Cut Worms mad White Grubs.
Greyish white grubs welch work at
the surface ol the soil cutting off the
plants. Tbey may be trapped by
spreading a mixture of poison bran
over the surface of the soil close to
the plants. A pail of bran with suffi-
cient parts green to highly color it,

lon of water. This solution, may be
used on all plants on 'which Aphis
are found.
CELERY. Blight. Black spots
appear on the foliage followed by
wilting of the plant and a soft root
on the stock. Spray each week with
a mixture of Bordeaux mixture cov-
ering the entire plant.

Black and yellow striped beetle
which feeds ravenously on the ten-
der leaves of the plant in the very
early stage of growth. Dust leaves

My grandmother had twelve chil-
dren, and one uncle undertook to teach
me the art of worship. He used to
lead nae to the sandbanks of the Mis-
souri river, where he would set fire
to a pile of driftwood, and then, tak-
ing me by the band, sing sacred songs
to the fire and river. In the mean-
time he threw into them offerings of
tobacco, red feathers, and sometimes
oak twigs. I never leatew the ialeaning
of these offerings, but I always felt
that some living thing actuated both
the fire and the river.
Another uncle came to visit us peri-
odically, and every time he came my
brother or I suffered at his hands.
Sometimes he would rush to the
spring, carrying me horizontally under
his arm and would plunge my head
into the water until I almost suffo-
cated.
His coranaon form of disciplints was
to let rue hang by my bands on the
cross poles of the wigwam until my
arms ached. My body writhed before
I dropped. This uncle seemed to like
best to command nay older brother to
tie zny hands and feet with a rope.
Theta he would order me to resist—
an ordeal that would make us both
ern. In the winter he would also
sometimes roll us in snow naked.-
