Apply Carbon Disulphid.

After the corn is thoroughly dry, 1t
should be placed in an alright crib
and four pounds of carbon disulphid
should be applied for each 1000 cubic
feet of space in the crib. If the shucks
are not removed, the quantity should
be doubled. The application should
not be made on damp or rainy days, as
too much moisture prevents speedy
evaporation. A second fumigation
should be performed within % to 30
days after the first.
Ordinarily, two fumigations are suf-
ficient to save the corn crop, although
II is essential to watch the grain close
ly thereafter, and, If necessary, to
make use of the carbon disulphid
treatment third time.

II suppose we have such a great

Mr.. Tennessee Warbler to his mate.
"Well," said Mrs. Tennessee War
bier, "you might describe me and l
might describe you. We both might
be too modest about ourselves. and 1t
would be fairer for each to describe
the other"
"That's a good suggestion said Mr..
Tennessee Warbler. "Well, who Will
begin?'
"You begin" said Mrs. Tennessee
Warbler.
IT think I had better do the good,
old-fashioned way of letting the ladies'
go first" said Mr.. Tennessee Warbler.
"But I'm not going anywhere" said
Mrs Tennessee Warbler.
mo, my love-" said Mr.. Tennessee
Warbler, "but it is true of more things
than going. 1t means that ladies should
walk through a door first or enter the
nest first, and that they should speak
first and be considered first"
"But I'm little bird" said Mrs.
Tennessee Warbler. "I'm not lady,.
"But birds are always behaving like
little ladies and gentlemen" said Mr..
Tennessee Warbler, $50 we had bet
ter do it in this case, too. Now, you
give the description first. At any rate
it's dividing the honors, for If you
give the description first 1T Is to be
about me, for you're to describe me-
and I'm to describe you"
"That's So" said Mrs. Tennessee

that often means more than beautiful

"And in the winter we live in Cen

"The description you give Of me is
one which l could give of you, too,
except that your head is Of the same
color as your back and isn't different
like mine," said Mr.. Tennessee War
bier, land there are a few things you
forgot to tell about us which I will
tell.
"We go far up north when it is
warm, in the summer time, so we're
really great travellers"
"And oh, Mr.. Tennessee Warbler, I
forgot to say something" said Mrs.
Tennessee Warbler.
II didn't say anything about the
nest and the precious eggs. Would
folks be interested in hearing about
the nest and the eggs?"
"Of course they would, my love-"
said Mr.. Tennessee Warbler.

"That's the kind Of neighborhood
we always want to be In" agreed Mr..
Warbler, cooking his head to one side.
"And the eggs" whispered Mrs
Warbler, "are white with reddish
specks on them. They're very lovely
and they make little warblers later
on"
"They do" said Mr.. Warbler, "and
YOU make lovely little bird mother
so do they make nice little birdlings

Connneaut, OTTO any person suffering
with blood disorder or scrofulous condi-
zion I do not hesitate to recommend DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Last
year my granddaughter had a scrofulous
swelling develop on her neck just below
the ear. The doctors ordered her to go
to the hospital to have it lanced, but l
advised her to take the Golden Medical
Discovery instead, and this medicine
cured her from within, instead of having
to submit to possibly serious results from
lancing. Her whole system seemed to be
greatly benefited by the Golden Medical
Discovery it did her so much good. We
are most enthusiastic in praise of the
Discovery and do not hesitate to recon-
mend it at every opportunity. Mrs

SERIOUS PEST OF POTATOES
Flea Beetles, Colorado Beetles, Early

The most serious enemies In potato
culture are flea beetles, Colorado po-

scab and powdered mildew. Most, If
not all of these, can be controlled or
prevented by frequent and thorough
applications of a combination Of lime
and copper-sulphate with water, which
is nothing else but the great fungtcide

follow where the husks are removed

of ten to fifteen days where it will have

also operates to free the grain from
