Vegetables Need Lots of Water-This
Gardener Is Using 1t in Transplant
ing Tomatoes.

pump by means of hose. The water
is discharged at any desired angle or
direction through the small holes on
the side of the pipe. Water should be
applied by the sprinkler system only
during the latter part of the day or
in the evening so that it will have
plenty of time to soak into the soil
overnight. An abundance of water
should be put on at one time, and
then no more applied until the plants
really need it.
Expensive but Effective.
Sulhrrigation or underground water
ing is practiced in many localities. es-
pecially where the subsoil is rather
close, and does not allow the water to
flow away freely. Lines of ordinary
open-joint drain tile, such as are used
on farms for draining land, are EN-
ployed. The tiles are laid in lines 4
to feet apart, at a depth of 10 to 1S
inches, so they will not be disturbed
in plowing. In laying the tile the lines
should be level and the joints placed
close together. The water will flow
through the tiles and escape at the
joints into the soil. This is perhaps
the best method of applying water to
garden crops wherever the conditions
are suitable for its use, as the water
goes direct to the roots of the plants
and the surface remains dry, making
it possible to keep up continuous cul-
tivation. The objection to the system
is that it is rather expensive to install.
but when once in place it will serve
for many years.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
mert of Agriculture)
Spraying, compared with its cost. is
one of the most profitable forms of
orchard work, and one of the most
likely to be neglected or misdirected.
according to specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
There is need that fruit growers have
"a more intimate knowledge of spray
ing materials, spraying machinery, and
especially the why's and wherefores
of spraying. The up-to-date orchard
ist must know Just what each spray
application will do and the proper
time and method for applying it.
Necessary to Know How Insects Feed.
A better knOviedge of the life and
habits Of the more common insect
pests and Of the nature of insecticides
will add much to the efficiency of con-
troll measures. The general character
of sprays tol be used depends on the
character of the mouth parts Of the
insects.
Broadly speaking, all insects secure
their food in one of two ways: (D
BY actually biting out and swallowing
portions of the food material; (2)
by sucking out the juices. The first
type includes caterpillars or the
larvae of moths and butterflies, adult
beetles and their grubs, grasshoppers.
crickets, sawflies and their larvae,
bees, etc.
All biting insects are subject to de-
structipn by arsenicals or other stom-
ach poisons. Some biting insects,
however, such as borers and certain
root-lnfesting forms, do not feed in
situations where poisons may be ap-
piled, and for these a different treat
ment is necessary.
Among sucking insects may be list
ed plant lice, scale insects, leafhop-
pers, the pearpsylla, and the true bugs,
all very important enemies of the fruit
grower. For their control the So
called contact sprays are used, sprays
that corrode the body or permeate the
breathing spores of the pests or other
wise effect their destruction.
Biting and sucking insects often oc-
cur in way to permit their destruc-
ton by poisoning the air which they
breathe, as with hydrocyanic-acid Ias
or carbon disulphide, but in many
cases the expense and danger make
this method impracticable.
Summer spraying is directed against
bud, leaf, and fruit-eating insects, and
for these arsenicals chiefly are used.
Dilute contact insecticides are also
employed in the control of certain in
sects, SUCH as aphids, red bugs leaf
hoppers, etc.
The arsenicals in most common use
are arsenate of lead, paris green, and
arsenate Of lime, used as strong as
the foliage will stand. The foliage
of stone fruits, as cherry, plum, and
peach, is on the whole quite tender,

THINNEST IN WINTER

Most people think that in the sum-
mer, when they perspire freely, they
lose far more weight than in the win
ter, when they wrap themselves up
in order to keep warm. But the re-
verse is the case. From September
to March the human Srame undergoes
a gradual wasting process, because
there is a greater call on the reserves
of fat to maintain the heat of the
body. With the commencement of

LIME BENEFICIAL TO SOILS
Particularly Advantageous to Garden
Plot and Will Also Correct
Sourness of Land.

An application of about so pounds
of hydrated or air-slaked lime to
garden plot 80 by 60 feet in size will
often prove beneficial. Lime has the
effect of loosening and pulverizing anv
heavy clay soil and of binding loose
sandy soil. Lime also corrects sourness
in the soil, which is often due to lack
of drainage, but in a case of this kind
drainage should be secured.

COAL ASHES ON HEAVY SOIL
Particularly Valuable to Loosen Soil
and Make 1t WorkabIe-No Good

Coal ashes have little value as fer
tilizer, their use being mainly to loos-
en- the soil and make it workable. They
are most valuable on heavy clay soil.
but should be screened to take out
coarse material before they are ap-
piled, and should be spread evenly ov-
er the surface and thoroughly mixed
with the soil. Wood ashes have ferti-
lizing value, but should be applied be-
fore they become leached.

recommend Lydia E. Pinkham' medicine
to suffering women. - Mrs. BERTHA
LIERNG, R. F. D., Ravenswood, w. Va.
The ordinary day of most housewives
is a ceaseless treadmill of washing,
cooking, cleaning, mending, sweeping,
busting and caring for little ones. How
much harder the tasks when some de-
rangement of the system causes head
aches, backaches, bearing-down pains
and nervousness. Every such woman
should profit by Mrs. Liering's expert
ence. Remember this, for over forty
years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been restoring health

and on these arsenicals must be en-
ployed with caution.
The important insecticides may be
grouped principally into these three
series:
Stomach poisons for biting insects
arsenate of lead, paris green, arsen-
ate of lime, arsenate Of soda, arsen-
lite Of lead, arsenite- of lime, arsenite
of soda, Scheele's green, London pur-
pie, white arsenic, heIlebore. etc.
Contact sprays for sucking insects
lime-sulphur solution. self-boiled lime
sulphur mixtures, fsh-oil soap wash,
kerosene emulsion, crude-petroleum
emulsion, distillate emulsion, nicotine
solution, pyrethrum. caustic soda,
caustic potash, carbolic-acid emulsion,
sulphur spray, resin, resin wash.
For fumigating the specialists rec
ommend hydrocyanic-acid gas, carbon
disulphide, or sulphur dioxide. These
are effective against all classes of in
sects when it is desirable to use them.
Arsenate of Lead Most Widely Used.
Arsenate of lead is the best known
and most extensively used stomach
poison for insects. 1t has a wider
range of usefulness than any other
internal poison now available. 1t is
safe for use on the foliage of most
plants, has good adhesive qualities,
and owing to its f1Eeness, remains in
suspension well in water. Moreover.
it can be safely combined with cer-
tain contact sprays, as nicotine, kerr
osene emulsion. soaps, etc., and with
a number of fungicides such as lime
sulphur mixture, and bordeaux mix
ture. 1t should not be combined with
sodium or potassium sulphides.
Commercial arsenate of lead may
be obtained as paste or powder. Pow
der is coming into extended use by
reason of the convenience with which
1t may be handled and stored, and the
saving in freight by the absence of
water. Paste arsenate of lead, how
ever. may be stored from year to year
If properly covered with water to pre-
vent drying, and protected from freez.

WEEDS ARE GREAT NUISANCE
Constant Source of TROUBLES to
Farmer in Raising cropsZsteaI
Nourishment From Plants.

The farmer does not have to be told
that weeds are constant source of
trouble to him in the raising of his
crops. They not only cause him a
great deal of extra work from early
spring until late fall, but they are an
eyesore and seriously interfere with
the best crop yields. On every farm
they are a nuisance and when we stop
TO think of how common they are
throughout the country, how rapidly
they spread, and how much nourish-
ment they take from the growing
crops we are really surprised to know
that farm crop yields have been
brought up to their present high aver
age.

SUCCEEDING WITH sORGHUMs
Seeds Will Not terminate Well Nor
Will Plants Make Good Growth
In Cold Climate.

The grain sorghums are of subtropi-
cal origin and therefore grow best
where the temperatures are high. The
seeds will not germinate well nor will
the plants make normal growth in
cold soils. For the best results seed
ing must not be done too early in the
spring. A good time to SOW in any
given locality is from 10 days to two
weeks later than the average date for
planting corn there

STOP MICE EATING HARNESS
Usually Done Because They Are
Hungry for Salt Soaked Into
Leather From Horses,

Usually when mice gnaw harness
leather it is because they are hungry
for salt, which has soaked into the
leather from the sweating of the
horses. Putting oil on the harness
will not help very much.
A remedy known to be successful
was the placing of pans of salt
around the barn so that it could be
gotten at directly by the mice. When
they found they could get the salt
without gnawing it out of the leather
they let the harness alone.
