WARM RECEPTION FOR MITES
Kerosene viii Prove Effcaelous In
Keeping Pestiferous Little
Parasites Away.

Hot weather brings the roost mites.
They multiply so fast that the hen
house is soon swarming with them.
The egg yield then drops to almost
nothing.
"The process OF keeping out the
mites Is one of the simplest In poultry
culture" says A. C. Smith, head Of the
poultry division at University farm.
Kerosene will do 1t. II is easily ap-
piled, either by broad fiat paint
brush or spray. The paint brush will
save kerosene, but takes time. The
spray will save time and use kerosene.
Take your choice, but paint or spray
the roosts and supports with kerosene
before the mites put in an appear
ance.
"The morning Is the best time, as
the roosts will be dry and much OF the
odor will have disappeared before the
hens seek the roosts. Repeat every
two weeks during warm weather"

PLAN FOR SUMMER SPRAYING
Than Work in Winter-combl-
nations Save Time.

Summer spraying requires more care
and attention than winter or dormant
spraying because summer sprays must
be applied after the buds or leaves are
started and hence when there is dam
ger OF injuring the foliage. The COM
mon spray for the control of chewing
insects is arsenate of lead, but arse
nate Of calcium is gaining in favor.
Paris green Is still used to some ex.
tent on Irish potatoes and tobacco.
Nicotine sulphate, or tobacco parts,
sometimes called blackleaf, is effective
against plant lice. Bordeaux mixture
is an effective spray when reduced to
summer strength for apples, pears,
grapes and other fruits.
But there are combinations for vari-
GUS fungus diseases and insect pests
that save time and trouble and are
highly recommended by practical or.
chardists and gardeners.

HARD TO STAND MoTIoNLESS
Experiments Have Proved That There
Is Invariably a Certain Sway
ing Of the Body.

In the Journal OF Industrial Hygiene
w. r. Miles describes an investigation
of static equilibrium as test of mo-
tor control. He measured the sway
ing Of the body when a man tries to
stand motionless with the eyes either
open or shut. The apparatus used,
known as an ataxiameter, consists of
an indicator fixed to the head, which,
when 1t moves automatically records
all anterior, posterior or lateral COM
ponents of any sway present.
He found that practice with the ap-
paratus made but little difference in
the capacity to stand steady; that the
amount of sway recorded varied in
versely with the efficiency of the
neuro-muscular mechanism, and that
1t was greater with the eyes shut than
open. The persons with small feet
tend to sway more than short ones
with broader feet, but many more OBJ
servations are needed to establish a
normal for persons differing In stature
and weight.

Wien 1t is decided to use II for this
purpose, the cattle should be put on 1t

BIG IMPORTANCE OF TOMATO
No Single Garden Crop So Easily
Grown-success Depends on Soil
and Cultural Methods.

There is probably no single garden
crop so easily grown, aud at the same
time playing so large part in the win
ter supply OF canned goods, as the
tomato. Therefore, In the face OF the
high prices of canned and uncanned
food stun, more attention should be
given to this valuable crop, to pro-
vide an abundant supply for the home
and local market.
Successful tomato growing is largely
dependent upon judiclous soil selec-
tion fertilizer application, and cultural
methods. The best soil for tomatoes
ls the well drained garden loan soil.

i can't remember her last name, but
her first name is Alice. She said she
lived exactly where she did when she
knew you. She said she hadn't thought
of you once for ten years until some
thing In my face reminded her dis
tinctly of you"
Something in the last remark
brought the color rising to John Lau-
rence's face. "You lie," were words
very near his lips. He, John Lau-
renee, had thought of Alice many,
many times and he could not believe
that his little childhood sweetheart had

PLANT ONLY BEST CORN SEED

Perhaps In no other farm crop Is
there as little excuse for planting poor
seed as In corn. II takes only about
a peck to the acre, and the best OF
seed can be planted with little ex-
pense. When one can secure the re-
suits OF another mans life efforts In

The United States is the largest fur
market and fur-consumlng country in
the world.
Many inquiries concerning fox farm
Ing are sent to the biological survey.
The problems met by fox and otner
fur farmers require, as in the case
OF other live stock, knowledge of
species, temperament, sanitation, dis
eases and parasites. In addition, fur
farmers are handling wild animals In
captivity and not domestic stock. A
knowledge Of pelts, particularly OF
values and market requirements, Is
essential TO success from the business
standpoint, and this ordinarily means
to visit personally warehouses, man.

As breeders cannot always do this,
representatives OF the biological sur
vey are constantly bringing before
them all possible information relating
to the fur Industry In all Its phases.

Investigations show that hotels. res

cans are emptled they are placed on
the doorstep or left In warm room
