From the time the earliest seed Is
put Into tlie ground to the harvesting
of the lust crop, every home vegetable
garden may be expected to suffer
from the attacks of the army of In-
sects pests which annually creep from
their whiter quarters, hungry from
their long fast, to fatten on the care-
fully nurtured seedlings, riddle the
grown plants, and multiply to count-
less thousands during the days of mid-
summer. Tlie careful and far-sighted
gardener mny most readily demon-
strate Ills skill through the adoption
and correct application of the rem-
edies best designed to control this
horde.

Considerable Damage Done to Veg«-
tables Stored in Ground in East-
ern States—Pests Can Be
Destroyed By Trapping.

(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
Pine mice, which usually follow
moles In their tunneling and burrow-
ing through the soli, have Inflicted con-
siderable damage recently in Virginia,
Maryland and other eastern states, es-
pecially to vegetables stored In the
ground and to early sown garden seed.
The mole often gets the blame for ras-
culity which Is wrought by the field
mouse. Moles live chiefly on worms
and Insects and do not destroy seeds
of vegetables, while field mice gain
a living from stealing seed and root
crops.
These pests can be destroyed by
trapping on small areas where the In-
festation is not extensive and where It
Is undesirable to put out poison.
Twelve to 20 traps an acre may he
used. The tunnels of the pine mouse
should he excavuted sufficiently to
admit the trap on a level with the bot-
tom, a gurden trowel being used for
digging.
Where mice are abundant on large
areas poisoned bait should be dis-
tributed In teaspoonful quantities In
the mouse runs and at the entrance of
burrows. A mixture containing one
ounce of powdered strychnine, one
once of powdered bicarbonate of soda,
and one-eighth ounce of saccharine
Should he sifted from a perforated tin
box over 50 pounds of crushed wheat,
or 40 pounds of crushed oats, mixing
the grain constantly so that the poison
will he uniformly distributed. This
dry mixture mny be kept Indefinitely
without danger of fermentation.
Where It is necessary to use whole
oats, the poison must penetrate the
kernels, because mice hull the oats
before eating them. Hence It Is es-
sential to dissolve one ounce of strych-
nia sulphate In two quarts of boiling
water.

Is likely to he found. The mature or
“hardshell” beetles which have spent
the winter safely hurled In the ground,
begin to come out about the time
when the plants nre a few inches
high. First they hungrily devour a
part of the young and tender foliage,
after which they begin to deposit, on
tlie undersides of the leaves, their
clusters of orange-colored eggs, of
which a thousand or more mny be
laid by a single female. Effective work
may he done at this time by hand-
picking the beetles from the plants
Into a can of water, with a little kero-
sene over the surface. The eggs mny
lie crushed between the thumb and
finger.
Care at this stage will prevent the
appearance of the fat, shiny red
larvae or “slugs," which are much
more destructive than the beetles, fre-
quently stripping the plant entirely
If left without attention. When first
hatched, these feed In groups, hut ns
they grow larger, they spread over the
plant. When growth Is completed,
they descend to the ground, Into
which they burrow to a depth of sev-
eral Inches. When in the course of n
few’ days they again emerge, they
have taken the form of parent beetles.
The Colorado potato beetle Is one
of tho pests mosr easily controlled. It

LITTLE DAMAGE DONE BEES
No Particular Harm Will Result In
Spraying Apple Trees With Lime-
Sulphur Solution.
According to Prof. H. A. Surface,
Pennsylvania zoologist, little damage
will result to bees In spraying apple
trees with lime-sulphur when the blos-
soms nre open. It has been found that
bees do not like to feed upon flowers
covered with lime-sulphur. Observation
then would Indicate that there Is lit-
tle danger to bees from such spraying.
feeds readily on poisoned foliage, and
the well-known treatments of spray-
ing or dusting with arsenate of lend
or parts green should he fnmilinr to
every grower. The spray mixture may
be prepared in small quantities by
mixing two-thirds of an ounce, or ten
level teaspoonfuls of powdered nr-
senute of lend with a gallon of water.
This should he applied with n spray-
er capable of throwing a fine, misty
spray. A good atomizer will do ef-
fective work on a small scale, at a
cost of a dollar or less. The upper
surfaces of the leaves should be well
covered by the spray. A simple meth-
od of dusting Is to mix thoroughly the
same quantity of powdered arsenate
of lead or a heaping tablespoonful of
parls green with a quart of air-slaked
Ume or lime plaster. Dust this over
the plants by stinking through a
cheesecloth hag.
TROUBLE WITH YOUNG LAMBS APPLYING A SUMMER SPRAY
Sun. We expect
to be cheered up.
We have all been
tnklng a good
rest and we're a
little tired of
resting.
"We’d like to
be brightened up
and you’re the
one to brighten
us up, Mr. Sun,”
they said.
“Y o u flatter
me,” said Mr.
Sun.
“Ah, but we
don’t,” suid the
Sun Fairies.
“But you do.”
persisted Mr. Sun, “you surely do.”
“How can we flatter you,” the Sun
Fairies asked, “when you are the
brightest thing? Now, aren’t you real-
ly?”
"Well, I suppose I must admit 1
am a little hit bright, though I do
hute to do so," said Mr. Sun.
“Tell us a story.” they all urged.
“What shall I tell you about?” ask-
ed Mr. Sun.
"Anything nt all," they said.
“That's both easy and difficult,”
said Mr. Sun.
“What do you mean?” the Sun
Fulrles asked.
“It’s easy because I can pick out
anything and it will please you ns a
story, and yet It is difficult because
Instead of knowing Just what I am
to start out and tell you about I have
to think up a story and Its title, Its
beginning and Its ending.”
“Not very hard for the bright Mr.
Sun,” the Sun Fairies said.
“Now,” Mr. Sun snld, “I may be
bright In shining but I’m not so
bright In story telling.”
“Nonsense, you’re only modest,”
the Sun Fairies said. “Pray begin
your story.”
“I will tell you,” said Mr. Sun, “of
the story the King of the Clouds told
after luncheon the other day. You
know I have been visiting for some
time and haven’t been shining. I’ve
been tnklng a rest and one of my
resting days I lmd a luncheon engage-
ment with the King of the Clouds.”
“We’ve been resting too,” said the
Sun Fairies, “and we know that day
you had lunch with the King of the
Clouds for you were not quite sure
whether you would shine and he
wasn’t quite sure whether It would
rain and we weren’t quite sure wheth-
er we would come out or not."
“That was the day,” said Mr. Sun.
“The King of the Clouds snld that
lie didn’t know whether the story was
true or not but anyway he said It wms
an old, old story of the Cloud people
and that Nurse Fog often told it to
the little raindrops and the Mist
grandchildren.
"It seems that years and years and
years ago the sun used to shine each
day. Every day I would be bright, as
bright ns bright could be. It’s so long
ago that I can’t quite remember
whether It Is u true story or not
myself.
"Of course there were some who
didn’t agree. Some said they would
like every day to be beautiful and
sunny, but the great majority of
people said:
“ ‘Nonsense, unless we have rainy
days we won’t be able to appreciate
and enjoy the sunny days. It would
be like having sugnr nnd candy and
Ice cream all the time in the chil-
dren’s world.
Smart shops that specialize In nov-
elties are devoting much space to the
display of new, beaded bags and there
Is sufficient variety In their shm>e and
her of delightful color schemes with
these bags.
The miser’s purse has a deep fringe
of steel beads at one end and a heavy
tassel of the same beads at the other
end. It is seldom that both ends are
finished alike in the newest effects.
FALL SKIRTS ALSO NARROW
White Scours Is Caused by Digestive
Disorders—Milk of Magnesia
Will Hetp Cure.
White scours in lambs Is caused by
digestive disorders. Lambs with this
trouble should be taken away from
their mothers and allowed only a lit-
tle milk. A tablespoonful of milk of
magnesia will help cure tho trouble.
Milk the udder out before letting u
lamb nurse.
RIGHT PLACE FOR MATERIAL
Not Advisable to Keep All Sizes of
Bolts and Screws in Single
Receptacle.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
Tools and materials should he kept
In their proper places. Do not keep
nil sizes of bolts or screws mixed to-
gether In a single receptacle, but fit
(lip suitable boxes or bins, so that the
supplies may be accessible on short
notice.
Work Should Be Performed With Noz-
zle Giving Good Mist With the
Pressure Used.
The summer spray should be ap-
plied with a nozzle giving a good mist
with the pressure used. At the time
of application of the petnl-fall spray,
the calyx stands with the open part
up, and the spray must be delivered
from above. The object of the petal-
fall spray Is to fill the calyx cup fuH
of polBon.
Ice to Cool Cream.
Under general conditions about one
pound of ice will he required to cool
and keep one pound of cream in good
condition until delivered to the cream-
ery, when deliveries are made three
times a week.
Cultivation of Beano.
Never cultivate beans while the fo-
liage Is wet with dew or fog, but work
them between the rows with a hoe or
hand cultivator at least once h week
after they ure three Inches high.
Advance Models From Paris Follow
Spring Style, Despite the Rul-
ing In America.
Already a little foreword regarding
fall styles has come from Paris. The
skirts of these advance models are as
| narrow as those of the present season
! and fully ns short as the skirts Paris
approved for spring In opposition to
the American ruling for long skirts.
The coats of the models now being
offered ns a suggestion for the first
fall style development show a decided
tendency to run to short-walsted ef-
fects. This may be an indication that
the empire waistline Is to be favored
In much of the apparel shown for
fall and winter. This Is, however,
pure guesswork, ns the dresses that
have come over from the other side
with these shortwalsted suits are not
on empire lines, nnd all the separate
coats shown have normal waistline,
belted loosely.
Miser's Purse With Steel Beads.
coloring to mnke them Intensely Inter-
esting. Everything that can be made
with beads Is exceedingly smart this
season. Women who never thought
that they would have the patience to
attempt them nre making beaded bags.
Two pretty novelties are shown here.
One Is a large nffalr In blue and tan
heads sewed on In tiny squares. The
handle Is entirely of blue bends. Each
square mensures one-fourth Inch high
by one-half Inch wide and each square
requires from 32 to 30 beads.
Many of the handsomest bags are
so expensive that It Is far more eco-
nomical to mnke them at home. To
develop a design In the beads these
may be sewed singly, a back stitch
taken with each bead. Another way
Is to string the beads on a strong
thread, then couch down the string,
taking stitches between the beads.

Certainly women are wondering
about fall headgear. This hat, a new
creation for the coming season, Is of
navy and white taffeta. It is very be-

TOPS OF UNBLEACHED MUSLIN
Spreads Are Delightfully Easy to
Make and Are Both Decorative
and Artistic.
This Is the time for some lovely un-
bleached muslin spreads. They are de-
lightfully easy to make and ever so
artistic. Mnke a square of the muslin
(sometimes It is possible to get it
wide enough to fashion the entire cov-
er without piecing), and border the
square with a three-inch band of col-
ored chnmbruy (rose or blue would be
pretty), nnd then place a motif of the
ehambray In the center—It matters
not how simple It is, though you can
make It as handsome us you please.
Floral designs are (he best, and you
will be surprised what pretty flowers
you can 'yourself draw for the pur-
pose. Pencil them upon the center of
the spread, or, better yet, pencil them
upon paper nnd cut them out. Then
place the paper design upon the
spread and draw a pencil line about
the edges, thus transferring the pat-
tern to the muslin. Next proceed to
place the pnper designs over the color-
ed ehambray and cut out the chara-
bray accordingly, except that the
ehambray should extend a good eighth
of an inch beyond the pnper patterns,
for turning in. Next place the center
of (jie cutout cliambrny designs to the
center of the penciled designs and
plnce a pin In the center to hold them
together. Proceed to turn In the edges
of the ehambray to exactly lit within
the designs penciled upon the muslin
und baste them down.
Next applique the ehambray per-
manently to the muslin by nn outline
stitch of silk or mercerized cotton the
color of the ehambray. It Is a pretty
Idea, If the design consists of flowers,
to make center of French knots In a
contrasting color. The stems should
be dono In nn outline stitch of green,
unless some other color fits better In*
to the scheme.
