IP IMPORTANT TO FARMERS. Letter From Special Agent Ross of U. S. Department of Agriculture. I cannot get over a large part of my district in time for soy bean planting. I am anxious that this plant, the most valuable ad dition to the list of recent years, be tested in all six of the counties, Cambria, Blair, Huntingdon, Somerset, Bedford and Fulton. The varieties I have on hand are, with the exception of three, not for sale commercially; and are heavier yielders than the commercial varieties. My sup ply of seed is limited. No variety shows the same habits in all districts; differences of soil and climate affect them all; and what may be of great value elsewhere may not be so good here. For this reason the variety tests proposed cover from 5 to 8 varieties planted side by side. The tests are to determine the yielding power, frost resistauce, the percentage of loss of seed through pods shattering in the field and the ability of each vari ety to hold its leaves while ripen ing beans. For dairy work the soy bean is invaluable; for meat production it heads the list of annual plants. It is one of the very few plants from which a crop can be taken and the soil improved- at the same time. By the use of the soy bean, clover and vetch (of which latter I will write later,) poor lands can rapidly be built up without any halt m the croping system; in fact the crops taken will be of very much greater value than those under our present rotation, while the land is being steadily built up to a high state of fertili ty. The secret lies in the power of these three legumes to draw nitrogen from the air and potash and phosphoric acid from the subsoil. I will send out soy beans for those tests to thos e applying for them only while the seed on hand lasts. I will inoculate the seed before sending it, and planting should then be at once after re ceipt of the seed. Lots su Bicient to plant i to i acre will be seut out; and those applying must state how much land they have ready or are preparing, and when they will plant. Planting should not be delayed now. The crop will belong to the planter, of course; but we expect him to make out a report of the expert ment on a form which will be made as simple and plain as possi ble. The wise farmer will save seed from the varieties showing the greatest local value. Those which fail to mature must be left and turned under. Last year none failed to mature, though some varieties were planted at a much later date than this. If it should be necessary to turn un der some, however, the added sup ply of humus will more than pay for the labor and - trouble. Should there be more calls than we can till, a list will be made and those to whom we do not send seed will bo advised later of the results of the tests and of where and at what price they can get seed for 1912; and the price of the seed will be reasonable.

Timely Discussion of an Important Topic. An editor of one of the large Pennsylvania daily newspapers wrote to Prof. U. A. Surface, State Zoologist, Harrisburg, that one of his readers had asked what to do. "to prevent worms fiom cutting tomato plants as fast as planted." As Cut Worms are unusually abundant and destructive this spriDg, the reply of Prof. Sur face may help many persons with needed information: "Your inquirer does not state what kind of worms are 'cutting his tomato plants,' nor does be describe In detail how the work is dodo. As it is possible for this injury to come from any one of several kinds of pests, 1 can be safein guessing which one is causing the trouble. The reme dies vary with the nature of the pest. However, I presume It is done by the cutworm, which cuts off the plants at night near the surface of the ground. "While this is one of the most seriously destructive pests throughput the State destroying nearly all kinds of garden and field plants, yet it u one that is easily controlled if the gardener but knows how. The best reme dy for the cut worm is known as the, poison bran mash. This is made by mixing one part of pans green with forty or fifty parts of dry bran. After it is thoroughly mixed pour over it some water to which has been added a little strong molasses. Use enough of this sweetened water to dam pen it slightly. "In the evening put a small pinch of this, such as one-fourth teaspoon ful or less, at the base of each plant, or drop it along two or three feet apart in the row where the plants are set, or where they are to be planted. It can also be used in the same way in corn rows in fields to de stroy the cut worms there. "I know a good Lancaster coun ty farmer who last year cleaned up the cut worms in his entire corn field hy mixing the dry pois on bran and sowing it by hand broadcast over the surface of the ground, after the corn was plant ed. He replied to me that he had a good crop of corn without dam age by the cut worms, while his neighbors had to replant. "If one is afraid of fowls taking the poison bran, it can be applied by putting it under boards, or by dropping it on the soil near the plants, and putting a little loose damp earth over it" Work Will Soon Start after you take Dr. King's New Life Pills, and you'll quickly en joy their fine results.

Cut clover hay when about half the blossoms are brown; cut tim othy just as the bloom is falling, Curing clover: Cut it as soon as the dew is off in the morning. At noon shake out the bunches, rake into windrows before evening dews get on it, and let it lie next day, Next day shake out the hay as soon as the dew is off. You ought to be ready to haul, on a hot day, by eleven o'clock, ' or certainly alter dinner. It spoils clover hay to get too dry. It should never be put into the barn when wet with rain or dew; but a little sap won't hurt it Curing timothy: If the crop is not too heavy and rank, cut as soon as the dew is off, let it cure a lew hours, rake into windrows, and haul to the barn the same day, If crop is rank; cut it in the after noon; it will wilt some during the night and dew will not hurt it, Next day's sun will dry it in a few hours when it can be raked into windrows; haul it to the barn in the early afternoon.

The Great Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brother's circus will give two performances in Cham bersburg on Monday June 19th. In New York City this show is considered the best of all Ameri can amusement institutions. For nearly fifty years it has held first place in the esteem of the public In fact of the world, tor there is not a country on earth that is civilized where at some time or another it has not pitched . its many acres of tents. The sensation with the show this year is the automobile dou ble somersault in mid air, accom plished by a young French wo man not yet out of teens. For uttar recklessness and apparent disregard of death this act stands pre eminent. The heavy car shoots with lightning speed down a slender incline, leaps high in air and while the audience is gasping it turns two complete re volutions in space, then dropping with terrific force to a steel plat form. This is the most thrilling of all the world's thrillers. Cii- cuses in the past have exploited a tame affair billed as a double somersaulting automobile act, but when the truth is known but one and one half revolutions were accomplished. This is the only act of genuine character that has been seen in this country. It is a French importation. Other thrills are added by the Ty-Boll "Human Butter files." They are three beautiful French girls who, clinging by the teeth to slender steel wires, are drawn to the dome of the tent, where by means of hidden mechanism they are made to dive, dart and piourette like birds while a bat tery of electric spot lights and calciums bathe them infantastie colors. The act is the most sen sational and at the same time the most beautiful aerial spectacle ever devised. The parade which the show is giving this year is three miles long and absolutely new in ideas from start to finish. Over 1,000 people, 550 horses and three herds of elephants are seen in it. The entire equipment of the show is new and the . menagerie is the most complete collection of rare animals in America. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by by constitutional remedies. Deaf ness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucoused lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumb liug sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will bo destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces, We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
