Jusserand's Tribute.

A very eloquent Frenchman, Ambas-
sador Jusserand, has paid this hand
some tribute to the American army in
France "a valiant army, the praise OF
which is on every lip; youthful, good
humored. CHEEKY army, whose every
soldier is welcome in castle or hut, and
is offered just as heartily the best cake
or the last crust; an immense army
that grows ceaselessly-month after
month you sent over double the num-
Der of men Napoleon had at Waterloo.
Many French names written on your
map recall our presence here at the
time of your fight for independence,
chief among them that of Lafayette.
Many American names will in after
time recall the splendid part you are
taking in the deliverance of France
and of the world. Youths Compan-
ion.

When cold weather is approaching
and the ant carries the aphids' eggs
and the young ants deeper into the
soil, the ant goes at least eight inches
under the soil and eight inches is
deeper than the ordinary pillow fur
row.
The particular aphis that attacks
corn is called the corn-root aphis be-
cause of its preference for that plant
In gardens it is very common on as
ters and related plants. There are
many other varieties of aphfs, how
ever and for many Of them ants have
a tender feeling. For instance, there
are the aphids that attack orange
trees in California. The ants surround
these aphids, attack other insects that
attempt to reach them, and induce the
aphids to excrete hOneydew by strok-
ing their bodies with their antennae,
or feelers. Unfortunately for the or
ange aphids, however, they are at
tackled by winged parasites which
sting and lay eggs in them, and these
parasites are so small and active that
the ants cannot successfully defend
their charges.
How to Control Pests.
The corn-root aphids in fields is con-
trolled by rotating with crops upon
which the aphids cannot live, by p1oY
ing and disking, thus breaking up the
ant and aphis colonies, and by the use
of certain pungent substances, mixed
with a chemical fertilizer and distrfb-
uted by means Of q fertilizer attach
ment to the corn planter. These sub
stances tend TO drive away the ants
and prevent them from placing aphids
on the corn roots.
Aphids In Gardens.
The home gardeners whose plants
are attacked by aphids, such as the
melon aphis, spinach aphis, potato
aphis, and the turnfp and cabbage
aphids, which live above ground, the
specialists Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture recommend
spraying with 20 per cent nicotine sui
phate at the rate Of one teaspoonful
Of the sulphate to one gallon of wa
ter, in which has been dissolved a one
ounce cube of laundry soap.
Killing the ants, Of course, by de-
stroying their colonies Will help in
the control Of the cOrn-root aphids in
gardens, and this is about the only
way it can be controlled, since, living
underground, It cannot be reached by
sprays. The simplest attack on the
ants is to scald their hills with boil
ing water. Another method is to
pour a little carbon dfsulphid into the
entrance to the hill and Immediately
cover the entrance with earth in order
keep the poisonous fumes in the fur
row.

garden aphids, and should not be post

ment Of AgricuIture.)
New wonders of nature continually
are opening to the home gardener who
watches carefully the evolution of the
creatures IN his food plot. Even the
insects that attack his plants have
power to amaze. And no insects are
more interesting than the tiny plant
lice or aphids, which grow in a large
number of forms and suck the juices
from various kinds OF plants.
The most remarkable thing about
some of the aphids is their partnership
with other insects. Many forms of the
aphids are fostered and protected from
the beginning to the end of their little
lives by the industrious ants. The part
nership seems to have reached a most
pefect form in the case of the corn
root aphids and the cornfeld ant, and
it is usually found that where there
are aphids there are ants.
Operation of Ant-Aphis Alliance.
The partnership of ant and aphis-
the cornfield ant and the corn-rOot
aphis-operates in nearly every sec
ton where corn is grown east Of the
Of the corn belt states. The work
ings of the partnership have been COM
pared to a subterranean dairy, with
the aphis as the anlCs "cow," the ant
directing the enterprise, the aphis do
ing the work, and the ant getting the
profits. The ant is not directly harm
full to the corn, but the aphis is. With
out the ant, however, the firm would
have to go out Of business, and that IS
why the United States department Of
agriculture tells farmers who want
to get rid Of corn-root aphis to get rid
Of the ant. The same advice applies
In the case of certain other forms Of
root aphids.
This Is how the subterranean dairy
works:
In the fall the ants carry the eggs
Of the aphids to their nests and care
for them as they do for their own
young. In the spring, when the eggs
hatch, the ants tunnel along weed
roots and place the helpless aphids on
the roots. Soon the aphids begin to
give off "honeydew," made from the
juices of the plants on which the
aphids are resting. The ant dearly
loves ''honeydew," and they tenderly
watch over and care for their COWS"
The aphids are wholly dependent
throughout their life on the ants.
Escaped Aphids Seized by Ants.
The first two or three generations of
aphids live entirely on the roots of
weeds, but as soon as the newly-plant-
ed corn sprouts the ants transfer the
aphids to the more succuIent corn
roots. After two or three successive
generations. many of the aphids may
be winged, and some escape from the
ground through the ant tunnels and
fly away to a new field. If they chance
to alight near an ant hill they are
seized Immediately by the watchful
ants, carried into their burrows, placed
on roots, and honeydew production

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain sitro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Viqor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people feShy. developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly holiows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
OF men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinneSs.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency SO well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bftro-phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements. bitro-
phosphate should produce q welcome
transformation in the appearance: the In.
crease in weight frequently being aston
ishing.
Increase IN weight also carries with It
a general improvement in the health:
Nervousness, sleeplessnesS and lack OF
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness should disappear, dull
eyes become bright and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom OF perfect health:
CAUTION: - Although bitro-phoSphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness. 1t
should not. owing to its tendency to an
crease weight, be used by anyone VINO
does not desire to put on flesh.

For the average farmer whose or

lance in his farm production, the ordi-
nary hand pump barrel sprayer is the
most desirable. It can be bought and

the owner of the small orchard hest
