HERE is IDEAL PHILOSOPHER
Happy Man Gets Rid of Trouble by
the Simple Process of Burning
Them Up.

"By George, but this is fine day ~
exclaimed one man as he met another
on the street.
Eyes, so it IS" was agreed. "You
are looking very happy this morning. "
Happy? haven't been so happy in
three MONTHS
"What has occasioned your happi-
ness?" was asked.
when my mail came in an hour ago
II brought to me coal bill, bill from
the grocer, a letter from my landlord
raising my rent, and doctors bill two
years old. Also notice that my taxes
had not been paid and a gas and cleo
trio light BILL"
at was enough to fairly crush one
and can't see how you can be happy"
"Why, it is very simple thing. All
I had to do was TO put the bills in the
fire, and forget all about their arrival.
Yes, sir, it is a mighty pleasant day.
When you have trouble on your mind
the best way is to burn it up."-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

ADDING INSULT TO INJURY
Still, 1t Must Be Admitted That Thief
Had Logic of Matter on
His Side

A man was charged in Glasgow with
stealing a herring-barrel. After the
charge had been proved the accuser
addressed the magistrate:
"'Deed, Sir Bailie, the man at the
bar is great rogue; the stealing o.
the barrel is nothing to some of his
tricks. He stole my sign-board last
week, and what does your honor think
he did with it,
"That would be hard for me to say"
replied the magistrate.
''Weel, SIR" said the witness. "Tll

shop, wi my ain name on it, an offered
to sell it to me, as he said he thoughr

several forms of leaf-beetles and flea
beetles, plant-lice, thrips, blister
beetles, and others. When abundant,
some of these pests do great damage,
sweeping over large areas and ruin
ing entire crops before they can be
stopped.
CutWorms.
Tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and other
truck plants, particularly when started
under glass. are likely to be injured
These appear in great numbers in
the spring and early summer, and
the injury is often complete before
the gardener notices it. The chief in
jury is due to the severing of the
stems of young plants at about the
surface of the ground One cutworm
can destroy many plants in a single
night by cutting off more than it can
devour.
ControI.-The best remedy is what
is called poisoned bait" For use in
small garden take 1 peck of dry
bran, add ounces of white arsenic
or Paris green, and mix thoroughly
with gallons of water in which has
been stirred half gallon of sorghum
or other cheap molasses.
For a large garden, use busheI of
bran to 1 pound of the arsenical mixed
with s gallons of water containing
half a gallon of molasses. This is
enough for treating 4 or 5 acres of
cultivated crops.
After the mash has stood for several
hours, scatter it in Jumps the size
of marble over the garden where
the injury is beginning to appear and
about the bases Of the plants set out.
Apply late in the day so as to place
the poison about the plants before
night, which is the time when cut
worms are active. Apply a second or
third time if necessary.
1t is advisable to keep young chill
dren, live stock, and chickens away
from this bait.
Clean cultural methods and crop
rotation are advisable, as are also

prepared by the United States Department

From the standpoint of their food
plants, injurious insects may be
grouped roughly into two classes:
First, those which are choice feeders
and ordinarily attack only a single
crop, or crops of a single class, al
though when they are extremely
abundant they may resort to other
crops or weeds. Examples are the
asparagus beetles and asparagus
miner and the large tomato worms,
which contine their feeding to plants
of single family. Second, those
known as general feeders-insects
which are not particular as to their
food plants. Some of these devour
nearly every form Of vegetable that
grows in the garden. These include
cutworms and other caterpillars,

They feed by sucking juices of the
plants through a beak. Familiar ex-
amples are the melon aphis, pea aphis,
and cabbage plant-lice.
controI.-If the plants are grown
under glass, plant-lice may be killed
by fumigation with a nicotine prepare

is paper soaked in nicotine which when
lighted causes a smudge. Sprinkling
plants with fine tobacco dust is of
some value, especially If applied early
