the herd add the market price of the

the cost of keeping, the farmer who
raises well-bred hogs has the advan-

often called "the round.hesded apple
tree borer," to distinguish it from an,
other with a fat head. AS remedy
the apple tree should be hoed as often
as are cabbages and tomatoes, but if
this cannot be done, then the trees have
to be carefully examined early in spring
and every grub removed, after which
the base of the stem should be smeared
with paste made of soft soap and wood

inch or two below the surface of the

ed everr spring during the month of
April. Common tar paper wrapped
around the base of the stems will also
answer the same purpose, but it is rath-
er more expensive and troublesome to
apply. The other kind of apple,tree
borer is known as the fiat. headed
borer," and is the larva of small fiat
fish beetle of greenish color above,
and the under side resembling polished
copper. They usually deposit their
eggs high up on the main stem or
amoung the larger branches, and the
grubs live and ieed entirely between
the bark and hard wood. They have a
very broad, fat head and slender
body, hence the common name of 'fat
headed apple-tree borer." The grubs
live but one year in the the tree, but
unfortunately the beetles appear and
the females are depositing their eggs
throughout the entire summer, so that
small grubs and large ones may be
found in the same tree from spring
until autumn. Smearing the stems
and large branches with soft soap and
ashes will prevent the females from de-
posting their eggs, but to cover all the
branches with such applications is i'm
practicable, and the better way is to ex-
anime the trees once or twice every
season and cut away the dead patches
of bark and destroy the grubs under

The truth Is that q man can better
afford to sacrifice his dinner daily for a
year than live without hope for week.
And nature has recognized that 1t is so.
What phrase is more common In our
mouths than the simple but significative
II hope?" Nor is there any human be-
ing, howsoever forlorn in material pos.
sessions or howsoever afflicted, who was
not originally endowed with this capaci-
ty of hope. Go to the hospitals. where
one might suppose 1t were easy to find
despair in many aspects. The doctor
will whisper to you that this or that in
valid is doomed, and that he cannot, by
all the evidence Of human foresight and
experience, live one day more. "Well,
and how are your" you say to the sick
man, and perhaps you cannot help be-
traying in your tone the pity you feel
for him, thus lowering between two
worlds, about one of which alone, the
one he is leaving, you are able to assure
yourself that you know anything de-
cisive. "Oh, much better" he replies,
with strong hope in his voice and his
eyes. 81 think l shall soon be well.

The Household.
Soups And Stews.


When there are children in the
family nothing makes more nutritious
lunches than soups and stews. The
soups can often be made of odds and
ends already in the house. No bits Of
meat, bones or vegetables, however
small, should be thrown away. Once
or twice week these pieces should be
collected in kettle and covered with
cold water and slowly simmered for
three or four hours. Then strain the
liquor and set it away to cool. The
next day, removing the fat which will
have caked over the top, heat the soup
very hot. season to the family taste and
vary the dish by adding tomato or YER
micelli, barley or dices of vegetables.
The eaters will never know how econ
omical the warm, palatable food is.
When you wish to make fine, clear
soup. beef shank is the best to buy,
having its bone we'll cracked. If you
must make your soup or stew the day
it is to be eaten, be sure and take the
time and trouble to cut off all the fat
from the meat. Nothing is more repul-
sive to the eye and taste than globules
Of grease swimming on top of soup, and
these cannot be skinned off when hot.

Flower Garden and Lawn.

Do not NOW the lawn too closely at
the end of the season. A good length
of grass will be of use as a mulch.
Cannas.-The advice to cut away the
tops as soon as the frost has killed them
is erroneous; unless the toys are cut at
the least indication Of frost, the roots
are very difficult to keep.
Hyacintts, Tulips, and other Holland
bulbs, should be planted as soon as
they can be obtained. Narcissus OF
the Polyanthus section are of uncer-
tain hardness, and good layer OF
litter will make them more sure.
TuJcroses too late with their bloom

Apple Tree Borer.

There are two very different insects
known under the common name ofapple
tree borer. One of these is handsome
beetle about one inch long with two
longitudinal white stripes on the top Of
wing cases and thorax; these stripes
are placed between two of cinnamon
brown, hence the name of "two-striped
saperda" or Sdperda Jivtttata. The
female of this insect deposits her eggs
on the soft bark of the stem near the
ground or close to the main roots. This
usually occurs in the spring or about
the time the trees arc in bloom. The
young grubs bore through the bark
into the soft wood, where if not dis
turbed they remain and continue to
feed for three years, then pass through
their last transformation and become
beetles. This is, in brief, the history
of this insect, and we may add that
where grass and weeds are allowed to
grow about the stems of young apple
trees they afford fine shelter for this
pest, and uncultivated and neglected
trees always suffer more from its depre.
dation than those around whose stems
no weeds or grass are ever permitted to
grow. As the larva or grub of this
beetle has a round body and head, it is
