The Fall Web Worm.

The Latin name of this worm is
Hyphantria cunea. The Colorado En-
pertinent Station gives the following
description of this insect: This is
yellowish or brownish caterpillar Win
black head. that forms large loose
web or tent in a great variety OF trees,
beginning to appear about the hrst OF
July and continuing through the sum-
mer. The larvae are rather sparsely
covered with long hairs that are whit
ish or yellowish in color, with occa-
sional black ones for variety. This in
sect is readily distinguished from the
Tent caterpillar in habits, as the larvae
of the Fall web-worm form very
loose tent with which they inclose the
leaves upon which they feed, and they
Go not appear until the Tent caterpil-
lars have nearly or quite disappeared.
In the illustration "a" and "b" are full
grown larvae showing light and dark
forms: &C" is the chrysalis; I'd" is the
moth, showing dark spots. All are
some enlarged. The lines show the
actual length. Usually the moths are
entirely white.
Remedies.-If the webs are noticed
when small they should be cut out
and the larvae destroyed. If the web
has become large, enclosing many
branches of the tree, it may be better
to burn out the web with a torch.

The Roadster.

An authority on horses thus de-
scribes the roadster:
a. typical roadster should stand from
fifteen to sixteen hands high, weigh
close about 1,100 pounds, be sound and
straight in every way, have gooo'
solid color, level head, bold and reso-
lutte. capable and willing to road
twelve miles an hour or 100 miles in
ten hours, and when put upon his
speed will show 2:3O gait or there
abouts. He should not only be able
but willing to do whatever is asked OF
him, and this without resort to spur,
boot or whip. Such an animal, NOV
ing along without padding or strad-
ding, is in great demand, provided he
has been properly educated and
abounds in nervous energy. Form,
size, color, symmetry and substance
are essentials in the makeup of typ
ical roadster, but they do not always
insure the road horse To these must
be added a certain individuality that
is always the result of intelllgent
breeding. 1t manifests itself in what
we term nervous energy, the lnherlteo
ability to get up and get there. 1t is
true that no class of horses are SO
difficult to breed up to high standard
of excellence as the roadster. We can
not produce him from animals that
have only individual merit to recon-
mend them. They must be descend
ants of families noted for their extraor-
binary qualifications along this line.
To breed the draft horse, size ana
soundness are the main points to be
taken into consideration; in breeding
the race horse everything is sacrificed
for speed; but in producing the road
ster we must look we'll to every point
of excellence that is to be found in the
makeup of all other classes OF gooo
horses.

The Tent Caterpillar.

In connection with this article we
illustrate the Tent Caterpillar, SO well
known to many of our horticulturists.
AS every farmer that has small or
chard is likely to meet this insect in
his orchard 1t is we'll to have his pic
ture. At this time of year there is
no likelihood of finding the worm in
his tent. but the eggs may be found on
the trees during fall and winter.
These eggs should be cut of the
branches and burned. The gathering
of the eggs is an easy matter. Rur
knife down through the bracelet OF
eggs and the whole can be taken in
tact from the twig. In the illustration
"a" and "b'' show two full-grown
worms on the outside of the tent; &C.

The Care OF Table Linen.

1t is not enough to have fine table
inen; it must be we'll looked after If
we want to keep it at its best. You
may have delightful meal to serve,
plenty of pretty china, glass and sill
yer, but if your tablecloth is not snowy
white and just the right stiffness your
table will be spoiled in appearance. Ex-
anime the table linen once week and
darn the smallest break. The secret Of
this homely art lies in running the
thread SO far on each side OF the break
that it does not Immediately fray and
pull out the fabric. A tiny hole is cas-
lily darned, while patch is very un-
slightly and ruins a nice tablecloth. An
under cover of canton flannel makes
the tablecloth look better, as it throws
out the pattern of the damask, and it
also prevents the table from wearing
the linen. Tray cloths should be used
under all the dishes, the contents of
which are liable to be spilled. These
cloths save the tablecloth wonderfully
and are easily washed when they be-
come soiled. When small cloths and
napkins are washed and dried and
ready to be ironed, dip them in boiling
water and wiring out between dry
cloths. Then iron rapidly with a hot
fatiron and they will be glossy and
stiff. The method Of laundering counts
for much in the care Of linen, and all
spots and stains must be removed be-
fore it is put in the wash. II fruit or
coffee stains are found upon the cloth.
place the linen over a large bowl and
pour through it boiling water from the
tea kettle. Kerosene will take iron
dust and old fruit stains from the cloth
without injuring the fabric. Wash the
soiled spots in the oil before 1t is put
into hot water, or it will do no good.
Grass stains may be removed by wash
ing with alcohol. For chocolate stains
use cold water, then boiling water from
the tea kettle. Table linen should be
washed by itself to obtain the very best
results. After all the stains have been
removed, prepare suds of warm water
and let the linen remain in 1t fifteen
minutes before rubbing, then rub the
fabric between the hands in the suds.
II any dificulty is experienced it will

A Feminine Failing.

Worry wears out more people tnan
work does, and fretting causes more
unhappiness in families than either
sickness or poverty" writes Mrs. Mo-
ses P. Handy in the October Woman's
Home Companion. Indeed, the secret
Of happiness may almost be said to be
making the best of everything, ana
good humor under all circumstances
the most useful virtue which nun. and
more especially woman, can possess.
There are good women who to-day
would peril life and limb for husband
and children, yet who daily render
their dear ones uncomfortable by 60
ing forth to meet trouble half way,
and by grieving over that which is
past and irremediable. If thing can
be helped by any effort of yours, go
to work promptly and help it; II not.
waste no time in vain repining. When
your husband has made a mistake IN
business and times are hard do not
wall over the mistake. Gather up the
fragments and stand by to help him.
If you can do nothing else you can ct
least pretend that you do not m'nd;
can show him that you believe in him
still, and prophesy that better times
are coming. Nothing so chills man S
courage as the damp spray of wlfes
tears. Did you never try to run your
sewing machine without oil? Don't
you know how the surfaces grind upon
each other, and how hard the work
is? Well, just as one hour of tHat
scraping will injure the machinery
more than whole days use would it
properly oiled, just SO one days woc-
ry will dig more wrinkles in your face
and sprinkle more gray in your hair
than will months of patient. trusting
labor. Worrying is an essentially fem
mime falling, and there are women who
do it in spite Of themselves. II sou
chance to be such one. fret all to
yourself in the privacy of your cham
ber, provided you have any privacy.
But under any circumstances do not

worse, your bottle of tears-over the

and by June are covering the. trees
with their tents. The way to fight

fated, and, as the walls are stiff and
thin and very resonant. they make ex-
cellent miniature rattles when the
seeds have become detached from their
fastenings inside the pod. The rattle
box is native in low sandy soils from
the Atlantic westward to Minnesota
and eastern Kansas. 1t is also found
in New Mexico. 1t is common in Con-
necticut, New Jersey and North Car
olina, and in some years is very abund-
ant in bottom lands along the valley
of the Missouri, in South Dakota and
Iowa.
The poisonous constituent is un-
known, but it resides both in the
leaves and in the seeds. Horses, and
sometimes cattle, are killed by eat
ing grass mixed with the plant. They
are not poisoned so often by eating
the plant in the fields. Public atten-
tfon was first called to the poisonous
nature Of the rattlebox by DR.. Stalker
Of Iowa, who, in 1884, while investi-
6dlAAS IAe cause VI uoIlo.A uAsedSe'

was led to believe that it was mostly
IL not altogether, attributable to this
plant. Experiments we're made that
proved the supposition to be correct.
The percentage of rattlebox in
meadow hay will be much reduced IT
the fields are burned over when the
seeds mature the preceding summer.
The growth of perennial grasses will
not be materially affected thereby.

Seasoning Hints.
Small pickles, olives and capers
minced fine are an excellent seasoning
for a salad dressing. Boston baked
beans can be improved by adding
cup Of sweet cream the last hour Of
baking. Three tablespoonfuls Of fresh
ly made Japan tea. with bit Of nut
meg, give an indispensable flavor to
an apple pie. To give fine ilavor to
corned beef hash, use good stock for
moistcning with pinch Of salt, sugar
and cayenne. When making tomato
soup add a raw cucumber sliced fine,
boil soft and strain with tomato It
gives pleasant seasoning.
Wild Rose Cake.
Make the dough after the recipe
given for pond lily cake, havoring with
rose and strawberry instead Of peach.
Eake in two inch deep jelly tins, and
sandwich with pink icing, and the

Keeping soua,he. in winter.

From Farmers Review: 1t is a
common complaint of people who grow
squashes for winter consumption that
the fruits will not keep for any length
Of time after removal from the field to
the vegetable cellar. Sometimes this
trouble may be in the choice Of varie-
tbs, but this seems to be seldom the
case, since even the old reliable Hub
bard is complained of as much as the
rest. Generally the fault rests with
the grower. who. busy with other de-
tails, allows his hardy" vegetables to
lie in the field long after they should
be in the cellar; grumbling, when he
does remove them, because these un-
wieldy things must be left until it's
most too cold to work outdoors"
From our experience and observation
we think it safe to say that frost
that, will kill a melon, pumpkin or
squash vine will also have some harm
full effect upon the fruit it bears, par
.ticularly IL the squashes or melons or
pumpkins are not fully ripe. At any
rate we find that these fruits when re-
moved from the vine to the cellar be-
fore vine-killing frost has touched
them will keep better than those al
lowed to remain after the plants have
been killed. In many cases immature
specimens, II not too young. and IT
xathered before the frost, will keep
better than ripe ones gathered after
ward.
We have found that gathering all the
fruits at one time and sorting them
according to their stage Of ripeness is
the best plan. The fully ripe ones are
stored at once; the immature ones laid
together In a sunny place where they
can be covered at night and exposed
during the day. They are allowed to
remain here until the approach Of
severe weather. when they are taken
TO the cellar. Here we put them in
the warmest place. provided it be dry.
and allow them to continue ripening.
Our home supply, principally imma-
.ture specimens. Is stored around the

saw that one man was working at a
disadvantage, so calling man, did
the lifting of the turf and he threw
the chestnuts. The result was that
every chestnut grew, and they are now
two feet high. then plowed half
acre, dropped chestnut every two
steps and stepped upon it. Not one
of the chestnuts grew. I plowed fur
row on another piece, every four feet,
dropped chestnut every four feet on
the edge of furrow, and back-furrowed
against this. Not twenty trees started
on the whole piece; those which did
start were where they were covered
lightly and natures conditions were
complied with. It is so simple and
quick to plant a seed with man and
fork, that shall do more of it in the
future.
