'AINT" THE ARGENTINE ANT
AWFULl

tatiyes of the Mississippi Plant
Board get on it's trail. after which
it may be truthfully said that the
Argentine ant just simply amt. =
At least. this seems to be the case
in Woodyille, Miss, where the Ar
gentine ant control was started In
September. Two months later 50
per cent OF the ants were reported
dead. and such expressions as
worked like a charm" the best
thing that ever happened to Wood
VILE" and haven't seen an ant in
my house since. were common
in Woodville.
This troublesome pest was inn
ported many years ago. probably
from Brazil, and has been constant
ly increasing in numbers until now
it is found in scattered localities
from Texas to the Atlantic, attack
ing gardens, running orchard and
truck crops, and swarming into
houses, In some instances forcing
people to vacate their homes.
Most attempts to poison the ants
have usually been unsuccessful be-
cause the poison was so strong the
ants avoided it after a few had
been killed. However, after a num-
Der of experiments, E. r. Barber of
the United, States bureau of ento-
mology, succeeded in compound
ing a weakley poisoned syrup which
continues to attract the ants and
eventually exterminates them al
most entirely. The details of max
ing and applying this syrup. with
much valuable information about
the Argentine ant, is given by Mr..
Barber in Farmers Bulletin No.
11O1, distributed free by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The State Plant Board of Missis-
sippi. In cooperation with several
towns of the state. has been very
successful in fighting the Argentine
ant. Much of this success was
doubtless due to the personal super
vision of Mr.. Barber and to the
splendid assistance of Mr.. Luther
Brown and other members of the
State Plant Board. The towns
have furnished the necessary ma
terials and labor while the Plant
Board has supervised the work, u.s.
ing at times six or seven men to
carefully direct the operations.
That Woodville put on the first
campaign in the state against the
Argentine ant was largely through
the efforts of Miss Mittie Fulger.
home economics agent for Wilker-
son county. Already a decided sue
cess, the use of the poison will be
continued in AN effort to entirely
eradicate the pest in that town.
Campaigns have since been put on
in Crystal Springs, Laurel and
Durant. and while favorable reports
have already been received. suffic-
lent time has not yet elapsed to
give the complete success that is
expected.
Considerable trouble and delay
was experienced this year in pro-
curing supplies. but to guard against
delay next GEAR the State Plant
Board is now arran ging to keep
the necessary materials on hand in
large quantities. and will be ready
to start the fight without hitch
whenever any town wishes to CO.
operate. Persons or organizations
interested should address the State

planning dairy barns during the last
few years, and the dairyman who
builds from these carefully drawn
plans gets not only a place in which
the work can be done efficiently, but
gets a winter home for his herd that
keeps them warm, healthy and pro-
ductive. These are advantages that
appeal to the progressive business
farmer, for, in the end, they mean de-
creased costs of production and in
creased profits.
In the accompanying illustration is
shown a modern dairy barn Of good
size and the silo, which is a most
valuable feed reservoir. This barn is
what is known as a "gambrel roof
barn." of plank frame construction.
The barn sits on a concrete founda-
ton, the walls of which form the
dairy stable. 1t is 36 feet wide and
116 feet long and provides stalls for
AZ mixers, pens for their calves and
box stalls for the bull, If the owner
has a sire for his herd. Above the
stable is NOW space for sufficient
roughage to carry this number Of an
imals through the winter, while the
silo provided storage for the fresh
food the animals need to continue
maximum production Of milk
through the cold months.

lated structure. The stable floor, it

ing and in the evening, and the aver
sion of the modern farm helper to
work the long hours required makes
1t necessary that those in the dairy
industry use all the labor-saving meth
DDS that the prosperous dairy farmers
have devised.
Most of the work on the dairy farm
is performed in the barn. Conse-
quently modern barns are planned and
equipped SO as to make the work
easy. Overhead carriers transport
the food to the hangers, and carry
out the litter; individual drinking
bowls, one for each two stalls, do
away with the work of watering the
animals. Concrete floors. with gut
ters at the rear Of each stall, provide
a means of cleaning the barn by wa
ter under pressure.
Couple these conveniences with
milking machines, and more than half
the labor formerly required to take
care of the dairy cows and their prod
ucts is eliminated.

THoREAU's GIFTS WERE MANY
Apart From His Wonderful knowledge
Of Nature, There Were Few
Things He Could Not Do.

Thoreau could guide him
self about the woods on the darkest
night by the touch Of his feet. He
could pick up at once an exact dozen
pencils by the feeling, pace distances
with accuracy, and gauge cubic con-
tents by the eye. :. His knowl-
edge of nature was so complete and
curious that he could have told the
time of year, within day or so, by
the aspects of the plants. In his deal
ings with animals, he was the orig
inal Of Hawthorne's Donatello. He
pulled the woodchuck out Of its hole
by the tail; the hunted fox came to
him for protection; wild squirrels
have been seen to nestle in his waist
coat; he would thrust his arm into
a pond and bring forth bright, pant
ing fish, lying undismayed in the palm
Cf his hand. There were few things
that he could do so. He could make
a house, a boat, a pencil, or a book.

Puma. a Fish. snins SILK.

The most costly of all kinds of silk
hosiery is made from silk which is not
the product Of the silkworms, but a
species of shellfish called puma. The
puma makes its home in the warm
waters of the Mediterranean around
Sicily. 1t has an odd little tube at
the end of its tongue. Out of this
tube, spider fashion, or silkworm fash
ion, it spins a silk thread with which
it fastens itself to any rock to which
it wishes to adhere. When the puma
moves on to fresh feeding grounds it's
silken cable is left behind. This cable,
which is called byssus, the Sicilian
fishermen gather. Byssus weaves in
to the softest, finest, sheeniest of fab
rics; but it is very rare and the stock
ings woven from it consequently are
as has been said-exceedingly expen-
sive.-New England Fisheries.

Origin of Old Saying.

If you will read up on the theologi-
cal controversy between Arius and
Athanansius over the nature of the
second person in the Trinity you will
get the plausible origin Of the saying.
Il don't care an iota." The one con-
tended, using the Greek word, that
Jesus was "homoousios," i. e., of the
same nature as God, the other arguing
that he was 'homoiousios; that is,
Of similar nature. You will detect
that the two Greek words differ only
by an iota, the Greek name for their
letter al" So one tired of the riots

quisitions, contentedly said he did not

will be noticed is well lighted by the
almost continuous row of windows in
the side walls. On the roof are ven
tilators, which are connected with
foul-air shafts in the side walls and
which draw the impure air out of the
stable.
How the four blocks Of stalls are
arranged and the location of the pens
for the calves are shown on the floor
plan that accompanies the exterior
view. The stalls all face a feeding
alley extending through the center of
the barn. At the rear of the stalls
are the litter alleys, the cutters sunk
into the concrete floor extending the
length Of the building and are con-
nected with floor drains, which per-
mits the flushing with water of the
alley.
Sunshine, which is a great aid in
keeping the COW stable sanitary is ad-
mitted through the windows. Foul
air ducts are located in the walls of
the stable and fresh-air inlets are in
stalled near the stable ceiling. Thus
does the modern barn provide means
of keeping the cows supplied with
fresh air and the stable purged of the
foul air and animal dampness that in
the old-fashioned barn endangered the
health of the animals.
The stall equipment is of steel. This
includes the stall partitions, the
stanchions, and the manger partitions
At each stall head is an individual
drinking cup, connected with a pres
sure water system. Cleverly devised

Conservation of labor on the farm
Is one of the modern farmers greatest
problems. Farm labor has followed
other labor upward in cost, and a ma
Jority of farmers are having consider

even at the present high wages.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. II stands the highest for
it's remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
80 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 80
common TO the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. II Is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles Of two sizes,
medium and large.

great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer q Co.. Binghamton, N. Y. for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

Inlng. In the preparation OF VeSeld-
bles and fruit there is a great waste.
The careful peeling of potatoes will
save great amount of food in few
months. Potatoes may be cooked in
their jackets for many dishes, saving
the time in preparing and waste III
peeling.
Keeping the pairing and carving
knives well sharpened is an economy,
for no matter how expert, there will
be waste in using dull tool.
When using a gas stove, the broiler,
if it is the oven burner, can be used
while the oven is working, saving gas
and getting it's full value. In many
cases the oven burners may be turned
off five to ten minutes before the food
is to be removed.
Crackers will keep crisp for long
time if kept tightly covered away
from the air. If at all stale, by placing
them in a hot oven to crisp they will
be quite as good as if fresh.
A dessert that may be prepared
while one is getting breakfast will ap
peal to the average cook. Such des
sert is junket. Take one junket tablet
crush it and dissolve in tablespoonful
of water. For quart Of milk one tab
let is sufficient; take half a tablet fol
a pint of milk, which will make foul
sherbet cups Of dessert. Sweeten ant
flavor to taste; stir in the dissolved
tablet and let the glasses stand in &
warm room to set before cooling. The
milk should be heated to just luke
warm before the dissolved tablet i:
added. Hotter than that will spoil the
junket and it will not thicken. Serve
with cream, chopped nuts, grated ma
pie sugar, candied or preserved gingel
or any fruit.
Tea and coffee should never be lef
in open receptacles or paper bags
but should be carefully sealed in air
tight cans or jars.
The oil mops for the bare floors, fht
dustless busters, all help to make thu
cleaning Of a room much easier thar
the old methods Of broom and hare
sweeping, besides saving the stirrin.
up Of clouds of dust.
A vacuum cleaner cleans rugs, fur
niture, curtains and mattresses, thu
doing away with much hard work.
When cooking on the top of the ga
range the burners should not be light
| ed until the dish to be cooked is al
ready placed, and the gas should b.
turned out before removing the dis
after cooking. With a self-lighter it i
always an economy to turn off the ga
