Many women at fifty, and even sixty, keep the grace of well round ed face and figure and the clear rosy complexion and energy of bouyant health while others much younger often look scrawny and emaciated with pale sallow skin, wrinkles and shrunken tissues.

some Facts About Arsenic

Some Facts About Arsenic
 The very name arsenic often frightens people and causes many to avoid using insecticides that contain it. It must be admitted that arsenic is dangerous poison; but you should know that there are various forms of arsenicals used in the manufac- ture of insecticides, that are prac- tically insoluble in water, cannot be taken up by the plant, are easily washed off and thus litle danger can arise from their application to vege- tables that are grown for human or animal consumption.
 Arsenate of lead and arsenate of lime are the two principal forms of arsenic used and recommended for all leaf eating insects.
 The law requires that not over three -fourths of one per cent may be water soluble. Now there are 1000 grains In an avoirdupois pound, so only about 50 grains in an entire pound of water soluble. When one pound is added to 50 gallons of water, you can see that only one grain would be dissolved to the gallon; but if the mixture be stirred up and arsenic suspended, gallon would contain more. of course

Hog Pastures

Many successful hog raisers do not seem to realize just how much green stuff a hog needs or will consume If allowed free range in a desirable pasture. Hog pastures are of two kinds; temporary and permanent, either of which may be planted this month. Where only seasons pas ture Is wanted. a good one may be quickly made available by sowing on well prepared ground four or five pounds of dwarf essex rape mixed with 20 pounds of Sudan grass to the acre.
 If you want to make it permanent, SOW to each acre 10 pounds of or chard grass, five of red top, four alsike clover. five lespedeza, ten Sudan, two of rape. The Sudan and rape will furnish quick grazing. and by the time they become exhausted, the permanent grasses will begin to become large enough to be effective
 If Bermuda is wanted, and it is highly desirable for hog pasture, 1t may be added to the seed mixture at the rate of four to eight pounds to the acre.
