Proride shade and water for all classes of live stock to prevent them from suffering from the July heat. Feed enough grain to hogs on pas ture to keep them in good thrifty condition. See that the pigs have a clean trough for sour feed will cause di gestive troubles. If spring pigs have not been in oculated for cholera, do it now. Select animals for show and give special attention until show time. Keep the barns clean and free from manure to keep the house fly under control and to get the best returns from the manure on the soil. Dairying Keep milk cows. out of sframps," pastures with stagnant ponds or creeks. Clean drinking water is nec essary. Stagnant water usually car ries bacteria which produce ropy milk and other undesirable conditions. Give cows on pasture access to salt every day. They need about one ounce per day. Use a fly repellant on your cows. Good cows pay for it. Do not turn cows on pastures with no shade trees during the middle of the day. Plant Diseases Save feed from clean plants for next year’s planting of tobacco, wa termelon, cucumber, muskmelon, and tomato. Clean up the peach orchard after picking, collecting and burning or burying rotted peaches, and if possi ble,'trimming out and burning all dead or cankered twigs. Treat the stems of all watermelons in the car to prevent rot en route. Avoid pasturing or grazing hay on wilt infestation watermelon fields af ter the melon crop is removed. —Plant - a rust-resistant ~ variety of beans for fall crop. Entomology Mound peach trees for borer and apply truck wash early in July. Watch out for army worm and fight with poisoned bran mash in for- age crops and with Paris green, etc,, in grass and on terraces. Protect melons from pickle worms by bagging the melons and by shal low cultivation. Fight the potato beetle with Paris green or arsenate of lead. Spray tomatoes with arsenate of lead for tomato fruit worm until fruit is about , half grown. Poultry Keep young stock growing. Cull non-producing hens. Caponize the cockerels.

New Yor, June 28.—^Republican “inefficiency and corruption” forms the subject matter of the first and principal plank in the Democratic platform as presented tonight to the resolution committee by the 11 men who have labored for more than 20 hours on the national .party declara tion for 1924. Asserting that never had an ad ministration so thoroughly failed as the Republicqfn administration, the platform arraigns the Republican party “for attempting to impede and stop” the senate investigations. It is asserted that these investiga tions showed the immoral nature of the naval leases; the unfitness of the attorney general to hold office and corruption in the veterans’ bureau. Reference is also made to charges against Republican members of con gress growing out of the Chicago .grand jury investigation into the vet erans’ bureau. “If only three cabinet officers are disgraced, the Democratic party asks how many more men are guilty,” the platform draft adds. “This nation can not afford to have in office men of this character.” “A vote for Coolidge is a vote for chaos,” the plank concludes. “Dis honesty, extravagance and inefficien cy now exist in the government.” This and some SO other planks in the platform were uncontroverted in the subcommittee, the only issue in dispute for settlement by the entire committee being the declarations with reference to file Ku Klux Klan and the League of Nations. Five or six alternative proposals with reference to both the klan and the league were submitted and the committee settled down for what promised to be another all night ses sion. The subcommittee was over whelmingly opposed to naming the klan and against reaffirmation of the 1920 plank regarding the The agricultural plank asserts tent the Republican policy with respect to Europe has been such as to retard the economic rehabilitation of that continent with a result that the mar ket has not been reopened to the American farmer. A pledge also is given of the adop tion of an international policy of co operation by direct ^official negotia tions instead of indirect unofficial negdtiations as will restore a nonaxl flow to Europe of the products of American farm and factory. Reframing the prohibition plank, the subcommittee recommended oaa declaring for “enforcement of the prohibition law” but without man tioning specifically either the 18th. amendment of the Volstead act. “The Republican administration haa failed in the enforcement of the pro hibition law,” the plank declaim. “The Democratic party pledges itself to the enforcement of this law.” TURNIP SEEDS A full Hue of Turnip Seed in Ife packages, in the following variettoas Extra Early Whit# Milan.

My husband would have to hold my coffee for me to drink. Last fall I was in such a bad condition that I had to spend about three days in bed every month. It seemed to me that I was on my last go-round." Then one day, said Mrs. Lam bert, she happened to read about Cardui and the experiences of women who had continued, “for I had been gof fering with similar troubles to those mentioned there.
