Only a putty life is afraid of being worn out iSwaHl ■h- " : ■ - mv- > IMMENSE AMOUNT DAMAGE DONE BY PEAR SLUG Leaves of Cherry «nd Pear Trees Attacked by this Insect in lowa and Plant Is Often Left Entirely Bare. Last summer many cherry trees in various parts of lowa were stripped of their leaves by a dull slimy slug. Pear trees also are attacked by this pest, perhaps even more than cherry trees, hence the common name of the insect. This slug feeds on the upper surface of the leaves, not eating holes through them, but taking only the up per portion and leaving the veins bar®. Leaves thus eaten by the slugs dry and fall from the tree and frequently leave the trees entirely bare of foliage. In lowa these slugs appear twice during the season. The first brood appears in June and the slugs be come full grown early in July, while A Pear Slug Enlarged. a, adult saw-fly, female; b, slug with slime removed; c, slug in normal state; d, leaves with slugs, natural size; a, b, c, much enlarged. the second brood comes on during tlie month of August. It would be best, then, to kill off the slugs when they first appear in June, and so prevent the defoliation of the trees by the second brood in August. When the slugs first appear on the leaves the trees should be given a thorough treatment with paris green or some other arsenical poison. Since the slugs feed openly on the upper sides of the leaves there need be lit tle difficulty in combatting them. For only a few trees the paris green may be applied dry, mixed with air slaked lime, or even flour; 1 part of the paris green to 'JO or more parts of the other material. For a liquid spray, paris green at the rate of 1-3 or 1-4 pound to 50 gallons of water will do the work, adding about a pound of quick laine to each barrel of water to pre vent any burning of the leaves. Ar- JILAGE PROPERLY HANDLED HELPFUL Incorrectly Put Up and Fed It May Be Expensive. Silos have been abandoned in many cases because the milk became so badly tainted as to become unsalable. If the creameries and cheese factories were as particular as they should be they would condemn a great deal of milk that is now accepted from silage fed herds. This is not the fault of the silage; it is the fault of the man who handles it. Silage has a very penetrative odor, which is taken up very quickly by milk. If silage is fed before milking the milk is quite certain to become tainted. If the milk is allowed to stand a few minutes in the barn after milk ing and silage is fed while the cans are standing around, the milk will be tainted. If the stable is not ventilated or is poorly ventilated the silag<" odors will linger in the stable and taint the milk, in an iinventilated stable the stable it self will in time become saturated or permeated with the silage odor and will taint the milk, no matter how the silage is handled. The corn is frequently cut into the silo too green, which makes very sour silage, with a strong odor. The silage s frequently carelessly handled in the ?table; it. is scattered through the alleys and allowed to remain on the floors. In such instances the stable will be scented with the silage and the milk will be tainted. 11' good results are expected from silnge it must be properly handled in the stable. First, silage must be fed only after milking. Second, the floors must be kept clean and no si I ago allowed to accumulate in the alleys. Third, there should not be jnoie silage fed Lhan the stock will clear up at once. Fourth, the stable must be well ventilated. Fifth, corn should not be cut in too green. Sixth, don't feed moldy silage. From the foregoing it will lie seen that silage must Y>e more carefully handled than ordinary roughage.

Knapp. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1909. senate of lead, 2 or 3 pounds to 50 gallons of water, will do the work even better than paris green, and Is preferable where it can be obtained easily. Hellebore, applied dry, or in a small quantity of water, is also very effective in killing the slugs. The first brood of the slugs is rather short lived. It requires only about a month from the egg stage to the time the slug matures. During most of the time while it is feeding., the slug is covered with a slimy sub stance, but at the last change of skin the slime is thrown off, and the slug becomes a light orange color, clean and dry. After this molt the slug goes into the ground. Here it forms .1 cell in the earth, within which it changes to the pupa, or resting stage, anil the adult fly emerges in about 12 to 15 days after the slug has en tered the soil. The flies which lay the eggs for the next brood of slugs are rather small black insects, about a fifth of an inch long and with four wings. The eggs are laid in tiny pockets made by the flies in the under sides of the leaves. These eggs hatch and the second brood of the slugs work «n the trees during August and when they become full grown goto the ground. During the winter the slugs of this second brood may be found in their cells beneath the trees which were infested by them in the summer time. The pear, cherry, plum and quince are the trees which are most attacked by these slugs. SOIL BENEFITED BY ALFALFA CROP Three or Four Cuttings During Season Enriches It. When a plant furnishes an abundant crop, such as alfalfa, with three or four cutting during a single season, it is buc natural to think that it will greatly exhaust the soil. Nothing is more erroneous. Instead of taking strength away from the soil it puts more into it; instead of exhausting it, the fertility is increased. The pene trating powers of ill fa'! fa roots are well known. The roots are constantly growing and decaying, thus adding to the "humus" of the soil. The strongest point in favor of alfalfa as a soil im prover it its remarkable nitrogen gathering ability. The roots of al falfa are full of the small nitrogen tubercles which represent bottled up vitality to plant life and it has been proven by frequent experiments that increased yields were the rule when plantings of any kind of crops had been made on ground infected with ni trogen bacteria. Under these circumstances the "spread of Alfalfa fever" is no wcnder. With splendid crops of highest priced hay on top of the ground, with the roots working as perfectly natural fer tilizers under the ground, farmers can do nothing better titan to plant allalfa. The truth of this statement may be realized and verified if one but takes time to look up statistics and reads about the marvelous increase in the acreage of alfalfa. In Kansas alone the acres sown to alfalfa increased from approximately 35,000 acres iD IS9I to more than 743.000 acres in 1907. ' It is safe to say that since then the acreage has increased in propor tion, and othei states are falling in line. —A. Kruhm. There is Profit in Sage. Twenty-five cents' worth of sage seed will furnish about 1,000 plants. Enough sage can be picked the first year to pay lor all the labor of sowing and picking the sage. Early in the spring the plants should be removed, set in rows three feet apart one way and half that distance the other. If the plants are planted in good soil and properly cultivated they can be picked three times each year for s«.ve<«U years. THAT FROZE HIM.

To decide the all important ques tion of coffee, whether or not it is really the hidden cause of physical ails and approaching fixed diseases, one should make a test, of ten days by leaving off coffee entirely and using well-made Postum. If relief follows you may know to a certainty that coffee has been your vicious enemy. Of course you can take it back to your heart again, if you like to keep sick. A lady says:"l had suffered with stomach trouble, nervousness and ter rible sick headaches ever since I was a little child, for my people were al ways great coffee drinkers and let us children have all we wanted. I got so I thought I could not live without coffee, but I would not acknowledge that it caused my suffering. "Then I read so many articles about Postum that I decided to give it a fair trial. I had not used it two weeks in place of coffee until I began to feel like a different person. The headache and nervousness disappeared and whereas I used to he sick two or three days out of a week while drinking cof fee I am now well and strong and sturdy seven days a week, thanks to Postum. "I had been using Postum three months arid had never been sick a day when I thought I would experi ment and see if it really was coffee that caused the trouble, so I began to drink coffee again and inside of a week I had a sick spell. I was so ill I was soon convinced that coffee was the cause of all my misery and I went back to Postum with the result that I was soon well and strong again and determined to stick to Postum and leave coffee alone in the future."
