SHOULD COOL OFF GRADUALLY Mistake to Turn the Hose on Per spiring Team, Is the AssertIon of Veterinarian. "In the hot weather there are al Ways a number of fools who think 'they are kind to their horses when they turn a hose on them and drench them with cold water to thoroughly cool them off," said a veterinarian as he stopped a driver from throwing Water over his perspiring team. "If the horse is overheated," he contin ued, "the shock of such a path on the region where the kidneys are sit Uated is enough to kill it, and even it it does no apparent harm the horse will succumb niuch more readily to - the heat afterward. After a horse has been working in the broiling sun it should be cooled off as gradually as noRsible. The first thing to do Is to .h1 out its mouth, -va, which is poi es the anlimal be allowed to this the horse legs bathed-the ts haunches, the chest. Then it is safe to wet its head, neck and the part of its neck immediately behind the neck. Care should be taken, how ever, to keel) the-.region of the kid neys perfectly dry. This habit of driving a team up before a fire en. gino house and playing a hose indis criminately over their bodies is ac countable for the death of many good horses every summer. Victims of the Drug Habit. According to a recent estimate of the United States public health serv ice, the number of persons in this country who are victims of the drug habit is about 70,000, and the number of doses of narcotic drugs consumed by them annually is about 850,000,000. This estimate is based on figures col lected in the state of Tennessee where unde r -1 recently enacted antinarcotic law 1,403 permits were issued in six months to persons petitioning for the privilege of using narcotic drugs, and the consumption of such drugs amount ed to 8,498,200 average doses.

'N. FOLSOM.) A field of red clover In full bloom is Aive with insects. Such a profusion of insect visitants, both as regards number of individuals and number of species at one and the same time is afforded by no other plant that we know of, with the possible exception of alfalfa. In the clover fields of our experim(ntal farm we have taken two hundred species of insects-not all of them injurious, though more than half of them feed on the plant, adding to these the other species that have been listed as feeding on clovers. vetches and alfalfa, it is seen that these plants are food for more than two hundred different kinds of insects. A hundred or more are predaceous or parasitic on these clover insects, or else feed on animal or vegetable mat ter in the soil of the clover field. No part of the plant escapes attack. The roots are eaten by the larvae and the beetles of the root-borer, as well as by those of half a dozen other species, and are drained of their sap by the mealy bug. The stem is hol lowed out by the common stem-borer. Clover Root Borer-Beetle, Larva and Pupa. Both the stems and the leaves are pierced by many hemipterous Insects, especially aphids and jassids, and are eaten by a great variety of caterpil lars, beetles and grasshoppers, as are also the heads of the flowers. The ovule is destroyed by the maggot of the seed-midge, and the developing seed Is eaten out by the seed-chalcid. Even the hay is the special food of a certain caterpillar, hence called the clover hay worm. Some of the insects of the clover field are, of course, beneficial. Such are those that pollinize the flowers bumblebees and, to some extent, honey bees, as well as those that act as checks on the injurious insects. Most of the clover insects are not limited to clover, but to other food plants as well. The seed-mnidge and the seed-caterpillar are, however, con fined to the clovers, and the seed chalcid to clovers and alfalfa so far as knowvn. The root-borer Is said to eat peas as wvell as clover. The hay worm has been found only on hay as yet, but the moth has been raised from masses of dlead grape leaves taken in a vineyard. The leaf weevil is reported from beans and timothy, as well as clover and alfalfa. The clover louse has been a piest of the worst kind on peas and has a long list of food plants. Of the less im portant clover insects, a few have no at her food dahmt; but th~e majority can easily maintain their existence when no clover is at hand. The combined efforts of all the in sects are sufflcient to redunce the bay t'rop) materially every year. Aside from the occasional conspicuous In Jury,* there Is every year a steadly druin on the plant through the attacks of insects.

Many iniluencues coitbine to reduce the crop of seed. The worst injuries to the seed are insidious itn their nature, and are caused by in sects. These injuries are of three classes: (1) Those of a negative kind, due to lack of polliation. (2) The positive injuries due to miscellaneous insects that eat clover heads in an in cidental way. (3) The postive Injuries caused by insects that feed solely upon clover seeds or florets. The first two groups are relatively uniiportant in comparison with the last. The importance of the bumblebee in the pollination of red clover is so well established as to need no discussion That of the honeybee, however, is not sufliciently recognized. The honeybee pollinizes clover to some extent, even though its tottgue is two tilllineters shorter than the average coralla tube. A field of red clover is always thronged with honeybees if any of them are being kept within a mile or two of the place; and these bees se cure nectar from flowers that are un dersized, especially in times of drought, when most of the flowers are smaller than usual; also from flowers that secrcte i copious amount of nec tar. "'he bees, bumblebees especially, should be protected always. They are the best friends of the clover grower. Early pasturing is the secret of a good seed crop, as the growers in New York, Ohio, Michigan and other states have found. The explanation is sim ple. The fact is that pasturing gives a good seed crop for the reason that it delays the heading of the plant until a time when the seed-inidges and seed chalcids are no longer on the wing and laying eggs. When precau tions are not taken against these pests, they can be counted upon every year to destroy most of the clover seed. In some localities these two in sects cat from 50 to 75 per cent of the red clover seed every year without Alfalfa and Cloverseed Chalcid, Adult. hitndrance. Th'le fartmer gets only what the intsects leave. If he gets two bushels of seed to the acre, thte insects hav'e, perhaps, already eaten fr'om two to six bushels off thte same actre.
