GRATA.
become formidable Owing to it's size
and conspicuous coloring the larvae are
readily seen and can be destroyed on
the few vines usually found in the
farmers garden, if they become too
numerous They have the habit of
dropping to the ground when ap-
preached, the same habit being men,
toned by DR.. Lintner in regard to Ally
pia.
If the ground underneath the vines
is free from weeds and litter they can
thus be easily destroyed. Eudryas
grata is-in common with the majority
of the insect world subject to para
site attack, noticeable among which is
a tachina fly, in appearance about like
a housefy.
In this locality there is but one an
nual brood, the larvae attaining their
growth about the middle of August
They then descend to the ground and
either enter the earth to pupate, or, if
pieces of board, wood, sticks or trellis
are in the vicinity they often gnaw into
them cavity large enough TO admit
half of the body, covering the outer
half with sawdust stuck together with
gummy secretion.
Packard mentions this wood boring
habit as occasional, but in my expert
ence it has been more common than
the usual (Packard) method of enter
ing the ground. Especially is this true
of confined larvae, which i'll nearly
every instance appeared restless and
uneasy until provided with pieces Of
wood in which to transform. They
remain in their snug wood and saw
dust or earthen abodes until the fol-
lowing June, when the beautiful
moths emerge to lay eggs for another
generation. Prairie Farmer.

Good Cows Are Big Eaters.

A COW giving big mess of milk has
an enormous appetite, and it is an i'm
portant point to feed her so that she
will keep this big appetite. To do this
we must keep a close watch and see
that she is not overfed If a COW that
is in full milk is poor, and shows her
ribs plainly. don't try to get her fat;
we are not feeding for fat in the COW,
but for fat in The milk. A good cow
will put most of her feed in the milk,
and may look as if she did not get
enough to eat, out that is all right SO
long as she keeps in good health.-In-

1t, as the central magnet, were to ut.
tract the highest talent from the great
American trunk lines, the solution Of
lone hundred miles IN hour" would be
solved in a short time and after compare
lively few experiments.
The introduction of compound loco
motives, the latest marked advance of
the day, was hailed as the discovery Of
the speed engine of the future, but eX-
pertinent has somewhat disappointed
cur expectations. Now they are re-
ceiving the careful attention of railway
officials and projectors on the score Of
economy and marvellous hauling power,
rather than fast time makers.
They steam freely and effect in their
trials saving of from twenty to TWEEN
ty-fvc per cent. of coal.
The compound locomotive differs
from the standard engine in common
use ONLY in its cylinders and parts at
tached to them. Itsprincipal feature is
that it takes advantage of that valua-
bic quality of steam, its expansibil-
lty, using the steam in two or more
cylinders The primary object in COM
pounding is economy of steam, and con-
sequent saving of water and coal. The
steam is admitted first to "high-pres-
sure" cylinder, and there performs a
part of the duty; it then passes into u
larger "low-pressurc cylinder" where
the remainder of it's expansive power is
given out. From this cylinder it es-
capcs into the atmosphere or q con-
denser at n very low pressure. Great
economy is shown in heavy freight
service on grades and curves.
AS an illustration of modern improve
ment compound locomotives are inter
esting. AS medium for future fast
time they could no more hold the power
necessary for fast speed-even eighty
miles an hour-than could the present
standard.
The theory of lighting ut night
trunk line from terminal to terminal by
electricity to enable higher rate of
speed has been exploded, as it is we'll
known fact that travel Mt night is faster
and safer than that of the day, for the
engineer has no chance of being con-
fused, having light guides from block
signal and switches and no conflicting
obstruction.
Future fast time resolves itself to
this: An engine must be created to
hold and disburse the power which
stands begging for capture at our door;
railroads must be constructed without
grade crossing, nothing over ten feet to
the mile and no curves greater than
thirty minutes, few trains, no cause for
stops on short distances and necessary
block signals further apart; two tracks,
far enough divided so that trains pass
ing each other may not be endangered
or their SDeed offecfad
In fact, it should be n Goublc-traclscd
railroad, with two single tracks, en-
tirely separated With such improve
ments one hundred miles an hour is
feasible, and money and talent can de-
velop it. HENRY RUSSELL WRAY.

er for making such speed is at hand.
whether it be electricity, steam, air and
oil combined, or compressed air and
electricity. lie said, however, that the
machinery has not yet been invented
which can endure the fearful strain OF
such speed. 1.-The present difficulty"
said he, Lies in the fact that the steam
is applied with each revolution at alter
nate ends of the piston head. Great
power is lost in driving this steam back
and forth. Some system of gearing
must be invented that will yield speed
with fewer revolutions of the wheels,
SO rs to do away with some of the wear
and tear of rapid running. Until that
is accomplished even sixty miles an
hour continuously is out of the ques-
ton
The question of obtaining this result
of slower revolution and faster speed is
confronted by one of the main laws of
mechanics: What is gained in speed
is lost in power" and sin slow motion is
power, in fast motion speed" Speed
has been a vital factor in passenger
transportation, since the introduction
of steam as a motive power, and al

have been wonderfully improved, we
