Sending Insects to the Experiment
Station.

| From time to time various insects are
noticed doing damage in the garden,
upon flowers and trees, and other places.
While there is general desire to as
certain the names of these insects and
the means to be taken whereby they
can be killed or their mum bers lessened,
yet many do not know that all that is
needed to ascertain any information
about insects is to drop a line to the
entomologist of the Mississippi Expert
ment Station. By so doing farmers aad
others will many time receive informa-
tion that may be to their financial ad-
vantage, and will also confer a favor
upon the Station Entomologist by keep
ing him informed as to what insects are
doing special damage in particular
localities.
We now have the promise OF the
greatest fruit crop that has ever been
grown. But with all these fine pros

In these days Of adulteration those

Among the delights of the maple sugar
season may be mentioned the dainty,
delicious maple biscuit which good
housekeepers made. Measure out q
quart of the best pastry four--this is
the flour made from winter wheat, as all
the old-fashioned wheat -four once was.
Add two tablespoonfuls of cream tartar
and one of soda. Sift these ingredients
| twice through sieve. Rub piece OF
butter the size of an egg through the
flour. Do this very thoroughly, as the
ilghtness OF the biscuit depends largely
upon thoroughness of this process. Now

Dredge board with -four and turn the

baked in Is minutes. New England
housekeepers make a delicious maple
sauce for their old-time Indian pud-
dings which were baked several hours
in the oven. These buildings may still
be achieved in modern stove oven by
very slow baking. To make the pud-
ding, stir seven tablespoonfuls of yell
low corn meal into pint of cold milk,

Materials.
In England and America wheat breas

~ is a thought given to the fact tina
only small portion of the earth's in
labitants enjoy it. 1t is only durins
the last century that wheat bread ha.
come into common use. A hundrct
years ago wealthy families in England
used only peck of wheat year, and
mat at Christmas, eating oatcakes dur
ing the remainder of the time.
The German "pumpernickel" is rye
bread with curious sour taste, but
after eating it awhile one acquires a
taste for it. 1t is less nutritious than
that of wheat In the poorer parts of
Sweden the people bake their rye bread
only twice year and store it away,
50 that eventually it is as hard as
bricks.
Farther north still barley and oats
become the chief bread-corn. But in
the district north is where man is put
to thought to provide himself with
bread. In Lapland, if man trusted to
grain he would starve, so the people exc
out their scanty store of oats with the

The Harlequin Cabbage BUG.

| This insect is by far the worst pest O
the cabbage in the South. A native
OF more tropical climate, probably
Mexico, 1t has gradually worked its way
northward and for several years. has
been very abundent in this State. With
the increase of cabbage growing for
shipment to the early Northern markets
and to supply the home demand, there
also comes an increase in the number of
insect pests which attack the crop, the
hardest to get rid of being the Har-
lequin cabbage bug. The insect is so
we'll known as to make desert ption Of
1t almost unnecessary. The native in
sects are nearly oval, about an inch
long, black with red markings. The
young differ from these in being less
marked with red, smaller and without
wings. The insects suck the juices of
the plants. and attacked plants at first
look as if they needed water, then turn
yellow and die. They do not form heads
If attacked to any extent.
REMEDIES.
For most insects we have various
spray mixtures and the like whereby
the insects upon plants can be killed.
But this insect sucks the juices of the
plants and cannot be reached by the |
ordinary poisons. The insects spend the |
winter under boards, etc., and during
April fly to old turnip or mustard beds.
Here they should be picked off and put
into pail containing kerosene. If upon
The mustard blossoms they are easily
brushed off into the pail with stick.
II all are gathered in this way none will
be left in the field to propagate the
species and the fields which would
otherwise be attacked will be free from

Goose, Pigs and Plums.

a gentleman living in eastern Georgia
owned pair of geese and some half grown
pigs, both of which resorted to small
plum thioket on the hillside to pick UP
the fallen fruit
A small branch OF one of the trees was
broken and bent down to the ground, and
the geese had somehow discovered that by
catching the end of the branch in their
bills and shaking the tree by means of ii
they could bring down the plums.
The pigs, seeing what was going on,
soon found it to their interest to follow
the geese 60 the plum thicket.
The geese would shake the tree, and the
sound Of grateful shower Of fruit would
be heard, but before they could eat the
pluns the pigs would have greedily gath
cred up most of them. Greatly exasperated,
and with good reason, one of the geese
would seize pig by the ear, while the 9TH
or marched on the other side of him,
screaming and scolding. In this way, beat
ing poor piggy with their wings at every
step, they would escort him to the top OF
the hill and there let him go.
Then they would return to shake the
tree again, with similar result This
scene says a Youths Companion corre-
spondent I have witnessed daily during
the plum season.
