BEST TIME TO CUT C0WPEAS
Most Desirable Quality Of Hay Pro

Grown and Matured.

AS a rule cowpeas should not be
cut for hay before the pods begin to
turn yellow. The best quality is pro-
duced and the hay cures most readily
if the vines are cut when most of the
pods are full grown and consider

lagos in Pennsylvania, West Virginia

is restricted by state quarantine laws.
The disease attacks only the stems and
roots of the tomato plant, causing
small warts; it probably does not re-
duce the yield of fruit.
The importance of the discovery or
the susceptibility of tomatoes to pota-
to wart lies in the fact that affected TO-
mato plants will serve to carry the dis
ease over from year to year in the ab-
sence of potatoes, and to Introduce 1t
into new localities through the trans
planting of tomato seedlings grown in
infested soil. 1t is not yet known defi-
nitely whether all varieties of tomatoes
are susceptible to the wart disease, but
il is feared that such may be the case.
Other plants belonging TO the potato
family are suspected of being suscepti-

been tested. but with incOnclusive re
suits. These tests will be repeated.

Turkey hens do not ordinarily come
off for feed and water more than once
every two or three days. but when
confined they should have a chance TO
come off every day. Occasionally
turkey hen does not come Off at all,
and In such case she should be taken
off once a day, as otherwise she will
die on the nest.
On coming off her nest the first
thing a turkey hen does Is to stretch
her wings, step gingerly for a few
steps. and then she often takes
running start and flies for a short dis
lance. Exercise of this sort helps
greatly to keep a sitting hen In good
condition. and for this reason it Is not
well to confine her to a small space.
A dust bath is greatly enjoyed by sit
ting hens, and helps to keep them
free from vermin. Whole corn Is a

FINDS CURE FOR BLEEDERS
Paris Physician Successful in Treating
Disease With Use of Blood
From the Horse.

"Bleeders,'' as they are called, gen.
orally come of families with a history
of bleeding. Such sufferers are rare
ly cured. But DR.. P. Emile-Weil of
Paris reports in a bulletin of the
Societe Medicale des Hopitaux the sue
cess he has had with his treatment Of
the disease, which is called hemophilia
He relates the case Of a child Of
seven, pronounced bleeder, belong
ing to one of the classic bleeder fami-
lies that have been written up in
medical annals since the Eighteenth
century. He gave the boy an injec-
ton of 20 cubic centimetres Of normal
horse serum-that is, horses blood
with the corpuscles extracted-every
second month until fifteen injections
had been given. The tendency to
hemorrhage seemed to be arrested,
and after seven years there has been
no sign of it's recurrence.
Previous to this Doctor We'll had
treated seven cases Of familiar hemo-
philia with such injections, all of them
successfully, but he never regarded a
case as wholly cured until that of this
boy. But the fact that he has been
free from bleeding for seven years in
dicates at least that this disease is
durable.

ODD BELIEF IN UNISON WEED
Cherokee Indians imagine Child Par
- taking of 1t Will Have Its Men,
DRY Quckened.

The Cherokees have an interesting
superstition about the jimson weed,
which they believe to be endowed with
the occult power Of improving the
memory and inducing stability of char
acter, according to the House Beauti-
full.
When a child is born, jimson weed
is beaten UP and a portion put into
q bowl of water taken from a fall
or cataract where the stream would
make a constant noise. This is Civ
en- to the child to drink on four
successive days, with the intention
of making him quick to learn and
giving, him retentive memory. The
noise Of the cataract is believed to
be the voice of the Yunevi Guna-
hola, the river god, teaching lessons
which the child may understand, while
the stream itself is revered for its
power to seize and hold anything cast
upon its surface.
The name jimson weed, a contrac
ton of Jamestown weed, was be-
slowed upon the plant in Colonial
times because certain soldiers, max
ing its acquaintance for the first
time at Jamestown, Va, ate sprouts OF
1t and consequently became delirious
The seed pods have narcotic effec
and, If eaten in quantities, are very
poisonous, causing fatal stupor.

NATURES WAY WITH PESTS
Another; Each Capable of
Useful Work.

You recall the old nursery rhyme,
"This is the house that Jack built?''
The story Of Natures warfare runs on
very much the same lines. This is
the fox that ate the squirrel that stole
the eggs Of the magpie that killed the
sparrow that devoured the fly that
destroyed the caterpillar that spoilt
the cabbage that grew in the house
that Jack built!
Nature uses one pest to fight another.
Each Of the creatures mentioned is a
pest; yet each is capable Of useful
work.
Moths and butterflies lay hundreds
of eggs at time, so that if nothing
preyed on caterpillars we should soon
have not a single green leaf in the
country. But we must have moths
and butterflies to fertilize flowers. The
chief foe of the caterpillar is the
ichneumon-fy, which lays eggs in him
as he crawls on leaf. These eggs
hatch into grubs and kill the cater
pillar.
The ichneumon-fy is eaten by small
birds which do useful work in this
way, though in other ways they are
pests, for they eat the farmers corn.
They are kept in check by cuckoos,
hawks, crows, and magpies. There
birds of prey, if their growth was I'M
checked, would soon kill all the game
in the country. Squirrels and other
birds keep them down by stealing their
eggs. Squirrels are preyed upon by
foxes, which, as we have no wild
beasts in this country, must be kept
in check by man.

USED ANTS TO FIGHT PESTS
Southern Arabs Employed the Method
$50 Years Ago in Culture of
the Date Palm.

Control Of destructive insects by
the introduction of their natural
enemies has become an important
technique during the last generation,
writes Paul Popence in Science. But
If competent observers are to be
trusted, the southern Arabs employed
the same method more than $50 years
ago in the culture Of the date palm.
In his Relation dun Voyage dams
PYemen" (Paris, 1880, page 1859, P.
e. Botta says:
Il was able to verify the singular
fact previously observed by Forskal,
that the date palms in Yemen are at
tackled by species of ant which would
cause them to perish if each year the
growers did not bring from the noun
tains and fasten in the tops of the
palms branches of a tree that I did
not recognize, which contains the nests
Of another species Of ant which des-
troys that of the date palm"
P. Forskal was the naturalist of c.
Niebuhr's expedition; his work was
published posthumously in 1775. have
not seen his account to which Botta
refers.
1t would be interesting to know
whether the history of economic en-
tomology furnishes any earlier record
of the biological method of pest con-
troll.

Witch Hazel and Witches.

The witching power of the witch
hazel has received a scientific jolt, but
the great mass of Americans, English
and other peoples will never hear of
it, or listen to it. and even though
they should read about it, they will
keep on believing just the same in
the witchery of witch hazel. Old be-
liefs will stand up under any number
OF scientific jolts.
The hazel was bewitched, hence its
name. Witches have always made
their wands out of this early blooming
yellow-fiowered shrub. Whether 1t
has magical qualities because witches
use it, or whether witches use it be-
cause it has magical qualities, cannot
be determined. But If a man needs a
divining rod in order to find hidden
water or buried treasure, he must cut
that divining rod from witch hazel
bush. Mems faith in COLLINS, hobgob.
Inns, spooks, wraiths, ewes, elfins
sprites, fairies, brownies, harpies
nymphs and muses. is no firmer
grounded than it is in witch hazel.

First Mauic Lantern.

Takers in the old days were no less
quick than their present brethren to
take advantage Of scientific discover
les to fool the public. In 1916, one
Athanasius Kircher announced to the
few German scientists of his day that
he had discovered an instrument which
would throw large pictures of any
drawing or painting placed on it, upon
white screen. He wrote quite a
treatise ON this first magic lantern
and called it the "Arm Magma Lucis
ct Umbrae."
From a scientific point of view
Kircher's discovery did not make a
very deep impression. But half a
dozen travelling magicians some
how or other got hold of copies of
the first magic lantern. They trav-
eled far and wide through the coun-
try, and they not only scared the
peasants and small-town peoples out
of their wits, but by making a
speciality of showing pictures of the
devil, of poor souls frying in purga-
tory and other unpleasant subjects.
they collected considerable sums in
return for the promise to keep these
evil spirits out OF the homes Of their
victims.
