r ) Escape the Main Attack of the Fly --sow your wheat late. The early brood is most destructive to young wheat and provides for future broods. Your own Experiment Station will tell you this. T HE Best Wheat Yields come from plants that enter the winter strong and vigorous. Your own experience will tell you this. T O Win Against the Fly, seed late, feed the crop with available fertilizers which will hasten growth to overcome the; late start, and: secure vigor with consequent resistance to later broods. Use 200 to 400 pounds per acre containing at least 2 per cent, of ammonia. Acid phosphate alone does not give the necessary quick growth and resistance to the fly. In Farmers' Bulletin No. 640, U. S.

When a baby has convulsions, it generally means one of two things; either it is suffering from toxaemia, or poisoning, which is usually the result of errors in the diet, or else there is some serious trouble with the nervous nervous system. If feeding is at the bottom bottom of the trouble, find out the error and correct it, and the attacks will cease. When there is organic trouble trouble present, the case is more serious. The attack may be stopped but it is likely 1 to recur if . the underlying cause persists. Such are the convulsions caused by meningitis, or acute inflammation inflammation of the brain coverings, and by hydrocephalus, or water pressing on the brain. It is unnecessary to describe the symptoms, for the most inexperienced person knows when a baby is having a convulsion. In other people a tendency to convulsions indicates an unstable nervous system, and that is probably true of infants who have convulsions in consequence of dietary errors that would leave stronger children children unaffected. Children who have convulsions in their first year often suffer from night terrors, tics, and other signs of nervous instability later in life. Sometimes commisions are the first signs of, an epilepsy that is to appear in after years. The first thing to do when a baby falls into a convulsion is to get it into a warm bath as quickly as possible .That is done to relieve blood tension and equalize the circulation, and to this end it is well to give cold applications applications to the head at the same time. Do not hesitate to give the hot bath. Sometimes inexperienced people who dread to make a mistake insist on waiting until the doctor conies. But the hot bath for a baby in convulsions can never be a mistake. The doctor should be called without delay, because because in severe cases the bath must be followed by sedative and relieving treatment that he. only will know how to employ. There is one important "don't" to remember--don't put-anything put-anything into the child's mouth--either food, medicine or stimulant--while you are waiting for the doctor.--The Youth's Companion.

More Attention Is Being Paid to Their Protection. That the shade tree increases the value of property, and adds much to the beauty of surroundings is being more and more appreciated. Municipal Municipal corporations are encouraging the planting of trees in greater numbers numbers as well as protecting those they already have.' Many estimates have been made as to the actual cash value of a growing shade tree, but all concede concede that its aesthetic greatly exceeds its monetary value. In the transfer of real estate, a favorably situated shade tree will enhance the value of the property out of all proportion to the intrinsic value of the tree. From a financial standpoint, therefore, the shade trees should be protected. Several railways are giving careful attention to the trees. Not only are they protecting, by special patrols and otherwise the forests along their lines, but, at no inconsiderable expense, expense, they are protecting them on their rights-of-way. One railway line was diverted from its originally planned route to save two handsome maple trees. Considerable attention and much favorable comment has been bestowed upon this considerate action action of the railway corporation. * SNEEZING SUPERSTITIONS. Strange ' Beliefs and Customs of the Long .Ago. Sneezing, from very remote times, has been held ominous. Our forefathers went to bed again again if they sneezed while putting on their shoes! A sneeze to the right was deemed lucky; to the left, of evil portent. To sneeze near a burial place was very unlucky. Tradition" has it that sneezing was at first a fatal sign--every human being being sneezed but once, and then died-- but Jacob petitioned the Creator to remove the sneezing ban, and succeeded. succeeded. Thence arose the once universal custom df saluting a sneezer with "God bless you!" or "May you live long!" The custom still obtains in some parts of the Continent. In England not only was a sneezer blessed, but friends raised their hats to him as well! In an old book, "The Code of Conduct," it was directed that "if his lordship sneezes ye are not to howl out/God bless you!' but bow* to him handsomely." All over the world the sneeze was recognized. Whole nations were under orders to make exclamations exclamations when ' their king sneezed. Sneezing was believed to be a sure cure for hiccough, and was also looked looked upon as a sigh of sanity. If ancient ancient and universal belief goes for anything, it is good to sneeze. : --> HARVEST THAT NEVER ENDS. Wheat Cut Throughout the Year in Different Countries. All through the year .wheat is being harvested. In January it is being cut in the great fields of the Argentine and in New Zealand. In February and March it is out in the East Indies and Egypt. The wheat fields are harvested harvested in April in Cyprus, Asia Minor, Persia and Cuba, and in May in China and Japan. June is the busiest harvest harvest month of the whole year for then Turkey, Greece, Spain and South-, ern ; France, as . well as most of the Southern - States of America, are all cutting wheat. The more northerly States of America, as well as Austria, Germany and parts of Russia, do their wheat harvesting in July. August sees the wheat, crop gathered in Great Britain; and 'September and October for-Sweden and Norway.

Judging from the rate at which the wild creatures of North America are now-, being destroyed, fifty years hence there will be no large game left in the United States nor in Canada, outside outside of rigidly protected game preserves. preserves. It is therefore the duty of every good citizen to promote the protection of forests and wild life and the creation of .game preserves, while a supply of : game remains. Every man who finds pleasure in hunting or fishing should be .willing to spend both time and money in active work for the protection of forests, fish and game. In' the settled and civilized regions of North America, there is no real necessity for the consumption of wild game as human food; nor is there any good excuse for the sale of game for food purposes. The operations of market hunters should be prohibited everywhere, under severe penalties. The highest purpose which the killing killing of wild game and game fishes can hereafter be made to serve is in furnishing furnishing objects to overworked men for tramping and camping trips in the wilds, and the value of wild game as human food should no longer be regarded as an important factor in its pursuit.--Code of Ethics, Michigan Wild Life League. ♦> An Imputation Scorned.
