He shows no periscope before he chewed off at the ground line. ~~ ~ Cutworms ‘are often numerous in arden patches in which a rank growth of weeds occurred the pre- yea Late and frequent cul- (By Samuel G.

The boundary line formed by the Rio Grande is so long and fortuous, that our little army of sanitarians is not able to prevent many of the Mexicans from coming into eur midst without Any. sa’ Lary treatment. The danger obvious. : _ There is, at present, a good amount of scientific evidence that the cause of typhus fever ds a bacillus that is found in the body of lice feeding on typhus fever patients. While the scientific workers continue to pursue to prove further ‘the guilt of the bacillus for our typhus fever, we are fortunate to know that whatever it may be is carried in the body louse, and there is a fair degree of sus- picion that the head louse may also carry the organism. ° The body louse delights in woolen clothing and can make itself very much at home in cotton spun ma- terial. To prevent the introduction of ty- phus fever from Mexico into the States, no Mexican should be trans- ported across the boundary line with- out a permit, given by the United States Bureau of Public Health Ser- vice. Al health officers should be on the lookout for the newly-arrived Mexicans, who are now settling in construction camps. and, around the centers of the great industries, and when these foreigners are found and fail to show a ¢lean bill of health, they should be examined for lice, If these are found, the clothes of the patient should be burned and the body should be shaven, washed and wrapped in a sheet soaked with a mix- ture of one-half kerosene and one- half vinegar, while the head should be wrapped in cheese cloth which has been soaked in this same mixture. In looking for. the lice, it is well to remember that when you begin to strip the clothing they immediately make their retreat into its fabric. This makes it very essential to examine the clothing and, if lice are found there, it is certain that there are some on the body and therefor® the pro- cess of ‘disinfecting is essential. 4 If conditions will not permit of the destruction of “clothing, it should be baked until all signs of life have been destroyed, or boiled in water for at least twenty minutes. - If infected lice are carried across our border into our midst typhus fever may become epidemic in many carrying the lice are very apt to get into crowded housing conditions, where the lice have-every opportunity of infecting a large number of peo- le. a p If ‘health officers have proof that these foreigners have come from in- fected districts, they should be held in quarantine for about twelve days after cleansed, days. og Eg Typhus fever is a very fatal d ease, yet the death rate can be great~ preventive measures. Incidentally, cultivation benefits the garden, also: ar | A simple means of arming trans- planted crops against cutworm at- tack is to wrap the plant with paper when it is set in the permanent bed. This collar should extend two or three inches into the ground and pro- | trude the same distance above the ground. Seeded crops liable to cutworm at- tack should be protected by. dropping near the rows when the plants are intend to keep up the basic supply of seeded, a poison bran mash composed ' of one quart of bran, one teaspoon- | our home people to listen to advice one - tablespoonful from those who are versed in preven- cheap molasses and the juice from a | tive medicine and to heed such ad- small piece of lemon and water to’ ful Paris green, moisten. Such a mixture is poisonous ' the necessity ‘of following out sani- to chickens and other livestock. ‘The larva of the cabbage maggot | fish gain, if not because of the moral |. attacks the cabbage stem at the ground line, gnawing off the succu- lent bark. The plants break off or wilting occurs. Control of the mag- got is difficult. The maggot lays its eggs at the base of the plant. Its dislike of creosote and to crawling under any object are utilized to good advantage in preventing its ravages by placing a creosoted disk of paper around the stem of the plant when it is set in the field. : The cabbage worm is another wveg- etable enemy. The white or yellow cabbage butterflies so often seen in the spring lay their eggs on the leaves of the cabbage and the larvae hatch- ed from these eggs feed on the leaves. ‘When the butterflies are observed, the plants should be dusted, preferably when wet with dew, with a mixture of one part of powdered arsenate of lead and nine parts slaked lim~. Be- fore the cabbage is mature the arse- nate will have been washed off. Cabbage aphis or cabbage plant louse is sometimes troublesome. It is a softbodied, awkward, grayish: or greencolored bug. It feeds by sucking the plant juices. Plants at- tacked by the aphis are stunted and may fail to head at all. Control measures consist of spraying with a tobacco solution made by mixing nico- | tine sulphate, commercial form, one part with 500 parts water. A home- made substitute may be prepared by boiling gently for an hour one pound of whole or ground tobacco stems in one gallon of water. This liquid is mixed with one to two parts of water. The spray must hit the bugs to be of service. Preparedness in the garden will offset insect ravages, but eternal vig- ilance is neceasary.

Yoder JOHNSTOWN Sells the Champion Cream Saver TE NEW DE LAVAL — LMOST any separator will do fairly good work when it is brand new, perfectly adjusted and skimming warm milk from freshened cows. But a separator cam’t always be new, cows can’t always be fresh, nor can you always separate your milk while it is at 85 ) . In other words, your separating is done under practical conditions, and the sensible thing to do is to get a prac- tical separator. i The NEW De Laval is the most practical separator you can buy because it is the only separator that you can depend upon to skim clean under any and all conditions of milk and temperature, and to deliver cream of uniform thickness. If you want to own a separator that will do its work better than any other, and do it without constant tinkering and adjustment, then the NEW De Laval is the machine to buy. ‘While this statement has always been true of De Laval machines, it is true today to an even greater degree than ever before because of the many improvements in the NEW De a val. The new self-centering bowl which gives the machine greater capacity and skimming efi- ciency, the De Laval bell speed-indicater, ° which alone would be worth many dollars a year to a cow owner, the improved auto- matic oiling system and’ the many other im- provements found in no other make Oo machine, make the NEW De Laval by far the most satisfactory separator to operate gand the most profitable to own. You can buy a NEW De Laval from ug on liberal terms.
