(Prepared by the United Stain, Department
of Agricuiture.)
Weeds and insects are garden ene-
mies, and the time to kill both is Ite-
fore they appear!
Careful stirring of the soil destroys
the little weed seedings just after the
seeds have sprouted. Likewise, culti-
vation keeps the garden in such shape
that insects do not find it hiding place,
and are not so liable to injure the gar-
den crops. However, insects are al-
most sure to attack certain of the gar-
den crops and it will be necessary to
take precautions against them. Cut-
worms, potato bugs, flea beetles, and
plant lice are the most troublesome
garden insects. Do not give them a
chance to get started.
The common cutworm does its work
during the night, cutting off the plants
just below tlie surface of the soil
within a day or two after they are set
in the garden. One of the best ways to
prevent this injury is to surround the
stem plant with a tube made of stiff
paper or light cardboard, extending
an inch or so below the ground and
two or three Inches above. These col-
lars, or cutworm protectors, can be re-
meved after the danger of injury is
past—generally not until about 30 days
after the plants are set in the ground.
When Potato Bugs Appear.
The old-fashioned Colorado potato
beetles, or “hard shells,” come out of
the ground usually when the potatoes
are about four or five inches high.
These beetles themselves do not do a
great amount of harm except that they
lay clusters of yellow eggs on the un-

can be poisoned with the mixture of
purls green and lime referred to for
potato beetles, or they can driven
away by dusting the plants with fine
road dust, air-slacked lime. or with
very dry, powdery, sifted coni ashes.
Plant lice are more difficult to con-
trol, as they do not eat the leaves,
hut stick their beaks into the leaves
and suck the juices. They are rather
difficult to control, as they are found
mainly on the under side of the leaves,
one remedy is to spray with some
form of tobacco extract or nicotine
sulphate, using about one teaspoonful
in a gallon of water in which there
has previously been dissolved a one
inch cube of laundry sonp. The mix-
ture should be thoroughly stirred and
applied underneath the leaves espe-
daily, using some form of sprayer or
atomizer that will create a fine mist.
If the gardener finds some insect
witii which he is not acquainted he
should write to the extension division
his state college of agriculture.

der side of the potato leaves. In a
few days these eggs hatch Into soft-
shell beetles or slugs as they are some-
times called. In the soft shell, or slug
form the potato beetle has an enor-
mous appetite and a colony of them
will soon strip the foliage from a hill
of potatoes.
Hand picking is perhaps the best
method of getting rid of the hard-
shell beetles. They may be killed by
either crushihg them or dropping them
into boiling water. The slugs or soft-
shell beetles cannot be gathered to so
good advantage, but they may be pois-
oned by sprinkling the plants, while
the dew Is upon them, with a mixture
consisting of a heaping teaspoonful of
purls green to a pint of air-slaked lime
or land plaster. The easiest method
of applying the mixture is to place it
in a cheese cloth or thin burlap bag
and dust the plants by shaking the bag
directly over them. It is not necessary
to apply the poison to nil the plants,
but only where the bugs have made
their appearance. The plants should
be inspected every day or two Io see
that the bugs are not getting a start.

ricaded , and this one (consisting of
the ancient carriage house doors, open-
ing upon a driveway through the
yard) had recently been made effec-
tive us an instrument of exclusion.
A long and heavy plank leaned against
the wall, near by, ready to be set in
hook-shaped iron supports fastened to
the inner sides of the doors; and
when the doors were closed, with this
great plank in place, a person inside
the building might seem entitled to
count upon the enjoyment of privacy,
except in case of earthquake, tornado,
or fire. In fact, the size of the plank
and the substantial quality of the iron
fastenings, could he looked upon,
from a certain viewpoint, as a heart-
felt compliment to the energy and per-
sistence of Florence Atwater.
Herbert had been In no compli-
mentary frame of mind, however,
when lie devised the obstructions, nor
was he now in such a frame of mind.
He was deeply pessimistic In regard
to his future, and also embarrassed in
anticipation of some explanations it
would be necessary to make to his
partner. He strongly hoped that
Henry’s regular after-school appear-
ance at the newspaper building would
precede Florence’s, because these ex-
planations required both deliberation
and tact, and he was convinced that
it would be almost Impossible to make
them at all if Florence got there first.
He understood that he was unfor-
tunately within her power; and he
saw that it would be dangerous to
place in operation for. her exclusion
from the building this new mechanism
contrived with such hopeful care, and
at a cost of two dollars and twenty-
five cents, or nine annual subscrip-
tions to the Oriole out of a present
total of thirty-two. What he wished
Henry to believe was that for some
good reason, which Herbert had not
yet been able to invent, It would be
better to show Florence a little po-
liteness. He had a desperate hope
that he might find some diplomatic
way to prevail on Henry to be as sub-
servient to Florence as she had

Crop le Particularly Well Adapted for
Low, Poorly Drained Soil—it
Adds Variety.
Alsike clover is especially well
ndapted for low, porly drained land
on which common red clover refuses
to grow to advantage. It does not
yield as much forage as red clover
on soils that are well adapted for the
latter, and, therefore, should not be
grown in such places. It should, how-
ever, enter into every pasture mixture
if for no other reason than to add
variety.
In order to have a good garden it
is well to prepare the land as soon as
the soil conditions will permit, by first
plowing the entire area to a depth of
8 to 10 inches, applying stable manure
broadcast and harrowing thoroughly
until a perfect seedbed is formed.
The surface of the unplanted as
well ns the planted land should he
cultivated In order to conserve mois-
ture.

able. Here was a strange human
thing, strange yet common to most
minds brooding in fear of publicity.
We seldom realize that the people
whose derision we fear may have been
as imprudent as we have been.
Therefore, It was in a flurried state
of mind that Herbert waited; and
when his friend appeared, over the
fence, his perturbation was not de-
creased. He even fulled to notice the
unusual gravity of Henry’s manner.
"Hello, Henry; I thought I wouldn't
start in work till you got here. I didn't
want to haf to come all the way
downstairs again to open the door
and h’ist our good ole plunk up
again.”
"I see,” said Henry, glancing ner-
vously nt their good ole plank. “Well,
I guess Florenee'll never get in this
good ole door that is, if we don't
let her, or something.”
Tills Anal clause would have sur-
prised Herbert if he had been less pre-
occupied with his troubles. “You bet
she won't!” he sald mechanically.
“She couldn't ever get In here again-
if the family didn't go intafering
around and give me the dickens and
everything, because they think—they
say they do, anyhow they say they
think—they think—”
He paused, disguising a little choke
as a cough of scorn for the family’s
thinking.
“What did you say your family
think?” Henry asked absently.
"Well, they say we ought to let her
have a share in our newspaper.”
Again"he paused, afraid to continue
lest his hypocrisy appear so barefaced
ng to lead toward suspicion and dis-
covery "Well, maybe we ought,” he
said, his eyes guiltily upon his toe,
which slowly scuffed the ground. I
don't say we ought, and I don’t say
we oughtn’t."
He expected at least a burst of out-
raged protest from his partner, who.
on the contrary, pleasantly astonished
him “Well, that’s the way I look at
It" Henry said. “I don’t say we ought,
and I don’t say we oughtnit" fhp .0.
And he, likewise, stared at the toe
or his own right shoe, which was.also
scuffing the ground. Herhert felt "
little better; this subdivision of his
aimicuities seemed to be working out
with surprising ease.

services of birds at 10 cents each—an
estimate ridiculously low, but used to
Insure a safe minimum—the birds of
the United States prevent an increase
in the annual damage done by insects
of more than $100,000,000.
“A particular farm may not have
so large a bird population as it should,
and therefore may not lie deriving the
benefit which is its due Tlie most
effective menus of increasing the num-
her of birds Is protection, and protec-
tion in Its best sense is afforded by

A lilt'd refuge may be established in
a small way on a farm or through a
co-operative bird preserve. In the lat-
ter ciise, flic plan has proved popu-
lar and successful as a means of es-
tablishing colonies of game birds, such
as pheasants.
“In creating n useful bird refuge.”
says the bulletin, "tlie first step is to
Insure adequate protection against all
bird enemies; the second, to see that
plenty of nesting sites suited to tlie
needs of the various birds are avail-
able; and tlie third, to improve food
and water supplies, if necessary."
Bird refuges also may be established
along roadways and right-of-ways,
with particularly attractive and bene-
ficial results.
"Hardly an agricultural post escapes
the attacks of birds," says the bulletin.
"Tlie alfalfa weevil has 45 different
bird enemies; the army worm, 43;
