BEES HOUSED IN "COTTAGES''
Lithuanian Raisers Of Honey Furnish
Really Attractive Homes for
the Insects.

Beehives in Lithuania are not the
comfortable round igloolike huts that
axe commonly used in America. They
are built very much like the Lithu-
anian home, With slanting gable and
quaint doorway.
The cottages which they build are
considerably larger than the round
American hives. Double walls are
built so that protective warmth
may be kept in the hives and prevent
the bees from freezing during the ex-
IRENE cold Of the long winters. Pine
wood is always used because it is sup
posed to be greater protection
against cold and because it is the most
common tree in the forest lands OF the
country.
1t is in the coloring of the hives that
the Lithuanian asserts his Individual
ity. The life of the Lithuanian has
been starved of liberty and self-asser-
ton during centuries. He has been
oppressed by Germans and he has
beer oppressed by Russians-not only
his art and his literature but even his
language has been suppressed.
During the years Of oppression one
of the chief amusements and art me-
diums was the painting of hives. The
highest degree Of artistic beauty was
often realized. Color combinations of
originality and richness were striyed
Tor. And it is notable that bee
farmer tried as many different schemes
as possible, SO as to differentiate the
hives from one another.

.LINEMAN FOUND WIRE THIEF.
Bull Moose Was cuIprit Who Had
Disturbed the Telephone Com
rnunication Of Many Counties.

When the bull moose in the fol-
lowing story became tangled in a
mass of telephone wire, it took a
careful rescuer to get him free. The
incident occurred in the Maine forest
region north Of Bangor. In the Elec-
trical Experimental, the lineman who
was sent out to repair the damage de-
scribes, his experience
took up the trail, and couple OF
miles down, near Daisy Dam, l found
the slack wire and the break, but, to
my surprise, could find but one end.
Finally found the other end 500 feet
farther on. What had become Of the
500 feet? y
soon found out when got back
to the break in the line. There stood
a bull moose as big as a truck horse,
looking straight at me, as much as to
say, Here's your old wire. Come and
get it !"
The moose stood just at the end Of
the road, with six Or eight turns of
wire twisted tightly. round his horns,
several turns round his neck, and
300 or 400 turns of slack behind him.
Sneaking round, with the moose
watching me all the time, managed
to get hold of the slack wire and
hauled in until I got the end, when |
made fast to big tree. Then, cut
ting a good-sized saplng, I started
toward the moose. @
He began to sidle round, with head
down, name bristIing and blood in his
eye; it looked like war. Pretty soon.
however, he managed in his circliag
movements to make a turn round an
other tree, which gave. him much less
scope, and when the wire CAME taut
with his constant travelling he STUN
bled over it and fell in a heap.
Now was my chance! sneaked
up as close as darcd-maybe within
Is feet-and shipped off the wire with
my pliers.

FIGHT WEEVIL,
SOULE WARNS
State College Head
Makes Appeal to Geor-

ATHENS, July 17-President

statement to the press of Georgia :
The boil weevil is in our midst.
In many places he is doing serious
damage. This is affecting our farm.
ers in various ways. Some are pess
imistic, other Indifferent Some are
making a vigorous fight against his
depredations and others are sort of
drifting with the tide. In meeting
the orslaughts of this pest, action
mast be our wat :hword. In no 9TH
er case is eternal viligance more like
ly to be rewarded with s~ccess. We
need now to be actuated by the same
spirit with which those Georgia boys
enlisted in the marines and in the
regular army met and hurled back
the victorious advance of the Ger
mans at Chateau Thierry. 1t is a
fight to the death with a most for
midable and persistent foe, btu the
rewards are certain and will well re-
pay the effort expended. Let us be
up and doing, therefore, for we have
battle to fight and victory to win.
In making this fight, we should use
every agency at our command.
Therefore, let US be diligent in pick
ing up and destroying squares. Ev-
cry pair of weevils eliminated means
the destruction of a host of descend
ants.
In this connection it is we'll to re-
member that squares may be pune
tured by other insects than the boil
weevil, such as the cotton square Dor
er and other incidental caterpillars
and insects. Even under normal
conditions considerable percentage
of the squares set on by the cotton
plant shed off. In Georgia this may
even reach above rs ner cent of all

Calcium Arsenate Proven.
"The use of calcium arsenate I'M
der expert management has proven
practicable and profitable in CONTROL
ing the boil weevil Many people
will no doubt fail to secure salts,
factory results and will be disposed
to place the blame elsewhere than
to themselves. A review, however
of the situation will in nearly every
instance show that the trouble has
been due to a failure to carry out in
structions carefully and accurately,
In this connection, word of warn
ine is proper. Remember that only
tie highest grade calcium arsenate
should be used. 1t should not con
tain less than AZ per cent of arsenic
pentoxid and not more than rs pei
cent of water soluble arsenic. The
density should be from 80 to 100 Gu
bic inches per pound. If the ma
terial contains less than 40 per cent
of arsenic pentoxid, it is doubtful il
it will be sufficiently toxic to, effec-
lively control the weevil. If it con
tains more water soluble arsenic than
is indicated, the foliage will be burn
ed and the cotton plant injured. Re
member that as the quantity of water
soluble arsenic pentoxid increases
the greater the damage from its use
will be. This point cannot be en-
phasized too strongly Avoid dan
ger and damage to your crop by
safeguarding this point. 1t must be
in the form a very finely divided, dry
powder to be applied successfully.
"There is much low-grade calcium
arsenate on the market. Its use is
to be avoided as It will prove waste
full, improbable and even injurious
to the cotton crop.
Many Samples Bad.
According to reports furnished
this institution by the Government
Laboratory at Taliulah, Louisiana,
234 samples of calcium arsenate frcn
Georgia have been tested therein. Oh
this number, 124 were found to b.
