Preserving Her Equilibrium.

The Farm and Fireside says: Nature
seems always endeavoring to maintain
a balance. When destructive insect
pests increase greatly in number, par
asites which prey on them also in
crease, and finally reduce their number
to normal point. 1t is estimated that
parasites now destroy over ninety per
cent Of the Hessian flies before they
get a chance to damage the wheat crop.
1t is hard to say what the farmer and
fruit grower would do if it were not
for the benifcent work done by the
parasites of insect foes in keeping the "a
in check. An important discovery in
this line of economic entomology has
recently been made. For several years
the clover seed crop in New York and
other states has been greatly damaged
by the ravages of the little orange
colored nudge. Sometimes the seed
crop would be total failure, owing to
it's ravages. o. late years the trouble
has grown less, and the cause of this IS
now known. While studying the
nudge Prof. Lintner discovered that it
was being attacked and destroyed by
microscopic parasite. This natural
enemy Of the clover nudge the pro-
lessor Identifies as one OF the chalcid
flies, which are SO useful in keeping
down destructive insects.

Preserving Eggs for Winter.

Although many and various methods
are recommended for preserving eggs,
yet very few manage to keep them in
large numbers. Limited supplies are
stored away for family use, but the bus
mess Of preserving them for market
has not become general. There are
many obstacles to success, which are
not always considered. First, only
fresh eggs are suitable, yet it is diff cult
TO secure then unmixed with older
ones. A single stale egg may cause the
loss OF all IN the same package. Second
ly, eggs from hens which run by them
selves will keep much longer than those
from hens which are kept in company
with males. A tertilized egg will keep
only one-third as long as one that is
sterile. This should be kept in view,
and the males separated from the hens
at least ten days before beginning to
save eggs Tor preserving. An egg which
is unfertilized when placed in an in
cubatOr and kept at temperature Of
103 will remain unchanged and fit for
the table at the end of two weeks,
while fertilized egg, under similar
condition, would be either two-thirds
incubated or rotten. The difference in
keeping qualities of the two kinds Of
eggs is equally great in cool room,
tnOugn not so rapidly manifested.
third important point is to turn
the eggs half over at least twice a week,
to keep yolk from adhering to shell.
If kept in room where the air is cool,
pure and dry, no salt, lime or chemical
is needed. The eggs may be placed up
on racks, to which access is had for
turning. But the difficulty with most
cellars and even ice-cooled rooms is
that eggs kept in them through hot
weather are liable to acquire musty
flavor. If packed in boxes with grain
the boxes may be turned every lew
days as indicated above.

Lawns and Lawn-Mowers.

A large proportion of the lawns in
city, village and country are deteriorat-
ing, and close examination shows the
turf to be thin, the desirable grasses
weak, browning quickly under drought
and hot sun, while coarse, unsightly
plants creep in and retain a foothold.
The beauty of the lawn diminishes
with age in spite Of liberal fertiliziDg
and close and regular cutting. What is
the reason? Mainly, it is the exces-
sive use Of the modern lawn-mower.
In nearly every locality may be found
pasture lands long set with grasses fine
and rich, holding color we'll under mid
summer sun and drought, with a thick,
elastic turf, through which no color of
soil can be seen-the very perfection Of
lawn If 1t were trimmed close and
even. Why does the pasture flourish
through score of years and the lawn
decay? Simply because the pasture is
kept nearly under natural conditions,
and the lawn is subjected to an intense
Chinese dWarting system. Suppose the
lawn is newly made, according to the
best instructions, the soil deeply dug,
enriched and made clean and fine,
the seed sown and the grass plants
show thick and strong. What next?
The lawn mower-twice or three times
WOth, uutIl grow Ill oGOpS, III duIttu1us
Next spring the grass makes a renewed
struggle for existence, starts early and
strong again. 1t Ii is it's blades to the
sun and air, that it may push it's roots
into the rich soil, for moisture and sus-
tenance. Tie effort is promptly met
by the lawn mower. Growth is check
ed above and under ground; so through
an entire season and succeeding years.
The law is that the root growth OF the
plant is in proportion to the top growth;
the root growth is shallow. Of what
avail is the deep, rich soil? Is it
wonder that the lawn browns early,
and that coarse, hardy plants get a foot
hold?
Give the grass plant chance to make
adequate root growth, if you would
have and keep good lawn. Encourage
it a little, in early spring, and in the
autumn lay the lawn mower away early,
and let thick, strong growth of grass
be the winter protection of the lawns
