just before retiring wash the hands,
and after drying them thoroughly rub
them with almond cream, then hold
them over steaming tea-kettle until
the hands are dripping with moisture,
then dry them with a soft towel, and af-

put on pair of kid gloves and jump
into bed. Continue this for three or
four nights and you will be both aston

your mother, if she loves you, to always
use Horsford's Baking Powder, which
in itself is an emblem of purity.

APPLE LEAF FOLDER.

quently suffer from the attacks of the
apple leaf folder (Teras nainutq). the de-
structiOn of leaves IN some cases being
50 great as to seriously check the
growth of the trees and prevent the
proper maturing of wood in autumn.
This insect is ordinarily three brooded.
They hibernate as adults so that in
early spring a brood of moths issue and
at once deposit their eggs npon the
leaves Of young trees. The Larvae bind
the leaves together and often keep
them from expanding, which, added to
the injury caused by eating the leaves,
may be quite serious. The Larvae are
about one-half an inch in length, of a
light green or yellowish color. The
pupa are brown and are provided with
a peculiar knob at the front of the
head, The Larvae mature, pubate and
produce a generation Of moths by the
latter part Of June. These moths de-
post eggs for a second generation the
larvB from which are troublesome dur
ing July and produce moths during Au-
gust. The Larvae from this generation
appear during September and are most
" matured by the latter part of that
month, the moth stage coming in Oc-
tober
There is always a peculiar difference
n the appearance of the moths which
has resulted in their being described as
distinct species The fall generation
which hibernates is slate colored, while
the moths of the summer generation
are bright orange, the insects in other
respects being similar In cranberry
regions a similar moth which is consid-
cred identical with this is at times

The Land of Flowers

Three hundred and eighty-one years
ago, the romantic Ponce de Leon
searching for the faoled fountain Of
youth, set foot on land so adorned
with blossoms of every kind and hue
that he named il Florida Land of Flow
ers. To most Northerners. Florida
suggests only a refuge for inval,ds and
consumptives, OF place whence come
oranges and other semi-tropical fruits
The stare. however, has something of a
history Where Ponce de Leon landed,
was founded st. Augustine. the Oldest
settled to~n 10 the United STATE IS, and
now famous winter resort. Ia 1868
Florida was ceded by Spain to Great
Britain, in exchange or as a ransom for
Cuba, on which the British lion lad
laid his paw. In 1888, ar the close Of
our Revolutionary war, England ceded
the territory back to Spain probably
not desiring q possession surrounded
By the rebellious colonies. In 1919
Spain coded Florida to the United
States, and she was admitted to the I'm
ion in 45. Since the war of the Re
bellion, material development has been
rapid in Florida-railroads have been
built, much Northern capital invested,
and great improvement manifested. If

TO KEEP PUMPKINS.

Select sound, Ripe Specimens and DO Not
Pile Them.
A writer in an exchange thinks to
keep pumpkins in fresh state for ten
months or a year is very simple
matter. A person has only to select
those that are sound and well ripened.
Handle them carefully SO as not to
bruise the flesh; wash and wipe dry,
then store them in a dry, warm room
Let each pumpkin have a separate rest;
that is. do not pile one on top of
another Keep the temperature of the

Root-Pruning Fruit Trees.

Root-pruning acts like magic some
times in bringing barren trees into
bearing state especially when unfruit-
fulness is brought about by undue
luxuriance When trees are making
~ery strong shoots, they are found on
examination to be making roots in pro-
portion, and SO long as this goes on
fruit prospects are very much leopard
lied. 1t is the small, tibrous roots
which command the formation of fruit
spurs, and in some soils there is diff
eulty OF maintaining fruitful condi-
ton. In gardens where the surface is
light and open, with clayey subsoil,
there IS great tendency for the roots
to go deep in search of moisture, espe-
cially if the aspect is at all open or
windy. With soils Of this description
mulching is of considerable value of
no matter" what kind, SO long as it
creates and maintains moisture. -
