GREAT VALUE OF THE
Cheap and convenient mixing
Farmers gardeners and fruit grow-
ers can not fence out the many forms
f insects and fungi which live upon
their crops and which are as anxious
for a harvest as Is the grower It Is
a fight between the grower and the
pest and the latter has generally had
the test of the battle The farmer
has not been properly equipped He
has often had Invisible foes— foes
which he did not understand hence
could not assail them and the gen-
eral result has been that the Insect
or the fungus obtained an ample sup-
ply of nourishment and the grower
has taken what was left but thanks
to science be need suffer In igno-
rance no longer

A study of the investigations and
experiments which have placed In the
hands of the Intelligent grower ef-
fective methods of warfare is as in-
teresting as it is Important It re-
veals an educational movement which
stands unparalleled In the effect It
has had in broadening the horizon of
the agriculturist It has forced him
to see that there Is more in his busi-
ness than following the rule-of-thumb
process so long In vogue It has em-
phasized the power of knowledge and
It has demonstrated and Is dally Im-
pressing the fact upon all who take
tho trouble to Bee that It requires
more brains than brawn to succeed in
an occupation at which formerly even
the most Ignorant could be at least
fairly successful The ignorant are

Bordeaux Mixture Perfected'
For the purpose of answering brief-
ly our many Inquiries about Bordeaux
mixture and Its use It will be suf-
ficient to say that In 1886 a great
tut
Nta
Equipment for mixing Bordeaux
mixture In a small way No 1 lime
slacking box No 2 stock solution
barrel for lime No 3 stock solution
barrel for sulphate of copper No 4
barrel spray pump No 5 bucket for
dipping and measuring stock solu-
tions Two such buckets would be
highly desirable
many men conducted experiments to
test the value of the compounds of
copper very few other substances be-
ing used and among them was A
Millardet professor in the Academy
of Science Bordeaux France and to
him may justly be given credit for
discovering the value and use of the
preparation which was destined to
prove superior to all fungicides that
have been used to this day and which
is now so well known under the
name of Bordeaux mixture and readi-
ly made on any farm
The composition of the “Standard"
or 36 per cent Bordeaux mixture is
as follows:
Copper sulphate 6 pounds
Quicklime 4 pounds
Water 22 gallons
This formula was at first extensive-
ly used but it was found that a more
dilute mixture would answer the pur-
pose equally as well as it waB
practically abandoned for the mix-
GOOD TRAP FOR
0TB 7ti
An excellent and yet inexpensive
trap for ringing hogs may be con-
structed by following tthe instructions
herewith and observing the illustra-
tion which is quite clear
BORDEAUX MIXTURE
STOCK SOLUTION BARMLS
plat-form for making Bordeaux fhlxturo
ture which may now by termed the
“Normal” or 16 per cent Bordeaux
mixture and the following Is the com-
position: Copper sulphate 6 pounds
Quicklime 4 pounds
Water 45 gallons
To Make Bordeaux Mixture
The ’’Normar’ or 16 per cent Bor-
deaux mixture Is made by dissolving
6 pounds of sulphate of copper In 32
gallons of water while In another ves-
sel 4 pounds of lime is slacked In 13
gallons of water the two liquids are
then slowly mixed and the prepara-
tion Is ready for use
It is Interesting as well as Import-
ant to known that while Bordeaux
mixture is our most valuable fungicide
It also possesses a marked Insecticid-
al value as flea-beetles appear to be
most easily overcome or driven away
by this preparation
No farm or garden no matter how
small can be considered fully
equipped without a supply of Bor-
deaux mixture and suitable apparatus
for applying It — Illinois Farmers' In-
stitute EXCELLENT FEED
FOR DAIRY COWS
Dried Susar Beet Pulp is Almost
as Valuable as Original
Beets— How it is
Prepared
The dried sugar beet pulp Is a most
excellent feed and like silage and
roots more valuable than a chemical
analysis seems to indicate The pulp
Is almost as valuable pound for pound
as the original beets from which It
comes The pulp is soaked in water
a few hours before feeding One peck
of pulp when soaked will make a good
bucket of thick slop The usual ration
for a cow is one peck of the soaked
pulp mixed with two quarts of corn
chop and two quarts of wheat bran
fed morning and evening After this
is eaten the cows are given a forkful
of mixed hay with straw at noon The
cows fed this ration give a large quan-
tity of good rich well-flavored milk
and fatten up fit for the mqrket with
four months’ feeding Cows that will
come fresh In the early spring should
be allowed to go dry at least four
weeks before calving Dry cOws can
be ' kept in good thrifty condition on
chaffed cornstalks and oat straw with
one quart of corn chop to a bushel of
chaff Those giving milk should get
a bucket of warm Blop twice a day to
each made by mixing one pint of corn
chop one pint of linseed meal and one
quart of wheat bran In addition to
mixed feed
Keep the stables clean well lighted
and ventilated All stock cows espe-
cially should he carded and brushed
down every morning Stock cattle and
young stock are less liable to have
skin diseases if the hide is thoroughly
cleansed and kept free from scarf or
dandruff A little crude petroleum
rubbed over bare spots will soften the
skin and promote the growth of hair
This oil is excellent for cuts and sores
First wash the sore with warm water
and castlle soap wipe dry with clean
cloth and then rub in the oil Crude
petroleum is better for this purpose
than the refined oil as It has more
body and greater healing properties
Tbe oil may be had from any of the
large paint stores for 12 cents per gal-

inch scantlings (DD) at the corners

Entertainment for Bride-Elect
I am to entertain a bride-elect and
am puzzled as to what to do In the
way of entertainment What can you
suggest?— Romona
I wonder If you have had either a
magazine book or a “den’’ shower? At
the first the guests decide beforehand
what subscriptions to magazines to
give each one contributing 60 cents
This assures pleasure for the whole
first year The book Idea is carried
out in the same way
A Young Girl’s Question
Must I send each girl and each boy
In the same family a separate Invita-
tion? I want to have a party and
serve a light luncheon but I do not
want to buy expensive things Tell me
what to have also can I hand out
these Invitations when I meet any of
the guests?— P L M
Each member of the family must
have a separate Invitation except hus-
band and wife they are always one I
judge your party Is to be at night and
“light luncheons” are not served -that
is under tbe name of “luncheons”
After the theater we say “supper”
during the evening we say “refresh-
ments” Luncheon is a daytime meaL
It la also hard to have Inexpensive
things these days with prices soaring
high as the proverbial kite I’d have
coffee and sandwiches or ice crsam
and cake Invitations must go by mall
or messenger never handed to the
person
Progressive Candy Jack 8traws
I wish to entertain 12 little boys
and girls at an afternoon party Will
you suggest a novel scheme with
which to begin the party? — Puzzled
Mother
Provide a quarter of a pound of
twisted candy sticks known as “opera”
sticks In most candy shops They come
In all colors and there must be a dif-
ferent color for each table four at a
table A pair of candy tongs must he
In readiness for each player and a
box for containing the candy "straws”
The game is to see how many Bticks
may be withdrawn from the pile with-
out breaking or throwing the pile into
confusion Progressions are made and
the score kept Children enjoy this
entertainment and eating the sticks
won is permissible after the game is
over and scores settled
From an “Anxious Girl”
Girls of seventeen wear their hair
around the head In braids or in soft
pompadours caught with a bow In the
back the ends turned up underneath
or made In soft colls either side the
ear Dutch style Skirts should he a
bit below shoe top Just tell a hoy
that you will not kiss him that you do
not approve If necessary to take
arms (and It seldom is) the girl should
take the man’s or he may take hers to
assist her over a dangerous crossing
Eight to ten or ten thirty are calling
hours
The Proper ‘Thing to Do
What la proper for a young lady to
say when Introduced to a man at a
dance? Also what Is the proper form
for Introducing a young man to a
young lady? Please answer through
your columns — Irish Mary
All the young lady has to say is "I
am very glad to meet you Mr Jones”
and the right way to present a man to
a woman is this: “Miss Young may
I present Mr Jones who Is here on a
Visit” or “who Is anxious to meet
you" It Is always nice to give some
clue to the ones being Introduced aa
to “who Is who”
From a Perplexed Girl
Your columns have been so helpful
to others I would like to have your
advice' I have been going with a boy
for about two or three months and
like him very much and he has told
other people he liked me better than
any girl he ever knew When at a
"leap year” dance how many dances
should I give him? Do you think it
considered unladylike to wear small
pearl earrings or would they make me
look coarse? What should a girl say
when asked to have a dance? Is it
really wrong to let a hoy kiss you if
be Is In earnest? — Perplexed B
I hope from henceforth these col-
umns will prove helpful to you and
that you will come just aa often as
questions bother you It depends up-
on how many dances there are
should think you could give him every
other one Girls are wearing ear-
rings now and if small I see no harm
for the ears are not pierced these days
and it is only a harmless passing fad
to wear them I think it Is really
wrong to let a boy kiss you and per-
haps you will think I am very prim to
say so If the boy really thinks a lot
of you you can explain In a satisfac-
tory manner why you’d rather not per-
mit familiarity and he will appreciate
and understand your situation and like
you all the better
MADAME MERRL
It is perfectly natural for a fastidi-
ous woman to worry about the looks
of her hands when she 1b so placed
that she must do hard and dirty
work The hand that shows the Blgna
of domestic drudgery does not add to
a woman’s charm while the one that
looks as If It was lain In pink cotton
all ltB life does Yet the working hand
can show a deal more character than
the soft pink-tipped unused one and
the energetic housewife with a mini-
mum of dally care can keep her hands
In better shape
Much of the beauty of the hands
will depend upon the quality of the
soap used for the toilet and as to that
the housekeeper’s hands would re-
spond far more quickly to her little
moments of dally care It she used a
fairly good soap for her housecleaning
The cheap soaps supplied for house-
keeping are strong with alkali and
their constant use will ruin the best
skin To preserve and promote the
whiteness and delicacy of the hand
skin & mild emollient soap containing
much oil Is needed at least for the
toilet A cake of old castlle soap
Bhaved to a powder and then boiled
to a jelly makes a very gentle and
thorough cleanser for the hands ' A
finer soap Is made of the best white
curd soap and old castile In the pro'
portion of one-seventh of the latter
to six-sevenths of tbe former This
can be perfumed and made further
helpful with the addition of one ounce
of essential oil of almonds to four and
a half pounds of the soap
Tbe dish pan must answer for many
sins for through constant Immersion
in hot greasy water hands once pretty
are ruined every day When the house-
keeper goes from hot water to cold
too she does her hands a still greater
Injury for the sudden change of tem-
perature Is very baleful In Its effect
Rheumatism is caused In this way aa
well as salt rheum and a score of
other hand annoyances The skin
hardens and discolors and the hands
soon look weather-beaten and old As
to dish washing with the hare hands
It Is sheer nonsense and the house-
keeper who “washes up” in this man-
ner deserves pretty much all she gets
The drug store and the other shops
have rubber gloves for this very pur-
pose dish mops are cheap and by
making a little pad for the necessary
holding of the dish while It is being
mopped the hands can come through
a dish washing spree without the least
Injury Have two pans of water one
for washing and one for rinsing and
then let the dishes drip dry In one of
the metal racks sold so cheaply They
will be cleaner than if wiped and the
hands will get a little extra rest Save
them all you can— It Is your duty
For this dishwashing with gloves
for dusting and all other “redding
up” the hands are helped If they are
greased before the gloves are donned
When putting up fruits they are saved
a lot of staining if they are first an-
notated In this way for the emollient
used sinks Into the skin and so keeps
the stain from becoming deep seated
When a party is imminent and the
housekeeper feels that she must give
her hands an extra beautifying so that
she will look well in her short-sleeved
frock after giving her hands and arms
a thorough scrubbing let her rinse
them off in a bowl of fresh water con-
taining a teaspoonful of benzoin
which bleaches the skin to some ex-
tent almost Instantaneously If the
hands are browner than the arms pay
more attention to them rubbing the
benzoin water: well Into the skin but
seeing too that it is not strong
enough to bite Then go over the
hands with the skin of a freshly-cut
cucumber rinse off the juice dry the
hands partly and then rub In a deli-
cate hand lotion such as is made by
six parts of rosewater to one of glyc-
erin The lotion will plump the skin
and add to its whiteness It will also
help to keep on the powder If that is
to be used on the hands and arms
Compact Folding Table
For the small apartment where
every Inch of space must be econo'
mlzed there is no piece of furniture
to equal the folding table which when
closed may he placed almost flatly
against a wall
When opened this table shows a
flat surface covered with baize or
morocco on which a tea tray may he
set or a four-handed game of cards
played Through its center this top
is invisibly hinged and has two flat
lids one of which when raised dis-
closes a shallow box containing an
entire sewing equipment
The other side is fitted with a com-
plete writing desk set In addition to
a blotter pad next to which are
sunken grooves for pens and pencils
andattbe two upper corners wells for
ink and paste
To Cut Thin Materials
Great difficulty Is often expert
enced when cutting thin materials
such as chiffon net and maline
If the material is pinned to paper
It will remain firm and the trouble
will be overcome

Child’s Fear of the Dark
If mothers notice that the brains of
their little ones conjure up unrtmny
sights and thoughts from the shadows

to become accustomed to the darkness
Is a grave error If its nervous system
Is so organized that this forcing Is-
productive of a fright
The nervous system of a child Is &
very susceptible organization and the-
deleterious Impressions made upon It
will often make their influence felt
throughout Its whole afterlife If tho
child asks for a light under such cir-
cumstances do not refuse it
