"Every time I sit down to n Juicy
steak now I give thanks to Tanlac
for taking me off that milk and uiush
diet I had to live on for a year," said
Joseph R. Towns, the well-known and
popular proprietor of the Sanitary
Meat Market, of Marshall, Mich.
"I had stomach trouble of the
worst sort and was going down hill
no fast I thought I would hnve to give
up my business. I was so nervous
und worried I dreaded to see night
come, as It meant little for me and
then ,in the morning I wns so fagged
out I dreaded to go to my market.
"The money I spent for Tanlac was
the best Investment I ever made. I
never dreamed a medicine could do
the work It did for me. Three bottles
was all I needed to make me as sound
as a dollar. I never felt better or
more like working In my life than I do
right now. I eat anything 1 want, my
stomach Is in good shape and I ain
brimful of energy. I sleep ail night
without turning over and get up in
the morning as happy ns a boy.
"Not only hns Tanlac made me feel
fit and fine, but I have also gained
twenty-flve pounds In weight. If any-
body wants to know more about what
I think of Tanlac, let them come to
me and I will be glad to tell them.
It certainly hasn't an equal."
Tanlac Is sold by leading druggists
everywhere.—Advertisement.

Gardeners are warned by specialists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture to prepare to combat the
"little enemies of the garden." In-
sects of various kinds are making their
appearance in vast numbers In gar-
dens in all parts of the country, and if
left undisturbed will defeat the gar-
dener's best efforts and lay waste the
vegetable crops. This Is the open sea-
son for Insects and there are no laws
which limit the number which may be
killed. The department specialists
urge the use of the spray pump and
dusting bag for the frequent applica-
tion of poisons in order to destroy
the pests before they destroy the gar-
den. Early efforts in lighting insects
are most effective.
Little Bugs With Big Appetites.
In most localities tlie Colorado or
"hard-shell" potato beetles are indus-
triously depositing clusters of small
yellowish eggs 011 the underside of the
potato leaves. In a few days these
batch into little red, soft-shelled slugs
or "soft-shells," as they are often
called, that have most wonderful ap-
petltles, and unless poisons are ap-
plied they will soon strip the potato
plants of their leaves.
Perhaps there is no class of garden
Insects the method of attack of which
is so insidious as that of the plant
lice or aphids.
At first a very few lice may lie found
hidden 011 the under side of the leaves
of melons, peas, cabbage, and other
vegetables. A little later the leaves be-
gin to curl up and 10 lose their color,
and hn examination will show
the "lice" which the ants carried out
have became grandmothers, and the
under side of the leaves will lie lit-
erally alive with them, feasting on the
juices of the plants. At this stage
something must be done quickly, for
within a few days there will lie
I another generation or brood at work.

Due largely to the intermediary ef-
forts of the United States Department
of Agriculture, 2,4(10 acres of purple
vetch Is reported as being grown this
year for seed In northwestern Califor-
nia for use In the orchards of the
southern part of the state, where it
hns proven a superior green-manure
crop. The superiority of purple vetch
in California for green manure lies In
the fact that It makes more growth
during the winter months and can be
turned under earlier than other legume
crops.
Purple vetch was first brought to
this country from Italy in lffl>9 and Its
advantages have been appreciated fur

a number of years, hut It was not pos-
sible to Introduce it extensively be-
cause of scarcity of seed. In the re-
gion where it was most valuable it h;is
that not been feasible to raise purple vetch
in large quantities because of climatic
conditions. In the North, on the
other hand, the seed can be grown suc-
cessfully, but there the purple vetch
is not In as great favor for forage
us common vetch, which is hardier and
has become established in popularity.
To make a bridge between the two

preparation I it was first necessary to demonstrate
must be used that will not Injure the [ the value of purple vetch in tlic
j South, and afterwards to induce north-
ern farmers to substitute it to some
extent for their customary crops. This
latter was difficult, because purple
vetch was not quoted ill the market,
and also because, where a sale was ef-
fected. farmers were tempted to sell
their entire stock, reserving 110 seed
to maintain or extend the acreage.
The assistance of a large California
fruit growers' association was enlisted,
and last year 500 acres were grown
under guarantee, a largej portion of
the yield being kept for seed. This
year northwestern California and Ore-
gon farmers will receive 14cents a
pound for purple vetch seed, which
should give tlieui from $ 1 50 to $200
per acre I11 addition to the straw. From
now on it is expected sufficient seed
will be available for all needs.

Insects Do Not Thrive In This Garden,
but the Crops Do.
plants but which will kill the "lice."
The most common of these contact
poisons is nicotine sulphate—a tobac-
co extract—made of tobacco refuse
from factories. This Is a poison and,
to be effective in killing the "lice"
without injuring the plants, must be
used exactly according to the direc-
tions given on the container. United
I States Department of Agriculture
Farmers' Bulletin 856, on the control
of garden diseases and insects, has
the following to say regarding the use
of nicotine sulphate:
"i'or small garden plats one tea-
spoonful of nicotine sulphate should
be used to one gallon of water, to
which a one-inch cube of hard soap
should be added and thoroughly mixed.
If a larger quantity Is desired, use one
tluid ounce to eight gallons of water,
with the addition of one-half pound of
soap. Full directions are given on the
covers of packuges, and instructions
accompany them.
Effective Application of Spray.
"In the use of nicotine sulphate the
effective application of the spray is of
the utmost Importance, since it Is pri-
marily upon tills 'bat the success or
failure of the treatment depends. If
the liquid has stood for any length of
time it should be agitated thoroughly
before use. The Insects themselves
must receive a thorough coat of the
spray or they will not be killed, and
Immediate inspection after spraying
should show the foliage occupied by
the insects to be completely wet.
"Spraying should be done as early
as possible, always on the ftrst appear-
ance of the insect, not only because
it Is good practice to keep the plunts
free from ix-sts but because more thor-
ough work can be done on small plants."
The main point Is to start the tight

VALUE OF UNDRAWN POULTRY
Experiments Conducted by Department
of Agriculture Show Birds Spoil
Less Quickly.
Puultrymen still discuss the rela-
tive merits ,of drawn and undrawn
poultry. I'ractice varies in different
communities. Opening the body un-
doubtedly exposes the Internal surface
to the air which always contains ml.
cro-organlsms, and thus may hasten
decomposition; but it should be re-
membered also that the viscera decom-
pose more rapidly than other parts of
the body, and if left they may taint
or Infect the rest of the bird.
In elaborate experiments with
drawn, partly drawn, and undrawn
poultry, conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture, It
was found that undrawn birds spoil
least quickly, and partly drawn ones
less quickly than the fully drawn ones
from which, not only the viscera, but
also the heads and feet, have baen re-
moved.
