SUMMER
EFFECTIVE REMEDY FOR THE POTATO BUGS
Thl Is What Cultivation Doct for P otatoes.
(By W. MILTON KELLY.)
Potato bugs are like interest on a
mortgage; they work days and nights.
When the broods first begin to hatch,
It is the time to act. The only rem-
edy, practical and effective, known at
present, is paris green. This is mixed
with water and scattered on the
plants.
To each barrel of water use seven
pounds of cheap flour and one pound
of paris green. Mix the poison and
fiour in a bucket containing about two
gallons of water and stir until thor-
oughly mixed.
When the whole mixture Is thor-
oughly mixed pour into the barrel of
water on the spraying machine and
keep the contents of the barrel well
stirred while the sprayer is in motion.
The only serious objection to this
mixture is that it tentfs to clog the
screens in the pump. This can be
avoided by having the screens so that
they can be taken out and cleaned In
a short time and the spraying go on
without further interruption. The
operation may seem troublesome at
first, but one spraying kills all the
bugs and it doesn't matter if it rains
within two hours after it is applied.
Dew and rain will not wash it off
and traces of it will remain for two
weeks and continue to destroy all
new hatchings of insects. The flour
forms a paste that catches all the par-
ticles of paris green and in turn ad-
heres to the plant leaves. In a field
sprayed thoroughly in this way a sec-
ond operation is not necessary. The
pump may be put away and the grow-
er rest assured that he is through for
the season.
The sprayer should not be driveu
too fast, but each plant be allowed to
get its full share gf the poison. One
barrel of the mixture should be enougi)
to cover about two acres.
AFTER
This Is the Time to Wage War Against
the Deadly Fly and the An-
noying Mosquito.
T^et us bear in mind that one of
the prime objects of a spring cleanup
Is to eliminate the fly and the mos-
quito. When we are exercising our
muscles and our ingenuity ridding
our dwellings and neighborhoods of
dust and filth, it will be worth our
while to give these twin winged pests
serious attention.
The first spring fly, of course, came
some tim« ago, though she is still
pleasantly modest and retiring. It is
not reassuring, however, to reflect
that the little insect is keeping care-
fully out of our sight and the reach
jf our swatters while she lays a few
myriads of eggs, which presently will
Satch out into a whole flying regiment
jf nuisances and disease-carriers.
The shy and unobtrusive mosquito
Is making the best use of her time
for the same purpose. When the open
jeason on human beings arrives she
hopes to have a whole army corps of
her progeny to lead to the attack.
Now is the time to get busy if we
want to preserve ourselves from the
pests a few months hence. The swat-
ter and the kerosene can are fully as
Important household implements at
this season as the broom and the
scrubbing brush.

RINGWORM ITCHED TERRIBLY
1545 Aisquith St., Baltimore, Md.—
"My children were afilicted with what
they called ringworm of the Bcalp
contracted from a house-cat they were .
playing with. The ringworm formed
on their scalps about the size of a
silver dollar and their hair fell out.
leaving a round Bcale or crust on their i
scalps. Their hair fell out in round I
Bpots. There was terrible itching, and
they scratched till the blood came. ■
They were very fretful and could not j
sleep at night, and they were very j
cross.
"They were treated for several
months with no improvement whatso-
| ever. I was told they would never j
' have any hair and would always be \
j bald. Then I began using Cuticura
! Soap in connection with Cuticura
I Ointment and the first week 1 could
j see the wonderful remedies were do-
ing all they were claimed to do and in
six weeks' time they were entirely
cured. They all have a beautiful
I growth of hair." (Signed) Mrs. Sadie

Comfortable summer quarters for
the growing pullets is one of the fun-
damentals to success in raising prof-
itable poultry, be it on a back lot or
on the farm. The farm however
has the advantage of plenty of room
where houses may be moved about.
One of the best houses we have
ever tried on the farm for summer
use, both from a standpoint of econo-
my of construction and general sat-
isfaction, was an eight by ten one
built of two by fours covered with one-
inch wire netting, with a covering of
burlap over that, says a writer in an
exchange. There are no floors in the
houses, but they are weatherboarded
up around the bottom to a distance of
two feet. Two feet of the entire front
is left open to furnish fresh air. 'lhe
roof is sheathed with half-inch mate-
rial and covered with prepared roof-
ing
Fine is used as the framework.
One two by three at each corner, and
one in the middle of the back and
each end, to set in the front door
where the door is swung. That is all
the studding used. Three rafters and
the necessary plates at the top and
bottom of the walls complete the
amount of frame material used. This
makes a substantial and at the same
time a light house that can be slipped
on a sled and moved from place to
place.
The advantage of having the walls
weatherboarded up a few, feet is not
so much in the protection that it af-
fords as in the strength it gives the
entire structure. It likewise fur-
nishes a place where the lower edge
of the burlap may be fastened so
that it will not become loose.
COWPEAS ARE GOOD
AS EGG PRODUCERS
Hens Seem to Relish Small
Branches and Leaves and
All Small Particles.
It frequently happens that the home
grown seedlings come on quite as
quickly as the greenhouse ones, even
though smaller when placed in the
garden.
Some plants a few inches high, of
the Earliana variety, were set out, and
a little later four excellent greenhouse
specimens were secured.
They were thrifty, large and just
ready to bud; and the prospect of hav-
ing an early treat from them was
most promising. But though extra
precaution was taken against wiltjjig,
one died, and the change from arti-
ficial conditions was a shock from
which the rest recuperated slowly.
Meantime the home grown plants
forged ahead and ripened fruit a week
or two in advance.
Before transplanting any young j
plant it tis wise to let the roots soak
in water several hours. By this means
the pores are full of water and the
plant is much less prone to wilt.
Choose a cloudy day or plant at sun-
set so that the piantlet may have all
possible chance to get righted before
the hot sun strikes it. If it can be
kept from wilting a great advantage
is gained as the growth is not
checked. This may seem a small mat-
ter, but it means a great deal—not
only the saving of a week in the
growing period, but perhaps it avoids
the repairing of lost vigor.
Put a cup of water in each hill be-
fore setting the seedling, firm the
earth about the roots and protect with
leafy twigs or a paper cap if the sun
is hot.—E. V. B.
Dr. Eliot on Education.
Dr. Eliot says: "The practise of
i England and America is literally cen-
! turies behind the precept of the best
| thinkers upon education." Is it not
I humiliating that an American is forced
to make such an admission concern-
| ing our most vital American institu-
; tion.'
j What can be done? How can this
i wasteful school system be speedily
! remedied so that it fills its real func-
tion and sends out into the world,
I boys and girls developed according to
I their individual talents as far as those
| talents permit? It is a big question,
but in my next article, I propose to
outline a rational, practical system of
public education which will serve j
those ends.—Pictorial Review.

TO PREVENT INJURY
BY THE CUTWORMS
Clean Cultural Methods and Ro-
tation of Crops Are Advisa-
ble—Also Fall Plowing.
Cowpeas are not only relished by
hens, but are excellent egg food for
them. One successful poultryman gives
this experience: The peas, after ma-
turing, were harvested and stored in
dry lofts, and thrown to the fowls in
scratching pens, where they were
scratched over and searched for dur-
ing the day.
After a few days the egg supply
i was visibly increased, and within a
few weeks almost doubled that from
an equal number of hens kept in sep-
arate quarters and fed on other grains.
The hens seemed to like the small
branches and leaves, and would eat
every particle except the hard, stiff
stems.
The general health of the flock was
excellent, and not a single hen showed
the least symptom of ailment during
the winter season. Considering tha
ease with which cow-peas may be
raised, it seems that everyone should
give them a test as food for the poul-
try-
When cutworms occur iu serious
abundance, which happens in some
seasons, they migrate from one field
to another, assuming what is called
the army worm habit. While the
methods which have been advised are
valuable in such cases, they are too
slow to destroy all the cutworms, and
we, therefore, have to employ other
methods. These Include trenching,
ditching, the plowing of deep furrows
in advance of the traveling cutworms
to entrap them and the dragging of
logs or pieces of brush through the
furrows If the trenches can be filled
with water, the addition of a small
quantity of kerosene so as to form
a thin scum on the surface will prove
fatal. These remedies are also ap-
plicable to the beet army worm and
species of similar habits.
As a preventive of injury by cut-
worms and army worms, clean cul-
tural methods and rotation of crops
are advisable; also fall plowing and
disking. Cutworms, army worms and
many other ir.Bect pests are destroyed
where it is possible to overflow the
fields.
Kaplan, La.—Mrs. Casamear Burk-
hart, of this town, gives out following
for publication: "I feel that 1 owe my
life to Cardui, the woman's tonic I
was married last April, and was in
fairly good health. Shortly after
marriage my health began to fail, and
for three long months I was threat-
ened with 6erious sickness,
j I passed most of my time in bed,
with a nurse at my bedside. At last,
! I was told an operation was neces-
! sary. 1 was so weak I could retain
I nothing on my stomach but crushed
ice, and w as not even allowed to sit up
in bed.
A friend of mine advised me to use
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and they
got v. bottle for me, as a last resort.
After taking Cardui for one week, I
was able to be up in my room. After
continual use for two months, 1 was
in perfect health, and could do all of
my work without tiring.
I take an occasional dose of Cardui
and Black-Draught now, to keep my
' system in good condition.
Several of my friends are using
Cardui with good results. I am never
without it in the house."

HAD SEVERE HEADACHES
SEVEN YEARS
I had been subject to severe headaches for about seven years. My head would
ache so badly at times that 1 could scarcely stand it. Doc tors seemed to be unable
to give me relief, though I tned several of them, and took many kinds of headache
medicines and tablets. About a month or six weeks ago I tried Hunt s Lightning
Oil which gave me almost instant relief, and I am glad to say that I have been
entirely free from those dreadful headaches since. From my own experience I can
say that Hunt's Lightning Oil is without an equal as a reliever of pain, and I only
vish that I had used it several years ago.-MKS. W. T. DIXON, Sherman, Texas.
