This is the season when picnickers. blackberry pickers, and others, are commonly annoyed by minute creatures known as chiggers, or red bugs, which burrow into the skin and cause an itching which as unpleasant. ~ Chiggers odbur in blackberry bushes, shrubbery, grass, including lawns, weedy places and the like, and persons walking or sitting down in such locations are liable to attack. The annoyance from chiggers, however, may be largely prevented by certain precautions, advises Prof. J. J. Davis, head of the department of ! entomology of Purdue University. Persons finding it necessary to frequent places likely to be infested with chiggers will find an excellent preventive in the free use of sulphur, sifting some of the finely powdered flowers of sulphur about the neck, through the cothing, in the socks and shoes. Lawns infested may be ridded of the pest by dragging a piece of heavy cloth, such as gunny sack, which has been wet with kerosene, over the entire surface of the lawn. The cloth should be thorougly wet with kerosene and then wrung out, up that there will be no drip before dragging over the lawn. In heavy e infestations, this dragging may be followed by a dusting of the sulphur. Dusting sulphur on lawns without using the kerosene drag often is effective, and dusting with sulphur is the only method where shrubbery is infested. If exposure to chiggers has been unavoidable, or precautions Suggested! above have not been followed, it is advisable to take a bath in hot Water, or in water containing salt or strong soap, within a few hours after expos- ’ ure. If irritation has already set in. relief may be obtained by applying a moderate strength of -ammonia, or a saturated solution of common baking soda to the affected parts. Thedb materials have a oooling effect and eliminate the irritation to a large extent

Os the 50 senators in the state legislature, 12 are farmers, states the Foundation, and 34 out of the members of the lower house list themselves as agriculturists. A few divide their time between farming and ” banking, farming and insurance, or some other profession or occupation in addition to their farm interests. lowa, with a farm population of 46 per cent, has 99 farmers in its legislature membership of 158, the highest proportion of any of the states studied, the Foundation states. Pennsylvania, with its 11 perdent farm population, has only 15 farmers in its legislature out of a total of 258 members. Mrs. Mabel A. Gillespie of Gretna, a member of the Nebraska lower house. Is the only farmer’s wife on record holding a legislative job. I. The tatio of representation of farmers in congress is lower than the average found in the state legislatures, according to the Foundation.

• I HOUSEHOLD HINTS If celery has become wilted, stand it in the refrigerator in I a pitcher of *cold water containing a teaspoonful of salt. Carrots Mid have become shriveled need not be discarded. They will do nicely for flavoring soups and stews. Grass stains may be removed from white goods by sponging with ammonia water. For silk, alcohol or chloroform is better. When the glass stopper x>f a perfume bottle sticks, pour a little glycerin about the neck of the stopper and let stand for a while, after which it may be easily removed. Buttermilk makes just as good a homemade cheese as does sour milk. It makes slightly less to the gallon but the curd is mpch finer.and it has a different flavor. Instead- of wearing gloves when sweeping, glue a six-inch strip of felt or velvet, or any other soft material around the grip of your broom handle and vou will not have blistered hands again. s When anything has become &tuck in the kettles, pour a little water in them, cover loosely with a lid and allow the steam to do the hard work for you. In a little time you can easily scrape off the sides of the kettle. It\ isn’t fair to call Dayton, Tenn., the “Monkey Town,” but i how about other towns aping it? |
