That many insect pests are protected during the winter by useless vegeta- tion along country roadsides and that the insects may be destroyed and the undergrowth may be turned Into val- uable mutton 'and wool are facts not generally realized by farmers. The de- partment of agriculture's specialist in charge of cereal and forage insect in- vestigations recommends the pasturing of a flock ,of sheep in these places dur- ing the winter months as a most valu- able measure for destroying great num- bers of insects that might later in the spring spread to and breed in adjoining fields of grain. Where weeds are out- side of a fence or where no crop 18 growing in the field pasturing sheep in summer wi41, of course, keep down the full crop of insect harboring vegeta- tion. The amount of land covered by use- less matted vegetation growing along ditch banks, fences and roads is of no small extent in Araerica. This land, as WILL KILL MOPE FLIES THAN $8'WEIRTH.

A. small flock of sheep, given the range of fields and roads at this season of the year and where there are no growing crops, will dispose of near- ly all useless vegetation. Only a little grain need be added to fatten them. If the farmer does not wish to keep the sheep permanently be may often pur- chase "feeders" in carload lots at the large stockyards when they are just in condition to be fattened and later dis- pose of them. Strawberry," and also called similar Over the prairie country sheep will names, so as to fool the public into think - eat off grass and shoots of larger brush and plants, leaving the ground so bare of protection that insects either will not congregate there or gain protection there after the pasturing is done. In the east, where trees, bushes and brambles enter into consideration, if this brush is cleaned off in spring the sheep will in late fall dispose of the young growth that may push up through the summer. By herding the sheep along the roadsides and properly shifting them about according to con- dition in the fields all of this waste ground can be made to yield a return d cidentally add to Care of the Feet. Few people pay the proper amount a attention to their feet They require fully as much if not more attention than the hands. First and most emphatically bathe them every day. This rule goes without exception. The foot bath should consist of hot water and a few drops of toilet (or even household) ammonia. Take good care to Ole down the nails, and push back the cuti- cle on the toes just as the mani- curist does.

A striking Idea of the extent of the present war may be gained from thel statement that more than half the in- habitants of the world are engaged in it This applies to both land area and population. The area of the British empire ex- ceeds 13,000,000 square nalles, that of France is over 4,000,000, and Russia's is in excess of 8,000,000. Belgium, in - eluding her Kongo possessions; Japan, Servia and Montenegro increase the to- tal territory of the allies to nearly 27,000,000 square miles. Against this tremendous area that of the Germanic trio does not balk very large.. Ger- many, Austria and Turkey all told have but little more than 2,500,000. But the total area of the combatant In dysentery the discharges from the bowels follow each other with great rapidity, and sometimes become mixed with blood. Never neglect what at first appears to be a slight attack of diarrhoea or dysen- ery will surely set in. Cure the first symptoms by the use of Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry. Mrs. Martin Farraher, Dogherty Cor- ner, N.B., writes: "I can very strongly recommend Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry for dysentery and summer complaints. My little girl, at the age of two years, had the dysentery very bad. We had two doctors, but with no result. My mother brought me a bottle of "Dr. rowler's," and when half the bottle was used the little girl was running around playing with her dolls with great delight and joy to the family, for we did not think, she would ever get better." There are a number of preparations on the market to -day, claiming to be the same as "Dr. Powler's Extract of Wild nations foots up 29,566,416 square miles, while the grand total of the land in both hemispheres is only 55,550,000 square miles.

On account of their light weight sheep can be pastured in fields when the ground would be too Wet for heavier animals. Their small feet, en. toroologists find, are also more effectual in destroying insects on the surface of the ground than the hoofs of larger animals. The list of dangerous pests that win- ter along neglected roadside naargins is long and formidable. The chinch bug; the spring grain aphis, or "'green bug," and the clover and alfalfa seed chalets fly have all been found by in- vestigators wintering in great numbers in such undergrowth. Under certain favorable conditions in the fall the Hessian fly also breeds freely in quack grass. and in Canada one specialist has traced the western grass stem saw fly directly from this grass to the wheat fields. This saw fly does considerable damage to wheat in the Dakotas. 'Young stalk borers (Papapiema nitela) were noticed in very young oats as early as 1884 by the department's spe- cialist, under conditions indicating that the parent moths had spent the winter in the matted gess along the border of the fields. The department's investigator has successfully put the winter sheep grazing plan into practice with some three miles of roadside and eveu more of fence margins. Many successful farmers have also tried it with profit, but they have not always realized that in addition to the destruction of the useless vegetation they were destroying insect pests that would have become positively dangerous later on. ing they are getting the genuine.
