If we made the tractor lighter, it could
draw but two bottoms and would travel

This would mean more wear on the tractor
and less service for the farmer-shorter

If we made the tractor heavier, il

DOG AS cHlLD'S COMPANION
With the Right Kind OF Animal,
Younoster viii Seldom Stray
Beyond Safe Bounds.

An observation of our friend. the
farmer, that II dunno's l eve heard
Of a chlld's gettin' really lost that had
a dog to play WITH" merits cohsidera-
ton.
Sweeping congratulations are unsafe,
but there is no question of the value
Of a dog as a child's playmate and pro-
tector. Some dogs have the runaway
instinct themselves. The call Of the
wild stirs within them--they are

the right kind of dogs. and there are
many of them, who have been brought
up with children. are quick TO assume
the role of guardian. With such a dog
no child would ever get lost; indeed.
would not be allowed TO stray beyond
bounds.
We have in mind a Great Dane
whose temper was such that. although
we were acquaintances, we never ven
tured to enter his domain. If he were
around, until he had had time to sat
isfy himself that we could pass mus
ter. Once satisfied you were approved
by the god he called master and god
dess he called mistress, he had an
embarrassing way of standing on his
hind legs and placing his front ones
around your neck-a caress quite like
ly, if you were not well braced, to
knock you off your feet. He was the
inseparable companion of the baby OF
the family-a boy of four or five
who had a prediction for running
away. When the youngster started,
the Great Dane followed; when the
child reached the gate, the dog blocked
his way, gently but firmly. For any
one to have touched that child when
the Dane was near would have cost
him his life-unless he had first shot
and shot to kill.
The intelligence of the dog is a
source OF constant amaZement to
those who know him best and love hirl
most; and of his devotion there is,
happily, no question. If all children
had dogs as playmates there would be
fewer to run away and get lost.-New

PLOW AND CULTIVATE
TO KILL JUNE BUGS
Beetles Are Parents of White
Grub, Harmful to Corn.
II Takes Three Years for One OF In
seets to Develop From Egg Which
is Deposited in Meadows and
Sometimes in Cornfields.
CBy CHARLES c. wENTzLER)

CBy CHARLES c. WENTZLER)
Have you ever seen the so-called
June bug buzz!ng around an electric
light or seen them swarm on the side
walk In the gray OF a spring morning?
They are a big, dark-brown beetle
and at night when they bump against
the window panes or dy humping
against the ceiling make you crawl and
hunt for the broom.
These laundering, awkward beetles
of which the chickens and birds are sc
fond, are the parents of the corn pest
known as the "white grub" which
feeds on the roots of the plants and
destroys them.
Millions of them are destroyed I'm
spring by hungry birds and myriad
others go down to death in swarming
around the are lights of a city. They
are so sensitive to light that a fame,
miles away, will attract them.
1t takes three years for n Of these
beetles TO develop from the egg. The
beetles deposit their eggs In meadows
ana sometimes IN corntields. The tiny
grubs which emerge from the eggs de
vel0p into thick, tleshy, white grubs
which are also much sought for by
birds. When matured they are fully
one and one-half inches long.
Luckily for Mr.. Beetle, the grub
spends most Of his three years in the
soil out of the reach of enemies. DIFF
ferent beetles, however, are complet-
ing their growth every year and so
we have the June bug with us each
spring.
All corn is apt TO suffer from them
hut owing to the habit of the beetle In
deposting Its eggs in meadows, corn
that is planted in newly turned sod is
more apt TO suffer from these pests.
The best way to destroy them is TO
pillow and cultivate so that their
natural food Is destroyed and they are
starved TO death before planting the
field. Some farmers let the chickens
follow the pillow and destroy hundreds
of them in this way.

invented by c. A. HOWE, an electrical
engineer of Schenectady. wireless mes
