I used "20-Mule-Team" Soap for washing the birds, and I can say from years of exper ience washing white birds, never be fore have I found a soap or Borax that cleaned my birds so fine and easy.

Grower and Stock man Soma Remedies for Cabbage Tests. At the last meeting of our Farm ers' Union come one asked what to do for an Insect that was 'eating cab bage, but could not be found. The reply was, that it was a bug which burrowed in the soil when not eat ing; and there was no remedy except thorough cultivation preceded by thorough preparation of the soil be fore planting time. Another mem ber said to try sprinkling the plants and ground around them, with a so lution of saltpetre, using two tea spoons of powdered saltpetro to a pail of water. He also gave this a3 a preventative of the ravages of the beetle that so often injures squash, melon and cucumber plants. It does not kill, perhaps, but drives away the bug, which answers the same pur pose. Sometimes a second applica tion is necessary. Saltpetre and water are said to be good for cabbage worms. Sometimes sprinkling ashes or garden dust on the cabbage while the dew is on will kill the worms; but the surest rem edy is a teaspoonful of Paris green to forty tablespoons of flour, sprinkled on the cabbage while damp with dew, or use Paris green in solution sprink led on later in the day. Many are afraid to use Paris green, because it is poison; but the growth of cab bage is from the inside, and the rem edy is applied to what later becomes the loose outside leaves and cannot injure any one. Should any enter the inner part of the head, the first good rain would wash it all away; or the washing when the cabbage is prepared for table renders it perfect ly harmless. Progressive Farmer. Lettuce Growing "Wrinkles. A combination method of indoor and outdoor lettuce culture that sometimes works nicely is starting head lettuce In the greenhouse, hot bed or cold frame and transplanting to the open as soon as the weather is favorable. Not only do we thus get earlier lettuce, but the development of head lettuce seems to be very fine under these conditions. Deacon, Big Boston, May King, Black Seeded Ten nlsball, Market Gardener's Private Stock, Iceberg and Improved Hanson are varieties suitable for this corn- Grand Rapids Lettuce Plant. Growth in pot for transplanting to Bench or box. bination culture. The last two are curly leaved varieties, but under proper cultural conditions form good heads. The plants are started in the greenhouse, transplanted into flats and hardened off in the cold frames. They are then set in the open ground in rows fifteen inches apart and about ten inches apart in the row. Another wrinkle In the growing of early lettuce is to grow the plants in pots until about the size of that shown in the figure and then trans planted to flats, in which the plants are grown to maturity or at least sala ble size. New York Witness. How to Avoid Red Bugs. Red bugs (called also chigoe, chlg re, jigger and several other names) are frequently given as a reason why chickens hatched late in spring can not be grown successfully In the South. These little mites can be avoided without great trouble, so that chicken raisers can have success with late hatched chicks if they will. When the little birds run among all sorts of green things, the red bugs get on them and burrow into the flesh, causing trouble that for small chicks is far more serious than when the bugs burrow into the flesh of man. A cure is troublesome at the best, and the necessity of a cure Is not infrequently a serious matter. By keeping the pests off the chicks, all trouble is avoided. How can they be kept off? If the chicks are constantly on bare ground, there will be no chance for the bugs to get on them. One suc cessful poultryman makes it a prac tice to fence in his small chicks un der fruit trees, the ground being plowed or spaded till there is not a spear of grass anywhere. It becomes necessary then, of course, to supply enough green feed, both for the chicks and their mothers. This par ticular poultryman keeps each hen New3 cf the Day. A 12-year-old boy saved his par ents and threee other aoilts whose sailboat had turned turtle in Lake Erie. President Roosevelt received six persons and talked to Casper Whit ney about big game. Alfred Ben Smith, 15 years old, was t'frowned in the Appomattox river while trying to rescue William Smith, 12 years old. In a coop, with provisions for the little fellows to run in and out as they like. They soon learn where their own mothers are, and there is very little likelihood of any cross hen having the chance to peck the chicks of other hens. Sanitary precaution makes it ad visable to move the coops about to fresh ground frequently, also to stir the soil all over the enclosure to get the droppings under the earth. A small wheel, hoe, or push plow will turn the mellow earth over two inches deep quickly and easily. In order that the chicks may have some thing to do, which will prevent them from getting into mischief, grain may be worked into the soil for them to scratch out. They will soon learn to do the work and will enjoy it. Indeed, they will be so eager to get at it if they are kept as hungry as they should be, that they will get in the way when the grain is being worked into the soil. The enclosure should not be too small for the num ber of chicks it contains, or they will not have room to exercise suffi ciently and the earth may get so filthy as to be positively poisonous. Will not some reader report what his or her experience is in manag ing the red bug evil among poultry? Chas. M. Scherer. " Around the Farm. Steer clear of notions in farming. What does that mean? Just this: Have nothing to do with Belgian hares. Leave the ginseng fad out. There is nothing in them for the everyday farmer. Same way about frog culture, raising skunks and all that sort of thing. Be enterprising, but let it be along lines of legitimate farming. There is a lot of talk all the time about the best ways of keeping up the fertility of our lands. The best way that anybody ever has thought out is to keep stock. Good, old-fashioned barnyard manure is the most natural fertilizer in the world. ' The more we can get of it the better off we will be. Keep a steady hand on the wheat crop. Do not be influenced very greatly by the fluctuations in the market. Plan to grow a good piece next year. It will all be needed and will bring a fair price. Prices for pork have been high and will be again. That means that we should get in large crops of corn this spring. Plan for it, work for it. How? By making your soil rich, by plowing the very best you can, by thorough cultivation, by using first class seed and by caring for the crop after it is on the way. Some men never think of bringing in a pail of water at their own homes. They will go away to somebody else's home and do lots of little chores and smile all the time. Isn't your wife just as thankful for these little attentions as your neighbor's wife is? I see our friend Jones never faila to go to town twice a week to help save the country at the grocery store congress. Meanwhile his sheep crawl through the bottom wire fence and have a good time among the corn stalks he is too busy to husk out. Home and Farm. Killing Cut Worms and Totato Bugs. A correspondent asks how to kill cutworms. If the garden had been plowed at Intervals during, winter, the cutworm larvae would have been exposed and killed and there would have been no cutworms this spring. Wheat bran moistened with syrup and arsenic acid, made into little balls and laid about on the, ground, will attract them by the sweetness, and poison them. Air-slacked limg will kill them, but injure the plants. To apply the lime, set a tin can or paper cone over the plant to pro tect it, put a circle of lime complete ly around, remove the can or papei cone cover next plant, apply lime, etc. It is not so tedious as it seems. Several ask how to kill potato bugs. One pound of Paris green to two hundred barrels of water, ap ply with a spraying machine; or one pound of Paris green to twenty five pounds of flour thoroughly mixed and sifted on the plants from a thin muslin sack while the dew is on, is a safe remedy. If one has a small patch in the garden, use in propor tion of one tablespoon of Paris green to forty tablespoons of flour. Sometimes it is necessary to repeat in a week or ten days. Do not wait un til potato vines are half-eaten up before applying. Begin as soon as the bugs begin. Partly destroyed vines mean an injured and lessened crop. Progressive Farmer.

It was all over my face and covered nearly all of my head. It reached such a 'state that j$.W just a large scab "all over, and the pain and itching were terrible. I doctored with an able physician for some time and was then advised by him to use the Cuticura Rem edies, which I did and I was entirely cured. I have not been bothered with it since. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, but do not know exactly how much was used to complete the cure. Misa Anabel Wilson, North Branch, Mich., Oct. 20, '07." EIIenTio'rough's Sarcasm. There are few places that have given birth to more humor and wit than the court room. Many have heard of the humor of the famou3 Lord Ellenborough.

"Go on, sir, go on!" said Ellenbor ough. "So far the Court 13 with you." New York Tribune. The best gold pens are tipped with an alloy of osmium and iridium.'

The story is told of a Dutchman who certatoly needed the service of the far-famed "Lady from Philadel phia," if ever any one required her assistance. He was assigned to a seat in the ooach which obliged him to ride back ward through the Black Forest At the first shopping place he asked the postmaster to give him another seat, saying it made him ill to ride 'back ward. "Ask the man opposite to change with you," said the postmaster, gruffly, "But there is nobody opposite ,a me," complained the Dutchman, "so I cannot ask Ihlm." Youth's Compan ion. WIFE WON. Ilnsbaod Finally Convinced. Some men are wise enough to try new foods and beverages and then generous enough to give others the benefit of their experience. A very "conservative" Ills. man. however, let his good wife find out for herself what a blessing Postum Is to those who are distressed in many ways, by drinking coffee. The wife writes: "No slave in chains, it seemed to me, was more helpless than 1, a coffee captive. Yet there were Innumerable warnings waking from a troubled sleep with a feeling of suffocation, at times dizzy and out of breath, attacks of palpitation of the heart that fright ened me. "Common sense, reason, and my better judgment told me that coffee drinking was the trouble. At last my nervous system was bo disarranged that my physician ordered 'no more coffee.' "He knew he was right and he knew I knew it, too. I capitulated. Prior to this our family had tried Postum but disliked it, because, as we learned later. It was not made right. "Determined this time to give Postum a fair trial, 1 prepared it ac cording to directions on the pkg. that is, boiled it 15 minutes after boiling commenced, obtaining a dark brown liquid with a rich, snappy flavour similar to coffee. When cream and sugar were added it was not only good but delicious. "Noting it3 beneficial effects in me the rest of the family adopted it all except my husband, who would not admit that coffee hurt him. Several weeks elapsed during which I drank Postum two or three times a day, when, to my surprise, my husband said: 'I have decided to drink Postum. Your improvement Is so apparent you Jiave such fine color that I propose to give credit where credit Is due. And now we are coffee-slaves no longer." Name given by-Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The use of re-enlorced concrete armor on warships has recently been suggested. An Italian engineer, Lor enzo d'Adda, has been led by the suc cess of concrete land fortifications, as revealed in the Russian-Japanese war, to ooa struct armor plate3 of re enforced concrete, covered with thin plates of steel, as a protection against the immediate effects of the impact of shells. Concrete armor plates, even wben re-enforced by stout and close ly inlaid iron bars, must obviously be much thicker than hardened steel armor, but a3 the specific gravity of the material is only one-third that cf steel the weight of the armor need cot be Increased, while its cost may be very greatly diminished. The sub stitution of re-enforced concrete for steel armor on a first class battleship would effect a considerable saving. The practicability of the substitution will be decided by the result of ex periments, soon to be made, on the effect cf shots on the re-enforced concrete plates. Scientific American.
