Cablioere Worms.
When the first appearance' of the
worm . is made the plants should be
dusted with the parls green and flour
mixture! Wh.iu the heads are forming
use one pound of pyrethum powder to
four pounds of flour to dust the plants.
This is harmless to man. After the
head begins forming paris green Should
not be used. Those who are afraid
to use parls green are generally success
ful by beginning early to use the py
rethum powder and spraying often.
Cabbage and other plant lice are best
controlled by spraying with kerosene
emulsion, using the 15 per cent solution
a solution containing 15 per cent of
kerosene. If the lice are on trees,
flowers or rose bushes, tobacco decoc
tion may be used with good results.
The tobacco decoction is made by tak
ing three pounds of tobacco stems and
five gallons of water and boiling for
two hours. It rs used without diluting,
but must not be applied too hot, or it
may scald the plants.
If treatment is begun in time plant
lice can be controlled. It must be done
before the leaves are curled so the
spray can reach the pests. There
should be several sprayings, four or
five days apart, as one spraying will
not completely do the work. Clean cul
ture is important in fighting these in
sects, as with many others.
Wasted Road Money.
In a recent speech at Peoria, II. II.
Gross, secretary of the Farmers' Good
Road League and special agent for the
National Department of Agriculture to
study the question of highways, made
the following statement : "In forty
years enough money has been thrown
away and squandered on the dirt roads
of .Illinois to pay for graveling or mac
adamizing every foot of highway in
the State." He went on further to
state that as good, hard roads could
be built on the black land in the corn
belt of Illinois as in Massachusetts, or
In any other State, and at a moderate
annual expense to the landowners of,
the State, possibly not exceeding their
present annual tax for road and bridge
purposes.
Automatic Damp Wagon.
The ease with which modern dump
carts and wagons can be 'unloaded is
illustrated in the automatic dump wag
on shown In the accompanying illustra
tion, the invention of a Connecticut
man. The wagon box is pivoted on the
axle, the greater portion of the load
being in back of the pivoted point The
forward end of the box is normally
held In position by a lever directly be
hind the driver's seat. When ready to
dump the load the driver turns In his
seat, releases the lever and the load au
tomatically turns over. The driver is
thus not compelled to leave his seat,
saving considerable time.
Smoothing Drag.
To break down clods and give c fine
surface' the field drag serves a useful
purpose. It may be used In connection
with the spring tooth harrow or even
with the- disk. The CxG Inch pieces
are C to 10 feet in length nnd are laid
edgewise, being bound together by cross
lieces made of 1xC inch stuff.
, The Pacing Horse.
We .have known of many animals
that have acquired the habit of pacing
because of becoming sore forward. The
fore feet and legs do not assist In the
efforts of propulsion, their office is
simply to hold up or support the fore
anfl heaviest part of the animal, and
as It must keep these fore feet out of
the away of the hind ones, a horse will
endeavor to do bo In the most awk
ward of ways at times, for when sore
forward It takes to any sort of a gait
that to its mind appears to lessen the
pain of action. It quite frequently
adopts the siugle foot action, gradually
progressing Into that of pacing. It
was this soreness forward and he was
actually lame that caused the great
Jay Eye See to pace. Field and Farm.

Treatment for Loco.
The results of the loco weed when
eaten by stock are unpleasantly fa
miliar to the stockman of the plains !
east of the Rocky mountains. It has
been estimated that the losses from
this source in Colorado alone have j
reached the sum of a million dollars
per annuw. The national bureau or i

expert In poison plants, reports that
It has been found that locoed cattle
can in most cases be cured by a course
of treatment with strychnine, while
locoed horses can generally be curad
by a course of treatment with Fow
ler's solution. The animals under
treatment must not be allowed to eat
the loco weed and should be given not
only nutritious food, but so far as pos
sible, food with laxative properties,
To this end magnesium sulphate was
administered to correct the constipa
tion which Is almost universal among
locoed animals. It should be noted,
too, that magnesium sulphate may
serve to some extent as an antidote to
the poison. .
It may be added In regard to the
question-of immunity that loco poison
ing comes on In a slow and cumulative
manner, so that there Is no possibility
of animals becoming Immune.
Sonthport Globe Onions.
Connecticut's famous Southport Globe
onions stand unsurpassed among popu
lar American varieties of the onion.
They are in high fa

of Ohio and New
York and during a
few years past have
made a steady ad
advance In standing

WHITE GLOBE
ONION.
onion. Eastern onion growers use the
red and white Southport Globes to
produce the exceptionally large, solid,
beautifully formed bulbs that bring top
prices In the New York City markets.
Besides the two varieties named,
there is a yellow Southport Globe that
resembles the others In shape and gen
eral character, but Is of a rich yellow
color.
The white is one of those beautifully
white, perfectly globe shaped onions
that take the eye and bring highest
price in any market. Its skin Is thin
and paperlike, the flesh fine grained,
crisp and mild flavored. Add to this
that it Is a tremendous cropper, and it
represents almost an Ideal product in
its line.
Disk Flows.
The twenty-four-inch size disk plow
can safely be recommended as being su
perior to any other size. The smaller
size pulls easier, but It' does not pul
verize the soil so well. The disk plow
is capable of handling ground that has
become too dry artd hard for the mold
board plow. It is of somewhat lighter
draft, does not require sharpening so
often, cuts through trash better and
does not clog so easily. Do not try to
cut a furrow wider than eight or ten
inches with a disk. The wider the fur
row the deeper will corrugations be
and the poorer will be the work. It is
better to use two twenty-four-inch
plows each cutting eight inches in
width, than to use a single twenty
eight or thirty-inch plow cutting six
teen inches. -
Tuberculosis.
Recently at the Iowa Experiment
Station twenty pigs were fed for a time
on tuberculosis cows' milk that bad not
been pasteurized, and twenty others
were fed on tuberculosis milk that had
been pasteurized. The twenty pigs fed
on the raw tuberculosis milk all died
of tuberculosis, and two of the other
pigs died with the same disease. That
showed that pasteurizing the milk gave
80 per cent of protection.

GRANGE DECLARES ITSELF.
Outlines Plan of Action on Irrigation
Question.
Resolutions unanimously adopted by
eke Oregon State Grange at Eugene,
May 14, 1908, upon the following mo
tion: Moved that the resolutions be adopted
as read and referred to the committee
on legislation, with power to prepare a
bill as outlined therein, submitting the
same to the next session of the legisla
ture for adoption, and further, that the
chairman of the legislative committee
be authorized to invite such state or
national experts on water legislation
who can be secured to assist the com
mittee in preparing such bill, also one
representative from any state organiza
tion which may hereafter adopt sub
stantially similar resolutions.
Resolutions-
Whereas, Titles to water are of equal
importance with titles to land, and it
appears that a water right should be
as easily ascertained, as clearly defined,
as secure and in all respects as definite
as a perfect title to land; and,
Whereas, It is apparent that without
a definite system of water right titles
and adequate protection by the state,
our water users are burdened with cost
ly, and apparently unending litigation;
our present constructed works are de
preciated in value; the United States
hesitates to construct irrigation sys
tems; private capital declines to invest;
home-seekers go to other states and
countries, where the purchase of an irri
gated farm does not mean the .purchase
of a lawsuit, and thus our development
is seriously retarded; and,
Whereas, Our present water laws can
not be found by a study of the statutes
alone, but must be sought for in a long
series of decisions by our . supreme
court, and apparently are so conflicting
that our ablest lawyers differ in opin
ion on the most fundamental points.
This law is incomplete and inadequate,
and has been, and is. in a state of flux.
Disputes are -decided by the logic of
judges, rather than by statutes of the
legislature. Few know what the law is
today, none know what it may be to
morrow; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
Oregon State Grange that it is. the duty
of the state of Oregon, at the earliest
possible time, to codify and enact a
complete, concise, and 'definite water
law, leaving to the courts only the more
interpretation of this law on such oc
casion as it might be brought into dis
pute; and be it further
Resolved, That such water law should
be based upon the best experience or
other states and countries, such as
Wyoming, Idaho and Canada, and
should include the following funda
mental principles:
1. That no water right should become
vested except by direct grant from the
state.
2. To provide a system whereby the
priority and limitations of every exist
ing right to the use of water can
eventually be ascertained.
" 3. To provide a reliable record in
some central office of all water rights
as determined, and of new rights as
initiated.
4. That actual measurements of
ditches and streams he made as a basis
for the adjudication of existing rights
and the initiation of new rights to the
surplus water, if any.
5. To provide a definite procedure
whereby rights to such surplus water
may be acquired.
6. That beneficial use should be the
basis of all rights to the use of water,
and that water for irrigation purpose
should be made appurtenant to the land
irrigated.
7. All Tights to the use of water for
power development should be limited to
a period of twenty-five years, subject
to renewal under certain restrictions.
8. To provide an efficient administra
tive system, with proper officers, for
the distribution of the water supply
among those entitled to its use.
QUERIES BY FARMERS.
Experiment Station Called Upon for
Advice on Various Subjects.
From th Washington State College. Pullman.
A correspondent at Cheney writes
the following letter to the station:
"I am interested in the subject of
bacteria as an agricultural agency,
and would like to know if anything
is being done by the government
along the lines of bacteria research
Is the use of bacteria cultures likely
to prove an important' factor in tl:c
agriculture of the Inland Empire?
To what extent are fertilizers used in
the Northwest, and with what ef
ficiency? Please give me some infor
mation concerning the new theory of
'soil poisoning by successive crops.'
Following is the reply given to this
letter:
"At this station we have tested sev
eral different cultures, some of whioh
were successful, while others failed.
W have found that in the laboratory
and greenhouses, where conditions
could be controlled fairly well, the
cultures possessed valued. We are
not sure that their use will become
general, for most of the commercial
product does not show up very uni
formly. We have depended more
largely on the use of inoculated soil
from old alfalfa fields, in getting a
itand of alfalfa, than on the bacteria.
"Fertilizers have not been verv
, thoroughly tested in eastern Wash
ington, but we are learning that manv
of our soils may be vastly improved
by certain treatments. The indica
tions are that fertilizers will be used
in the near future, more as a cor
rective agency, than to increase fertil
ity. The theory of 'soil-poisoning' is
based on the tact that where a soil
is overcharged with some element,
the excess of this element become" in
jurious to vegetation. It is necessary
to counteract this by the use of ipmi
chemical. fertilizer."
A Look Ahead.
The safe and sans Fourth of July had
come.
"But bow are th boys observing the
, day?" asked tiie foreigner, who bad just
I landed. "I don't ses sny about."
"Th boys?" said the native. "The last
f 'em, sir, were all killed of one year
to to-day, and the new crop hasn't com
on yet."
Marveling at th changes times had
brought about, ths stranger followed tb
crowd to ths ball park, wbert tb leal
celebration was in progress.
When the blood is pure and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth, and
free from all blemishes and eruptions ; but when some acid humor takes
' root in the circulation, its presence is quickly manifested by some form of
skin disease. The skin receives its necessary nourishment and strength
from the blood. When, however, this vital fluid becomes a humor-laden
stream, it can no longer preserve the healthy, natural appearance of the skin,
, but by its acrid, impure nature continually irritates and inflames the delicate
tissues and fibres and keeps the cuticle in a diseased and disfigured condition,
j External applications cannot reach the blood, and therefore are beneficial
, only for their ability to reduce inflammation, and assist in keeping the parts
j clean. To cure any skin trouble the blood must be purified of the humors
i that are causing the trouble. S. S. S. drives out the humors from the blood
so that the skin, instead of being irritated and diseased, is nourished by a
healthy, cooling stream. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and
removes every particle of impure matter, all acids and humors, and restores
the blood to its normal, pure condition, thereby curing every form of skin
disease or affection. Book on skin
