Lead Arsenate Checks
Harmful Cabbage Worms

Lead arsenate. either as dust or
spray. is undoubtedly the most effec-
tive poison for controlling the cabbage
worm. For spraying, mix one ounce
of powder with two gallons of water.
The water should be soft. as the cab
bage leaf has waXy surface and the
hard water mixture will roll off in
small globules. Laundry soap added
to the water will help. also. 1t causes
the mixture to spread out and stick.
busting should be done early in the
morning when the dew is on the
plants. The dust sticks then and acts
as a spray. AS long as common sense
is used there is no danger from eating
cabbage treated with the lead arsen-
ate. The outside leaves are not good
food, anyway. and are always peeled
off.

Parasites Harm
All Live Stock
Pests Are Tenacious of Life
and Able to Withstand
Many Attacks.

Ii 1t were possible to magnify pas
ture several hundred or thousand fold
and all the parasites in the same pro-
p0rtion-so that blades of grass would
appear as tall bamboOs and small for
age plants as great jungle trees. it
would be easier to convince live stock
growers of the desirability of careful
attention to sanitation and of the i'm
portance of constant watchfulness in
combating the ravages of parasites
that live in the pasture and attack the
various kinds of live stock.
Parasites Are Tenacious of Life.
Such magnified pasture would
stand revealed as place of life-and
of death. Many of the live stock par
asites are tenacious of life and are
able to withstand the most unfavor-
able conditions. Yet the great pro-
Ing the opportunity to attack an an
imal. However. many of these par
asites have powers of reproduction
and multiplication that seem mar
velous. Many live through compli-
Gated life cycles and may have one
or more intermediate hosts 'on which
they live between their attacks ON
horses, cattle, sheep. or swine.
Pests Seem Sluggish.
Unlike the jungle hunters. many Of
the pests in this magnified pasture
would seem sluggish and inert--bare-
ly alive. perhaps. The stomach worm
that infests the sheep, for example,
energies from the ground and finds a
resting place in tiny curl in blade
of grass. There it remains while the
grass develops. If no sheep bites off
the grass the stomach worm in time
dies. If a sheep crops the grass, the
stomach worm enters and becomes ac-
tive within the sleeps stomach, joins
with other stomach worms and preyS
on the sheep, which is likely to be-
come unthrifty and improbable.
Fortunately for the live stock grow
ers. most of these parasites are able
to live and reproduce only, when they
are able to attack domestic animals of
the same or closely related species.
The danger from parasite-infested pas
lures is by no means so great If it is
possible to use this years horse pas
ture for cattle or sheep next year and
for hogs the third.

MOST TORNADOES
NOT DANGEROUS
Motorist Should Drive Car
North or South.

In spite of their ferocity. tornadoes
offer little peril to motor tourists If
four general rules are kept in mind
and obeyed when a twister is sighted.
points out the touring bureau of the
Chicago Motor club.
"Inasmuch as nearly all tornadoes
move in generally easterly direction,
the car should be driven north or
south. out Of its path" the bureau
stated in bulletin. zone should be
careful, however, not to drive into q
second one.
Get Into Cyclone Cellar.
"If the car is disabled. get into
cyclone cellar, if one is near. Failing
in both of those plans, take. refuge in
the cellar of frame house, on the
side nearest the storm. Should the
house topple, the debris will be blown
away from you. If there is no other
recourse than to face the storm in
the open, lie fiat on the ground. or
preferably in a ditch some distance
from trees or poles. Shield your head
with seat cushions"
\ Tornadoes are, the bureau ex-
planned, travelling whirlwinds. Their
destructive area at any one moment
is not greater, on the average. than
two or three square city blocks. While
the rate of whirl at its axis may be
three or four hundred miles per hour.
1t seldom travels across the country
faster than sixty miles per hour.
Tornadoes Move Northeast.
Most tornadoes move toward the
northeast, while few travel toward
the southeast. The chances are about
fifty to one that the direction in which
1t is seen to be moving is the one
which, with but slight variations, it
will pursue until it dies out.

Controlled Lights Are
Favored for All Storms

Controlled lighting offers the most
satisfactory solution of the difficulties
of driving through fog or snow and
transforms.
Fog generally hangs just above the
ground and lighting equipment which
can be adjusted to get underneath the
fog for short distance ahead of the
car so that the driver may see the
edge of the road is the most desirable.
A road light, attached below the front
bumper, is effective: Dimming equip
ment which tits the beams of the
headlights downward have an advan!
tage over some other types of dim
mers.
Comfortable spotlights or search
lights which can be trained on the
edge of the roadway are desirable
equipment for driving under these con-
ditions. Fog continues to be hazard
GUS and calls for unusual caution on
the part of the motorist, just as 1t
continues to trouble the airplane pilot
and the sailor.
In the same way controllable light
ing equipment is best for driving in
heavy snow and rain, from the stand
point of path illumination.
In inclement weather accidents are
fewer in proportion to the hazards in
volved than they are on bright, clear,
and dry nights, because drivers natu-
rally use extreme caution.

Small Gas Engine Most
Versatile Farm Worker

Some one has said that the small
gas engine will do practically any
thing a hired man con do except take
the hired girl to town on Saturday
night. In fact, a gas engine is one of
the most versatile choreboys on the
farm.
At least 90 or % farm jobs can be
done with gas engine power, for only
a few cents per hour of work. gas
engine will eliminate the drudgery OF
operating a washing machine by hand.
It will pump the water, drive the
water system or operate the farm light
plant. Other common jobs are grind
ing feed. saving wood. operating the
grain elevator, running the grind
stone, mixing concrete and many more.

Repairing Poor Idling
