FALSE CABBAGE APHIS

Found in Injurious Numbers in Fail of the Year. Possibility of Ito Importance as Greenhouse Pest Sooner or Later Is Evident Insect Injures by Sucking Plant Juices. (By J. J. DAVIS.) The false cabbagf; aphis,, which closely resembles the cabbage aphis, is to be found in injurious numbers more often in the fall of the year and in large colonies on the undersides of the leaves of such crops as turnips and radishes. In addition, it occurs iu greater or less abundance on cabbage, kale, mustard and rape, as well as on such wild plants as black mustard and shepherd's purse. While it seems to be primarily a pest of garden and field crops, the fact that it occurs on ten-week stock and radishes in greenhouses makes the possibility of its importance as a greenhouse pest sooner or later evident. This insect injures by sucking the plant juices, usually weakening the plant and causing the leaves to be dwarfed or deformed. It Is more prolific than any other species of plant louse that has been sufficiently studied for comparison, giving rise to an average of 17 or 18 generations annually, each mature aphid giving birth to an average of 00 young. The natural enemies of this aphid include the well-known lady-bird beetles, the larvae of certain syrphid flies, and various internal parasites. Climatic conditions have little effect upon the aphlds. The usual inFalse Cabbage Aphis.' secMcides applicable to plant lice may be used against this species. Any application to be efficient, however, must come in contact with the aphids, and since the false cabbage aphis ordinarily feeds on the under surface of the leaves, It is necessary to spray from beneath. When practicable, a rotation of crops is desirable, and care should be taken to keep down the weeds. Fall plowing of the old turnip field should be adopted. PREPARING SOIL FOR WHEAT Plant Requires Abundance of Food for Satisfactory Growing Good Seed Essential. Wheat Is a plant that responds very readily to good preparation of the soil. The plants require an abundance of available plant food for satisfactory growth. For this reason many thin lands would give better results with fertilizers. Phosphoric acid has generally been found to give good results on worn soils. This is the constituent that stimulates the production of grain. But the use of fertilizer always requires good preparation of the seedbed. Wheat needs a very fine soil, the finer the better, usually. To get it in the best condition it should be broken or disked early and given time to settle and crumble. Good seeds are essential for strong plants and a good stand. Nothing but heavy, clean seed should be sown. EXCELLENT TONIC FOR STOCK Money Saved by Buying Ingredients and Mixing on Farm Cost About 25 Cents Per Pound. If the cattle are not thrifty and need toning up, buy the ingredients and mix your own medicine ; tills will save money und you will get a better tonic. The following is a most excellent tonic for all classes of stock in run-down condition from whatever cause : Wheat bran, 25 pounds; flaxseed meal, 11 pounds ; table salt, 5 pounds ; powdered charcoal, 5 pounds ; red pepper, 1 pound: rosin, 2 pounds; potassium nitrate, 2 pounds; powdered sulphur, 2 pounds; powdered gentian, 2 pounds ; ground ginger, 2 pounds, and fenugreek, 2 pounds. . Mix well and give one tablespoonful mixed in the feed once daily, for ten days; omit for three days and feed as above fur ten days more. This will cost about 23 cents per pound. CLOVER AND ALFALFA HINTS Crops Kill Weeds and Plant Diseases, Produce Most Valuable Hay and Seed Crops. Clover and alfalfa kill weeds and plant diseases. Clover and alfalfa produce a most raluable hay. Clover and alfalfa produce very valuable seed crops.

KILLING WILD ONION PLANTS

Secret of Vitality Lies in Bulb Which germinates in Fall Destroy Pest by Plowing. The secret of the vitality of the wildonion lies in the two sorts of underground bulbs. Each plant produces one large bulb which germinates in the fall and four or five small ones which start growth in the spring. Late fall plowing, followed by early spring .plowing and planting the infested land to some clean cultivated crop destroys the wild onion pest by killing both sorts of bulbs as the growth from them appears and before they have had a chance to multiply. The fall plowing should be deep and care should be taken to completely bury all green tops of the onion. If very much top growth has been made, a harrow run before the plow will facilitate the thorough covering of the tops. Another interesting ad valuable point about the wild onion is that the spring bulbs rarely produce heads; consequently, if the infested land Is plowed in the fall, a spring oat crop practically free of onions can always be secured. But for complete eradication of the onion, both fall and spring plowing is necessary. SENSIBLE RATION FOR HORSE System Used by Lumberman Keeps Animals In Hardy, Healthy and Vigorous Condition. A gentleman engaged extensively in trie lumber business in the North has a large number of horses which he feeds by a system which makes and keeps them healthy, hardy and vigorous. In feeding them he cuts the hay and grinds the oats; the hay being well soaked with water 14 hours before it is fed: A little bran is added to the ground oats and this mixed meal is then mixed with the hay. The feed Is given morning and night, oats alone being fed at noon. The ration per head a day is ten pounds of the hay, ten pounds ground oats and one pound of bran, with eight pounds of dry oats fed at noon. During seven years of such, feeding the lumberman lias not lost a single horse, while previous to that he often lost one from some digestive disorder. Horses on the farm would not require such heavy feeding, but the combination of food and manner of feeding could be followed by farmers with profit. MAKE A SATISFACTORY DOOR Idea Shown in Illustration Will Be Found Useful for Other Purposes Boards Aro Tight. To make batten doors so that all the boards can be brought up tight together, is not always easy. Ordinarily such doors have cracks in them, as it is hardly possible to nail the pieces close. The following plan, though simple, makes possible a satisr Plan of Batten Door. factory door: Two wooden clamps are made and the hoards placed inside of the clamps. Wedges are then driven in on the sides of the doors in each clamp (as shown at A A). When the cracks are all closed the battens are nailed in place and the door released. This idea will be found useful for other purposes as well as for making doors. PROPER RIPENING OF CREAM Quality of Butter Depends on Changes Made From Time of Separation Until Added to Churn. By the ripening of creamis meant the changes it undergoes from the time of separation until it is added to the churn. Upon these changes depends very largely the quality of butter as regards texture and flavor. The temperature at which cream is held determines the firmness or texture, while the flavor is dependent upon the by-products from the bacterial growth. The purpose of ripening cream is fundamentally that of giving the butter the desired flavor and aroma, but in addition At increases the ease and efficiency of churning. Cream is ripened in one of two ways: First, it sours or ripens as a result of the action of bacteria which are normally present in milk and cream ; or, Second, it ripens as a result of action of certain kinds of bacteria which are added in what is termed a "start er, HEALTH OF CHICKEN FLOCK Much Depends on How Fowls Are Housed Ventilation Is Most Difficult Problem. The health of the chickens depends largely on how they are housed. The problem is to secure plenty of ventilation with sufficient warmth in winter to encourage laying. Houses are often built nowadays with the warm side entirely open for a greater part of the year, which makes the birds hardy and Immuno to colds and roup.

IN SIMPLE STYLE

COIFFURES ARE PLAIN, THOUGH OF REAL ELEGANCE. Bandeau of Cut Jet Is a Particularly Handsome Ornament for One Form Pretty Arrangement of Girl's Hair. It is now the fashion to dress the hair, in the evening, very simply and very close to the head at the sides. Artificial waves are not considered at all correct, nevertheless the hair is waved slightly, and very skillfully. The idea is that these large loose waves should be a perfect imitation of nature's best work, writes Idalia de Villiers, Paris correspondent of the Boston Globe. A coiffure with a cut jet bandeau was copied from a portrait, belonging to the directoire period. At the sides the hair clings to the head, but at the back it is raised high over an invisible frame. Then the handsome bandeau of cut jet is passed right round the head and pressed well down on the forehead in front. To add to the early Josephine effect there is a little string of cut Jet passed under the chin. I have seen a similar headdress made of seed pearls, transparently set, with real diamond barettes at the sides and a string of valuable pearls to form the chin strap. It was a very beautiful ornament. My sketch shows a pretty coiffure for a young girl. Here the hair is made to look as though it had been cut short and curled. This effect was obtained by a clever manipulation of the long hair at the back and sides, the twisted in ends being held in place by curved hairpins. The side parting is more fashionable than ever, and some of our Parisian beauties are having their hair dressed in the picturesque style which was associated with the beautiful actress, Mrs. Brown Potter, 25 years ago, that is to say, the side parting, with the hair perfectly smooth allowed to fall in a careless "flop" on the foreNew Coiffure for Young Girl. head and then softly drawn back and tied at the back with wide black ribbon. One of our favorite French actresses is trying to make the "Polalre headdross" popular again, but this style is too remarkable for the taste of refined women. At the same time the effect of short curled hair is, as I have just said, in favor. In Paris they are making lovely bands for the hair of seed pearls Intermingled with a scroll work of silver filigree. I have also seen plaques of silver filigree fastened to bands of turquoise blue velvet, to form a hair ornament. The style of headdress which we have decided to call "the headache banc!" is again creeping into favor. These bands are really very pretty when correctly arranged and when they are not too large. But it is not every woman, or girl, who knows how to arrange a band of this genre effectively. It is not enough to pass a length of ribbon round the head and tie it just any where. MAKES HANDY WRITING PAD Useful Little Gift, Suitable for Man or Woman, Can Easily Be Made by Amateur. Here is a handy suggestion for a birthday gift which should be highly appreciated, for the gift will do for either a man or a woman. A portable writing pad will prove quite useful to the person who has no writing desk in her room, and will be more than valuable to the transient person. The beauty about this particular writing pad is that it can be easily made by the amateur. First of all cut a 15-inch circle from stiff cardboard. Cut the circle in half, laying the halves about an inch apart, the straight or diameter edges facing each other. Now cover each half with two circular pieces of cretonne or denim. You see, the space between the cut edges will make it possible to fold the pad. The cretonne or denim can be pasted to the pasteboard semicircles or their edges can be whipped together. It will be necessary to stitch the material along the straight edges of the half circles so that the pasteboard will not slip. On the inside of each semicircle stitch material to form pockets for envelopes, writing paper,

stamps and an address book. Little pieces of tape could also be supplied to hold a pen and a pencil.

HAVE YOUR SCISSORS HANDY Good Sense in Providing a Case for Household Articles So Constantly in Demand. It Is often most annoying to have to hunt about for a pair of scissors, especially when time presses, and this would not happen if a case were provided for one pair at least, and hung in the general living room. The case is easily made. A piece of thin cardboard will be needed for the back. Take the scissors 'that are to be in general use and lay them on the Scissors Case. cardboard; mark out a shape slightly larger than the scissors with a pencil. Cut this out, then cut three pieces of silk or sateen ; line the cardboard with two of them, the third piece will need a little cutting off in the front at the top, as shown; neatly buttonhole the edges. Sew the pocket to the back shape neatly; if liked, a thin cord the same shade as the silk can be put round. Q On the pocket two- or three little flowers can be embroidered or painted. A bow of ribbon is put on the back so that the case will hang up. This case will prove most useful, for not only can the scissors always be found, but it protects the steel, which is so easily affected by any change in the atmosphere and often becomes rusty if left without cover. TRIMMINGS. Trimming, always of paramount ini portance, is very interesting this nu tu m n and Is as varied as the winds, Here are some of its striking phases: Worth uses ostrich for trimming evening gowns and, of course, many American dressmakers have followed suit. Brocade is much used for trimming afternoon and evening frocks. Embroidery In Chinese and Japanese style is much employed, especially for blouses an(l evening wraps. Heal lace is used again for trimming and will probably grow in favor. AVe may see a return of Irish lace to the place it held half a dozen years n go. Wool embroidery is much used on frocks of serge, and silk and bead embroideries are also used. A good deal of fur is used for trimming. It takes the form of hems and wide bands on the skirt and of buttons and cuffs on the bodice. "MOUTH POCKETS" &:, si if ku ?M& im- im 2 : v One of the latest styles in evening wraps, which will be worn extensively by the smart set this winter. It is trimmed with moleskin and lined throughout with rose taffeta. An innovation in evening wrap only seen in thGse of the latest design is the pockets formed like a mouth, and known as "mouth pockets." They are really combination pocket and sleeve as the hand slips through the open. Showerproof Sweaters. Wool sweaters which have been put through the rainproof process are being offered for sports wear. These are made perfectly plain with all around belts and high rolling collars.

TOLD HER STORY IN FULL Impossible to Stop Colored Woman Once She Had Begun to Relate Tale of Trouble. Adequate -proof of the traditional volubility of women was given in a justice of the peace court the other day. A colored woman was on trial on a charge of provoking assault. After listening impatiently to the testimony of another witness, she took the stand and, turning to Justice Klefer. drawled : "Now, looky here, judge, let me tell you all the way this here thing happened." Then began an actual flow of speech. Nothing could stop her. Justice Kiefer pounded and the deputies shouted, but to "no avail. On and on she talked about everything pausing only to emphasize her remarks in a more forcible mann.er. At the end of 15 minutes she ceased. Her breath was exhausted.
