Vermin cause considerable annoy-

large numbers is destructive to pro-
em. If the swine have a good wal-
low hole they can tree themselves of
the pest during the summer, but
without' the assistance of a wallow,
souse other aid must be given or the
lice will nourish. The pigs will be

racked through the rubbing of the
swine in tr.eir attempt to free them-

Wood Cellulose Furnishes the lour trees Thread.'
Wood cellulose is the tree material
used by the manufacturers of silk.
tW' lustre silk of commerce, to make
the silken threads that we all like to
tooth. 'The lumber -jack cuts the
tree, the pulp -maker by chemical pro-
cesses reduces the wood to takey
white cellulose. The next is nitration
This ie done by treating the cellulose
with 'a mixture of nitric and sul-
phurtc acids-in'solution, taking care
not .to overdo the digestion process.
and then thoroughly washing the
Pulp free from the active acid agents.
The nitrated cellulose la then mixed
with alcohol and ether, reducing it
to the condition of viscous collodion
Next it is tittered carefully and forced
through minute orifices in a glans
plate and on into a water bath where
the line threads solidify. As the
threads solidify such are passed on
over a rower and into another bath
containing a reducing agent known
as ammonium sulphide.
Dyed and Woven Like Silk.
Passing on from this bath our
silken threads go over heated drums
and spindles to be dried and twisted
into larger threads. To have the
silken threads we must give them
color, so into the dye bath they go.
This done, over the drums the colored
threads pass to dry, by a route that
leads to the spool or spindle. Deft

ing machine, an artist's mind con-
trols those human fingers, which in
turn control the forces that unite the
colored silken threads into articles
of wearing apparel such as sweater

How the Centanduation of Farm
Wella can be Removed.
There are thousands of shallow
wells and cisterns on Lerma that ars
poorly protected against conttimina-
tau. Must of them are poorly pro-
tected by ooards with cracks between
them that allow the auriace drainage
and filth to get in. A good concrete
top that will protect the water supply
can be made by anyone with only a
title eitort and at a small expense.
it only takes one sack of cement, two
cubic feet of sand, and three and a
ualf cubic feet of screened gravel to
make a circular top four feet in di-
ameter and Lout' inches thick.
The shape of the top would depend
on the well, its location and the taste
of the owner. If it is to be circular,
lay out a circle on a smooth, levet
piece of the ground, the exact site of
the top desired. Carefully excavate
inside the circle to a depth of four
inches, this to be the form and is
much more easily constructed than
one of wood. Cut out a cylindrical
block of wood and place where the
the pump pipe will pass through.
Provide four bolts to fasten the base
et the pump to concrete top, and
pieces of woven wire for reinforcing
across and two pieces of smooth wire
for the edge of the top.
Man and the Silk Worm.
What Is the connection between
artificial silk and natural alik. It is
very close; so very close that
the expert chemist is frequently call-
ed in to decide on samples and de-
termine if the product of man's art
and industry or that of the silk
worm. Man goes to the tree for his
raw material, so does the silk worm.
Man uses chemical agents and a ma-
chine of his'own invention; the silk
worm can't help it since nature gave
it a body structure and a digestive
system that would convent the green
leaf of trees to silken cocoon cover-
ing threads.
Chemically These Products Much the
Shine.
Chemically the product of man's en-
deavor and the silk -worm's work are
much the same. Few will know at
first glance if your wooden stock-
ings, wooden necktie or wooden
sweater coat were made possible by
the arts of a man or the green crawl-
er so much loved by the people of the
Orient.

Needful Minerals In Feed.
The common dairy feeds contain-
ing the most lime are the legume
hays, cowpea, clover, alfalfa and soy
bean, that from cowpeas containing
the most. Those which contain the
most phosphorus are wheat bran,
wheat middlings and linseed meal in
the order given. None of the con-
centrates contain as much lime as the
legumes do, and no roughage con-
tains as much phosphorus as the con-
centrates named.
Essential to Milk Cow Dry.
Milking cows dry is essential.
When milk is left in the udder after
each milking, the glands will gradu-
ally slow up on secreting milk and
ultimately the cow will dry 'up. It
pays to spend a• few extra minutes
stripping the udder to make certain
that all the milk has been extracted.
THE ONION IN OUR DIET
This simple garden vegetable can
hardly be valued too highly or used
too freely. From some peculiarity of
the onion, its nourishing properties
more than double those of the potato.
Without regard to its peculiar flavor
the onion should be much more eaten
than it is. An eminent physician once
said, "If health is desirable, and if
you wish to live long, eat onions."
Onions are said to be the best
nervine known and tone up the
system of one suffering from ner-
vous prostration ss nothing else can
do.
Another physician says. "The saf-
est and quickest prescription for
clearing the ,blood, is to eat a raw
onion finely minced, at breakfast.
Finely chopped unions, eaten with
salt and vinegar as a salad, are an
excellent tonic to the stomach and
especially beneficial to those suffering
'from dyspepsia. its value, too, as a
poultice, in cases of inflamation, is
well known.
If onions are so valuable and the
above are facts which cannot be dis-
puted, not one is eaten where ten
ought to be.
An old lady who had lived to the
remarkable age of 104 years, when
asked a short time before her death,
to what causes she attributed her long
life, among other simple and health-
ful rules given, one was that she had
eaten onions every day of her life
since she could remember. The onion
certainly should have a prominent
place among our garden vegetables
and upon our table.

It was a big day in Paris when the
notables arrived. Seven big automo-
biles ranging from limousines to
trucks were in the train. They were
loaded with passengers and tents and
driven by a group of men in khaki
uniforms. Paris, Michigan, has seen
tourists before, but netter did so many
come at once. They purchased close
to 100 gallons of gas and many quarts
of oil --a record sale for the garage
man.
A crowd gathered to give the cara-
van the once or twice over, and some-
body suggested that "that guy in the
back seat looks like Hank Ford."
"That is Henry Ford—by George,
it is," was the assertion from an-
other. "And that must be Mrs. Ford
—and, say—I read that Thomas Edi -
'son and Harvey Firestone are with
hint. That's them."
"By George, it is."
At this the man in the back seat
asked the crowd if anyone knew the

crowd said in chorus, "You bet," and
pointed the way, and in a moment
Mrs/Bisbee, 77 years old, was smil-

How to Handle the. Concrete.
Provide a platform and mix the
concrete to a quaky consistency, not
too wet. Use a proportion of one
sack of cement to two cubic feat of
sand and three and a half cubic feet
of screened gravel or crushed rock.
opriukie the form so it will out ab-
sorb much moisture from the con-
crete, till the form about half full
of concrete, place the reinforcing and
set the bolts, and then fill the form
with concrete. Finish the surface eo
that it is nightly higher where the
pump will be placed and with a
slight slope to one side so that no
water will drain back lnto.the well.
To cure or season the top, after
(he concrete sets, cover with a layer
of sand and keep wet for a week or
ten days. After about'two weeks it
may be taken out and set in place on
the curb. Where the curb la water-
tight below the—ground surface and
it extends a. foot or eighteen inches
above the surface with a concrete top
such as described, the danger of sur-
face contamination will be reduced
to a minimum.
How to Purify the Water.
if the water is offensive to sight,
smell or taste, it is•in all probability
unsafe, or at least highly objection-
able, for domestic use. In such cases
bulling all the water required for
drinking purposes is a great safe-
guard, for it will kill any disease
germs that may be present, but it
will not make the water a good one.
Half a small, teaspoonful of hypo-
chlorite (-chloride of lime), rubbed
up with a little water and well stirred
tato a barrel of the water, is another
precaution for the destruction of
germ life, that is nowadays advo-
cated. But a water impure from the
presence of excretal matter Is not to
be recommended, even when one or
other of these precautions is careful-
ly carried out.
Roots Desirable for Cows.
Mange's or roots make a very de-"
affable feed for dairy cows. The
greatest objection is the labor In-
volved in growing, harvesting and
storing them.
Good cream is clean cream, kept
cool.
Fresh Water and Shade Aid Pork
Production.
Good live stock men agree that
Plenty of fresh water and shade are
important factors in the successful
propuctlon of pork. Hogs will drink
often If water is available. Water
helps digestion and promotes fat pro -
election. A mineral mixture of char-
coal,
har
coal, hard wood ashes, air slacked
lime or ground limestone and salt in
front of the hogs wills keep them in
better tone.

A FINE COMPLEXION
Can Be Had Through Keeping The
Blood Rich and Pure.
A 'girl's complexion is something
more than a matter of concern to her
vanity. It is an indication of the state
01 her health. Pallor in a growing
girl means a thinning of the blood.
Eruptions mean impurities in the
blood. Mothers should be watchful of
their daughters' complexions and see
to it that these signs are corrected—
not covered up.
When a girl in her teens becomes
pale and sallow, especially if, at the
same time, she shows an inclination to
tire easily, a listlessness and inatten-
tion to her work or studies, she needs
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a tonic which
directly and specifically corrects the
condition from which she is suffering.
A chemical analysis of the blood of
such a gil would show it to be defi-
cient in just the elements that Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills can supply, but
the physical signs are plain. The girl
with a bad complexion, or who suffers
from occasional headaches, who is
easily tired and breathless after slight
exertion, should begin taking Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills at once. A good ap-
petite, sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks
follow the fair use of this medicine.
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills through any dealer in medicine
or by mail at 50 cents a box from

CANADIAN FRUIT ON EXHIBI-
TION IN ENGLAND
The Imperial Fruit Show, which is
to be held in Manchester, England, at
the end of October and the early days
of November, has special, significance
for Canada this; year. The British
apple crop will ,be light, while Can -
ada will have a fine lot of fruit to
dispose of. Canadian fruit is to be
well represented at this show, not
only in the competitive Overseas See-
tion, but the Fruit Branch of the
Dominion Department of Agriculture
will make a display that will be of
special significance. Fruit inspectors
of the Department, it is reported, by
the Fruit Commissioner, are at prec-
ent looking over commercial orchards
in the different parts of Canada with
a view to locating the sources of the
samples that are to be displayed. The
Branch will have an imposing booth
, which will contain pictorial and other
representations of the Canadian fruit
' industry. From the standpoint of the
overseas apple grower, Canada is giv-
en special consideration as the Board
of judges will contain a Canadian re-
presentative who will be nominated by
the Fruit Commissioner. The mem-
bers of the Board will consist of three
men, one each from Great Britain
and Canada, and a neutral judge.
Schedules of classes and entry
