When a number Of these cells are de
stroyed they appear as irregular white

severe. the whole leaf surface becomes
invested by these spots and finally
shrIvels and dies.
Spraying has been found TO be the

The spray should be applied to both

Of the spray.
In the greenhouse the sugar-bee,

application Of strong spray Of water

veTcn CROP IN HOME GARDEN


a few cents worth Of vetch seed

For example, II early corn or cab

for n follow-up crop. vetch can be
planted between the rows ut the time
Of the last cultivation. It will then b.
large enough to spade under In the fall

vetch Is to sow II In the fall or spring

be cleared at proper distances for
planting the tomatoes by turning IN

can be hoed In. Since II is green and
tender, this Is no great task and the

going to kill me. Oh, many bruises,

Printing in China.

The Chinese follow the primitive
way of printing from engraved wood
en- blocks. The matter to be printed
is first written by means of ink, upon
paper which Is pasted face downward
upon a block of a pear or plum tree.
After the paper becomes dry il is
rubbed until an inverted impression Of
the characters is left. Then the blank
spaces are cut away and the block is
turned over to the printer, who works
by hand. He takes care to ink the
characters equally and to avoid tear
ing the impression.

Getting the Best Results Out of a Fore
quarter of Lamb.

9GafLGEL cF LaFEO.
Are you aware of how much you can
get from a ~forequarter of lamb? If 1t
is cut correctly It should give a rack
of lamb French chops and a shoulder.
besides the neck and the breast. which
may be boiled.
From these last parts one can make
croqacttes, .E1cat loaf. minced lamb
ON toast and salad. besides many otl,-
er cooked meat dishes. The shoulder
can be filed and roasted, boiled with
capcr sauce or Tot roasted.
Tie rack, which is made I'D of dainty
French chops, is the choicest r,art of
the entire lamb, and If the butcher
cuts the forequarter correctly there
viii he twelve delicious chops These
may be ent as needed or roasted in one
piece.
To cut the forequarter correctly re-
move the shoulder and take out all the
bone; cut of the neck and breast, then
remove the chine and the chops. Don't
throw away the bones and trimmings
Boil and strain them, then set aside
to cool and remove the fat, which then
can be used for deep fat frying

lever system in Scotland, and nearly
q score of men were here representing
some ten or a dozen firms. to bid on
the job The bids showed quite a
wide range of prices. ths difference
between the highest and lowest bid
being about SIS, 900. The contract
was awarded to j. F Deslin of Sioux
City, for a consideration of $27. 76O.-
"a This was not the lowest bid, hut
was some SIS, 0GO fellow what the city
engineer had figured the job The
reason given by the council for ac-
cepting Mr.. Devlin's bid was that he
had had much experience in that line
of work which has proven s~atisfacto-
ry. while the man bidding lower had
had very little experience. The lines
covered by the cor tract will include
besides the main and outlet and

Few of the famous British regf-

which their early battle honors were
won, but the navy-whose record Of
fame dates from a much earlier pc
Rod than the army-has consistently
followed the policy of perpetuatfng
her famous names. The name of a
famous battleship is handed down to
a capital ship, while a famous frigate
or sloop is perpetuated in a modern

Pigeons spread disease when flying
at large" says a writer in Farm and

germs from infected places on their

diseases, but any live stock or other
germ disease. Many a mysterious out
