TOPEKA PLAINDEALER THE PYTHIAN TEMPLE IN SAINT LOUIS Grand Chancellor Lloyd is One of the Ablest Men in the West and a Financier...He Will Assist Kansas City Pythians in Building a Temple. Historical Society State House Fifteenth Year. No. 38. That Extreme Heat Ju THE PYTHIAN T IN SA The Editor Visits Th ment to Negro E Grand Chancellor Lloyd i Men in the West and a Assist Kansas City Building a T While in Saint Louis Saturday and Sunday, I made a thorough inspection of the Pythian Temple at 3137 Pine street, conducted by Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd, accompanied by Prof. A. C. Maclin, G. V. C., and principal of Dorsglass school at Hanibal, Prof. B. Γ Adams, G. L., Misses Fowler, of Columbia and Ophelia Wells, of St. Louis, made a complete inspection of the entire building. This magnificent structure is truly credit to the Negroes of Saint Louis, and an everlasting monument to the Pythians of Missouri. The building is well equipped, modernly furrihed, and is a fitting compliment to the heroic and untiring energy of the worthy Grand Chancellor of Missouri, Mr. A. W. Lloyd, who is now serving his fourteenth year as Grand Chancellor. The Lythians of Missouri are doing a great and noble work for the race and have demonstrated beyond all question, the Negro's ability to manage and control great corporate and to unite the race for education and moral uplift. The increase in membership under Mr. Lloyd, assisted by an able and loyal set of Grand Lodge officers, has been phenomenal from about 700 in 1900, with a small endowment to begin with the order has rapidly increased to a membership of 5,285 with an endowment system of $200, $300 and finally $501. The order has paid up to 1912, 666 death claims amounting to $129, 276.73 saying nothing of sick benefits paid or even burial funds which has amounted to over $6,575.00. The endowment policies carried are $200, $300 and $500. Missouri has one hundred lodges in good standing and fourteen companies of U. R., with a membership of 600 soldiers, three companies of Cadets with world's champions. Missouri also has seventy-nine Courts with a membership of 2,673 Calantheans. The purchase of the "Temple" by Mr. Lloyd has proven a financial success as well as furnishing a home for the Pythians of Missouri, who can find a home and protection. The receipts for rentals and other resources are about $2,600 a year. Several hundred dollars is now being spent for improvements, such as papering, painting and cleaning. The building is entirely free from debt and is valued at $12,000. The Giand Lodge finance on hand amounts to $10,652.87. Grand Chancellor Lloyd has just returned from an extended trip to the East, in company with Mrs. Lloyd. He visited New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D. C. At the latter place he called upon Post Master Bearleson in the interest of Negio railway mail clerks, and was assured that the matter would be given proper credit. Mr. Lloyd also attended the Supreme Lodge lesson at Baltimore and expressed himself as well pleased with the meeting. He returns greatly inspired and determined to make Pythianism in Missouri stronger and a more potent force in racial uplift. The Missouri Pythian Temple is neatly kept by a hired custodian. The lodges furniture, etc., being up-to-date and in keeping with the dignity of the order. Mr. Lloyd deserves great credit for housing all the Pythians of Saint Louis under one roof or "Castle," being the only Negio in the United States who has succeeded in such a herculean effort. The purchase of this Temple was the personal effort of the Grand Chancellor and his official staff and it is a better paying proposition than to have that amount of money in the bank at four per cent interest. Grand Chancellor Lloyd would like to see the Grand TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 19, 1913. Lodge help the local lodges of Kansas City build an imposing structure that would be a credit to Kansas City and an honor to the Pythians of the state, around such a building could be gathered a large number of Negro enterprises which would be worth thousands of dollars to them. He thinks it would be a better investment for surplus money on hard than a small amount of interest that the banks are paying. The Pythians of Saint Louis represent the enterprising Negroes of Missouri, St. Louis having eighteen lodges with a membership of 1,800, seven companies of U. R. with 600 members, seventeen courts with a membership of 1,250 members. All of which may be attributed to the push and energy of Mr. G. C. Loyd. Missouri cordially invites worthy traveling Pythians to call and see what great things are being done by the order for the race. A beautiful Pythian Temple, a splendid and perfectly safe endowment system and the source of Pythian light and literature, then her Grand Lecturer Prof. B. F. Adams, author of three books on Pythiarism and Calanthropism. Mr. Hood has demonstrated his wonderful ability as a financier, and when Kansas City starts to erect her guard Python Temple, he will be on hand and guide them to success as he has come on all former occasions where brain and skill are required. The race needs a few more lids. REV. W. T. BIGGERS Rev. W. T. Biggers came from the Atchlion A. M. H. Church to Bethel A. M. H. Church at Leavenworth in the latter part of Oct. 1912. The latter part of September, 13, will end twenty or a score years that he has been in the ministry. It has been several years since Bethle has had a pastor that fitted in so well along all lines. During his pastorate here, the church has taken on new life. Although we have never had a large demonstration, there has been a steady influx of souls. Scarcely a meeting but what someone came to Christ. A large number of children also have been baptised. Rev. Diggers has organized several auxiliaries of the church, viz: The Junior Stewardess Board, A. B. O. W. T. Girls, Literary Society, Missionary Societies, and The Allen League. During the conference year, he has raised more money than any other pastor in several years. It was accomplished in such a way that no one ```markdown ``` REV. W. T. BIGGERS individual was burdened, but all did their duty. At present the church is in their It enjoys good con- tegatio and also splendid con- tributions. It is prairie to do some anceege improvements when Rev. Bigger returns from confer- ence. In the last quarterly conference, held Sept 15, by Dr. J. C. C. Owens, P. E., there was a unanimous sentiment of approval of the work done by Rev. Biggers during the conference year. There was not a jot or a title of discord demonstrated in the quarterly conference. A committee waited on the Presiding Elder while he was here and earnestly requested that he use his influence with the Bishop to have Rev. Biggers returned for another year. Besides, members and friends besieged the Presiding Elder on every side and were loud in their praise of the work accomplished by the Reverend and his good wife. REV. GREGG A COLLEGE PRONY Pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church toTake Charge of Jacksonville, Florida Institution. Rev. John A. Gregy, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. church, Third and Antiope streets, will become president of Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, Pa. Rev. Gregy is closing a five years' pastorate in the city of St. Joseph, and dating that time he has wiped out the entire indebtedness of the church. He is a graduate of the Kansas State University, finishing that institution in 1910. During his undergraduate days he enlisted in the Twenty-third Kansas volunteers and served with his regiment in Cuba. After fun-living school he was sent by his church to take charge of a mission school in South Africa. He served there two and a half years, establish the Chatsworth Mechanical, Normal and Industrial Institute, forty-four miles from Cape Town. On his return he was stationed at Leavenworth, where he served two years, and from that place he was sent to St. Joseph five years ago. Rev. Mr. Gregg is a member of the Methodist and Evangelical Association of Minsters, which meets at the White Temple, and has appeared before that body several times with papers. He read before the Ministerial Alliance, of which he is also a member, some time ago a paper on "Observations in South Africa" which cited much favourable comment. On three occasions he has addressed audiences at the First German church, the last time greatly surprising and pleasing his audience by speaking to them in their own tongue. Last June the presidency of Edward Waters College was offered and he had the matter under advance since, finally deciding to accept the offer only a few days ago. The school entailed last year 507 and has a teaching force of 16.—Saint Joseph Daily Gazette. Rev. Gregg is one of the strongest and most influential ministers in the West. He is an educated gentleman of great ability, and his departure removes one of the strongest pillows in the Fifth Episcopal District of the A. M. E. church. We cannot stand to lose many like him, and Florida is extremely fortunate in capturing him. We hate to lose Rev. Gregg, but he is going where men of push, thrift and energy are well paid for their services. We wish him unbounded success and should Florida tire of him or he grow criesatisfied with the land of orange blossoms, the West is waiting to receive him with open arms. LAWRENCE KANSAS. Rev.

E. church and it has been a successful year, and carried out in a very popular, and dignified way. Never in the history of the church has there been a more successful year. All floating debts are paid, current expenses met, interest on bonded indebtedness paid, with between eight and nine hundred dollars paid on the principle. The pastor, for the first time in any recent history of the church, will go away with every dollar of his salary paid and perhaps something left in the treasury. The membership has been creased, the literary, social and spiritual conditions of the church are fine. The presiding elder, Rev J. N. Taylor, held his last quarterly meeting Sunday the 14th and it was one of the best ever held in Saint Lake. One united with the church. Finance for the day was $161.50, and for the entire quarter was between $90) and $900. The members of Saint Luke, friends and citizens of Lawrence regret very much to see this conference year so near the closing, but certainly we expect to see Rev. Brown back, but should he not come, his work here these six years shall never be forgotten. He has made splendid success, worked very hard and has won the friendship and good will of the entire community. I must repeat, should he not return to Lawrence, we wish he and his loving wife success wherever they may go. The ladies Auxiliary gave a banquet Friday evening of last week complimentary to Rev. J.

As to Vardaman! (Reproduced by Special Request.) Editor Plaindealer: I notice that you have been paying Senator Vardaman a little of the attention and respect due him. It is natural for Negroes to resent the attitude of such persons as Vardaman and Tillman, although they are in some respects our good friends. They make friends for us among that class of people who can think and are inclined to be fair. The statement of a man like Vardaman are so extravagant, so directly opposed to known facts, so manifestly dictated by a blind, unreasoning passion, and so obviously the product of a disordered mentality that thoughtful white people blush for shame, and feel the more inclined to grant the Negro a square deal. If Vardaman could be calm, dignified, sensible and reasonable even to a degree; or if he possessed the capacity to make a comprehensive study of the Negro problem in its manifold sociological, economic and educational aspects, or had he even brains enough to frame a coherent statement of facts and principles in reference to pretend their true significance are rea- dangerous man. But since dignity is foreign to his make-up, and since ability to see facts and capacity to grasp and interpert their true significance are requirements wholly beyond his intellectual powers, what he says is of little force and effect, welding no influence whatever among intelligent people It would be an extreme punishment to Vardaman to deprive him of the privilege of publicity amusing Negroes. Lacking the capacity to do a white man's work as a constructive force in American civilization, possessing no skill in statecraft, nor capability in literary, artistic or scientific pursuits, Senator Vardaman has no way to get his name before the public except by violently attacking the Negro race. The only way he can attract public notice is by following a pursuit requiring no higher mental or moral qualification than the possession of a big mouth, a coarse nature and stunted intellect. Senator Vardaman belongs to that happily diminishing class of white men who like to boast of the "superiority" of the white race, and of the great achievements of that race in civilization. Genuine superiority is never boastful, it needs no big mouthful reinforcement, it gives the other fellow a fair and equal show, then beats him in the race. Senator Vardaman has no faith in the alliedged "superiority" of the white race. If he had the idea of giving Negroes a square deal would not kill him with terror and he would not prostitute the high office he now holds in unworthy attempts to deny Negroes their manhood rights. Senator Vardaman sincerely believes that if Negroes are given any chance whatever they will outstrip white men in the race of life. Why is it necessary to give so much time to fighting, denouncing and legislating against an "inferior" race? It is interesting to note that those men, such as Vaidaman, Tallman, Dixon and Blease, who do the most talking about superiority of the white race, and the wonderful achievements of that race are the very men least capable of exemplifying that superiority or of contributing in any way towards those achievements. Suppose the four men above named or their ilk represented the high-water mark of capacity, power and intellectual achievement among the white race. Senator Vardaman is interesting from a psychological standpoint. We cannot, at this time, subject him to a critical psychological analysis and classification, we may observe that he represents a most of his virulent type of morbidism. No ordinance is a characteristic form of insanity, and when accompanied by highly emotional states, arrests the power of logical daftness of calm discussion and tenure in victim mental grief or in unequivocable regard to the paranoid state, or to the discontent that Senator Vardanan cannot think on the Negro question. On Senator Vardanan's attention the fact that during the last century the Negro has been stated millions of dollars worth of property, has enjoined schools, built churches, graduated thousands of young men and . women from the highest educational institutions, invaded successfully every known profession, developed many kinds of business, and improved in most astonishing degree his economic status. Recite these facts to Vardaman and note the effect. He grows red in the face, the veins in his neck and forehead swell, he clinches his fist, he saws the air, he strikes a pose and replies: "The Negro is a savage, a brute; he cannot learn, and he can never become an integral part of civilization." Such antics are disgusting to white people and amusing to Negroes. The Negro race views Vardaman not with alarm, but with pity, amusement and contempt. His intellectual blindness is pathetic. He can no more stop the upward march of a race than prevent the return of the seasons. In a few years we shall march right over his pitiful grave, and we shall read thereon the melancholy epitaph: "Here lies one who gave his life to preaching hatred." WILLIAM E.

Meles in American Agriculturist TYING UP A FLEECE. Directions For the Proper Care of the Wool Grower's Crop. First, all the tag locks must be removed, whether they be dung or grease and dirt, writes W. C. Coffey of the Illinois station, describing the proper way to tie up a fleece; second, the fleece should be carefully rolled up by hand (not in wool box), with no ends or stray locks protruding and with the flesh side out; third, the fleece should be tied with a hard, glazed twine, not larger than one-eighth inch in diameter. In trying the ends of the twine especial care should be taken to make a firm, hard knot that will not slip. Tug locks are not so common that their presence in fleeces from farm flocks is the rule rather than an exception. The total effect of leaving them on fleeces is bad. It puts our wools in bad standing with wool houses and manufacturers. Long continued, it has led to the only logical result—namely, discrimination in price against our wools. Careful rolling, with the flesh side out and no ends or stray locks showing, adds greatly to the appearance of the fleece. It also prevents mixing the wool from different fleeces, and, by the way, each fleece should be tied to itself. In the wool warehouse it is a pretty sight to see the heaps of graded wool faced with a tier of carefully rolled and tied fleeces. GOOD FOR THE GRUNTERS. This Handy Swill Barrel Doesn't Need Much Material or Labor. A very handy swill barrel for feeding a lot of hogs when they come crowding around the trough is made as follows, says the Iowa Home-tend, from which article and illustration are reproduced. The barrel A is set on a small platform immediately above a trough, B, next to the hydrant D, which has a goose neck so that water can be drawn into the barrel directly from the hydrant. In the center of the bottom of the barrel is bored a twi- hth sugar hole which is kept closed by means of a plug. C, the handle of which is HANDY SWILL FELDER. made of an old broom handle and long enough to reach to the top of the barrel. Swill is made of ground feed, and when it is desirable to feed the hogs all the operator has to do is to stir the swill and pull the plug, and the swill runs out into the trough without any trouble. When enough has run out the plug may be returned to its place, and in this way there is no spilling or handling of swill. The trough may be of any convenient length. Spring Culture of Wheat. Harrowing wheat in the spring is a practice that is receiving considerable attention of late years. Where the ground is compacted hard from heating rains of early spring, followed by ruther dry weather, the harrowing of wheat with a drag harrow is good practice. So far experiments have shown at the Missouri station, however, the harrowing of wheat is not always sufficiently beneficial to pay for the work, although where one harrows in clover seed at the same time the practice is usually a paying one. Where the wheat is badly "heaved" the use of a heavy roller in the early spring is a good practice. All depends, however, upon the extent of the "hearing." Kill the Rats and Save Chicks. Kill the Rats and Save Chicks. In answer to a subscriber who complains of rats getting away with his young old bees and requesting a remedy for external itching the robbers, a correspondent of the Kansas City farmer says that if powdered sulphur and aneye pepper the scattered around the rat holes the corn will disappear. Another remedy is to scatter powdered eye around their houses. The eye will stick to the rat's feet. He commences to likk them, which causes death. Vihy Bely en Corn? In sections where corn has not proved a success it is folly to rely upon corn. In such sections there are crops will do no good, and it is the part of intelligence to plant them. Kaffir, milfo and other crops grow and do well where corn falls. Then why rely on corn? - Farm and Ranch WINFIELD, KANSAS. We are indeed proud of the process the Negro is making in this city and community. They are buying homes and many of these are very beautiful and well located, and out of a population of about one hundred families sixty of them own their homes. We also have in the high school about ten students and five in Southwestern University, and there will be twelve or fifteen more to enter the high school next year. This is the way the Negro should spend his time and his earnings, and not be found looting on the streets in gangs talking trash and too lazy to work because it is too hot or too cold or they don't like that kind of work, and finally go home for the old folks to feed them. If we have any like this they should be compelled to join the army so they could be taught to be men. Judge G. H. Buckman was transacting business in Guthrie, Okla., last week. Hon. A. D. Griffin was in our city on business last Friday. We are all ways glad to see him.

Wednesday evening Sept. 10th at 8:30 o'clock, a large number of friends gathered at the Second Baptist church to witness the marriage on "Isa," the beautiful daughter of Rev. and Mrs. G. W. Henry. Promptly at the time stated, a beautiful vocal solo was rendered by one of Topka's sweetest singers, Mrs. Amelia, Tallet, and then the low sweet strains of a wedding march pealed forth, played by Mrs. Viola Belcher. The young couple entered the northwest door and all eyes were turned upon them, for never was there a more marly groom or lovelier bride. They came slowly down the alley and upon the altar, where they were met by the father of the bride, who united them in the bonds of holy wedlock. The bride's gown was pale cream Paris mull heavily embroidered with silk. A veil of soft silk tulle, which came to the bottom of her gown, was worn. She carried a large bouquet of American Beauty roses with flowers. Mr. Harris was handsome in black dress suit, and looked well worthy of the prize he had won. The bride was one of Topka's most accomplished young ladies. She is a skilled stenographer, and was well known in business and social circles. She will be sadly missed in her church, for she was an earnest Christian worker, a sweet singer, being a faithful member of the choir. With regret we give her up, well knowing that Topka's loss will be Louisville's gain. The bride received many beautiful, useful and valuable presents, which showed how well she was loved by the members and friends of her church. The church was decorated most lovely in white and green. Mr. and Mrs. Harris left only the next morning for their home in the "Blue Glass" state, in the city of Louisville, where Mr. Harris holds a fine position in the P. C. C. & St. L. R. R. office. May they have a long happy life, is the wish of their many friends in Topka. NOLES OF ASBURY CHAPEL. (Walton Brawn, Pastor.) (Walton Brown, Pastor.) The revival is growing rapidly.

Austrian or Black Pine Has Advantages Over Some Other Trees The Austrian pine, often spoken of as the black pine, is commonly planted throughout the United States east of the Rocky mountains for ornamental and windbreak purposes. Under favorable conditions it will attain a height of sixty or seventy feet, with a diameter of fully two feet at the stump. It is pleasing in appearance, grows erect with a straight, heavy trunk and regular whorls of heavy limbs. The leaves are from five to seven inches long, very dark green and retain their green neon throughout the year. In keeping with the general appearance of the tree the foliage is dense and heavy, which makes it one of the very best of the pines for windbreak purposes. It is readily propagated ```markdown ``` Photograph by Kansas State Agricultural college THIRTY YEAR OLD AFRICIAN FINIS ON KANSAS FARM. from seed, but the seedlings are tender and susceptible to several fungous diseases common in nurseries. The seedlings transplant with much dill culty, and there is usually a heavy loss in the first transplanting, but only a small per cent of loss in the subsequent plantings. Only trees that have been transplanted once or twice should be bought for permanent plantings, and these should be from fifteen to twenty inches in height. The Austrian pine is generally propagated by all nurserymen hand in coniferous stock and can be obtained in any desired numbers. The tree requires special care in the seedling stage. It is impracticable for any except skilled nurserymen to attempt to grow it—Kansas Farmer. According to Former Secretary Wilson, every day in the crop growing season is worth $50,000. 000 to the farmers of the United States. This wealth, however, represents the work of nature as well as of men. The big problem for the farmer is to no arrange his affairs that he can keep nature working for him all the time. For the Asparagus Bed. The land for an asparagus bed must be well drained, warm, rich soil and thoroughly worked. For a home patch deep spading may do, but care must be taken to get the manure well mixed with the soil if best results are desired. For larger beds the manure should be turned under with a plow. Deep plowing is advantageous in most cases. The first plowing should be done late in the fall, the second early in the spring. Good, strong one year old roots are the best. A long bed single row for the home garden, is better and more easily managed than a short bed of a number of rows. The plants should have plenty of space - American Agriculturist. Let Out the Gas. In severe cases of intolerance or which collide the life of the horse may be served by prompt tapping for the removal of gas. The tracer and cannula used for the purpose are thrust into the most distended part of the right flank, high up near to the rib and at the edge of the feather of hair which runs the opposite way of that on the ribs. In a cow tapping is done on the left side. There is little danger in using the instrument, but it must be sterilized before use, and the wound should be disinfected after removal of the tracer - farm journal. It's a Useful Servant Where a farmer owns a wood lot and burns wood he can make an excellent investment by purchasing a good line engine and wood sawing machine. Even a two and one fourth horsepower engine will do a lot of work, but it is advisable perhaps, to get a somewhat larger one because the choices are that after a farmer sets an engine he will find other work for it to do. --- Don't Grow Scabby Spude.

With an expenditure of half a dollar or even less and an hour's time a need for tester may be made at home that will answer every purpose. This simple device for selecting good and care is known as the "rag doll tester," probably because it resembles nothing more than a rag doll when it is rolled up and put to work in a pail of water. Its efficiency was proved in several years' test of it at the Iowa agricultural experiment station, which was that it will select good care as satisfactorily as the best expensive manufacured testers Buy a few yards of sheeting of good quality and tie it into strips eight inches wide and from three to five inches long. If it is planned to use the strips a number of times from the edges, as otherwise theravelings sometimes disarrange the hernia in unrolling. Down the millie of each cloth strip lengthwise draw a line with a heavy pencl. Then draw squares about three inches wide and number the squares Wet one of the strips thoroughly and stretch it out in front of the cars to be tested. Take six kernels from ear No 1 and place in square No 1; take six kernels from ear No 2 and place in square No 2, and so on. When the cloth has been filled begin at either end and roll the cloth up. If the cloth is well moistened the kernels will not push out of place. When the cloth has been rolled tie a string around each end rather loosely or, better still, use a rubber band. Number this roll No 1 Then proceed with No 2 in the same way. As many rolls may be used as are necessary to contain the corn which one has to test. From thirty to fifty cars can be tested in each roll, depending upon the length of the strip of cloth. The Linotype Way Insures After the rolls have been filled they should be placed in a bucket or tub of water, where they may remain from two to eighteen hours, depending upon the preference of the operator. At the end of this time pour off the water and turn the bucket or tub upside down over the rolls or use a common dry goods box for this purpose. A couple of small pieces of wood should be laid under the rolls and one edge of the pall should be lifted from one half to one inch in order to give ventilation. At the end of five days the kernels should be ready to read Depending upon the arrangement of ears, select first either roll No. 1 or the last roll fillet. This cloth will be unrolled in front of the ears represented. Examine all kernels carefully. In all cases in which all six kernels are not strong in germination the ear should be thrown away—Parm Press Truck For Spool Fence Wire. In the accompanying illustration, taken with the description from Popular Mechanics, is shown a handy rig for carrying a spool of barbed wire X Bette Let us Print Your FENCE WIRE TRUCK, SIMILAR TO A BAGGAGE TRUCK, WITH A HOD BETWEEN THE HANDLES FOR THE SPOOL. when putting up a fence. The manner of construction is obvious. The spool of wire can be easily handled by one man with this device. Economical Hog Trough. When rough lumber is $18 a thousand, about the price at present, a six foot hog trough made of two inch plank costs about 50 cents for lumber. Labor and nails add 25 cents to the cost. Hogs destroy from one to three such troughs in a year. Feed gets wasted, too, for a new trough iseldom made till the old one is poorer than it ought to be. Three troughs at the above estimate cost $225. An iron trough six feet long costs $225 and will last a lifetime—American Agriculturist. In wheat fertilization experiments at the Indiana experiment station on clay and to form soils the complete fertilizer gave the largest average increase and the greatest average profit per acre. The use of 200 pounds of fertilizer per acre on wheat proved more profitable than the use of 100 pounds per acre. A tree can be bridge grafted to less than half an hour, and it is better to take this time to do it than to let a woman die. A man who could invest a quarter and get back a dollar and a half would think he had struck a good thing. That is about what a farmer can do in the handling of minute. Twenty-five cents' worth of acid phosphates added to the stubble mature will return 150 cents' worth of crops. The Ohio experiment station has proved it, many farmers have found it to be so, and yet most of us fail to invest the quarter or make the worse mistake of failing to care for the manure at all—National stockman and farmer. FOUR SPUD CROPS A YEAR. Spaniard's Methods May Be Good For Others to Imitate. From Spain comes the report of a Spaniard who grew four crops of potatoes on the same land in twelve months. The potatoes were grown under ordinary conditions, and the ground was fertilized with horse manure. First crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Aug 22 and dug Nov. 6 1911, fair size, firm and good quality; second crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Nov. 9, 1911, and dug Feb. 10, 1912, fair size and very good quality; third crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Feb. 21 and dug May 10, 1912, large size and much better than those of preceding crops; fourth crop, Spanish seed potatoes, planted May 22 and dug Aug. 10, 1912, poor yield and potatoes small. Job Printing. The grower attributes the poor quality of the last crop to inferior seed, lack of water for irrigation and to several very hot winds that prevailed in July; but, as in other years, the crop of this same period has been a good one, the low yield of 1912 does not detract from the feasibility of the plan.—Rural New Yorker. FOES OF THE ROSEBUD. Get After the Fly and the Slug of You Want to Save Your Flowers. To destroy the green fly, colonies of which conglobate on the young growth of the rosebushes and suck the juices of the plant, and other insect pests, we spray the bushes with tobacco dust after wetting them so the dust will adhere. We have also found fresh white hellebore dust on the bushes a very good remedy. A softer can be made by pinching the cover of a baking powder can full of small holes and using the corn in the same manner as a suit or newspaper. The rose sing, a light green worm that eats the leaves, may be controlled by applying white oil soup, one-half pound dissolved in four gallons of water. The rose bug, a hard shell leser that eats the leaves and blossoms and greatly damages the roses, is best controlled by hand picking or kneeling of on a sheet in the early morning. Rosebushs can be kept quite free of insects, however, by illerently and frequently sprinkling with tobacco dust—Rural Life Keep the Calves "Coming." Keep the Calves "Coming." The calves must be kept "coming," whether they suck the cows or are hand fed Skimm's calves grow strong and thrifty if given a chance. Their milk has to be clean and enough of it. With it they need something to take the place of the cream that is gone. Corn is a good substitute. Oats help also ground flaxseed in the milk is fine, but it costs too much these days. For cheapness and results corn and oats crushed together or just plain corn coarsely ground and fed dry are hard to beat. Iowa Homestead. Hand or Power Spraying? Hand spraying is more expensive than power spraying. The cost varies much in different cases, depending on the efficiency of labor, convenience and other essentials, and much depends on the apparatus used. The pump should have capacity to maintain high pressure, and the nozzle must throw a fine spray. The requirements are the same for every kind of spraying...Farm Progress To a short piece of half round post securely tack on the curved side with he curved side with shingle nails a sheet of heavy galvanized iron about fifteen inches long Bore a hole in the block at an angle of about forty five degrees, deep single nail a sheet of heavy galvanised iron about fifteen inches long Bore a hole in the block at an angle of about forty five degrees, deep enough to receive a long handle.
