POISONED BAIT SUCCESSFUI, MEASURE AGAINST CUTWORME Cutworis can readily be contro Id by the use of poisoned bait, the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture has demonstrated. This is the way t< prepare and apply the poison: To 1 bushel of dry bran and 1 pound of white arsenic or Paris green and mix thoroughly into a mash with 4 gallons of water, in which has beer stirred one-half gallon of sorghum oi other cheap molasses. This amouni will be sufficient to treat 4 or 5 acres of cultivated crops. After the mash has stood for several hours scattei it in lumps of about the size of a mar ble over'the fields where the injury is beginning to appear. Put it abou the bases of the plants which hav been set out. Apply the mash late in the day, so as to have the poison in place around the plants before night, when the cutworms are active Apply a second time if necessary. Cutwors destroy hundreds of thou sands, evep millions, of dollars' wortl of crops every year throughout the United States. They especially at tack tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, an other vegetables that have beei started under glass and transplanted Cutworms sometimes appear in grea numbers in the spring and early sum mer, and frequently do severe injury before their ravages are noticed. Their method of attack is to cut oil the young plants near the ground They are of large size and are vora cious feeders, capable of destroying~ many plants -in a single night. Ofter' they cut dlown more than they car devour.

V. Starkey, Chief of the Animal Hus bandry Division, who believes that the hog offers the greatest oppor tunity for culling and selection of all classes of livestock. The best time in the year to de cide whether or not a sow is worth keeping is just after weaning time. Then is the time to decide whether or not a sow has proven profitable. If a sow does not farrow a litter; if she farrows a litter and does not raise them; if she fails to come in heat; if she produces an ununiform litter; she should usually be dis posed of. If such sows .should hap pen to produce a litter, the pigs are likely to show the same weakness as their dam. The prolific, heavy-milking sow,, L O!

SP AYANr WITH KEIAOSENE - REMEDY AGAINST LAWN ANTS To get rid of lawn ants entomolog ists of the United States Department of Agriculture suggest drenching the tests with boiling water or pouring in a small quantity of kerosene oil. Similar treatment may be applied to nests between or beneath paving stones. Spraying the lawn with kero sene emulsion or with very strong soap wash is also recommended. For large ant nests disulphid of carbon injected into the nest by means of an oil can or a small syringe is recoip mended to kill the ants. The fumes of disulphid of carbon have a very disagreeable odor and are inflamma ble, but they are not injurious to higher animals in the open air. 666 quickly relieves Colds, Constipation, B i 1 i o usness and Headaches.
