WORK ON MILITARY ROADS French Railroad* In Good 8hapo After Three Year*. Washington, Aug. 27.?Official reports to the war department show French railroads to me In splendid jhape after three years of war. American engineers who have inspected the lines have been amazed it what they found in this regard. Secretary Baker said today that the American railway engineers' regment already organized and several >f which are in Europe, are intended 'or work on military railroads only, it will be necessary to take over from the French or British enginjers, as the case may be, such military lines as are needed to serve the American bases. This will be done is soon as the American forces in France reach a strength to justify the action. The operation and upkeep of the main supply lines, will require the use of railroad engineer units. Regular regiments of this type have been organized. It is indicated that eleven more will be founded next month from men called by the selective draft. Railway employes among the drafted men probably will be assigned to these special units. + UABBAGE HARLEQUIN BUG. Clemson College. Aug. 29.?The cabbage harlequin or calico bug is a flattened black bug with gaudy red and yellow markins. It lives practically the year round on collards, cabbage, turnips and other similar plants, puncturing the leaves and tender stems and causing them to wither and die. The eggs are laid on the under side of the leaves arranged in parallel rows of about six eggs each. They resemble white barrels with black hoops. Burning is very effective for controlling this bug on small areas of cabbage, collardn. and kohlrabi during the late summer and fall. It is necessary to have two good torches about eighteen Inches long made of either fat pine, or cotton wrapped an a stick with wire and saturated with kerosene. The operator with i torch in either hand passes along the rows and brings the torches together for a second or two from either side of the plant just below the bottom leaves. The flame passes up through the leaves dislodging the bugs and causing them to fall in the dame where they perish immediate- ' Iv. Many escape with burned legs and wings but they are no longer able to injure the plants. The flame should not be allowed to remain unlet the plant for more than a second r>r two or serious injury to the plant follows. Repeat the operation one month later if the bugs are still abundant. Do not burn in the morning or during t lie heat of the day. Burn only just before night so that the plants will have time to cool off and recover before the hot sun comes out next day.

Clemaon College, Aug. 29.?Grazing crops should at all times provide the bulky portion of the ration. Such feed aids much in keeping the hogs in a thrifty condition. It not only helps to balance "the ration and reduce the cost of pork production, but generally compels exercise, wards off constipation and reduces diseases to the minimum. The following are especially recommended: Rape sown in September or early October will furnish 'ate fall and winter grazing. Wheat, oats rye ar^ also good for winter grazing. Sow in the early fall. Vetch may be used to advantage with any of these grains. Bur and crimson clover will supply 'grazing in the late winter and early spring. Bur clover sown on Bermuda sod is recommended. When the bur clover dies out the Bermuda grass replaces it and can be grazed until fall. Cowpoas, soy beans, peanuts and sorghum sown in May will provide late summer and early fall grazing.

Chloride of calcium is sometimes used to absorb moisture and keep certain photographic products dry, such us platinum pnper or carbon paper; but a photographer has discovered that cardboard of the heavy kind will act as a good drier. The card 1r used In rough sheets. It being well dried by heat and then wrapped In waxed paper so as to leave only the edge of the board free and thus not absorb moisture too qulekly.
