KILLING WHITE GRUBS
IPIowing in Late Fall and During
Winter Will Help.
j _
-
According to Their Life Cycles Pests
Will Be Abundant Next Year,
Causing Much Damage to
Various Farm Crops.
Every effort should be made to pre
vent destruction by white grubs,
which, according to their life cycles,
.will be abundant in 1917 and 1018,
causing damage to timothy and small
igrains in 1917 and to corn in 1018.
Late fall and winter plowing will
destroy many of the hibernating cut
worms as well as such Insect pests
as white grubs. This, therefore, should
be practiced when earlier plowing is
Impracticable. Farm poultry trained
to follow the plow are also a great
value in destroying the pest, and hogs
White Grub and Parent Beetle.
[that are allowed to pasture upon land
ithat harbors cutworms will root up
and devour great quantities of the in
sects.
In most cases the moths lay their
leggs in the late summer or early fall
lin fields which are covered with grass
?or weeds. The worms hatch in a few
:weeks, feed upon this vegetation until
'.cold weather, and then hibernate as
;partly-grown caterpillars. When the
Mnfested field ls broken up and planted
to corn or other wide-row crops in the
; spring, the worms are deprived of their
natural food and are compelled to at
tack the newly-planted crop. They
continue to consume an enormous
amount of food until they have at
tained their full growth, and change
to the pupal or resting stage in late
June or early July.
LAYING QUALITY OF PULLETS
Purchase a Purebred Male and Stop
Trying to Keep Flock of All
Kinds and Colors.
The thinking poultryraan realizes
that the male ls "half of the pen."
The chickens have one father in com
mon and may iiave separate mothers,
so the male's vigor and personality is
in every chick.
Get a purebred male. Stop this keep
ing a flock of all kinds and colors. Be
careful to choose a male of real merit,
bred with care and for a purpose.
Whichever of the two aims-eggs or
meat-is the best with you, select for
that purpose, but uever forget that a
well-bred cockerel, one bred from
meat-producing and egg-laying ances
try, will decidely improve the laying
quality of the pullets, even if you are
aiming and have chosen for the pur
pose of size.
?ATTENTION TO COLT'S FEET
Uneven Growth Will Often Result in
Misshappen Joints and Bones
Use Ra&p and Nippers.
The colt's feet require attention. An
uneven growth of the feet at this pe
[riod will often result in mishapen
ibones and joints that will prove to be
j permanent Injuries. If the colt will
let you hannie him ut all it is easy to
keep the feet correctly proportioned
with nippers and a rasp; practice and
observation will soon enable a man
:who has fair judgment to determine
j what trimming the feet of euch colt
j need.
As a general rule the feet should
be examined every six or eight weeks.
If the colt's owner can't look after
?this matter himself he should obtain
the services of someone who can, for
it may mean the difference of fifty
.or one hun Ired dollars in the vulue of
; the animai later in life.
?CHARCOAL GOOD FOR CHICKS
Given to Poultry as Corrective, Not
as Food, Says Expert of Kan
sas State College.
Charccal is given to poultry as a
; corrective, and not as a food, asserts
?R. M. Sherwood, acting head of the
i department of poultry husbandry In
?the Kansas State Agricultural college.
"In case of improper feeding It is
'well to give charcoal to absorb Intes
tinal gases," said Mr. Sherwood. "It
: is generally fed to growing chicks
I only, because of its high cost.
"When there Is a supply of cobs on
the farm, charcoal can be made from
them, and this would be cheap enough
to warrant feeding it to hens as well
las chicks."
CUTTING PEAS WITH MOWER
-Machines Run Better If Land ls
Smooth-Harrow Will Put Land
in Good condition.
Farmers should always remember
that In sowing peas they must be cut
with a mower.
Mowing machines run better If the
land ls smooth. By using a harrow on
the land, lt can easily be put In good
condition for the mower. In cutting
peas on rough land. It ls hard on the
driver, the mower and the stock.
HELEN'S CRIMINAL h
By MARTIN O'NEILL.
"I wonder," queried Helen, "if any
body really gets the rewards offered
In the paper. It seems to nie the whol
world ought to be rich If people get
the money offered for criminals, losl
persons and stolen jewelry. Here's a
mnn wanted out In Ohio for killing two
men nnd robbing a bank. There's a
thousund dollars' reward for him. 1
wish we could get IL don't you?"
"Wish lt?" sighed Aimee, crumbing
the little table and setting down
three saucers of pudding. "Yes, I do."
The sisters looked at each other and
then at Bob, who was too busy hunting
for fat raisins to bother with the no
tions of big girls. His recent Illness
had left him with an appetite even
more remarkable than before, and he
was the strongest, healthiest looking
boy In the world-only against the
rocker leaned a crutch. That was why
the girls bad the same thought A
thousand dollars would do so much I
"I wonder," Helen went "back to the
paper, "how people catch criminals?
Here's his picture and description, five
feet eleven Inches high, dark brown
hair, gray eyes, weight oue hundred
and seventy-three pounds. They think
he ls in this city."
"But that might be anybody," put
In Aimee.
"Just wait a minute," went on Helen.
"Triangular scar on left side of chin,
square Jaws, mole on back of right
hand."
.TU put on my hat when the dishes
are done. He'd be hard to miss now."
laughed her sister.
The train was full the next evening
when Helen got on. However, she j
managed to squeeze Into a small space
In the foremost seat that faced the
other passengers.
Down the aisle rows of commuters
were buried in the evening papers and
Helen studied the passengers with In
terest, finding diversion in the fact that
most of them looked as tired as she
felt Then suddenly she gave a gasp
of amazement, for her eyes had discov
ered a face that somehow looked famil
iar. On a finn chin, between two
square-set jaws, was a triangular scar
that showed an angry red against an
otherwise rather pale complexion.
Helen's eyes leaped from one feature
to the other-gray eyes, brown bair,
rather tall, she judged. There was
no mistake about it; she had found
him.
"Oh. Bobby," her thoughts flew to
her brother, "won't it be wonderful if
we get the reward and take you out
to Doctor Taylor, where you can have
proper treatment?"
Suddenly Helen realized that her
prey was looking at her. She darted a
quick glance at him. then away, burn
ing a furious red at her folly, for the
man, discovering further interest on
her part in himself and his belongings,
smiled amusedly.
And then fate, upon whom she had
called, came to her aid most gloriously,
albeit a blt roughly. There was a
grindine and splintering of glass and
something hit Helen on the back of the
head. Things went out for awhile, and
when her senses came back she was
outside somewhere in the snow. Then
she realized that a man was trying to
make her swallow something. After
that her head cleared rapidly and she
tried to sit up.
"That's splendid !" said the man. "Do
you think you can stand? If you tell
me where you live we can get you
home."
Helen, now keenly alive to every
thing, realized that her benefactor was
the criminal.
"Thank you," she said steadily. "1
guess I am able to go now if th?
car is ready. Won't-won't you come
too?"
"1 was golnp to nsk you If I might."
And in a f^t* minutes they were at
h*r door. "Won't you come in and get
warm?" asked Helen. The time hnd
come for the grand coup.
Helen led him into the living room.
Then, excusing herself for a minute,
she went out and locked the door.
Aimee and Bobble had heard and
were in the hall.
"Sh-" whispered Helen. 'Tve gol
him-the murderer-he's lo the living
room. Think of It I I'm going to tele
phone for the police right away."
But while the girls were at the
phone Bobbie's curiosity got the bet
ter of him. He went quietly to the
door, turned the key and stuck In his
head.
"How did you kill them both?" he
asked curiously. "Is that the money?"
nodding toward the bag.
"The man laughed. "Do you think
Tm Captain Kidd? Come here, little
man."
"No, but sister said you were the
man the papers told about, and she
needed the reward. She'll be sorry."
"I'm afraid she will. But I don't
try to kill people. It's my business to
patch them up. I help little boys like
you to throw away their crutches."
"What's your name?" asked Bobble.
"Marshall J. Taylor, at your usrvice,
sir!"
Helen and Aimee, who had tiptoed
to the doorway, were aghast They had
heard lt all.
"The doctor!" Helen i ost sobbed,
and going Into the rooi^, she said
quickly: "It's all true, what Bobble
told you. I was hunting the criminal
to get reward to make Bobbie well. I
was going to take him to you."
"We'll make Bobble well," answered
Doctor Taylor, "and some da}'--" he
paused, "maybe you can pay me, but
not in money."

PORK DISHES.
Snit pork is a wholesome meat which
ls found in most families. In the
country the nicely fatted
young pork salted is
delicious eating. The ad
vantage of salt pork is
that lt keeps indefinitely
and is an emergency
meat always available.
Crisp slices of pork
parboiled in water, then
rolled in cornmeal and
fried brown and served
with a gravy of flour and
milk, cooking the flour in the hot fat,
then adding the milk. Baked potatoes
are especially good with this meat.
Roast pork left-overs finely chopped
and served with chopped celery in
salad makes a fine substitute for
chicken.
Cornmeal pork fritters, with a rich
gravy will make a breakfast dish
which is sufficiently filling for a good
meal. Use cornmeal, one egg, a little
baking powder and sufficient milk to
make a batter thick enough to dip the
slices of parboiled and drained salt
pork in, then fry in fat and serve with
a cream gruvy.
Pork of any kind, salt or otherwise,
should be cooked long and slowly to
make it digestible.
Fresh pork with carrots, onions and
potatoes baked in a casserole is an
other dish which is well liked. A
small amount of meat will season the
vegetables, thus making a most eco
nomical dish.
Spiced Shoulder of Pork.-Soak the
shoulder in water for several hours
after washing well, being sure that it
Is well scraped, removing all the
smoked portions that might impart a
strong flavor. Place in a large kettle
with cold water to cover; bring slowly
to the boiling point, then add pepper
corns, whole cloves and sage, a tea
spoonful of each, with a bay leaf, if
liked, a bit of mace or nutmeg. The
sage may be omitted if the flavor ls
not liked. After two hours of gentle
cooking, remove the skin from the
shoulder and. put it in a baking pan,
skin side np. Add half a cupful of
vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of sugnr,
and a cupful of water; use this to
baste the meat while roasting. Any
left-over portions are delicious, sliced
cold.
