{ There are not lacking at the fair
the usual extras in the way of side
shows and interesting 'little booths
| where one gets something for noth-
ing and more often nothing for some-
I thing, the latter generally being a
"nickel or a dime. A big Ferris wheel
takes the votaries of pleasure amid-
sky and is a rival to the aeroplane.
A large carnival company with a
great variety of attractions shows in
the afternoon and in the evening.
In the town during the day the
streets are fairly packed with autos
and in the evening the younger peo-
ple hold high revelry in the way of
confetti salutations and the blowing
of horns and the beating of drums
that ought to arouse some of the lat-
ent of the place into action. All in all
the fair is a great success and you
are missing it, my readers, if you are
not one of us to attend.

ALFALFA SEED PEST DANGE™OUS
' Harvesting Severely Infested Crops,
| Cleaning Fence and Ditch Banks,
| and Winter Cultivation, Are Meth
| ods Recommended.
The alfalfa seed destroyer, known
as the chalcis fly, does its destructive
work in clover or alfalfa seeds, from
the gulf coast to the northern limits
of the United States, according to the
U. S. Department of Agriculture's spe-
clalist, who has personally seen the
widespread devastation of this pest.
By harvesting severely infested crops,
by cleaning fence lines and ditch
| banks, and by winter cultivation, the
grower of alfalfa seed may help to
control this insect. A new Farmers’
Bulletin (No. 636) entitled “The Chal-
cis Fly in Alfalfa Seed,” gives the de-
tails of these methods of control, and
may be had free of charge on applica-
tion to the department.
The chalcis fly under the microscopé
is a formidable looking insect, but
confused with the gnat. These pests
may be seen in great numbers flying
over alfalfa seed shocks and swarming
over the sickle bar when the alfalfa
is being cut. The eggs are so small as
to be invisible to the naked eye, and
are deposited through the soft, green
pods directly into the soft seeds when
the pods are about half grown. Im-
mediately upon becoming a fly the in-
sect eats its way out through the
shells of the infested seeds, then
through the green pods. Large por-
tions of the sceds are hollowed out
in this manner when they are still
green and growing.
The infested seeds, which still con-
may be recognized by their abnormal
shape and usually by the dull brown
color. Some of the infested seeds,
but they always lack the glossy ap-
pearance of normal seeds. The ex-
owing to the minuteness of the insect
and because its destructive work is ac-
complished within the growing seeds.
The alfalfa seed grower can only esti-
mate the percentage of his crop de-
the seed pods and observing the in-
| fested seeds.

when seen in the field it is frequently*|

however, retain their natural color, '

Cake Hints
A good pinch of salt improves any
cake.
Half water, instead of milk, makes
a lighter cake.
If your cake rises in a mountain in
the middle the reason {s your dough
was too thick.
If it goes down ia the middle your
dough was teo rich, too much sugar.
The cause of large holes in cakes. is
too much baking powder.
To sprinkle flour in greased pane
prevents cake from sticking.
A pan of water in the bottom of the
oven keeps the bottom of a cake from
burning.
A paper over the tin keeps the top
from burning.
Household Hints.
| The odor of fresh paint may We re-
=| moved from a room by simply stand-
ing a pail of water in an inconspicu
ous place. The water should be re-
newed every three or four hours.
"White marks on a polished table
caused by hot dishes or water may be
removed by rubbing camphorated oil
well into the wood.
A Time Saver.
Before laundering undergarments
run with ribbon, catch one end of the
ribbon to a piece of narrow tape, then
pull out the ribbon and let the tape
remain run through the beading until
after the garment is washed and
ironed. .
To clean steel knives, cut a potato
in halves, dip it in brick dust and
| then rub on the metal. The tuber af-
i fords just enough moisture to give re-
| sults.
Lemon juice and salt applied to cop-
per will remove dirt like magic. Af-
| terward the copper should be polished
with a soft dry cloth.

laughter in the world will not give

Health Notes.
The greatest care should be taken
of the teeth. Equal parts of castile
soap, powdered orris root nd precipi-
sive tooth powder.
Nail biting can be cured by will
power alone in older people, as fit
comes from nervousness. With chil-
dren dip the ends of the fingers in
quinine or a little extract of quassin.
Extreme temperatures should be
avoided in the bath. The extremely
cold bath often is a shock to the sys-
tem. Sixty degrees Fahrenheit is a
good temperature for the bath, both
| summer and winter.
You can make a shade for the gas
! in a sickroom by using an ordinary
asbestos stove mat with a ring in it.
Twist a piece of wire around the burn-
er, leaving the upper end free and
bend into a hoop shade; then hang
the mat to this.
Eat slowly and taste your food well,
and it will slide down and give more
nourishment than food eaten quickly.
Never eat when tired or overexhaust-
ed, but lie down, even if only for a
few minutes, before dining.
Using Ashes.
Even ashes may be effectively used,
but they must be ashes of wood only;
Sifted over a lawn they make an
excellent fertilizer protecting the roots
of the grass and sweetening the soil,
This should be done in the late au-
tumn and the ashes should be damp to
prevent their being scattered by the
wind.
