The larva of the European corn •borer is a dirty white caterpillar. About an inch long, with a brown bead. It passes th£ winter in a nearly foil-grown condition within its food v plants. In the spring its growth is Completed and it then bores its way to the surface of the food plant, where it makes a slight hole to serve as an ' * exit for the resulting moth. The larva now forms a cocoon in the Harrow, passes into the pupal stage, tmd in about two weeks the adult moth 'emerges. The moth, which lives about two weeks, deposits 300 to 700 eggs on Che food plant. In about five days the eggs hatch, and the young larvae at first feed on the tender shoots of the plants, but finally bore their way into the. main stem of the plant. In about atx weeks, after burrowing through all parts of the plant, the larvae pupate as before and emerge as moths about V <he middle of summer.

LAMBS FATTENED FOR MARKETING 3 to 5 Months !s About Right Age Under Ordinary Conditions, Grasshoppers are beginning to pay big cash dividends in North Dakota through the medium of poultry, especially in turkeys and guinea fowls.

The ears of corn are bored through from bottom to top and from side to •ide, the borers feeding on the kernels while they are soft Complete de- Fattened /Turkey8 Being Market. Driven to Wherever there art green fields, there are grasshoppers and other insects. G. R. Greaves of the agricultural college, who has conducted the experiments, says: "It seems the inexorable law of nature that wherever there is something good to eat there is something to tat It, and man's existence is a continual struggle for supremacy over the creatures that are determined to consume the food he requires." During past years in North Dakota, prairie chickens, sage hens and grouse held the grasshoppers in check, and their plumpness and the delicious quality of their meat attested to the superiority of their food. Now the prairie chickens especially are going the way of the buffalo, and Mr. Greaves was assigned to find a substitute that would keep down the insect pests with a minimum of trouble and expense to the farmer. The answer is turkeys and guineas. Mr. Greaves declares that flocks of turkeys and guineas consume millions of grasshoppers and other insect pests, and naturally do their own foraging. Early in the season the experimental flocks at the agricultural college have grown fat and strong on the young insects. Later in the season they have received the abundant exercise necessary for their proper market conditioning by chasing the elusive hoppers, have saved the field corps and provided a new, big source of income. "Three old turkeys kept through one winter," said Mr. Greaves, "produced a flock of young turkeys the following season which kept the fields near their house clear of grasshoppers, and fulfilled their destiny by gracing Thanksgiving tables." MAKE HIGHER RATE OF GAM <Sr 1 During Heat of Summer They Art ., More Liable to Losses From Para. / •itee--Breeder Also Gets Use' of His Money Earl tor. Under ordinary farm conditions lambs should be made ready for market at from 8 to 5 months of age. When young they niake a higher rate of gain and will put on the same amount of flesh for less cost than when they are older. Then, too, they will make but small gains during the heat W summer, and at this time parasites are most troublesome and they lire thus more liable to losses from this cause. Risk of accidents is always higher when the lambs are held for a long time. More feed is saved for the breeding flock, and less labor is needed if the lapibs are sold early. Better prices ajre obtained in the spring because of not having to meet the competition of the western lambs that are marketed during the summer and fall, and in addition the grower gets the use of his money sooner by pushing the lambs to a marketable Condition as fast as possible. Teaching Lambs to Eat. Every effort should be made to keep the lambs growing from the start. The first essential is to teach them to eat. Liberal feeding of lambs dropped before pastures are ready is profitable under any ordinary grain prices. This is best done through the use of a small inclosure known as a "creep," to which the lambs have access at all times, but Into which the ewes can not come. The creep should contain a rack for hay and a trough for grain, so arranged that the lambs can not get their feet into them. All feed given, especially ground feed, should be clean, fresh, and free from mold. The lambs will begin to nibble at the feed when from 10 to 16 days of age. Pea-green alfalfa of the second or third cutting is one of the most relished feeds. Flaky, sweet brpn probably ranks next. For the first few days these are the ideal feeds.

V Several "fanners here have a .handy rack for handling almost everything on the farm. Especially are they meant for crops which are taken to the market or cellar in crates or boxes. The best and cheapest one I have seen is 14 feet long, 6 feet wide, With sideboards 14 inches high, writes H. E. Rogers of Ohio in Farm and Home. The floor Is solid of matched lumber one. Inch thick. The two stringers which run lengthwise are 4% tflr 6^4 inches and 14 feet long. •>: Around the outside there Is a piece 2 by 2 which is used for holding the sideboards in place when they are wanted. Along the sides there are four holes in the floor next to the strips, which take one-half inch iron bolts f&stened to .the bottom of the Convenient Wagon Rack. sideboards. .This makes everything hold solid and there is no danger of a load of produce slipping after it is Inside the' boards. The side and end boards are held together by a short rod bolted on the end boards with a ring in the end. Another bolt comes through the side board with a hook in the end of it. These two join and art easily turned up- tight. On this rack, with no sides on, wt hauled onions, and put on 78 bushel crates. This rack on a low wagon»Is hard to beat. There Is hardly a place where either a rack or a box Is used that this sort of rack will not do the business of both. When thrashing there is a rack with no holes to let your legs down through when you don't look where yon step. In hauling seeded grain, such as clover, a tight rack means^ a mighty big saving in the seeds that are bound to shell. ib. r$- jfk Good Harvest of Corn, With/Good Organic Matter Left, Which, if Plowed Under, Will Make Next Com ^ fvCrop a Better One,' •traction of the ear Is generally accomplished either by the borer or through tfecay which follows the injury.

QUARTERS FOR YOUNG STOCK preferable to Have Calves Separated From Main Part of Cow Barn Mothers Not Disturbed. r one dairymen fall to consider hon*> the young stock when they build barns.

The quarters for the calves Should be connected with the dairy 'fcurn, and a location on the soqftfc <«• side of the barn is desirabl# BEST PRACTICE IN PLOWING According to Minnesota Expert It Is Best to" Deepen Furrows Gradually Each Year. Tht nature of the soil and the crop to be grown should5 determine the question of whether to plow deeply or more shallow. As with most other farm problems, the farm operator's judgment and experience must be called Into play In determining which practice Is best on any farm. Andrew Boss, vice director of the Minnesota experiment station, believes that deep furrows turned on edge, or "three-quarters over," furnish the best conditions for pulverizing and sweetening the soil. "It is not good practice," he says, "to deepen the plowing greatly In any one year. It Is better to deepen It by one-half Inch or an inch each year until a sufficient depth has been reached. Rarely is it necessary to plow deeper than seven or eight Inches, ex* cept for certain deep-rooted crops lika sugar beets, carrots, potatoes and like crops. "Where It Is desirable to incorporate in the soil water-holding material, such as a green manure crop or a dressing of coarse barnyard manure, deep plowing Is wise. Either a very sandy or a very heavy dense clay would be benefited by such treatment periodically."

Animals Will Consume More Weeds and 8hrubs Than Other Animail^ but Need Some Feed. Many formers who have failed with sheep have gone into the business with the fallacious Idea that sheep will eat anything, simply because some misinformed person started the tale. Sheef will consume more weeds and shrubs than any other class of animals, but to turn them into the woodlot and expect them to thrive on sprouts and dry leaves Is asking too much of their digestive systems. However, there Is usually waste land on most farms on which the sheep may be kept at certain periods of the year very profitably. Three-Months Old Lamb, Fattened and Ready for Market • first Will make it more palatable Iainseed meal is also good when mixed with bran. Until the lambs are 5 to 6 weeks old all their feed should be course ground or crushed. Corn Ration for Lamba. The Ohio experiment station has found that for young lambs that are to be marketed a grain ration of corn Is of about the same value as one of corn 5 parts, oats 2 parts, bran 2 parts and ollj Oil meal Is especially relished by lambs at this time and would be especially valuable In promoting growth rather than fat. Such feeds as middlings are too floury for extensive use. Rye is less palatable than oats or barley. Soy beans may replace the linseed meal if they cost less. Cleanliness is an important factor In keeping the lambs growing. Always feed to an empty trough, and If it becomes soiled scrub it out with llmewater. SERIOUS NEW PEST OF WHEAT Eelworm Has Done Much Damage in Virginia and Other States--Ptaht Only Clean Seed. The eelworm is a serious new pest of wheat which has recently done much damage In Virginia, and to a lesser extent in West Virginia, Maryland and California. The disease may be recognized In the threshed grain by the presence of hard, dark-colored galls, about one-half the size of wheat kerne!, which are easily overlooked or mistaken for bunt, cockle seed or bin-burnt wheat. Plant only clean 'seed wheat from fields which have not been infested.

BASSETT, University F&nn, St. Paul, Minn.) The disk harrow is a tillage tool found on nearly every farm. Its useful life is about 20 years, as shown by carefully compiled statistics. Thus it is a long-lived tool. There Is very little about a disk to wear out. . It has few moving parts and, if given good carp, should cause little bother. Disks should be gone over carefully every season. During the winter months the boxes should be taken apart, carefully cleaned and, if badly worn, replaced. See to it that the oiling system works and that the bearings are getting oil. Keep the arbor bolt tight. Tfils holds the disk firmly in place. If the disk is used much it should be sharpened at least once each season. This greatly increases the penetration and decreases the draft, as It will do more work with less set. It will also do better work; and because It does not need so much angle or set, there Is less strain and wear on the boxes. While a dull disk will cut, it is like a dull ax, inefficient and expensive to work with. FEEDING SKIM MILK TO PIGS Resume of Many Teste Made for Purpose of Ascertaining Most Economical Method. \ A good many tests have been made for the purpose of ascertaining the most economical way of feeding skim milk to h^>gs. A resume of the work done along this line at the Indiana, New York, Iowa, Wisconsin and Ontario experiment stations shows that young pigs, that is, pigs weighing less than 100 pounds, may be fed as much as three pounds of skim milk per pound of grain, and by grain we mean any one of the cereals fed singly, or a number of them together. As pigs grow older the amount of skim milk should be reduced to about two pounds per pound of grain. The reason for this is that less protein is required as the pigs grow older and still less is required during the fattening period. ATTENTION TO YOUNG STOCK Farmer Can Well Afford to Give Animals Little Extra Care During Cold Weathar.

Japanese say 'Chinese man--him very sick; taust make well.'" There was -Inarticulate sarcasm in their manner. At last one of tliem found the English he was after, and came out with It: "Japanese no love Chinese man," he said. ."Then why make Chinese man well?" It seems that Japanese were beginning to realize that American philanthropy, represented by the missions and by the Rockefeller foundation, was creating good*will for the tJnlted States. So they, toot decided to become philanthropists, and some fine Japanese hospitals for the Chinese were the result. The Chinese, however, still distrust the move. They cannot be syre that It has the genuine unselfishness of Christian propaganda. They tell tales about machine guns concealed In She hospitals and soldiers who recon noiter by night.

She appeared in court with an old Dutch headgear that would have delighted the heart of the painter Van Dyk. On the sides of her coiffeur were two thin gold plates bound tightly to her head which kept her hair pressed close above her ears. The plates are slightly concave, of the finest old burni?hed gold and fitted the contour of her head. Over he gold plates was an old Frieseland lace bonnet, Ivory colored from age* a treasure of her maiden days. The little frilled lace visor in front of the bonnet was a marvel of the lace maker's art, and a 6-inch frill made of some stiffened material like mallnes net fanned out behind her neck and over her shoulders like a ruffle of Sir Walter Raleigh. In a quaint observance of the customs of the land of her adoption Mrs. Vos had surmounted her artistic headgear wfth a flagrantly black high-cocked bonnet.

C., and that nearly pure descendants of this anclqpt. .Neolithic breed--« urlal, Ovia vlegnel--still survive on the small uninhabited island of Soay (Sheep Island), near St. Kllda. Crosses between Soay and Southdown sheep yield excellent mutton, with wool of remarkable strength and quality; and the late discoveries Indicate that crosses of the urial with other wild types may yield rtlll finer and more beautiful wool. These discoveries Include that of wool forming the Inner coat of several of the wild sheep of Asia. This wool is longer than that of the Soay sheep, and decidedly finer than and quite as white as superfine Australian merino, regarded as tha finest and whitest wool in the world.
