Timely Hints for the Home Gardener.

Washington, D. C., April 18.—Tomatoes, cabbages, sweet potatoes, lettuce and other truck plants, especially those which are started under glass and transplanted, are subject to serious injury by' cutworms. These pests appear sometimes in great numbers in the spring and early summer, and frequently do severe injury before their ravages are noticed. Their method of attack bo to cut off young plants at about the surface of the ground and they are capable of destroying many plants in a single night. The usual method of control is by the use of poisoned baits. Take a bushel of dry bran, add 1 pound of white arsenic or Paris green, and mix it thoroughly into mash with 8 gallons of water in which has been stirred half a gallon of sorghum or other cheap molasses. This amount will be sufficient for 4 or 5 acres of cultivated crops. After the mash has stood for several hours, scatter it, in lumps about the size of a marble, over the fields where the injury is beginning to appear and about the bases of the plants set out. Apply late in the day, so as to place the poison about the plants before night, which is the time when the cutworms are active. Keep children, live stock and chickens away from this bait, as it is deadly poison. In extremely severe attacks by cutworms #n choice plants there is sometimes no opportunity to prepare the poisoned bait. In such cases an arsenate of lead spray will answer quite as well. In one instance a parsley field was sprayed with 4 pounds of arsenate of lead to 50 gallons of water; this killed all the cutworms, whereas if they had been left alone for a day or two longer the field probably would have been destroyed. The result was a perfect stand— the best ever made by the grower. In case five applications were necessary

Four of Our Naval Recruits Are Turned Down.

(Charles P. Semtella, John Reed, Cecil Lee and Edward Honan, who were signed by H. H. Smith, navy recruiting officer, failed to pass the physical examination required and have been rejected. Two recruits, James Barber and Raymond Oixie, passed and were immediately sent to Chicago from Indianapolis. Wade Jarrette, who failed on one physical examination, will be allowed to remain in the service with special papers. Honan was rejected on account of defective eyesight. Contrary to general belief, the government is very strict in examination of recruits even in time® such as these when illions of men are needed for the service and everyone will be forced to undergo a rigid test. Recruiting Officer Montgomery is still busy and expects to have more ecruits this week. Five young men from Remington are said to have joined the navy within the past two or three days.

REALLY WENT UP SALT RIVER

Action of Defeated Office-Seeker In Kentucky Gave Rise to Baying Now Used All Over Country. The people of the United States have always been prone and quick to catch a happy or unhappy remark or phrase In politics and to make the most of it to the advantage of one or the disadvantage of .another party, observes the Christian Science Monitor. Some leaders are happy even In their most casual expressions. Lincoln was one of these. Grant was another. It used to be said that the difference between Lincoln and his greatest general was that, while one dropped pearls of speech, the other dropped the pearls of silence. Nevertheless, when Grant said that he proposed to “fight it out on this line if it takes aU summer” and when he said, “Let us have peace,” he furnished his friends with political campaign material of the first order. They were sayings as simple as “With charity toward all; with malice toward none,” or “You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all tie time," and because they were simple they were remembered. Once, a long time ago, a defeated of-fice-seeker, in order to “get himself together/’ left home as soon as he became aware of the result of the polls. A friend, inquiring for him a little later, was Informed by a member of his family that he had gone up Salt river. Shit river was and Is a modest little stream that rises in the hill country of Kentucky, and after flowing through a more or less picturesque district for about a score of miles, empties into the Ohio. It was in those days a good fishing creek, and the kind of stream a jaded and disappointed politician might naturally fancy. There was not a thing wrong about his excursion. Yet his political enemies got hold of the. remark that he had “gone up Salt river” and used it to imply that this meant the end of his public career.

The saying spread from Kentucky Into other states and for more than half a century it has been used to express the idea that a politician has been “driven to the woods" for good. “He’s gone up Salt river” has come to mean, In fact, that a politician has “been put out or business,” has been so badly beaten that he cannot “come back,” “has seen his finish.”

The Future of the Classics.

The languages and literatures of Greece and Rome will always remain attractive fields for students whose tastes and natural capacities are chiefly literary, and especially for men of letters, authors, and professional students Of language; but It is* certain that they are soon to cease to make a prescribed part of general secondary and higher education, writes Charles W. Eliot in the Atlantic. There are too many histories, too many new sciences with applications of great Importance, and too many new literatures of high merit which have a variety of modem uses, to permit any one, not bound to the classics by affectionate associations and educational tradition, to believe that Latin can maintain the place it has held for centuries in the youthful training of educated men, a place which it acquired when It was the common speech of scholars, and bus held for centuries without any such good reason. For this loss of status by Latin genuine classical scholars will naturally console themselves with the reflection that It has never been possible to give an unwilling boy any real acquaintance with the Latin .language or any tove tfT Latin literature by compelling him to take three “units” of Latin at school and a course or two of Latin in college.

Six Cities One should See.

There are at least six at ties on this continent which everyone should see, says Julian Street in Collier’s. Everyone should" see New York because it is the largest city in the world, and because it combines the magnificence, the wonder, the beauty, the soundness and the shame of a great metropolis; everyone should see San Francisco because it is so vivid, so alive, so golden; everyone should see Washington, the clean, white splendor of which Is like the embodiment of a national dream; everyone should see the old gray granite city of Quebec piled on its hlil afaove the river like l6me fortffled town in France; everyone should see the sweet and aristocratic city of Charleston, which suggests a museum .of fraditiqp and early-Amorioan elegance, and of course everyone should see New Orleans.— /

The Song Bird’s Moods.

All our birds use what we call their voices, just as we use ours, for the purposes of expression generally, and I am convinced that bird song proper, though oftenest the expression of some phase of the tender passion, Is not confined to such expression, In a limited way birds have their lyric and their dramatic moods, their, serious and their comic songs, their recitative and their oratorical methods. Bird song has come, It seems to me, In response to a growth of the natural desire for a means of expression. Language is the highest mode of expression, and bird song is a beautiful and witching, but very imperfect, language.—fexchange.

FAN MEANS MUCH IN JAPAN

Every Native Carrie* One and It Haa Much Significance, According As It Is Used. It is no exaggeration to say that In Japan everybody carries a fan, and a /an means a great many things, according as it Is used. . There is an enormous variety of fans. The cheapest and most usual forms are familiar to everyone. On# of the most curious varieties is the Iron war fan. This ,was invented in the eleventh century for the use of military commanders, either for direction of their soldiers or as a shield for defence. It is made of leather or Iron. The water fans are made of bamboo, i and are thinly lacquered, so that they may be dipped In water to secure extra coolness while fanning. Another kind Is the revolving white fan, which clings around Its stick, and can be rolled up. Another strong, flat paper fan is used *8 bellows to blow the charcoal fire in the kitchen. The “agi” are folding fans. They are painted with flowers and tied with white silk. These are the court fans, and different flowers are appropriated by different great families. Sometimes an innocent-looking fancase holds a dagger, WWie*treaeW|js carry notes on their sermons in theirs. All the old legends are told by the arrangement of houses, figures and birds painted on the faces of the fans. An endless etiquette is Involved in the use of fans. With the Japanese, in fact, the fan is an emblem of life. The rivet end is the starting point, and as the rays of the fan expand so the road of life widens out towards a prosperous future. rr..— ; ■-:v—'

The Overt Act Again.

Billy and Nemo were great friends, Billy was a goat and Nemo a young thoroughbred Dull. They spent many hours each day, heads together, pushing one another about, the bull’s greater weight doing all the pushing. The whole bam lot was dug up by Billy’s sharp hoofs. One day, when engaged In their favorite pastime, Nemo’s stubby homs became locked in Billy’s curly ones. It seemed for a time that they could not “let go.” Then Nemo gave a mighty toss of his head, throwing Billy dear over him. Billy landed right side up with a shrill cry that seemed to say, “You’re too dinged rough.” He pranced aronnd in front of Nemo and with a mighty burst of speed planted a “knockout” blow In the center of Nemo’s forehead. With a stifled moan, Nemo fell to the ground “for the count.” Billy surveyed the wreck, then strode haughtily away, but never after were Billy and Nemo seen In their old sport—lndianapolis News.

Germs of Malaria Hibernate In Man.

M. B. Mltzmain of the United States public health service, went mosquito hunting in Mississippi between February and June, 1916. He wanted to find out where the malaria germs hibernated. There is little or no malaria during the winter. He caught more than 2,000 anopheles mosquitoes, all females, but. not one of them contained the parasites. At the same time he examined the blood of 1,184 human beings and found that 492 ol them carried the germs. From this he came to the conclusion that man and not the mosquito is responsible for perpetuating malaria from season to season. Which leads the Scientific American to suggest that the way to rid mosquitoes of malaria Is to exterminate men. £

Caring for Watch at Night.

'The care of the watch at night or when it is not In use Is an Important Item, concerning which the bureau of standards states: “At night, or when the watch is not In use, it Is desirable to leave the watch In the same position as during the day, and preferably in some place where it will not be subject to any great temperature change. If It Is desirable to leave the watch in a horizontal position during the night for the sake of compensating iuiy considerable gaining or losing of the watch In the pendant-up position, to avoid marked temperature changes should be observed, and the regularity with which such a change of position Is carried out may be as Important as regularity of winding.

Apology and Disavowal.

When the lights went out Mr. and Mrs. Occy Wattles were entertaining company—friends of Mrs. Wattles, but comparative strangers to Occy. They sat and talked through the dark age, and when the current was restored Occy was seen . furtively to take his pocketbook out of his shoe and return if to his pocket “What did you do that for?” Mrs. Wattles demanded after the visitors had gone. “I never was so mortified in my life!” “Well,” he admitted, “I guess that was a little raw. I ought’a* waited until they left before I put it back.*'— Kansas City Star.

Soldier Boy.

To die for our country is noble, To live for our country is grand; To be willing to serve when we’re mustered Is a duty we owe to our land. With love and friendship for others, With a jieart that is noble and true, Is the man that'the country is calling, Oh, soldier boy, is this really you? Our 'best we owe to our country, In friendship and service and love, But remember, dear boys, there’s one seeth, All actions, and deeds, from above. And if prompted by malice or hatred We rush to the field ve are lead, Grave charges may be laid against u.i When they pick up and number dead. Not by man, no, no, but our Maker, The one who is wisest and best; He will judge you and also your brother, The one that you send to his rest. So dear boys, be sure your motives Are clean when you offer yourself; For many are wild with excitimeni; And some, just a bright laughing elf. God pity and look with compassion, On the fathers and mothers who gave Such beautiful, brige, shining treasures To lie in a lone soldier’s grave. War is a blood thirsting monster Making of brothers hard foes, And long and hard It is knocking At the door of our country with woes, Woes that will darken the nation With the pall of the mourner’s sad cry Woes that will suckle the lifeblood Of brave men, for their country who die. Woes that are varied and tragic, Causing our nation to quake, Robbings the babes in the cradle, For many a father it will take. Oh that forever and ever, Men would cease with their strife; That’s causing such sorrow and heartache . ... And destroying so much precious life. Let us seek peace and pursue it, And every nation march in the van, And give to our God real heart service, * By kindness and love, man to man. Clarice A. Robart, Kniman, Ind. (All rights reserved.)
