Insects And Diseases in the Gar
den.

Insects which attack vegetables
NAV be divided into two groups
those which eat or chew the leaves
or fruit, and those which suck the
plant juices.
Biting insects may be poisoned by
spraying the plants with poisonous
solutions or by dusting them with
poison powders. Potato beetles, flea
beetles, cabbage worms, striped Gu
cumber beetles and similar biting in
sects may be held in check by spray
ing the plants with arsenate of lead
haste at the rate of two pounds to
fifty gallons of water. The spray
sticks better, especially on smooth
plants like cabbage, if a little soap or
nolasses is dissolved in the spray. The
arsenate of lead may be obtained as
dry powder, mixed in a quantity
of flour or air-slaked lime and dust
ed on the plants.
Sucking insects like plant lice may
be held in check by spraying with
soap suds, kerosene emulsion or to-
bacco decoction. Most insects are al
so repelled to a greater or less de-
gree by the presence of fine dust,
which tends to close their breathing
pores. For that reason, it is best
to keep the surface soil well titled to
maintain dry, surface dust mulch.
Wood ashes, air-slaked lime, insect
powder or tobacco dust sprinkled on
and about the plants also help to
keep down insects
Most fungus diseases such as eel
cry rust and potato blight, may be
held in check by spraying with bor-
deaux mixture; four pounds copper
four pounds lime; fifty gal
Ions water.
Where both insects and fungi are
it is well to add two pounds
of arsenate of lead paste to the fifty
gallons of bordeaux mixture. This
combination spray is to be recon-
mended especially for potatoes to
control the potato beetle and potato
blight. Detailed information on the
control Of garden insects will be
found in Extension Service Circular
Is, Of the University of Missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture.

The vendetta of the Republi-

Who believes at this late day
that the members of the vendet-

treaty? They disclosed their
spirit before the pact was form-

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him helpless and I'M
able to work.
He finally decided, after years of
eeaseless study, that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accumulated
impurities, commonly called uric acid
deposits, were dissolved in the joints
and muscles and expelled from the
body.
With this idea in. mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and final
iy compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
.sign and symptom from his system
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it, with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
ferers everywhere know about his dis
covery through the newspapers. All
druggists have been appointed agents
for Allenrhu in this vicinity with the
understanding that they win freely re-
turn the purchase money to all who
state they received no benefit.
