'ate European Corn Borer
Great damage to corn crops in certain sections
of Ontario has been caused in recent years by the
European Corn Borer. To check this pest, follow
closely recommendations of the Department.
Its Life History
The moth appears about the
middle of June and lasts until
about the last week in July.
Egg Laying
In this period the female
lays its eggs on the undersides
of the corn leaves, preferably
on the most advanced corn.
The Borer
The damage is done by the
borer stage. The "worm" devel-
ops from the egg, eating into
the stalks and ears. It winters
in the stubble or stalks.
The Pupa
The worm changes to the
pupa, which in turn develops
into the moth about the second
week of June or later.

.TREATING RINGWORM
A Parasite Skin Disease Affect-
ing Calves.
Easily Spread by Contact—Symptoms
Described -- Troi nit.. Recom-
r.r
mended -,.Strict liiieelai .on oY Af-
fected Animals Necessary,
(Contributed by Ontario Department of
Agriculture, 'Porbao.
The term "Ringworm" is applied
to a skin disease of animals which is
caused by a parasite of a fungus na-
ture, and the disease results onlyby
an animal becoming affected with
this parasitic fungus or ringworm
parasite.
The vitality of the ringworm Par-
asite is very great, and often, after
removal from an animal, it will live
and remain active for a great length
of time in a stable.
Ringworm may be conveyed or
spread either by direct contact with
affected animals, or indirectly by
various intermediate agencies, such
as infected bedding, blankets, curry
combs and brushes, which have been
in use.
Calves and young cattle are most
commonly affected, although they are
more especially when kept confined
in close, damp, winter quarters,
which are predisposing factors.
Adult cattle and horses are less
commonly affected ,although they are
also liable to be attacked.
On . certain premises, where ring-
worm occurs among calves, the para-
site may remain on the walls, stalls,
posts of the building and fences, anti
the disease may be continued on the
premises and conveyed to the calves
from year to year, each winter.
Symptoms of Ringworm.
The parasites attack and destroy
the hair, so that the disease becoihes
manifested by the formation of cir-
cular bare patches of skin. The af-
fected parts of the skin become scaly
in appearance and encrusted with
scabs of a silvery gray color, and
when the scabs aro removed a raw
bleeding surface is exposed.
Among yearlings and calves the
disease occurs most frequently, and
is noticed to affect the regions around
the eyes, ears, neck and shoulders,
and, in some cases in calves, may
chiefly affect the skin around the
mouth and lips.
In horses, ringworm is chiefly seen
affecting foals and young Horses, and,
in them, is noticed to more orten af-
fect the upper parts of the body, such
as over the shoulders, the back, loins
and croup, and along the side of the
neck and head.
Ringworm is also transmissable
from affected animals to human
beings, so that a person should guard
against this possibility.
Treatment of Ringworm.
Animals affected with ringworm
should be separated from non -affected
animals until they have been cured
from the disease, in order to prevent
its spread.
The first steps in treatment should
be to remove all of the bedding and
litter from the stalls each day, and
have it burnt and replaced with fresh
clean. bedding. The curry combs,
brushes, blankets and other articles
in use with affected animels should
be disinfected either by boiling or
soaking in a strong ahtiseptic solu-
tion, such as a 8% solution of car-
bolic acid or creolin, made by adding
three parts of the drug to 100 parts
of warm water.
Stables occupied by the affected
animals should be cleaned and disin-
fected with limewash and carbolic
acid. If these precautions are fol-
lowed out, the affected animals can
then be readily cured of the disease
by thoroughly washing the affected
parts with warm water and soap to
remove all the encrusted scabs and
matted hair,. The hair around the
margins of the affected parts should
be closely clipped. After washing
the affected parts, they should be al-
lowed to .dry, and then dressed with
tincture of iodine. In using the tinc-
ture of iodine,. it should be mixed in
an equal amount of clean water and
applied to the affected parts once a
day by means of a small brush, or a
cotton swab, until all of the affected
parts are completely coated over. The
iodine treatment should be applied
daily until all of the affected -parts
are healed.
Another good preparation for the
treatment of ringworm is a mixture
composed of equal parts of tincture
of .iodine, carbolic acid and water,
and which is applied in the same
manner as the fodine itself.
Another useful remedy for the
treatment of ringworm is sulphur
ointment. This is made by mixing
one part of sulphur and two parts of
lard together, to form an ointment.
The ointment is then smeared over
the affected parts each day until a
cure is affected.
While the affected animals are
under treatment they should be kept.

Horse Stamps Foot.
Q.: I have a horse that stamps his
hind feet as if they were itchy. What
will cure him?
Reply: The stamping is a sign of
itching. Clip theehair off and wash
the limbs with warm water and cas-
tile soap, using a stiff brush for the
purpose. Then, after -drying thor-
oughly apply a mixture composed of
sublineed sulphur 1 ounce, oil of tar,
1 ounce, raw linseed oil, 16 ounces;
mix. Shake well and apply. The
dressing should be repeated 4 days
later. Two or .three applications are
asuelly sufficient.
No family has a right to purchase
any meat until each meniber has at
least a pint of milk daily.
Margot Asquith
Talks Again
Mrs. Asquith, in the second vol
urne of her autobiography, "gives
up, in her own words, "balls and
Parties and throws herself into do-.
mestic life." From notes made at
the time for future reference she
finds that she, on her marriage, had
resolved "to dedicate tiers.:f w her -
children." This reaunef ttion of the
world took effect as soca: es e'er erst
child saw the light; ,tar, she tells us,
"Lady Harcourt :came to see my baby
the day after she was born, and.
Lord Rosebery, .Arthur Balfour, Mil
ner,, George% Cu *z sa and' Randall
Davidson came whoa I was allowed
to lie on the sofa." But she has been
more unfortunate, or more careless,
with her account of her married life
than with the eters of her girlhood;
previously p i, l,e ..1. In this earlier
volume, and i.r various periodic
cals, the public had learned from
herself the d:-s.r.tctive effect of her
youthful beauty; hers, it appears,
had been a face which in a more
heroic age would also have launched
a thousand ships, like Helen's; for
she not only received the homage of
immediate passion from numberless
men, too inconspicuous to be named,
but (so she disclosed to a surprised
world) some of the most renowned
charmers of the previous generation,
like Harry Cust, bad been deeply in-
fatuated with her;. uselessly, of
course, for her virtue had been not
less unique than her loveliness, ac-
cording to the London Daily Mail.
No one had ever suspected this
inflammatory power, and the iufari r-
ation created some curiosity to hear
the romantic story from the victims
themselves, as well as from this re-
tired enchantress. But not one of
them was alive; perhaps they had
succumbed to the pangs iuflicted by
the shafts of her maiden beauty. At
any rate, they were all dead when.
her book appeared. Yet it would
have been interesting to hear from
Harry Cust, in whatever - Elysian
fields he charms the dead as he did
the living, an account from his own
lips of how he came to reject the
adoration of the faires' women of his
time for the young lady whose photo-
graphs she herself supplies. But with
this volume she was more unlucky
while it was appearing in a Sunday
paper. She tells an anecdote about
the "great South African millionaire,
Robinson," This anecdote, like all
of her anecdotes, puts her in a high-
ly favorable light; associatign with
millionaires, yet superior to them by
virtue of her .finer culture; con-
descending to men of humble
origin, but mindful of her own
greater advantages. Robinson, how-
ever (and apologies are ;fere offered
to him forreferring to him, as Mrs.
Asquith does, without any prefix of
politeness, as if he were a footman);
is still alive.
There is the same limitless
effrontery in this as in her earlier
writings, the same disclosure and
sale of private conversations, let-
ters and friendships. Indeed, she
has proclaimed her intention of con-
tinuing to turn the personalities of
her existence into coin, till a ` p:o-
vision is made for her Husband as
ex -Prime Minister sufficient to
satisfy her scale of expenditure. It
has not yet occurred to her that
want of money does not justify the
betrayal of the privacies of life,
privacies which would be quite
tedious if they did not concern the
Prime Minister of England. In this
volume, however, her lucrative
frankness takes another turn. It
is less domestic. For example, we
hear no more of "God's own," a
description used by her to indicate
the circle of sycophants who fawned
on her in Downing Street end who
were thoroughly exploited by tier in
return.
A substantial and permanent addi-
tion to the gaiety of nations could
justly be anticipated from her. But
she has taken a different turn.
Again there are a few bedroom
scenes, but they are neither scab-
rous nor entertaining, She turns to
polities and, . quite involuntarily,
throws considerable light en the
events in which her husband played
.so great a part. For the truth' will
out even in an autobiography. We
know, from such evidence as that
supplied by the Dardanelles Commis-
sion, of the sluggish inactivity of Mr.
Asquith when thousands were dying
in Gallipoli. We learn from this vole
ume the complement of this fact, that
his wife, self-confident, restless and
futile, profited by his apathy to take
his place. She appears constantly
interfering, by letter and act, in
every department of politics. So com-
pete is the usurpation that his official
and her private correspondence be-
come indistinguishable, and she pro-
duces Lord Morley's letter of resign-
ation to Mr. Asquith in 1914 as one
of her own letters, without consider-
ing the deduction• that must be neces-
sarily drawn from this confusion.
• Hardly anyone can doubt, 'after
reading her account of the .Maurice
letter in May, 1918, that its publica-
tion was part of a cabal in which
Mr. Asquith, the leader of the Op-
position, combined with Sir William
Robertson, Gen. Maurice, ' and the
discontented Conservatives to over-
throw Mr. Lloyd George, as they had
done in February, when the attempt
had ended in the prosecution of a
well-known London Conservative
.daily. But most interesting et all is
the story of Mr. Asquith's• tell at
the end of 1916. The real reason of
his overthrow emerges, 'quite against
Mrs. Asquith's intention... Whatever
demerits may utlimately be set down
to their account, we owe ' a debt
which we can never estimate to the
late Lord Northcliffe and Mr. Lloyd
George for dragging from the sea of
authority, not only the feeble and in-'
!ert Mr. Asquith, but also, as she her-
self makes manifest, .for having at
the same moment deposed and rid
us this meddling wife,
