Of 61a or z inches in the spring after
March Is. Follow this with three or
four diskings to a depth of or
inches with a 16 or 20-inch disk, the
number Of diskings and the intervals
between them varying according to
the length Of the period between plow-
ing and planting. When it is neces-
sary to replant early injured corn,
plow the field deeply and thoroughly
and then give three or four deep disk
ings at intervals of two or three days.
These practices necessarily involve ad-
ditional labor, but they prevent root
aphis injury and also put the field in
much better physical condition. Plow-
ing in the fall before the ant colonies
go below the plow line is sometimes
as useful as spring plowing, but if
warm weather follows, the ants may
reconstruct their nests and reassemble
the aphids so that replowing in spring
will be necessary; but whether the
field be plowed in the fall or spring,
the spring diskings are essential.
Early fall plowing, followed by fire.
quent deep dislzings in fields damaged
by the root aphis that season, is a good
practice from the standpoint Of COM
munity control as well as for the per-
sonal benefit derived, because the
blowing disturbs the ant colonies, kills
many of the aphids, and destroys the
weeds upon which they live, and disk
ing prevents the recolonization Of ants
and prevents the growth of weeds, re-
sulting in a significant reduction in
the number of aphid eggs to carry the
insect through the winter.
/ RepelIents for Aphis.
Where it is impossible to practice
one of the foregoing measures, repel-
lents may be used to advantage. The
object is to repel the ants by the use
of an odorous substance offensive to
them, thus preventing them from col
onizing the aphids on the corn roots or
driving them from the treated field.
These materials destroy neither the
ants nor the aphids but tend to drive
away the ants, the presence of which
is essential to the life of the aphids.
OH of tansy, tincture of asafetida, oil
OF sassafras, anise oil, kerosene, and

the season be wet. One-fourth of a
pound of oil Of tansy should be diluted
with two quarts, Of alcohol and one
quart Of water two pints of asafetida
should be diluted with one and half
gallons of water, and either repellent
thus diluted should be added to 100
pounds Of bone meal, this amount be-
ing sufficient for an acre.

This lime of reasoning is logical, but
the enc thing that deters most people
from buying or building a home is a
lack of desire to assume the respon-
sibility of paying for it. When it is
considered that house may be pur-
chased by paying down small por-
ton of the cost and the balance as
rent, there is not so much respOnsi-
bility as most people believe.
Everywhere in the country now
there is shortage of available homes.
In almost every community this con-
dition prevails and those who are pay
ing rent are finding that the demand
is causing the property owners to
charge more and more for the houses
they own. Thus, whether they will it
or not, many people have been driven
by necessity into building homes for
themselves, while others are consid-
ering doing so.
Selecting design for q house is
undoubtedly the most important step
in securing hcme. Care should be

mANcAuRIHs SCOUT GREETINGS.

The second detachment of the Boy

headquarters in this country:
Dear Brothers: The second de-
tachment of the Boy Scouts of Man.
churia sends to you from far Russia
warm greetings and cordial congratula-
tion at the birthday of the great
teacher of truth, peace and good will
towards men. Let the new year be

Indian Tailor Bird.

A very curious nest is made by the
tailor bird of India, tiny yellow crea-
ture. To escape snakes and monkeys
this bird takes dead leaf, flies up
into tree. and with a fiber for a
thread and its bill for a needle sews
the leaf to n green one hanging from
the tree. The sides are sewn up, an
opening to the nest thus formed being
left at the top. The leaf, apparently
hanging from a twig, would never be
taken for a nest.

the interior wall and has a right angle
seat on one side. The dining room is
reached through glazed doors at the
right of the fire place. This is II by
10 feet, the buffet and two wall cases
being built into one end. The kitchen,
occupying the other corner of the
building is also large, 10 feet 6 inches,
by II feet 6 inches. The work table
is underneath the double windows on
the side, while there are cases on
either side OF it. The rear porch is
of the same width as the kitchen and
place is provided for icing the ice
box without entering the kitchen.
The second floor plan is similar to
the first. The front bedroom is of the
same size as the living room, extend
ing the width of the house. Adjoin-
Ing it, at the end of central hall,
is the bath room, while there are two
other bedrooms, one on each of the
two rear corners. Closets are placed
in each of these rooms.
The basement extends under the
whole of the house. Here rooms may
be built to keep the heating plant sep
arate from the other parts of the
basement, which always is a good plan
as it keeps the heat from the family
food storage room.
This is an exceptionally fine design
for house of this kind and size and
those who build according to it will
have homes to be proud of.
There is every reason why those
who have been considering building a
home should do so now. The govern
ment is urging thar all building be
started at once so as TO give the re-
turning soldiers employment. Con-
verting the industries that were trans
formed into munitions factories dur
ing the war into their peace time state
also has thrown many persons tenn

ers busy.
When it is considered that more
than so per cent of the cost OF
home is labor, it can readily be un-
derstood why building cannot be done
aOw so cheaply as a few years ago.
Nature furnishes the materials that go
into a building, while labor fashions
them into the required shape and con-
dition. Just so long as the present
wage level is maintained. so will the
cost of building materials stay up. At
that they are only 81 per cent more
now than In 1913, when they reached
low level.
There is one thing that every per-
son who intends building should do
If possible. That is to consult an
architect. These men are trained by
education and experience to get the
most for the money spent in building.
The small fee the architect charges
is saved many times over in prac.

TO PREVENT INSECT INJURY
Add Arsenate of Lead to Bordeaux
Mixture-Use Care in Making
and Applying Material.

Simple Bordeaux mixture will not
kill insects. In order to prevent in
sect injury add arsenate of lead at
the rate of two pounds to each fifty
gallons of Bordeaux Cor ten pounds to
the 250-gallon tank). Great care should
be used when making and applying
Bordeaux mixture. Do not spray
trees with it during damp, foggy
weather or during rainy period; for
it is likely to cause burning Of the
leaves and russeting of the fruit. at
such q time lime-sulphur solution may
be substituted for Bordeaux.

Cultural Practices.
Stir the soil thoroughly previous to
planting. The object of this pro-
cedure IS to disturb the ant colonies
and scatter and kill the aphids so as
to enable the plants to make sub
stantial growth before the ant and
nphid colonies can become re-establish-
ed, and also to prevent the growth of
weeds upon which the aphids live,
making it necessary for the ants to
carry the surviving aphids to new
fields. If infested fields are to be re-
planted to corn, plow them to depth

Archangel, March 23.-Recent dc
