weather comes on, they hibernate In the
state to which they have reached, and
complete the process of Matching In the
spring.
As soon as the warm weather of spring
comes they rapidly hatch out. They
begin at once to eat and to grow, and
they continue to grow and eat; indeed,
their whole business seems to be to eat
and grow and grow and eat. II food
runs short, they travel In any direction
that the impulse may move them. While
growing they repeatedly shed their
skins; and when full grown, having
moulted for the last time, they appear
full-fedgcd,. with perfect wings ready
for fight.
Soon after reaching the perfect state,
which is six weeks or two months after
Matching, they are seized with an i'm
pulse to fly, and on bright forenoon
they rise up in clouds and sail away
before the wind. They seem to give
themselves up entirely to the guiding
power of the wind, and always fly with
1t. Should they meet strong opposing
wind, they may descend to the earth and
wait for a day or two; but if the wind
changes its course gradually they do the
same. When rising the head is kept to
the wind, and the same when descend
ing, but at other times during flight
they go with the wind. Their flight is
strong and well sustained. They may
often be seen passing over so high that
they have the appearance of fine mist
passing beneath the sun. Their wings
being almost transparent they look
white while flying through the air, and
when flying thickly in the sunshine
they present the appearance of heavy
snow storm driving through the air.
Their numbers are Incredible. saw a
swarm last fall about twenty miles
wide, over one hundred feet deep. 1t
was estimated at one to the cubic foot,
flying at the rate of twenty miles per
hour, six hours each day, for seven days
in succession. Strange to say, compar-
atively little damage was done in Kansas
by two or three weeks visit of this
swarm, owing to the lateness of the
season. Lancy in Country Gentleman.

FIRM BUTTER WITHOUT IcE.-From
w. p. Hazards treatise on butter-mak-
ing, we extract the following: In
families or where the dairy is small, a
good plan to have butter cool and firm
without Ice, Is by the process of evapor-
alton, as practiced in India and other
warm countries. A cheap plan is to get
very large sized porous earthen flower
pot with an extra large saucer. Half
fill the saucer with water, set il in a
triyet or light stand-such as is used for
holding hot irons will do,-upon this
set your butter; over tho whole invert
the flower pot, letting the top rim of il
rest In and be covered by the water
then close the hole In the bottom of the
fower-pot with cork then dash water
over the fiower-pot, and repeat the pro-
cess several times day, or whenever
1t looks dry. If set in a cool place, OF
where the wind can blow on 1t, 1t will
rapidly evaporate the water from the
pot, and the butter will be as firm and
cool as If from an ice-house. Rural

A Prize English Farm,

For several years past the Royal
Agricultural Society of England has
offered substantial prizes for the best
managed farms i'm the counties which
form the district in which the show is
held. This season the competitors were
divided into eight classes, viz: Isl,
arabic farms above one hundred and
fifty acres in extent; I'd, arabic farms
above eighty and under one hundred
and fifty acres; Sd, farms above forty
and under eighty acres; 4th, dairy or
meat producing farms above two humid
red acres; 9Th, ditto, not less than one
hundred but under two hundred acres
9th, farms of not less than fifty but
under one hundred acres; classes and
8, for farms in the Isle of Man.
1t happens again this year, as has
been the case on one or two previous
occasions, that woman's management
whistle prize in class first going to
Mrs. Ellen Birch, for farm of two
hundred and forty-two acres, all arabic
land, at Aintree, near Liverpool The
farm like the surrounding region is
nearly level; is divided into fields OF
about thirty acres each, by neatly kept
hedges, and is light and easily work
ed soil, naturally dry. No stock of con-
sequence is kept, as town manure is
cheaply brought ON to the land by canal
from Liverpool, for which market the
products of the land are intended. The
rent paid is f5, say about 1926, per acre.
The course of cropping is as follows:-
LIST, potatoes, after lea; I'd, wheat; Sd,
barley or oats, sown with grass seeds
4th, hay; 9th, hay; after which the lea
Is again broken out and planted with
potatoes. The potato crop now OH the
ground is spoken of as "simply splen-
did" And it is on the potatoes that all
the town and home made manure is ap-
piled, sometimes with the addition of a
little nitrate Of soda. The grain crops,
especially the oats, were very heavy.
Fifteen men and lads are employed, at
sixteen and seventeen shillings a week
and cottage rent. Heavy crops of hay
are grown, and after this is over for the
season sheep are taken in to grass from
local statesmen, at sixpence per week.
The farm has been in the continuous
occupation of the same family for thirty
five years, being conducted now by the
widow of the tenant, assisted by her
two sons.-[Country Gentleman.

Feeding Mowing.Land.

The pastures on many farms are so
poor, SO rocky, or so full of bushes and
weeds, that the feed gives out early in
the summer, and the farmer must
either stall-feed the cows, have them
dry up, or open the mowing-land to
them. 1t is great mistake to select
the poorest land for pasturing, or to
allow it to becomk sward-bound by
neglecting to top seed it or cultivate It
once III few years; or to overstock
the pasture. But it Is more expensive
mistake to change the cattle from the
pasture to the mowing-land before the
second crop is harvested. If the farmer
does not care for the second crop it
is worth more to lie on the ground
through the winter than it is for pas
tnre. Then the injury that the cattle
do to the soft land by treading over it,
the fact that the grass roots fed down
80 close will be exposed to frost which
will very likely kill them,-assures a
loss from the mowing-field greater than
the value received In feeding.
II the pastures are short ofgrass there
Is but one proper remedy-stall-feed
the stock. 1t Is not necessary to draw
upon the hay-mow to do this.
Every farmer ought to plant a large
piece of corn for fodder. Sow a piece
Of ground with oats, to be cut early
for the same purpose, and use them to
help out the poor pasture rather than
70 feed your cattle in the moving field.
But If the farmer has not provided for
such fodder, then top the corn and feed
that out; gather the deformed pump.
kins, or those lying too thick together
use some of the early clover, or cui
what rowen you can. And rather
than feed the mowing-field, use some
grain or hay, or buy few hundred
pounds of shorts. The stock must moi
suffer for food, and the farmer cannot
afford the injury to his mowing-land
that feeding will do-[Golden Rule.

The Rocky Mountain Locust.

The settlement of the great West has
brought man face to face with some in
sect enemies that have already develop
ed wonderful power for mischief.
The "Ten-lined spearman" (Dorvpho-
"a decena-lineata) has already intro.
duced itself TO the people of most Sec
tons of the country, and given them q
taste of Its powers of destruction. But
as destroyer of crops, the Colorado
potato beetle is scarcely worth mention
in comparison with the "hateful grass.
hopper" What the potato beetle will
do to potato crop, when at the worst,
in two weeks, the chopper" will do to
all the growing crops in half day.
The frequent and severe ravages Of
these pests on the crops of the settlers
of the newer portions of the West have
attracted extensive attention to these
devOuring swarms. So general has this
interest become, and to such importance
has the subject grown, that the national
government appointed commission to
inquire into the native habitat, the
natural history and the means to be
used in the extirpation of this insect.
The western locust is almost an exact
likeness of the red-legged locust { Cdlop-
tenas temu,7'ubrum) Of the Atlantic
states, except that our western species
has wings that extend about quarter
of an inch beyond the extremity of the
body, while the wings of the eastern
species are but little longer than the
body. The body of the C.. spretus is
from three-fourths to one andlone-eight
inches in length, and of rather slender
make.
This insect is found almost every year
in great numbers In the Rocky Noun
tain region, In the canons and sandy
plains among and beyond them. But
whether these are their natural habitats,
or whether they are only interlopers In
those regions, Is q question that Is TO be
determined by the commission. The
states east of the mountains are gener-
ally invaded from the northwest, which
has led to the belief that their native
breeding grounds are somewhere in the
regions Of the British possessions. Last
year they seem to have appeared first In
Dakota, and thence moved south
through Minnesota, Nebraska, Western
Iowa, Kansas, Indian Territory and
Texas, the survivors finally disappear.
ing in the Gulf of Mexico.
Almost from their first entrance into
the country, they began depositing their
eggs, and almost everywhere that they
terried two or three days, they left q
suPpy . cgea for u. f.turs brood. The
eggs are laid In small holes dug In mod
erately hard soil these holes are made
about the size of common lead pencil,
and nearly Fan inch deep. From very
few up 10 fifty or seventy-five eggs are
deposited in each of these holes, and in
some cases the holes will average one
to the square inch of surface. The eggs
are about one-twentieth Of an inch long,
and about one-third as thick. All those
deposited in q hole are glued or gummed
together, so that they adhere with con-
siderable tenacity. II the fall is very
warm they sometimes hatch out in the
fall, and, of course, perish; but If they
have not entirely Matched out when cold
