New Truths for Old.
Torrey,

It is commonly said that there art
only a limited number of story plots
and the best novelist can hope fol
is to vary an old one little. There
seems to be, not exactly fixed guam,
tity, but still not-rapidly increas
ing quantity, Of ideas. A writer OF
philosopher may try new mixtures
and portions-much as chemist ex
periments with his fixed number OF
elements--but he is not likely actually
to add to the basic supply.
If he has gifts for it, he may take
old truths and polish them up or re
decorate them so as to attract new
attention In the show windows OF
literature. He may draw a big crowd
But the chances are that If he does
1t is not that the passersby are star
tied by what appears as new; they
are lured by observing old friends In
new guise, recognized truths more i'm
pressively displayed. Epigrams are
more often than not, examples Of this
They lodge and stick In peoples minds
partly because what they tell was there
already.--New York Sun.

PLAN FOR SUMMER SPRAYING
More Care and Attention Necessary
Than Work in Winter-combi-
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 dan
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.

WARM RECEPTION FOR MITES
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.
1.-THE process of keeping out the
mites is one Of the simplest In poultry
culture" says A. G. Smith, head Of the
poultry division at University farm.
Kerosene will do it. It is easily APP
piled, either by a broad fiat paint
brush or a 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.
1.-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"

chickens of these times. Cows did not
give much milk In winter; In fact,
most of them were allowed to go dry.
The reason why these cows did not
give much milk was that practically all
the food they consumed was utilized
by their bodies to maintain enough
animal heat to keep them from freez-
ing to death.
1t has been a number OF years since
the animal husbandry experts Of the
United States Department Of Agrlcul-
ture and of the state agricultural col
leges discovered this fact. Since then
there has been great progress In the
science Of housing for farm live stock,
until now the barns, or stables In
which these animals spend their
winters are as well-constructed and
as weather-tight as the homes that
house the farm families. These barns
now keep cows warm and In place
of their feed being consumed to make
warmth 1t is turned into marketable
product-milk. Winter makes very
little difference In milk production
when the cows are housed In warm,
well-ventilated buildings.
In exterior appearance there are
many different types Of barn designs,
one Of which that has become very pop
ular in recent years being the gothic
roof, good example Of which is
shown In the accompanying illustra-
ton. This barn is 20 feet long and 80

SWEET CLOVER FOR PASTURE
All Types Of Plant Make More or Less
Undesirable Hay Because Of
lts coarseness.

Under most conditions sweet clover
can only be used profitably as pasture.
When 1t is decided to use 1t for this
purpose, the cattle should be put on it
and not be allowed other pasture until
they start to eat 1t. This will take a
day or two, after which they will
thrive on 1t. All types Of this plant
make a more or less undesirable hay,
because it is coarse and has compare
lively few leaves. For the best quality
Of hay, 1t should be cut just as 1t starts
