however, by poisonous applications

Dainty In HabIts
The b&etles, It Is said, are dainty In
their feeding habits, carefully avoiding
foliage that has been sprayed, and at
lacking either unsprayed parts or fly
ing to other plants. Repellents such
az tobacco dust were found to be the
most effective of those tested, and Of
the arsenicals, heavy applications Of
arsenate Of lead gave the most salts
factory results.
A formula that gave excellent ~
suits was arsenate Of lead paste, ]

made to coat thoroughly the under
surface Of the leaves. Two or three
applications at FIVE to eight-day inter
walls are sufficient even IN case OF Sc

pllcation is made promptly on the first
appearance Of the insect.
Control by Nicotine.
The pest can also be controlled by
nicotine sulphate, one-half pint, 40
per cent solution, in 80 gallons Of wa
ter. with 2 pounds Of soap added,
which is a deterrent. 1t is not pos
sible, however, to control this insect
entirely when It occurs in Its great
est abundance.
In addition, II is desirable to keep
the plants thrifty and well watered.
Mechanical and crop traps can be used
with advantage. Clean culture Is al
ways advisable.

GULL POOR PRODUCING HENS
Work Should Be Started In Summer
and During Early Fall Months-
Comb 10 Indicator.

The hens should be culled out dur
ing the summer and early fall
months, beginning to Gull out the poor
producers just as soon as they stop
laying, which Is usually In July and
August. When a hen is laying her
comb will be large, full Of blood. and
bright red In color. As she stops lay
ing. the comb becomes small and
shrunken, pale or dull In color, and
is usually rather hard. Another good
indication to use In selecting those
hens which stop laying early Is molt-
Ing, as the hens that start to mott
early-that is. In July and August
are usually the poorest producers.
While a hen which has molted most
of her feathers is very easy to pick
out by sight without examination, the
only way to ascertain accurately
when the hens begin to molt Is to ham
die them. Before the body and wing

growing thickly on the back and In
the feather tracts running back from
the breast, indicating that these hens
have started to mott and probably
have stopped laying II their combs
and general appearance indicate nom
production. The pelvic bones are also
helpful In making this test as these
two bones tend to close up when the
hen stops laying. If the spread be-
tween these bones measures two
fingers or less the probability Is that
the hen is not laying. while II the
spread Is greater. together with other
mentioned, she Is probably
laying.

known persons Of the period.
When Vivian Grey reached the ag'
of five years 1t was discovered that the
treatment Of doting mamma ant
overattentive nurses had spoiled the
child, and 1t was decided that he hat
better be sent away to school; wher
however. the subject was under dis
cussion, there was a strenuous protest
from Vivian against curls and going tt
school.

bawled the spoiled youngster, "Charles
Appleyard told me so; his hair curled

But In spite Of these protests he was
sent to school, where he stayed some
four years, when 1t was decided that
he should remain at home for a time
and do his studying there; but he was
later sent of again, this time to the
school of Mr.. Dallas at Burnsley vicar
age.
The rumor Of the arrival Of "a new
fellow" circulated rapidly through the
inmates Of the vicarage, and the fifty
young rascals were preparing to quiz
the newcomer when the schoolroom
door opened and Mr.. Dallas, accom-
panied by Vivian Grey, entered.

The young savages at Burnsley vic
arage had caught Tartar; In very
few days Vivian was decidedly the
most popular fellow In the school; "he
was so dashingl so devilish good-tem-
pered, so completely up to every
thingi"
Vivian developed talents Of a lit
erary nature which inspired great ad-
miration among his fellow pupils, and
also In the mind of Mr.. Dallas.
But there are other attributes which
win win the admiration Of school Of
real boys; and this proved to be the
case at Burnsley vicarage, when. as
so often happens. some of the boys,
Jealous of yivian's popularity. found,
as they thought, an opportunity to
triumph over him. There was trouble
between the followers Of Vivian and
those Of Mallet, the head usher; ks
of the latter made an insulting remark
to Vivian which he promptly resented
and the battle was on. and Vivian
Grey showed that he could fight as
well as write.

At a dinner In his fathers home,
when Vivian was still a very young
man, he made the acquaintance Of the
marques Of Carabas. He came to
the rescue of the marques and his
opinions In an after-dinner discussion,

THREE ASTOUNDING STUNTS
BY TOM MIX IN THE TERROR

Three OF the most remarkable
death-defying stunts ever tried be-
fore the camera will be done by
Tom Mix, the screens daredevil,
in his latest William Fox produc-
tion, "The Terror" which is com

ed TO risk his life in the perform
ance of the stunts Mix determined
to get himself into firstclass physi-
cal condition by training every day
for two weeks previous to the begin
ming of work on the picture.
In this first stunt Mix falls down
upon a wagon pole between two
rear horses Of four-horse coach
during a runaway scene lie was
forced to hang beneath the pole
his body Just few inches above the
roadway--as the horses dashed mad
ly on. Mix hung so low that cam
era following him in an automobile
at breakneck speed could photo
graph him below the bellies of the
horses.
After this scene Mix swung about
to the top side OF the pole, climbed
to the back OF one OF the horses.

had rescued from the outlaws, lift
ed her TO his side and. cutting the
traces, galloped on while the aban-
doned coach went to destruction

The second stunt endangered the
lives Of two, and followed the res
cue Of the girl. Mix had to climb
seventy-five feet up the rope OF a
crane In quarry filled with wat

his horse swept through the room,
