Barriers Of various kinds are one OF
the most effective ways Of controlling
chinch bugs at wheat harvest time
when they migrate from the smaller
grain fields to the rOw-cr0p fields.
Countless millions of the bugs may
often be destroyed also by using ntcO-

There are three periods, the bull
letin states, when chinch bugs may
be destroyed most effectively: In No
vember and December, by burning or
plowing down their hibernatirg places;
in May and June, by spraying in wheat
fields with Oil-emulsion nicotine sui
phate, and trapping in barriers, follow
ing by spraying in marginal rows OF
corn, If necessary; and in September,
by plowing corn stubble deeply before
the bugs have gone to winter cover.
Chlnch bugs spend the winter large
ly in bluestem and other bunch grasses
in pastures neglected fields, roadsides,
sunny hill slopes, and similar uncult-
vated places. These should be burned
over in November and December, and
unused areas kept as clean as posi-
Bile. The bugs leave their winter quar-
tiers in early spring, migrating to fields
Of wheat, oats, and other small grain
until it Is nearly ripe and then at
tacking the corn and other row crops.
Trap strips of millet, oats or rye
should be placed between the winter
quarters of the chinch bugs anki the
nearest fields of small grain.

observed definitely. Some said, after
ward, that 1t was premOnitl0n Of
the terrible event that was to happen
this night. Wrong! 1t was because,
for the first time In many generations,
the Comus ball was held In one Of the
newer public buildings instead of in
its accustomed place. Everyone was
speaking Of 1t. Even Maillard the
banker, that cold man of dollars, spoke
uneasily Of 1t when GramOnt encoun-
tered him in the smoking room.
ut doesn't seem like Comus," said
Mailard, with a vexed frown. "And
to think that we had just finished re-
decorating the opera house when II
was burned down! Comus will never
be the same again."
81 didn't know you could feel such
emotion for a ruined building, Mall
lard" said GramOnt, lightly. The
banker shrugged trife.
Emotion? No. Regret! None Of
us, who has been brought up In th'
traditions of the city, but regarded
the French Opera house as the center
of all our storied life. You can't un
derstand it, Gramont; no outsider

Gramont answered In the negative

1t was not long before he came t
comprehend more fully just what tn
loss of the old French Opera hous
meant to the assembly. He heard CON
parisons made on every hand, regret
full illusions, sighs for the days tina
we're no more.
This present building, to be SURF

tlons Cause Loss.

The big bottle flies are abundant in
warm weather. There are several
kinds Of flies that infest wounds on
animals, and all of them breed in de-
caylng animal matter. The bureau of
entomology tells us that If all dead
animals could be disposed of properly,
no cases of lnfestation Of living ami
mails would occur.
A wound on fine bird often causes
death because Of the depredations Of
these flies. 1t Is not unusual for q
bird to be in bad shape before the
owner knows 1t is hurt. The only safe
way Is to burn dead animals, and dis
infect a wound promptly. Timber

turned away without further speech.

most popular breeds Of geese In this
country, the first two greatly leading
the other breeds. All utility breeds
Of geese are kept primarily for the
production of flesh AMI feathers; and
although their eggs are occasionally
used for culinary purposes on the
farm, thore Is no demand for them
for food purposes in the markets.
The Toulouse, the largest OF the
standard breeds Of geese, Is a good
layer, producing from 20 to ~ eggs a
year, Is dOcile, grows rapidly, and
makes a good market bird. However,
Its dark plnfeathers make 1t slightly
less attractive market goose than the
Emden.
The Emdcn, a large white goose,
slightly smaller and with somewhat
longer legs than the Toulouse, is only
a fair layer and Is usually less pro-
llhc than the Toulouse. This breed
has white plnfeathers, Is a rapid grow.

The African, gray goose with
distinct brown shade, about the size
Of the Emden, is a good layer and
makes a good market goose, although
It has the Objectionable dark pinfeath.

There are two standard varieties Of
Chinese geese, the Brown and the
White. Both varieties mature early
and are said to be prolific layers and
rapid growers, but shy and rather diff

Another cheese cracker which Is not

stalks of white celery.
Rice a la Creme.-Wash one-half

a little salt. Dissolve one tablespoon
full of gelatin in a little water, add to

LEADING BREEDS or
GEESE FOR MARKET
Toulouse and Emden Are Most
Popular in This Country.
All Utility Breeds Are Kept for Pro-
duction Of Flesh and Feathers
African Is Rapid Grower and
Natures Early.

Six breeds Of geese have been ad-
mitted to the American standard OF
perfection, namely, Toulouse, Emden,
Chinese, African, Wild or Canadian
and Egyptian. In addition to the
standard breeds there is the so-called
mongrel goose, which is a hybrid made
by crossing one Of these varieties, or
tie common goose, with wild geese.
Crosses Of the varieties Of geese, es-
pcc,ally of the Toulouse and Emden,
are occasionally made, but without any
apparent gain. The Toulouse, Emden,

PROTEIN IN ORCHARD GRASS
Plant Endures Hot Weather Better
Than Timothy and Seems to
Thrive In Shade.

Orchard grass is a standard grass
which endures hot weather better
than timothy and also seems to thrive
better than most other kinds in par
tlal shade, The Objectionable features
are its bunchy habit of growth and
the tendency Of the hay It makes to
become woody when cut a trihe late.
Early harvested orchard grass is good,
and carries a little more protein than
timothy hay.

PROFITABLE POTATO SPRAYS
Where Blight ls Prevalent Fifty to
One Hundred Bushels Increase

Potato spraying can be made profit

Where blight is prevalent, fifty to one
hundred bushels per acre increase
may be expected from proper spray
ing, and even In the absence OF blight
twenty-five to forty per cent increase

Capons will produce fifty per cent

than will cockerels. More than that,
the meat will be of finer flavor; 1t
will be produced at a lower cost, due
to ease Of fattenlng, better endurance
