There is so much to prairie Here on this good old earth, • Why tread the scoffer's ways, Why seek the mean and small? Why pry about for flaws, Pecking at one and all, Just as the silly dews? Look for big deeds and kind, Look for the fair and true, Keep not a narrow mind Scorning what others do. No one is wholly bad, No one is wholly good, Each one could make us glad If we but understood. There is so much that's fine, Worthy and splendid here, Seldom we ought to whine, Never ought we to sneer.

What is believed, after practical ap- plication, to be a thorough remedy against the very destructive an here- tofore uncontrolled onion fly bas been discovered by a number of Wisconsin scientists. It is a remedy which, if generally applied, will result in the saving of thousands of dollars to the growers, it is asserted. The remedy, , a spray. was evolved after some your years of experimenta- tion by Dr. H. 1S. Severin, .1. G. San- ders and C. It. Cleveland of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. Last summer the solution was tried out by onion ;;rowers in that state ruder ordinary Heid conditions. with the result that they gathered almost perfect crops, by far the finest grow' n for years. According to the best available in- formation. the onion dy was brought into this country from Europe early in the nineteenth century. As a maggot It chews its way into the onion just at or below the surface of the ground. The maggot is the larval stage of a tiny fly, resembling to some extent the common house fly, yet with a more pointed body of brownish color. When the seedling onions first appear above the ground in the spring the fly lays its eggs. The injurious larvae hatch from the eggs in four or five days. These larvae then burrow into the plant, and often all onions in a row for several, feet are killed off. Close study of the various stages of the life of the pest developed that a pe- riod of from ten to fourteen days -elapsed between the hatching of the fly and the time it started laying its eggs. This period was selected tor de- stroying the pest. Further experiments developed a killing poison bait spray. The latter is a solution of one-fifth of an ounce of sodium arsenate in a gallon of boiled water, to which later is added one pint of New Orleans molasses. As no attempt need he made to cover the foliage of tbe plants, as is the case in ordinary spraying, the applicatiob of the remedy will be Pound extremely simple. The work may be dope with a plain hand syringe or even a whisk broom dipped into a bucket containing the solution, the scattering of large drops being most preferable. Clean Water Trough. It is a problem to keep the ordinary open feed and water trough for 'fowls in a sanitary condition. If there is any possible way to do it the birds will sooner or later be into it with their feet. In case a top of any kind is put on the trough to prevent this the birds will roost on it. To overcome these dif- ficulties a Ramses poultryman has made an ingenious trough that, he says, keeps the Peed or water clean, as well as keeps the birds pfd the trough. It is four feet long and eight incites Wide. The end pieces are ten Inches high and the side beards; five inches. The swinging board is six inches wide and pivoted at each end by meant of a nail driven into it through a hole in each end piece. The nails are put la a little to one side of center. so as to keep the board ui*right. The moment a bird Jwmpaf on. to the board It will tura ovet and flop it elf. It is not long before the tot bedonie Wise to the situation and give It a w1dat berth ate resting placS. • ....wa FRUIT, THE GREAT PHY$1CIAN Healing Powers of Fruit Proved by "Fruit -a lives" The simple juices of apples, oranges, figs and prunes) when transformed into 'Fruit•a-tires' will relieve diseases of the Stomach, Liver, kidneys and Skin.

ADVERTISING IS NEWS OF A STORE. The average merchant does not grasp that when he places an advertisement in a newspaper he himself is publishing news, He would express surprise if you told him so. Nevertheless, what a merchant or store keeper has to tell the public is the latest information about the events in his store - in other words, news about his businsss. In one respect the merchant has an advantage over the publiaher of the paper which carries his news for him, for the publisher of the newspaper may print the news that has happe ed -no more, while the mer- chant credtes and prepares the happen. ings which his newspaper advertising describes. He may make these store happenings a series of routine sales - events, or he may snake them a series of surprises. His„ advertising may be thus made merely serviceable to the readers of a newspaper, or it may be made deeply inteesting, and a continued story of enterprise, of active, alert and respon- sible public service. , If he keeps before him the idea of news in his advertising, the merchant cannot fail to attract the public; while at the same time he will be able to make an easy task of the problem of using his advertising space to the best advantage. -- From the Vancouver World.

Bad germination in seed corn eom- bined with prolonged cold weather at time of planting has been the cause of much disappointment this season to en- silage growers, The seed corn growers of south-western Ontario were almost equally disappointed through being un- able to find a marketfor theirthorough- ly-dried corn of strong vitality. Many samples were taken by seed inspectors and the investigations trade indicate clearly that at least 76 per cent. of the cause for a poor stand can be traced to the ensilage growers buying low priced seed. Unfortunately high priced seed is not always a guarantee of high quality, but low priced seed is possible only with corn that has had no special care in curing for seed. The farmer who gets $1.50 per bus. of 70 lbs. on the ear for corn taken out of his corn crib id the spring has more profit than the farmer who receives 12.50 a bus, of 70 lbs. on the ear for corn that has been kiln - died or rack -dried in special corn -drying buildings. If harvested in dry weather and kept in narrow cribs through the winter, the Cheap corn may give a fairly satis- factory stand of plants with thick seeding and good soil and weather con- ditions. But too many farmers have learned to their sorrow the very serious risk they take in using corn wintered in this way. It is always advisable for growers to proeure seed corn on the ear as during moist weather shelled corn in transportation or storage will absorb tnoisture and mold within a very few days, thus destroying its vitality, --Seed Branch, Ottawa.

If the baby is given evetihalf a chance he is likely to keep in good health, If mothers aould give their infanta every possible chance then infant mortality would be cut down to almost nothing. •rhia is comparativelysimple if mothers will only adopt certain preventive methods. There are many don'ts, but here are somethings a mother ought to do: Do feed the baby regularly. This is of prime importance to its health. Do protect your baby from ignorant midwives and nursemaids. Call in a good doctor if you want to know some- thing about your baby quick13. Do keep baby's thumb out of • his mouth. Don't let that habit start. It may deform his•mouth for life, Do be sure that you get only fresh milk for baby, but not the richest milk, Do see that the milk is delivered in bottles and is put on ice immediately. Warm milk readily spoils and spoiled milk will snake the baby sick. Do see that new rubber nipples are boiled before used for the first time. All nipples after using should be care- fully washed in soap and water and kept covered in a glass containing boric acid or baking soda and water. 1 They should be thoroughly rinsed be- fore using. Do see that baby's bottle is thorough- ly rinsed when emptied and then kept' filled with water. Before preparing the i food for the day they should be thor- oughly washed with hot suds and placed for ten minutes in boiling water. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S ' CASTOR IA FALL FAIR DATES.

How many men, if asked how many languages there are iu the world. could give anything like an accurate answer? The average man's knowledge or ability to speak languages rarely exceeds two besides his native tongue. It may appear strange. but !•t is nev- ertheless true, that there are over 4,000 languages spoken by mankind. while the nurnber of dialects exceeds this. '!'here are more than sixty vocabularies In Brazil, and iu Mexico the. Nahua is broken up into some 700 dialects. There are hundreds In ltorneo. and in Aus- tralia there is no classifying the com- plexities. Let us assume that fifty dialects. on an average, belong to each lauguage and we have the colossal total or 200,000 linguistic abilities. A century hence the probability is that there will only be four languages of importance In the world. Central Europe may produce a newer and more straightforward German language. Im- perial English may reign alone over the North Amerit'a0 continent, while of more businesslike Spanish will be used in South American states. Then Russia may take on some more rich Slavonic dialect, which wilt blend the races of eastern Europe end central Asia into a harmonious federation. So that iu future these four languages will enter into what may be a never ending competition, -1 Exchange. She Wet Frank.

Sear - oral years ago, when the se called diee ease• was Drat discovered, it was sUP- posed to be distributed only In a few parts of the country, and attempts were made to distribute It into all of the localities where the chinch bug was present. After careful study the disease was found to be merely the work of a parasitic plant or it fungus, which develops from seeds or spores similar to other plants and lives on the body of tbe bug. These spores are microscopic objects and, like the seeds of plants. dormant remai n dor ant unfit the proper weather conditions come, The spores require continued warm, •sultry weather for spro utin; and dene o P ig. These conditions usually occur about wheat cutting time. During the dry summers no spores sprout, and the die. ease does not develop. Tile spores are now abundant every- where awaiting proper weather condi- tions. They are in, the air, in the soil and on the bodies of the bugs, but will not sprout until conditions are exactly right, The disease will develop on chinch bugs collected anywhere if they are put in a waren, damp jar for about ten days. It is merely a waste of time to scatter a few bugs which have been killed by the disease. That merely means that a few more spores are scat- tered in the field to remain dormant the same as the billions already pres. ent The disease is very effective when it works, and if it works at all it will do so without bells. The thing to do now is not to waste time with the disease, but be reedy for the campaign with dust or .Chemical barriers when the bugs migrate at wheat cutting time. One should make the first move and not wait until the bugs have started to emigrate. Smut Treatment For Oats. Smut is the great enemy of the oat crop. Smut tau be controlled by treats tug the seed with formalin: The treat- ment is simple and inexpensive. The formalin may be bought at any drug store at from 50 cents to $1 a pint, and that will do for treating about forty bushels of seed. Directions for the treatment of seed oats are as follows: To one pint of formalin, which should be bought in sealed bottles to insure ifs being full strength, add forty gal- lons of water. Mix thoroughly and ap- S O'r 05' OATS AT RIOHT; HEALTHY OATS AT Leer. ply to the seed oats at once, this amount of solution being sufficient for forty bushels of seed. Spread the grain on a door or in the bottom of a wagon bed. Use a common garden sprinkler to put on the solution and sprinkle until wet, mix the grain with a shovel and sprinkle again. Every grain must be thoroughly wet with some of the mixture or the smut will not be killed. After sprinkling put the grain in a pile and cover with blankets or sacks for ten to twelve hours or overnight This will kill some smut which otherwise would not be touched. Spread the grain out and sow as soon as sufficiently dry. -Kan- sas Farmer. Applying Manure. Manure is most valuable when it is fresh. For that reason, then, it should be hauled to the field as soon as weath- er and soil conditions permit. By aU means, though, never drive on. to the field when there is danger of injuring the physical condition of the -soil. Unloading manure in piles on the field is bad practice, It means extra work, If the pile is allowed to remain the first heavy rain is going to leach the greater part of the soluble plant food into the soil directly beneath. This makes spots in the field. The enrichened spot grows crops that ma- ture later, and one gets an uneven crop, WIth the cereals, lodging often results, and much grain is lost. For hauling manure properly the manure spreader Is invaluable. It not only does better work, but ft is a means of utilizing horsepower in place of hand labor, In these days of sear• efts+ of help that,point cannot be over. looked. Manure applied with a *rola, er net only goes tatther, but because It is Spread more evenly end irate fine. lq dlvtded it produces greater return* than When spread with a fork.
