There are . two things about a `varnish
that you want to make . sure of "before
buying. One is: That it will. not turn.
white?The otherThat it will dry hard
and stay hard?
Neptunite is a really wonderful varnish.
One that is old in its endurance tests, but
a bit`new in .name to most folks. It will
not turnwhite from water hot or cold,
even, if the water be soapy or strong with
ammonia. Drieslhard and stays hard.
For your floors, use Neptunite ;Floor

the press of 'an_ Qdtbreak o1. ArmY
WOrtna lir two or 'three counties 01
the 'Province sand ,the insects
were beginning to (1,4 dama.ge to scout
of ,the • field crops,, 'Phohd sections
werq visited by representatives of the
Dominion :tad - Provincial Entente -
logical departments; and it was (11s -
:covered 'that the insect was not the
Army Worm 'but a common eu(-worn
known as the Spotted Cut -worn;
In Order that this post may be
recognized and controlled should it
appear next season, the following In-
formation fa; given:
Life History,
• The spotted cut -worm winters over
in the ,ground asa small brown or
blackish larva from ?/a, to about s/r,
of an inch in lengthy In May -and
early June this cutworm attacks the
crops sown in the field where it win
tered. In June it is full grown and
pupates -in the soil. Towards Tho end
of the month the Mottle "appear and
lay the este for the brood which is
now ,causing trouble. 'In about two
weeks or about the nth, of August
nearly all the 1arVae,oE this brood
will befullgrown and will have ceas-
ed feeding*. They will then pupate in
the ground, and the moths Will emerge
in September: and will lay their eggs
throughout any weedy places,: -From'
these' eggs will come the overwinter-
•ing larvae; referred-to`above,
iieseription.
The moths 'are a dull 'brown color
with a` wing., expanse - of about an
inch and a quarter. They fly. around
only at night or late in the evening,
The full grown cut -worms or larvae,
are about 11,.k Moires long, , stout
smooth and of a brownish or often
blackish oolor with ' several black
• conspicuous
spotsmoot the back,
towards the rear end. Thereis a
whitish or• light •colored Iine running
along'eathaide just below the brown
eolor of•ther back. The head is brown:'
This insect can readily be brought
under control by the use of. poison.
How to Control the' Attack.
In_ the evening -about sunset scat-
ter' thinly, .as ' if sowing seed grain,
the following-poison',bait wherever.
the cut -worms are present, and also
along the margin of: crops .nearly
that are tobe protected:
• Bran, 25' lbs.
Paris green (or white' arsenic), 1
molasses, .1, eat.
Lemons or oranges; 2 fruits.
Water. about 2 gals.
Mix the bran and the poison' very
thoroughly in- a tub or any, large.
receptacle, using either tlfe,hands ,or
a dung fork• for` the purpose.. Pour
the molasses' into the Water, run the
lemons or orange'' through a neat.
chopper, and throw both the juice
and the pulp into the water, Then
stir this thoroughly., Next pour the
'liquid. Over the.poison.bran and 'mix•
so thoroughly that it will fall through'
the fingers readily,, The above amount
is sufficient for one acre.
Weep Live Stock Out of Beech,
Take precautions 'that rib steak
gets access to the mixture before it
is applied, and' even ;after applying.
it is wise to keep the; stock out ,of-
the deld'for tour'or Ave days, though
there, is no -mush danger of their be-
ing • poisoned if the, above directions
are followed,: eatretnl!y. --L. Caesar,'

Salt the Fleas.
The best meaa'a of controlling fleas'
in most instances is very simple.;
:lr'leac 'aerially: originate in the,; base-
ment of the house,. or in, some eoyered
Dlace sncli as -woodsheds and, stables,
to which hogs, dogs, , or other suet
;Ushuaia have access.' The remedy is
to give the baaemont, shed, or other
breeding pisae it thorough eleaniag,
burn the litter, and then Sprinkle the
floor. or -ground in the building or.
shedwith eommoa salt. The salt
should be sprinkled .thickly enough
almost to cover the ground and
should, then be wet down with water.
,It should `not be wet someiently to
cause it to run, however, If there
'are about the ;place any houses, cribs,
or the like 'built on piles so that
hogs and other animals can go under
°thole; salt: should be applied there,
Generally speaking, it le fairly easy'
to determine' where the fleas ° trig
inate, and it' is usually such a place
its can be reached by -the gait: treat-
. It xnay be necessary,to repeat'
the operation two or three times at.
about three-day Intervale.
