Beware of ivy poisoning when you
flee to the woods these days. For
many people there is little else so
discomforting as a bad case of ivy
poisoning. The poison is caused by
coming into contact with a peculiar
kind of gum or oil secreted by the
poison Ivy plant. To ovoid ivy poison
ing, never touch the ivy plant, leaves,
stem or root, of anything that may
have been in contact with sucn a
plant. If one has accidentally come
Into contact with poison ivy, the best
thing to do is to thoroughly wash
the place touched by the ivy. Cool
water alone will not always remove
the poisonous oil or gum. Use soap
and warm water whenever possible
When out in the woods, hasten to
the nearest stream of water and
wash, usine fine sand and mud for
soap. A vigorous washing of the
bare skin with fine, sharp sand, mud
and water may be a bit strenuous,
but it usually accomplishes the re
sults.
Poison ivy may be easily recognized
because it has only three leaves,
while the harmless' forms have five
leaves.

makes the plan impracticable. The
following method (shown in Fig. 2)
has been successful where It was Im
possible to dig deeply. Three posts
were set at a distance of ten or twelve
feet apart. Then the brace and guy
wires were attached to the second and
third posts In the manner usually em
ployed between the corner and second
posts. A guy wire was run frm the
top of the second post to the corner
post at the ground and a stout board
or 2x4 nailed to the upper ends of the
first and second posts. The wire of
the fence was then stretched to the
second post and wrapped around it.
The space between that and the cor
ner post was closed with fencing
boards or wire, as was most convenient.

I am auite clear that one of our
worst failures is at the point where,
having resolved like angels, we drop
back into the old matter-of-fact life
and do just what we did before, be
cause we have always done it, and be
cause everybody does It, and because
our fathers and mothers did it all

we should not do It. . ..." . There
is no station of life, and no place of
one's home, where, if he wants to
enlarge his life by caring for people
who presided, weighed out equal jus-W)Utside himself, he may not start on

publicans turn our backs on the tried
and true leaders of our party? Men
who have led us out of depression,
panic and industrial disasters of
every kind and into peace, prosperity
and happiness. Shall we desert these
leaders and follow Mr. Roosevelt into
the wilderness?
The great leaders of our party are
almost to a man behind the Rresi
dent. In the call for the new party
no names appear, which have inspir
ed us in the past. Untried leaders
are at the helm. Not even Lafollette,
Hadley or Cummins, former leaders
of the progressives are in it. They
prefer to take their chances with the
old Republican party, that has saved
our country In thepast.
Mr. Taft is only an incident in the
a career of enlargement which shall
find the answer to our question to be
that the man who enters upon infinite
purposes lives 'the infinite life. H"

No earth road can be maintained In
good condition unless it be 60 con
structed as to drain well, and unless
it be kept free from ruts and holes.
The best method of maintaining an
earth road, especially a prairie road,
is by the systematic use of the road
drag. A sand road Is never good un
der any circumstances, but certainly
Is not improved by crowning. A sand
road is at its best when moist, so it
should be left flat. No one wants a
sand road, eo, if possible, clay should
be added to, and mixed with the sand,
making what is known as a sand clay
road.
The old way, and it is used today by
many, of filling a mud hole with brush
with a little earth on top, cannot be
too strongly condemned, and Is only
permissible In cases of emergency,
when it is impossible to drain the hole
or to get sand or stone to fill it. The
orerseer or foreman should in dry
weather center his work on such
places until the road is raised to a
sufficient height th drain well. Many
overseers have brush hauled two miles
to fill a mild hole, when sand Is with

a similar manner to the cabbage mag

a later brood infest the full-grown
roots and continue their work of de

winter. Celery and parsnips are alsc
attacked.
Preventive measures seem to be the
only remedies available. To deter th
fly from laying her eggs, the rows oi
young carrots, when ready for thin
