Show INJURIOUS LITTLE WEEVIL HARD TO EXTERMINATE In May Beware o! Dyspepsia. These Pests, Which Hibernate in Woodlands, Under Leaves and Rubbish of AH Kinds, Appear Very Early and Attack First Buds of Plants. (By J. TIIOS. MACKKNZIK.) These pests have been Increasingly abundant In some parts of tha country during the past few years and every effort possible should be made to control and destroy them. These beetles hibernate in rubbish under leaves and any shelter they can find, and become active early in March and April. The egss are laid aa soon as the beetles can find buds In suitable condition and the earliest of these are on the cultivated strawberry. The females continue feeding and laying eggs until after the middle of June, attacking in succession after the strawberry, dewberry, wild strawberry and blackberry. Development from egg to adult requires about one month. These feed but little and disappear Into hibernating quarters shortly afterward. The actual damage done by these insects is not really measured by the percentage of buds destroyed, because these are the earliest, that would ordinarily have been the finest berries and brought the highest price. The injury cause Is due to the feeding habit of the larva which requires IfiliSl mi Pod FYSDFDSl ilfrTARRH0FSTOHA DIDN'T CARE TO BE DONE. for Its development. The beetle, therefore, lays Its rather large, white, glistening egg Into a well developed bud of a stamlnate variety and, In order to prevent further development, punctures the flower stalk Just below It. Ina day or two the bud wilts, the stalk breaks at the point of puncture, and usually the bud drops to the ground, although It may bang on for some days by a few threads of tissue. This dropping to the ground favors the development of the larva which, exposed to the hot sun, might otherwise dry up, or the bud itself might become too hard and unfit for food. There is no period in the life of this Insect when It can be satisfactorily reached by Insecticides. The adult feeds, little, usually on pollen or by eating boles Into the well developed blossom buds. Whether the Insect devours the tissue when It cuts through the flower stalks Is not known. The larva feeds In shelter continuously and Is entirely beyond our reach. As the larva feeds only on pollen, pistillate plants which bear none are free from attack and the obvious recommendation Is to plant pistillate varieties with every third or fourth row of some profusely flowering stamlnate variety to serve as pollenizers and to attract the insects. This method has been actually adopted in some of the southern Etntes with good effect. The objection is made that there Is no known pistillate variety which does well in many of the northern states and fulfills the requirements aa to time of ripening, shipping quality, etc That there is no fruit so erratic in its action in different localities as the strawberry Is well known, and there la no one variety which any grower Is willing to recommend for all localities. The method of a few growers Is to plant very profusely flowering varieties of plants with the Idea of getting enough buds to feed the beetles and to make a crop as well. But a much better plan would be to plant some very early profusely flowering varioty on rows along the edges to serve as an attraction for the beetles and keep tbem from the main crop. This would mean, of course, planting pollen female How til IIo does everything la his power Powell Then I'm glad that I'm noj In hla power. SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN "When my boy was about three months old hla head broke out with a rash which waa very. Itchy and ran a watery fluid. We tried everything we could but he got worse all the time, till it spread to hla anna, logs and then to his entire body. lie got so bad thnt he came near dying. The rash would itch bo that he would scratch till the blood ran, and a thin yellowish stuff would bo all over bis pillow in the morning. I had to put mittens on his handa to prevent him tearing his skin. He was so weak and run down that bo took fainting spells aa Jf he were dying. lie was almost a skeleton and hla little bands were thin like claws. "lie was bad about eight months when wo tried Cullcura Remedies. I bad not laid blm down In bis cradle in the daytime for a long while. I washed him with Cutlcura Soap and put on one application of Cutlcura Ointment and he was so soothed that he could sleep. You den t know how glnd I was be felt better. It took one-boof Cutlcura Ointment and pretty near one cake of Cutlcura Soap to cure him. I think our boy would have died but for the Cutlcura Remedies and I shall always remain a firm friend of them. There has been no return of the trouble. I shall be glad o have you publish this true statement of his cure." (Signed) Mrs. M. C Maitland, Jasper, Ontario, aiay 27.

Orcutt had been away from town all summer, and be would bo certain to ask all about Harry, when Harry Trevor was tbe last man she cared to discuss; especially with Orcutt. When he had gone away In the spring she had been engaged to Trevor. Orcutt had been absent four months and much may happen in that time, given two highly- - strung young people each with an excuse of false pride. Tbe little trips to Hlllcrcst had become things of the past and all because of a misunderstanding so absurd that had either used a little tact the engagement would never have been broken. She was going further up the road, and as HUlcrest was neared she drew back into her seat and away from the window. She did not even want to see the familiar station. Mrs. Trevor waa an ideal hostess and Madge had spent many pleasant hours In ths old Trevor homestead when she and Harry bad planned what would come to pass when she was the chatelaine of tbe fine old place. This was the train she had always taken too, when she had coma out to spend a few days with old Mrs. Trevor, and she did not want to be urther reminded of those happy times. But she had reckoned without Orcutt He came bustling through the train just before tbe station was reached. The platform at Hillcrest was short and only the middle of tbs train came on the platform proper. He was walking through tha train to strike tbe center of the platform when the train should atop. This time Madge could not escape discovery, and Orcutt came to a dead stop, dropping his bundles as hs grasped her band. "It seems like old times to see you again." he cried, "and that Infernal porter has never come for your things! Here, let me help you." He gathered up his own bundles and hers and hurried down the aisle. They were already In tbe tunnel which rsn under the greater of the town. In a few momentapartthey would be at the station. Madge followed to regain of her suit esse, but in tbs possession brief Interval others bad crowded to tbe door of the vestibule and It was Impossible to worm her wsy through and claim ber own.
