DIDN'T KNOW THE Y0UNGsTER
Little Incident Of the Draft That No
Doubt Had Its Counterpart in
Many Places.

A frail little chap he was, so young
and bOyish for all his One-and-twenty
years, writes Gordon Snow in the At

which spoke of knickerbockers and
rOmping childhood laid aside but yes

passed through the mill of the draft
as one of the many; but we met for
a brief 60 seconds one fine spring
night at the station, just as the train
was taking him away; and while men,
DRY lives, shall remember Joe.
He looked down at me from a car
window, and as he said good-by there
was twinkle in his eye as If he was
amused that did not know him.
"Say goOd-by to Mary Jane for me-"
he called as the train moved cut.
"WhO are you?" I cried, springing
alongside the moving car.
"Ha !" he laughed; I'm the grocer's
boy. Every day / came to your back
door. May Jane knows me and so
does the missus. Say good-by to both
of them for me-"
The train clicked away into the night.

ing. AS far as possible, therefore
skim milk should be used for human
food. and only the excess fed to live
stock.
Buttermilk Is equal to skim milk for
feeding hogs. while whey is half as
valuable. Whey. being low in protein,
Is not well suited for young pigs and
should be fed to older animals.
Ordinary grass pasture, or green rye,
oats. sorghum, rape, clover, alfalfa,
peas. or beans can take the place of
skim milk after the little pigs get a
start. Much green feed can be raised
without greatly reducing the acreage
Of other crops.
Calves and pigs do well when some
skim milk is fed. but they need it only
for short time and in limited uuan-
titles. Except when fed to very young
animals. skim milk Is fed most econom-
ically when supplemented with grain.
For dairy calves skim milk may be sub
stituted in part for whole milk on the
tenth day. If the calves are vigorous
they should receive a little grain and
hay at two weeks of age and it is safe
to discontinue the skim milk five or six
weeks later.
BY substituting grain, green feed,
buttermilk and whey for skim milk in
animal feeding. much skim milk NAV
be released for use in cooking. for con-
densing, or for making cottage cheese.

WirewOrms are especially destruc-
tive to seed corn In the ground and to
the young corn and wheat plants. They
work entirely underground and are
among the most difficult to control of
all the insect foes that affiict the farm
CT. Much may be done, however, to
lessen their ravages by careful tillage,
drainage. proper rotation Of crops, etc.
WirewOrms are the young Of the
common swapping beetles, or click bee
ties. and the worms are yellowish or
brownish, highly polished and slippery
to the touch. They move actively and
disappear rapidly when brought to the
surface by the pillow or spade. The
eggs are laid In the ground, usually
in sod lands, where the young worms
are Matched. It takes three years for
most kinds Of wirewOrms to get their
full growth and to become beetles.
Remedies for Wireworms.
The most successful method for the
control Of wirewOrms are cultural in
nature. 1t having been found impossi-
BILE, or at least impracticable, to poi
son them by any known means.
Where 1t is proposed to plant sod
land to corn the following year, to
prevent wirewOrm injury the land
should be plowed Immediately after
the first hay cutting, usually early in
July, and should be cultivated deeply
during the remainder Of the summer.

infested should be cultivated deeply.
even at the risk Of slightly root pruning
the corn. This should be continued
as long as the corn can be cultivated,
and as soon as the crop is removed
the field should be titled thoroughly
before 1t Is sOwn to wheat.
In regions where wheat is seeded
down for hay, any treatment Of in
Tested fields is precluded. Where the
wheat Is not followed by seeding to
other corps, the Acids should be plow-
ed rs soon as the wheat is harvested.
This kills the worms by destroying
their food supply and preventing them
from preparing suitable sleeping quar-
tiers for the winter.
A thorough preparation of corn land
and liberal use of barnyard manure
or other fertilizer is recommended, and
a vigorous stand may be produced

Avoid Fresh Sod.
Do not plant grain, and especially
corn. on freshly broken sod land il
this can be avoided. To do so exposes
it to almost certain injury by wire

Plant such land first to soy beans,
cowpeas. clover. alfalfa, or buckwheat,
afterwards rotating to grain. The
growing Of any one kind of grain on
