In Dwellings and Stores Food Sup plies Are Attacked and Outdoors Aphids and Mealy Bugs Are Given Protection. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Both indoors and out the Argentine ant is becoming at serious pest in the South, according to entomologists of the United States departmnent of ag riculture. In dwellings and stores the pests are attacking food supplies, and out-of-doors they are protecting aphids and mealy bugs, which infest cotton, corn and sugarcane plants. Depart ment Bulletin No. 377, just issued, suggests control measures for the ants. It is practically certain, states the bulletin, that the Argentine ant was introduced into this country at New Orleans in ships from Brazilian ports. It was first observed in that city in 1891, and at present it Is distributed throughout portions of nine southern states. There are three forms of the Argentine ant-the worker, the drone and the queen-all of a dark-brown color. The worker is about one-tenth Inch in length, the male is somewhat larger and has wings, while the queen is nearly three times as large as the worker. Because of its small size and incon spicuous color the ,worker is able to invade every part of ordinary build ings. Any exposed food or food refuse attracts the workers, and the bulletin states that residents and keepers of grocery stores, meat markets, confec tioneries, etc., must either suffer con siderably or almost constantly use poi son or barriers of various kinds. The ,farmer, nurseryman, and truck grower find scale insects and aphids more troublesome because of the protection the ant gives to insects depositing honeydew. Control Measures. Three methods of controlling the in sect are discussed in the bulletin the usa of barriers, poisons and traps. Ant Barriers.--In grossly infested houses much relief may be secured by isolating tables, refrigerators, safes, beds, etc., with bichloride of mercury tape, but extreme care should be taken in using this poison. Piacing -the legs of articles of furniture in saucers filled with mothf balls or coal oils forms ia simple and eficient bar rier. Trees, beehive stands, and other outdoor objects may be isolated with the sticky substance used on fly paper but made thinner than usual. If 5 per cent of carbolized oil be added, the durability of the bands will be consia erably increased. Ant Polsons.-Strong antimony or arsenical sirups, a number of which are sold by druggists in infested ter ritories, are used to keep the ants from buildings. They gfive quick relief for short periodis, but are not i factor in the reduetlorn of the infestation. 'T'he only -teletye Ioisons yet known for permanent eontrol are poloned 1401i1Ps.

PROFITABLE TO PRODUCE'HAY Southern Farmer Can RaIse Feed for $10 to $18 Per Ton--Why Pay Northerner Bigger Price? Folks like bargains. If they can lbuy at cost they will often go to town and lead up with things they do not need just because they are cheap. If the muprchant plncardis his goods at cost he has no strouble in selling his stock and a great rmany farmers take advantage of the "great sacrifiee that must be made in 80 (lays." It is funny that there are so many who never think of sellIng themselves something at cost. Take hay for in stance. Suppose that northern hay is selling for $20 a ton. Suppose again thpt the Florida farmer can produce a tea of hay for $10 to $15. He could sell himself that hay at cost and keep the difference, whleh hre would have to pay for northern haty, in his pocket. That five or ten dloitars is worth sav ing. It is probable also that the profit wouild be greater since tihe price of northrernr hay is usunally higher thaa $20 and hary probably can be produced in Florida chenper than $10 a ton.

MANURE PRODUCED AT HOME FortIlizer Should Ncot Be Allowed to Accumulate in Stalls-Apply Soon as Possible, The horse manure produced at horne should not be allowetd to accumulate in the stalls for longer than a few days at a time. Preferably it should be applied as soon as posslible after being made and should be plowed uin der at the firs,t opportunity. At times when the land is occupIed by growing crops, the manure is best conservedl by placing It unader cover or In a basin or pit In the barnyard.: If, in addition, it can be firmly packed and satuiratell with wvater occasional ly, the losses Will1 be reduced to the mini~mum undet. thoa ciemanco.

BLUE OINTMENT FOR VERMIN Preparation Is Effective Agent in Rid ding Chickens of Lice-Apply Only Small Amount. Blue ointment, a preparation whieh inay be procured at any drug store, is a very effective agent in completely ridding chickens of lice. To cheapen the preparation. Its good results maty be had by adding one-half part vIse line. Apply a small atnount, such as a thimbleful, of the grease Just be low the vent of each bird. Do not at tiilpt to grense sitting hens with the p~reimaratin. The blue ointment contains iner cury and suet. The lice at the suet ind are poisoned wilth the mercury. This inethod of treatment Is more ef fective tIhan diting, inasmuch as it re mains Intaet longer and not only kills the lice that are alive, but also cateles those that hatch out later.
