BROWN-TAIL MOTH IMPORTED
Inspection OF French Nursery Stoke
Results in Uncoverino Many
Nests of Insects.

Federal and state inspection of
French fruit and rose stocks during
recent months has resulted In the in
perception of 85 nests Of the brown
tail moth In 80 shipments, In contrast
with 63 infested French shipments
which have arrived in this country
during the last nine years. The find
ing Of so many nests In such a brief
period indicates that the French In
spectiOn service Is much below the
standard Of previous years. To meet
this situation, all French shipments
of rose and fruit stocks are being
fumigated at the port Of entry under
the direction Of the Department of
Agriculture, as well as inspected at
destination by state inspectors. Fur
thermore, warning has been sent to
the French nurserymen and the
French inspection service to the effect
that II shipments continue to arrive
infested with nests Of this injurious
insect, 1t may be necessary to cancel
all existing permits to import French
stocks.

Board floors harbor rats, and rot quick

Cement floors are adapted to per-

APPLYING WATER TO GARDEN
Of Much Importance That Work
Should Be Done Without Injury to
Any Of Various Plants.

In applying water to garden crops IL
is important that the work should be
done thoroughly without injury to the
plants. An occasional thorough water
ing, with at least one good cultivation
after each watering. will give better re.
suits than more frequent sprinkling of
the surface. Home gardeners have in
many instances fitted up simple sys-
toms for irrigating their gardens that
hive proved u great help in carrying
the crops ovcr dry periods.

caring for homo gardens, write to the

ture for bulletins on the subject Tiny

ENRICH SOIL BY TRENCHING
In Preparing Land-Eeavy
Yields Arc Secured.

The home gardeners of England take
great pains In preparing their soil,
even going to the extent Of throwing
the surface soil to one side and then
spading manure into the subsoil to a
depth of IA to 10 inches. After the SUBJ
soil Is so treated the surface soil is re-
placed and great quantities Of rotted
manure mixed with 1t. This process
Is known as "trenching." 1t results In
heavy yields Of vegetables and enables
the crops to Withstand a drought Pc
riod much better than where the soil
Is not broken so deeply. Details of the
preparation Of garden soils are dis
cussed In bulletins Of the United
States Department of Agriculture.

Dipping is the only practical way
to rid sheep of ticks and lice, say ex-
perienced sheep men, who further
point out that lice cause sheep to
pull their wool and thus injure the
fleece.
Bad as ticks are, lice are said to be
even more dreaded. Sometimes it is
even difficult to find them. If sheep

LEFT THE FIELD AS FRIENDS
Satisfactory End Of Famous Duel Be-
tween Two Great Americans In
Countrys Early Days.

Henry Clay, secretary of state, and
famous orator, once fought a duel
with John Randolph, senator, and
afterward minister to Russia. The
two had exchanged words over Clay's
action In throwing his support to
Adams for President, thus defeating
Randolph's friend. Andrew Jackson.
The terms Of the duel were these ::
Pistols, the weapons, at 10 PAGES,
each party to be attended by two
seconds and surgeon, and Repre-
sentative Benton allowed to be pres
ent as mutual friend. No practice
with the pistols. The signal, "Fire.
One, two, three, stOp!" There was
an exchange Of shots. Randolph's
bullet struck the stump behind Clay,
and Clay's kicked up the gravel be-
hind Randolph. This Is child's play"
exclaimed Clay with an impatient
gesture. Both demanded another fire.
When the next signal was given
Randolph received Cay's fire, raised
his own pistol and discharged II In
the air. saying: 81 do not fire at you,
Mr.. Clay" The second Clay realized
that Randolph had deliberately thrown
away his fire, in gush Of admiration
the son Of Kentucky sprang forward.
They met half way and grasped hands
cordially. His voice husky, Clay said:
II trust in God, my dear sir, you are
unhurt. After what has occurred. I
would not have harmed you for n
thousand worlds"

soon as they are Of any size, may be
given the same treatment. In order
that the sheep may go into winter
quarters In good condition and free
from ticks, it Is well to dip again in
the fall.
Any Of the well-known dips are
satisfactory, say the sheep men at the
New York state college Of agricul-
ture, but whatever one Is selected 1t
is important TO follow directions close
ly, they point out. Dips are of two
kinds, the powder dips and the So
called cOal-tar dips.

out the regions mentioned neither corn
nor potatoes should be planted on such
land, because these crops will almost
surely be severely injured If this be
done. Ground that was in pure clover
or even in corn last year Is likely to
be quite safe for planting to corn this
year, because the beetles which are
the parents Of the white grubs do not
usually lay their eggs In such crops.
A good rotation of crops to escape
white grub injury is as follows: First
year, oats or barley; second year,
clover; third year. corn. Timothy or
other grasses harbor white grubs from
year to year, and therefore, In case
they are grown, the land producing
them should not be planted to corn,
at least the first year after 1t Is
broken from the sod.

information on white grubs, and may

The best time for the farmer to be-

the fact that there is plenty of hay
