Mother Shipton’s
Prophecies
Because of the uncanny
in which the prophecies of
Shipton have been coming
during recent years, considerable at
tention has been attracted to this
strange creature of four centuries
ago. Even those who have in the
past scoffed at the weird predictions
of this ancient “witch” are now stir
red by curiosity to wonder what will
next occur in this direction.
Mother Shipton, we are told, was
born in Yorkshire, England, in July
1488 ‘and died about 1559. In books
of information she is described as
a half mythical English prophetess,
baptized Ursula Southie], who later
married Tony Shipton, a builder,
According to traditions, she was
child of Agatha Shipton and
Devil.
The following extracts from
amazing prophecies were taken from
a scrap book made more than forty
years ago and owned by a Rochester
woman, says the Rochester Demo
crat and Chronicle:

Bilious Attacks
Liver Complaint
Biliousness is just another name
for a clogged or sluggish liver. It
is a very common complaint, but can
bo quickly remedied by Stimulating
the flow of bile. This softens the
accumulated mass, the poisons are
carried out of the system, and the
liver and bowels are relieved and
toned up.
Milbum’s Laxa-Liver Pills quicken
and enliven the sluggish liver, Open
ing up every channel, by causing a
free flow of bile and thus cleansing
the liver of the elogging impurities.
They are small and easy to take.

CARROT RUST FLY
METHODS OF C ONTROL
Carrot Rust flies emerge from the
ground in Spring and lay their eggs
upon or in the soil immediately sur
rounding the carrot seedlings. The
maggots,, when they hatch, kill many
of the small carrots or burrow into
the roots of the large ones. Tunnels
are formed in the roots, causing
much damage to the plants. There
are two generations of carrot rust
flies every year, the first one in late
May and early June, the second one
appearing in late August and early
September. By delaying planting
until the middle of June, injury
from the first generation will be
avoided because by that time the
flies have mostly disappeared.
When carrots are planted early
for the summer market, the rust fly
can be controlled by watering the
seedlings twice with corrosive sub
limate, used in the strength of one
ounce to 10 gallons of wdtOr. The
first application should be made
during the first week in June, and
the second a week later, pouring
the solution over the plants. Care
should be taken to wet the plants
thoroughly, as well as two or three
inches of the
lings. The

The Highland dancing with pupils

with the. final well done dancing
of the Sailor’s Hornpipe by two girls
