Cabbage Worms.
Paris green, one rounding tea
spoonful; common flour, one
quart.
Mix the two thoroughly to
gether and put in a small cheese
cloth sack which anyone can
make in a very few minutes,
shake the sack over the cabbage
plants, causing the paris green
and flour to sift through and fall
upon the cabbage leaves. This
is best done early in the morn
ing or in the evening when there
.1 iWilo moisture upon the
ID tlf JHV1V ----- 4
leaves to cause the powder to
stick where it falls. A very light
dusting is all that is necessary
to distribute enough of the
poison to kill the worms that
feed upon the leaves. ' This
poison should not be used later
than 10 days to two weeks before
the time that the cabbages are to
be gathered.
Unless used in unreasonable
excess, there will not be poison
enough deposited upon the edible
part of the cabbage head to do
any harm. In fact, all these
outer leaves are removed before
the cabbages are cooked for food.
It is also true that the' leaves
that form the outer part of the
cabbage head one day will spread
and become loose outer leaves a
few days later. So, if the poison
is not applied very near to the
time that the cabbages are to be
gathered, there will be no poison
whatever upon the edible parts.
For best results the first appli
cation should be made as soon
as the heads begin to form. Then
one or two applications later
would be all that is necessary.
In large fields it might be
better to use the paris green in
the form of a spray of water.
In which case a little soap should
be added so that the liquid will
spread over the leaves and not
roll off. If used as a spray, mix
one pound of the paris green in
each 100 gallons of water. Ar
senate of lead may be used in
stead oi the pans green, n
which case five pounds of the
poison should be used for each
100 gallons of wator.

Whiskey-That'i All.
See yon ruddy faced youth and the light
in his eye,
Clear as beams of the sun in the blue
of the sky,
But-he looks on the cup, and behold
his great fall;
Whiskey that's all.
Note yon staggering man and the blear
of his eye, -
How his wife pleads in vain as his little
ones cry,
He is drinking the dregs of wormwood
and gall;
Whiskey -that's all.
The drunkard stalks on by the river of
tears,
In the gloom of the night midst the
groans of the years,
The glad days of his hope are all past
recall;
Whiskey-that's all. .
Hark! there are demon-like yells from
the maniac 8 cell,
Where the tortures are keen as the
fires of hell,
But, reason has .fled and she heeds not
his call;
Whiskey-that's all.
O the crimes and remorse and the blood
of the slain,
O'er the mantle the dead midst the
death-throes and pain,
They cover the earth like'a funeral pall;
Whiskey-that's all.
American Farmer.
Averging in a general way all
estimates of this year's apple
crop, 't appears that the crop on
the Pacific Coast is larger than it
was last year, mainly due to in
crease in California, and that
east of the Rocky Mountains the
crops is less in quantity, but
average better in quality than
last year.
Watsonville, California, ex
pects to ship 3500 cars of apples
this year against 1500 cars last
year.
Bills for advertising and job
work will be, payable the first of
every month.
Thousand-headed kale may be
injured by cold as often as one
year in ten . in the Willamette
Valley, but in the Coast counties
the occasions when it is cold
enough to hurt the plant are not
more than once in a generation.
It will pay dairy farmers who
have not tried this plant to give
it a trial next year.
Don't think that a thing can't
be done simply because you never
did it. Fifty years ago a man
would have been considered worse
than a lunatic if he had asserted
that he could, make a talking
machine, yet today they are
thicker than ticks in Texas.
If you read this copy of the
Herald and you have not already
had your name placed on the
mailing list, do so at once and
you will never regret it. If you
don't there may be something
said about you and you will miss
it.
The Herald office is equipped
with the largest platen press in
Polk county and is prepared to
turn out as good printing as any
body and at less rates. Get our
prices before going elsewhere.
In is altogether probable that
registered sheep and goats can
be bought a good deal cheaper
now than at any time next year.
It is always a good time to buy
when the majority are not buy
ing, because that is the time
when bargains are to be had.
