PESTS DESTROYED BY SHEEP

How They May Be Used to Kill Win
tering Insects. •
(Prepared by the 'United States depart-
ment of agriculture.)
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-

a rule, cannot be burned over because
of the danger to -fences; besides, much
of the common blue grass thriving in
such localities is always too green to
burn and serves to protect the thick
mulch of dead grass which accumu-
lates beneath from year to year and
forms an ideal refuge for all manner of
pests. 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

this brush is cleaned off in spring the

EXTENT OF THE WAR.
More Than Haff the World and Half
Its People Are Involved.
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

in both hemispheres is only 55,550,000
square miles.
The population of the allied coun-

enemies'countries 162,920,00(5, a total

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

three miles of roadside and eveu more
of fence margins. Many successful
farmers have also tried it with profit,
