GARDEN WORK FOR SUNE.
The things planted last month
will soon be tough and stringy.
Make additional plantings of sweet
corn, tomatoes, lima beans and
canteloupes. If the sweet pota
toes have not been set out. do so
at once as the earlier it is done the
better the potatoes will taste in the
fall. Sow seeds of cabbage, toma
toes and collards for fall use. See
that poles or stakes are furnished
for the running variesiies of beans.
Do net cultivate the plants in the
garden while the dew is on. This
often spreads disease. Be sure
you have a supply of cans and save
the surplus—don’t let anything
spoil. Put up everything you have
left over each day even if it is only
a pint of beans or peas. It will be
surprising what you will have at
the end of the season. If you don’t
have the cans, remember okra,
pepjJfers and sweet corn can be
dried for winter, and sieve beans
and lima beans can be dried on the
vine.
WATCH FOR CUT WORMS.
The cool weather favors cut
worms and they are busy. Don't
let them destroy veur crops. They
can be readily controlled by using
a poisoned bait made up as follows:
Mix up 1 pound of Paris green
with 25 pounds of wheat bran.
Take about 3 gallons of water,
squeeze the juice of 3 oranges or
lemons into it, chop up the rind
• and pulp into fine bits and add this.
To this diluted fruit juice add 2
quarts of cheap molasses or syrup.
Mix the poisohed bran and the
sweetened fruit juice together un
til you have a dough.
Scatter this broadcast over in
fested fields at the rate 2 to 4
pounds per acre. It should be
scattered out in flakes instead of
lumps. This is important to re
member where there is stock and
whece there are chickens to get it.
, In the garden apply broadcast
around injured hills and along
fence rows from which the worms
emerge. The bait should be ap
plied just after sundown. It is
well not to make it up until it is
ready to be used.
KILL FLIES NOW.
Thousands of lives are sacrificed
every year in Arkansas because of
the filth-carrying habits of the fly.
The fly carries filth on his feet and
hairy body from the neighbor's
backyard and deposits it on baby’s
lips and face in your own home or
leaves it on-the food to be used by
the adults and thus typhoid and
flux may be spread among our peo
ple. The only way to avoid this
danger is to wage a continuous
war upon the fly. Be sure to
screen against him very carefully
and if he gets into the house use
poison or fly paper.
To make homemade fly paper,
mix together equal parts by meas
ure of resin and castor oil. Stir
over hot water until mixed, then,
while still warm, spread it on any
good strong paper that is not too
porous—foolscap is good.
GIVE HOGS MINERAL MATTER.
Hogs make more pork money
when they thrive best. Vaccinate
your hogs and protect them against
cholera, keep them free from
worms and in tip-top condition.
Plenty of mineral matter will help
do this. Place charcoal, ordinary
lime, ashes, salt and sulphur in
separate boxes where the hogs can
get them. They are the best
judges and will eat what they want
and need. This method is now
recognized by all hog growers to be
the best. It will pay to give hogs,
old and young alike, all the mineral
matter they will eat. Fix the
boxes today and watch the result.
CLEAN UP AND SAVE YOUR LIVESTOCK.
Every year a large number of
animals are lost in Arkansas from
infectious diseases. One way to
help avoid such dealers as black
leg, navel ill of sucklings, distem
per and calf scours is to keep the
barn lots clean. It will pay to
clean up and disinfect the barn,
and lots and pens with good strong
whitewash to which has been add
ed 2 per cent crude carbolic acid
or 5 per cent coal tar dip. Apply
to walls and floors with a spray
pump. _
