TO CONTROL INSECT DISEASE
Plots and Burn All Dead Vegeta-
tion Soon as Possible.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The United States department Of ag-
riculture has issued an appeal to gar
deners in the New England states to
clean up. their plots and burn all the
dead vegetation as soon as possible
after killing frost this fall. Destruc-
ton by fire Of infested stock, stubble,
garden plants, aud weeds after killing
frost Is the only known method of com
batting the European corn borer, dan
gerOus insect pest Of corn new to this
country, and which has been found liv-
ing in corn fields of eastern Massa-
chusetts.
IF strenuous methods are not made
to check this insect, according to the
bureau of entomology of the depart
ment, it will spread to the great field
corn producing regions of the country,
do incalculable injury to the corn crop
and materially reduce the prosperity
as we'll as the food stocks of the ma
ton.
The pest is not definitely known to
occur outside of Massachusetts, but 1t
is possible that 1t may be present in
the other New England states. The
insect came from Europe, and is es-
pecially injurious to corn in Austria
Hungary, where it has been known to
destroy at least one-fourth Of the en-
tire crop in single year. During the
cold months it lives within the dead
and dried roots of corn, the larger
grasses, weeds, and garden plants.
Therefore the ease of destroying it at
this time by burning garden trash of
the kind mentioned.
Discovery of the insect should be re-
ported Immediately to the state agri-
cultural college or to the bureau Of en-
tomology, United States department
Of agriculture, Washington, ID. 9.

crop also improves the fertility Of the
soil, because of the leguminous nature
of the plants. There are number of
handpOwer and gasoline grinding mills
Of standard make now on the market
which can be purchased at from $40
to $50 each and will reduce soy beans
to palatable meal form. A gasoline
engine to operate one of these mills
will cost from $35 to SIS or more, de-
pendent on the make, size and quality.
Due to the relatively high oil con-
tent Of soy beans, 1t is advisable to
grind a mixture Of three parts Of corn
TO one part of soy beans, as in this
way practically balanced grain ra-
ton is supplied while difficulties due
to the cumming up Of the mill are
avoided. SOy-bean meal contains from
40 to AZ per cent of protein as COM
pared with SO to Al per cent Of pro-
TEN in the common varieties of cot
tonseed meal. 1t is essential to feed
smaller amounts Of sOy-bean meal on
account of its greater content of pro-
TEN and this naturally lowers the cost
Of production, as during normal peri
DDS soy-bean meal sells at practically
the same prices as the best grades of
cOttOnseed meal. With more extern
sive production of the soy bean crop
the price of the meal probably will
decline.

Snakes Reputation Undeserved.

The beginning of all religious cere-
monial is magic. Thus Aaron with his
rod. He turns it into a snake.
Most surprising, but not wholly
novel. "Old stuff !" say the priests of
Pharaoh. swatch us!" They, in like
manner, transform sticks into serpents.
But Aaron's snake gobbles up the
snakes of Pharaoh's clergy, and that
settles the argument.
The snake is nearly, If not quite, the
least intelligent of animals. To speak
of the wisdom Of the serpent" is
joke. Yet, through all the ages this
stupid and almost mindless reptile has
been credited with a sagacity ap-
preaching the supernatural.

Have you "the jumps'-or other
manifestations of nervousness Are
you easily confused or startled at I'M
expected noises or sounds2 Do you
worry or fret over trivialties2 Then
look to your nerves. Something is
radically wrong with them.
Upset nervous conditions usually re-
suit from some exhausted or impaired
bodily organ, which does not properly
give it's allotted service. Go after the
offender through that great recupera-
tory center of the body -your stomach.
Ask your druggist for DIR. CHARLES
TONIC TABLETS. They are the
very best of preparations to soothe
and smooth the racked and exhausted
nerves of nervous prostration victims.
Those who are debilitated those who
suffer from the grooming burden of
liver and kidney trouble, will once
more turn toward health, by using this
splendid formula.
The great wreckers of women's del.
icately balanced nervous systems as
exemplifed in the special ills peculiar
to their sex--will be quickly relieved
by DIR. CHARLES TONIC TAB
LET'S, which also present the gift OF
rich red blood to the anaemic. The
TONIC will also go far to arrest and
vanish dyspepsia and many wasting
diseases that lead to consumption.
There are no injurious come backs" to
DIR. CHARLES TONIC TABLETS - and
they will achieve marvellous recuperative re-
suits, where other tonics and reconstructives:
such as iron, strychnine. arsenic, cod liver oil,
etc. often fail Sale and pleasant to take.
