KILLING WHITE GRUBS IPIowing in Late Fall and During Winter Will Help. j _ - According to Their Life Cycles Pests Will Be Abundant Next Year, Causing Much Damage to Various Farm Crops. Every effort should be made to pre vent destruction by white grubs, which, according to their life cycles, .will be abundant in 1917 and 1018, causing damage to timothy and small igrains in 1917 and to corn in 1018. Late fall and winter plowing will destroy many of the hibernating cut worms as well as such Insect pests as white grubs. This, therefore, should be practiced when earlier plowing is Impracticable. Farm poultry trained to follow the plow are also a great value in destroying the pest, and hogs White Grub and Parent Beetle. [that are allowed to pasture upon land ithat harbors cutworms will root up and devour great quantities of the in sects. In most cases the moths lay their leggs in the late summer or early fall lin fields which are covered with grass ?or weeds. The worms hatch in a few :weeks, feed upon this vegetation until '.cold weather, and then hibernate as ;partly-grown caterpillars. When the Mnfested field ls broken up and planted to corn or other wide-row crops in the ; spring, the worms are deprived of their natural food and are compelled to at tack the newly-planted crop. They continue to consume an enormous amount of food until they have at tained their full growth, and change to the pupal or resting stage in late June or early July. LAYING QUALITY OF PULLETS Purchase a Purebred Male and Stop Trying to Keep Flock of All Kinds and Colors. The thinking poultryraan realizes that the male ls "half of the pen." The chickens have one father in com mon and may iiave separate mothers, so the male's vigor and personality is in every chick. Get a purebred male. Stop this keep ing a flock of all kinds and colors. Be careful to choose a male of real merit, bred with care and for a purpose. Whichever of the two aims-eggs or meat-is the best with you, select for that purpose, but uever forget that a well-bred cockerel, one bred from meat-producing and egg-laying ances try, will decidely improve the laying quality of the pullets, even if you are aiming and have chosen for the pur pose of size. ?ATTENTION TO COLT'S FEET Uneven Growth Will Often Result in Misshappen Joints and Bones Use Ra&p and Nippers. The colt's feet require attention. An uneven growth of the feet at this pe [riod will often result in mishapen ibones and joints that will prove to be j permanent Injuries. If the colt will let you hannie him ut all it is easy to keep the feet correctly proportioned with nippers and a rasp; practice and observation will soon enable a man :who has fair judgment to determine j what trimming the feet of euch colt j need. As a general rule the feet should be examined every six or eight weeks. If the colt's owner can't look after ?this matter himself he should obtain the services of someone who can, for it may mean the difference of fifty .or one hun Ired dollars in the vulue of ; the animai later in life. ?CHARCOAL GOOD FOR CHICKS Given to Poultry as Corrective, Not as Food, Says Expert of Kan sas State College. Charccal is given to poultry as a ; corrective, and not as a food, asserts ?R. M. Sherwood, acting head of the i department of poultry husbandry In ?the Kansas State Agricultural college. "In case of improper feeding It is 'well to give charcoal to absorb Intes tinal gases," said Mr. Sherwood. "It : is generally fed to growing chicks I only, because of its high cost. "When there Is a supply of cobs on the farm, charcoal can be made from them, and this would be cheap enough to warrant feeding it to hens as well las chicks."

It seems to nie the whol world ought to be rich If people get the money offered for criminals, losl persons and stolen jewelry. Here's a mnn wanted out In Ohio for killing two men nnd robbing a bank. There's a thousund dollars' reward for him. 1 wish we could get IL don't you?" "Wish lt?" sighed Aimee, crumbing the little table and setting down three saucers of pudding. "Yes, I do." The sisters looked at each other and then at Bob, who was too busy hunting for fat raisins to bother with the no tions of big girls. His recent Illness had left him with an appetite even more remarkable than before, and he was the strongest, healthiest looking boy In the world-only against the rocker leaned a crutch. That was why the girls bad the same thought A thousand dollars would do so much I "I wonder," Helen went "back to the paper, "how people catch criminals? Here's his picture and description, five feet eleven Inches high, dark brown hair, gray eyes, weight oue hundred and seventy-three pounds. They think he ls in this city." "But that might be anybody," put In Aimee. "Just wait a minute," went on Helen. "Triangular scar on left side of chin, square Jaws, mole on back of right hand." .TU put on my hat when the dishes are done. He'd be hard to miss now." laughed her sister. The train was full the next evening when Helen got on. However, she j managed to squeeze Into a small space In the foremost seat that faced the other passengers. Down the aisle rows of commuters were buried in the evening papers and Helen studied the passengers with In terest, finding diversion in the fact that most of them looked as tired as she felt Then suddenly she gave a gasp of amazement, for her eyes had discov ered a face that somehow looked famil iar. On a finn chin, between two square-set jaws, was a triangular scar that showed an angry red against an otherwise rather pale complexion. Helen's eyes leaped from one feature to the other-gray eyes, brown bair, rather tall, she judged. There was no mistake about it; she had found him. "Oh. Bobby," her thoughts flew to her brother, "won't it be wonderful if we get the reward and take you out to Doctor Taylor, where you can have proper treatment?" Suddenly Helen realized that her prey was looking at her. She darted a quick glance at him. then away, burn ing a furious red at her folly, for the man, discovering further interest on her part in himself and his belongings, smiled amusedly. And then fate, upon whom she had called, came to her aid most gloriously, albeit a blt roughly. There was a grindine and splintering of glass and something hit Helen on the back of the head. Things went out for awhile, and when her senses came back she was outside somewhere in the snow. Then she realized that a man was trying to make her swallow something. After that her head cleared rapidly and she tried to sit up. "That's splendid !" said the man. "Do you think you can stand? If you tell me where you live we can get you home." Helen, now keenly alive to every thing, realized that her benefactor was the criminal. "Thank you," she said steadily. "1 guess I am able to go now if th? car is ready. Won't-won't you come too?" "1 was golnp to nsk you If I might." And in a f^t* minutes they were at h*r door. "Won't you come in and get warm?" asked Helen. The time hnd come for the grand coup. Helen led him into the living room. Then, excusing herself for a minute, she went out and locked the door. Aimee and Bobble had heard and were in the hall. "Sh-" whispered Helen. 'Tve gol him-the murderer-he's lo the living room. Think of It I I'm going to tele phone for the police right away." But while the girls were at the phone Bobbie's curiosity got the bet ter of him. He went quietly to the door, turned the key and stuck In his head. "How did you kill them both?" he asked curiously. "Is that the money?" nodding toward the bag. "The man laughed. "Do you think Tm Captain Kidd? Come here, little man." "No, but sister said you were the man the papers told about, and she needed the reward. She'll be sorry." "I'm afraid she will. But I don't try to kill people. It's my business to patch them up. I help little boys like you to throw away their crutches." "What's your name?" asked Bobble. "Marshall J. Taylor, at your usrvice, sir!" Helen and Aimee, who had tiptoed to the doorway, were aghast They had heard lt all. "The doctor!" Helen i ost sobbed, and going Into the rooi^, she said quickly: "It's all true, what Bobble told you. I was hunting the criminal to get reward to make Bobbie well. I was going to take him to you." "We'll make Bobble well," answered Doctor Taylor, "and some da}'--" he paused, "maybe you can pay me, but not in money." (Copyright, 1316. by the McClure Newspa per Syndicate.)

Snit pork is a wholesome meat which ls found in most families. In the country the nicely fatted young pork salted is delicious eating. The ad vantage of salt pork is that lt keeps indefinitely and is an emergency meat always available. Crisp slices of pork parboiled in water, then rolled in cornmeal and fried brown and served with a gravy of flour and milk, cooking the flour in the hot fat, then adding the milk. Baked potatoes are especially good with this meat. Roast pork left-overs finely chopped and served with chopped celery in salad makes a fine substitute for chicken. Cornmeal pork fritters, with a rich gravy will make a breakfast dish which is sufficiently filling for a good meal. Use cornmeal, one egg, a little baking powder and sufficient milk to make a batter thick enough to dip the slices of parboiled and drained salt pork in, then fry in fat and serve with a cream gruvy. Pork of any kind, salt or otherwise, should be cooked long and slowly to make it digestible. Fresh pork with carrots, onions and potatoes baked in a casserole is an other dish which is well liked. A small amount of meat will season the vegetables, thus making a most eco nomical dish. Spiced Shoulder of Pork.-Soak the shoulder in water for several hours after washing well, being sure that it Is well scraped, removing all the smoked portions that might impart a strong flavor. Place in a large kettle with cold water to cover; bring slowly to the boiling point, then add pepper corns, whole cloves and sage, a tea spoonful of each, with a bay leaf, if liked, a bit of mace or nutmeg. The sage may be omitted if the flavor ls not liked. After two hours of gentle cooking, remove the skin from the shoulder and. put it in a baking pan, skin side np. Add half a cupful of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of sugnr, and a cupful of water; use this to baste the meat while roasting. Any left-over portions are delicious, sliced cold.
