Cannot identify, satisfactorily, the insect
from the specimen sent. The indications point
to the boil worm which is sometimes quite de-
structive to a cotton crop. 1t is found in Geor-
gia, Alabama, Mississippi, and we know not
how much farther west. 1t is the caterpillar
of q moth and is identical with that which eats
the corn when in roasting ear stage. No
special preventive is known. The moth flies
at night and might be entrapped by placing
lights over vessels filed with liquid. More or
less depreciation is committed by these worms
every year, but decided injury occurs only at
considerable intervals of time.

are they cured?
1t is doubtful if raisins can be grown success
fully i'll your locality--for two reasons. First,
the grapes from which raisins are made are
foreign varieties which will not thrive east OF
the Rocky mountains. Second, because the
raisin grape is dried in the sun and requires a
rainless climate like that of California.

T. A. w, Munneolyn, Burke county, Ca. What is
the best time to cut peas for hay? l mean at what
stage of the peas growth maturity is the best time
to cut them so the vines will hold the leaves which
l think is the most valuable part of the vines.
Some Of my acquaintance say cut when the vines
are in bloom, before there much or any peas on
the vines others say don't cut until the vines are
filed with peas and before the peas rpen they say
cut; and still others say wait until the peas turn
yellow and then cut before they rpen. You will do
me the favor of informing m at what stage to cut
the vines to make the best La for COWS and horses
also the mode and manner OF curing and housing
the hay after cutting.
The best time for cutting peavines has not
been definitely settled. 1t is proposed to test
the matter fully at our experiment station at
an early day. AS soen as the pea begins to
bear pods it will begin to shed its leaves under
untoward circumstances; the older it gets
after this the greater this tendency. The indi-
cations are, therefore, that to preserve the
largest quantity of leaves the vines should be
cut soon after they begin bearing. As few
blooms generally make their appearance in
advance of the main crop of blooms, a few pods
are developed in advance of the general crop
of pods The opinion Of our best farmers is
that the vines should be cut when this first
crop Of pods is about grown, but not dried.
The vines must be cured in the shade. They
should never be damp when cut. AS soon as
they wilt they should be gathered up, and
either hung or scattered about under shelter.

Tho Worlds Famous Trees.

Gen. Brisbin has a chapter on famous
trees of the world which is full of curl
GUS information. The African baobab is
known to reach the age of over 5000
years. At Chapultepec, Mexico, is large
cypress under which Cortez and his troops
rested. In the garden Of Semiramis, at
Babylon, is willow supposed to have
been there when the queen was alive.
The Eeustadt linden was 800 years old
when it was wrecked in 1889. England
has oaks 5000 years old. A walnut tree
at Balaklava, 1900 years old, is owned
by five families who gather from it an
nually about 100000 nuts. The Wads-
worth oak, at Genesee, N. Y, is 500
years old and twenty-seven feet in cir
conference at the base.-Cincinnati Com

We two have wrought together
Helping each other

Each has made the other stronger,
Made this life worth living longer,
Which else were naught
What shall give herr

Subtle instinct Of affection
Should make easy the selection.
What shall it be!

Our beings have q single sum,
Our thoughts in the same channels flow
This happiness to us has come
No more we seek or care to know.
Wound through the fiber Of each heart,
Like wire of gold through potter's clay
This knowledge is the richest part,
Loves handiwork-love's cloisonne,
What shall I give my lover

Early Settlers Curious Tales.

Some of the early settlers of New Eng

strange land to their friends, whom they
evidently enjoyed hoaxing. "Here-

of the ''lions that prowl about Cape
Ann" A third, in 1868, says that the
frogs of Massachusetts, ''sit up on their

present frogs Of that state are degenerate,
but the babies of Massachusetts, are now

Canada's Northwestern Provinces.

For many years the Canadian Pacific
railway has been trying to lure colonists
into the northwestern provinces of Cana
da, but with little success. A large per-
centage of those who have gone out to
these provinces have come over to the
United States. Englishmen who have
been deluded into settling in the north
west territory frequently write indignant
letters to the English papers. "When,"
says one of these colonists. "they advise
people to go up to the northwest, Mani
toba or Hudson Bay district, they are
simply sending people to their doom I'M

Shrewdness of q Ecart!er.

A gentleman came to ME some months
ago and, showing good references, said
that he had just come to the city, was
in reduced circumstances, but had good
situation with large concern here and
wanted few weeks credit. This was
readily granted, and he has ever since
boarded with me, but notwithstanding
he has borne himself in every way as a
gentleman, he has never yet quite paid
me up. When his pay day comes he
always pays me portion of his indebted
ness, but though he has money over for
which he has no apparent use, he insists
on leaving a balance due until next time.
I asked him the other day what he meant
by this and why he did not square up.
His answer was that he KEEP behind in
his payments Oh principle-that he did it
to insure proper courtesy and considera-
ton in the hotels treatment OF him. He
said the little debt he owed me was a
constant lever which commanded ;oOd

JEWISH FUNERAL CUSTOMS.
Many Of Their Most Ancient Rites Sti
ObserYed-PecuIiar Ceremonies

Many Of Their Most Ancient Rites Still
Observed-Peculiar Ceremonies.
In their funeral rites and observances
the Jews have preserved many of the
most ancient customs of their race. They
still rend the upper garments in token of
bereavement, as Jacob did when in
formed of the death Of his favorite son;
they still seat themselves for seven days
on the ground in sign of mourning, as
Job and his friends are represented in the
Scripture to have done. They still eat
the mourners' meal, as their ancestors
did in Palestine; they kindIe the memo
rial light to comfort the departed soul,
as they did, in all likelihood, ages before
judaism was known; and they still re-
cite in public the mourners' prayer, every
repetition of Notwithstanding to rab-
binical notions-helps the deceased a
step further out of purgatory. In the
west as in the east these customs are
practically the same-we mean among
the great bulk of observant Jews. The
very wealthy and the more highly cul-
tured members of the synagogue are in
these things, as in many others, law
unto themselves.
The Jews rigidly exclude all relatives
from the chamber of dying co-relgion-
ist. Only strangers should be present
when the soul leaves the body. As soon
as death occurs all the vessels in the
house containing water are emptied.
On the continent, in places where Jews
reside, the emptying Of the water vessels
in the public roadway is the usual mode
of notifying that death has occurred.
The practice had its origin, we gather
from the rabbinical books, in an Old
World superstition that standing water
in such circumstances became the abid-
Jag place of certain evil spirits whose
presence in the house was preiudicial
10th to the dead and to the living. In
The interval between death and inter-
1nent the Jews lay the corpse upon the
are ground with the feet toward the
door. The body is covered, but nothing
saving occasionally little straw-may

(. Two or three hours. before the inter-
