BUTTERFLIES AND CATERPlLLARS.
New Jersey EntomoIoGist Tells How tn
Circunyent the Pests.

A New Jersey rntomologist Tells How tn
Circurvent the Pests.
The white cabbage butterfly may be
seen lowering about cabbage fields on
sunshiny days from May to October. 1t
was introduced from Europe, and has
now become general over all the states
east of the Mississippi The eggs are laid
on the under side Of the leaves, and in
from five to eight days hatch little
green caterpillar quarter of an inch in
length. This young caterpillar begins at
once to eat on the under side of the leaf.
but as it develops it cuts through and
generally takes its place on the upper
side Of the leaf, or in and about the head
of the cabbage, where it does the most
mischief. When full grown it is about
an inch and quarter in length, and on
account of its likeness to the color of the
cabbage is somewhat difficult tc find. In
the state of New Jersey, says Mr.. George
ID. Ilulst, entomologist of the New Jersey
station, from whose essay on the subject
much of the information here given is
derived, there are three, and sometimes
four, broods year.
fly is easily destroyed if the remedy is
applied in time. Among the ones proper
to be used is hot water from fine spray
nozzle, and of Il temperature not below
l4O or above 100 degrees. Also kerosene
emulsion, compounded after the usual
formula and diluted one part emulsion
TO nine or even twelve parts of water.
\ third remedy, recommended as safe
and thoroughly effective, is pyrethrum,
or Persian insect powder. OF this one
part of the pc WIDER To six or twelve parts
of plaster, or fifteen 10 twenty of lime,
should be busted on the plants, and will
kill all the caterpillars touched by it.
The powder may also be diluted with
water, one tablespoonful to six quarts,
and applied with n sprinkler. Pyrethrum
and the emulsion are each effective de-
stroyers of plant lice and are recommen-
ded as among the best insecticides for
cabbage insects.
The cabbage plusia differs decidedly
from the cabbage butterfly. 1t belongs
to the moths and is n night flyer, and for
that reason is seldom recognized as the
parent Of destructive caterpillar. Su-
periiuially the caterpillar somewhat re-
sembles that of the cabbage butterfly,
but ON examination is seen TO be quite
different. While of nearly the same
color, it is larger and longer, and in
creascs in size towards the hinder part
1t has only six pairs of legs instead of
eight pairs. 1t, therefore, in crawling
has a looping motion, after the manner
of the measuring worms, and is almost
entirely without hair The insect is
three brooded in New Jersey. These
caterpillars are more tenacious of life
than those Of the cabbage butterfly, but
the remedies are the same.
Caterpillars Of other moths have been
found TO iniure cabbage by eating the

The recently recorded dc h, in Bos-
ton, of Jacob Sleeper removes one who
is fairly deserving of the honorable title
Philanthropist.
Jacob Sleeper was born in New Castle,
Me-, in 1902. He removed to Boston in
1925, where he entered the ready made
clothing business, to which he later
added speculation in real estate. So
judiciously were his investments made
that he had amassed very considerable
fortune before he was of middle age.
Some time before this he became closely
identified in tho movement for higher
education, then in It's infancy, in the
Methodist Episcopal church of the United
States.
His gifts and subscriptions to the
founding and the maintenance of various
schools and colleges were notable, and
he served as trustee Of Wesleyan univer-

Our readers are indebted 10 Indiana

For the manufacture of cheese on a
small scale are required a cheese hoop
about ten inches in diameter, with fol-
lower. a new washtub and a press The
milk should be taken perfectly fresh
from the COW and strained through a
cloth into the cheese tub. AS gallon
of milk will make one pound OF cheese,
the precise quantity used at a time should
be noted. Part of IL should he warmed
so that the temperature of the whole,
when in the tub, shall be raised to 80
degrees Fahrenheit. The rennet. thor
oughly cleaned and prepared, should he

duce curdling in about forty minutes.
AS soon as the curd will break smooth

squares, and then allowed to stand until
all the whey runs off. Part Of this whey
is then heated, the mass of curd is lifted
and broken into minute pieces. and
warm whey is added until the tempera-
ture of the whole is raised 0S degs. Fah-

put into the bandage inside of the
hoop and is put on the press.
After remaining there from two to

and turned. The next day it may be
taken from the press and put on a shelf

FIG. IA USEFUL CART.


In unloading earth, manure, etc., take
off the sideboards. and with a chain
hitch the team to one of the wheels,
carry the chain square across the load,
over the other wheel, start up the team
and tip the load over. As the cart is the
same one side up rs the other, it is al
ways right side up. Put in the side
boards, hitch TO tho front and drive off.
The cart Is made alike on both sides;
hence you do not have to tip it back.
The sideboards are also alike, and fit on
either side. 1t may be used with or
without tongue. If you have much
backing to do, tongue is handy. With
out tongue the team is hitcbed to the
staple G, Fig. I, by chain or large link.
A tongue is attached to this staple by a
hook, and half inch bolt is put through
the tongue and tho front of the cart at

In hauling rails and the like use stakes
instead of the sideboards.
