f1ated, and, as the walls are stin 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
DINA, 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 I'M
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-
ton was first called to the poisonous
nature of the rattlebox by Dr. Stalker
Of Iowa, who, in 1884, while investi-
eating the cause of bottom disease"
then prevalent among horses in Iowa,
was led to believe that it was mostly
if not altogether, attributable to this
plant Experiments were made that
proved the supposition to be correct
The percentage of rattlebox in
meadow hay will be much reduced If
the fields are burned over when the
seeds mature the preceding summer.
The growth of perennial grasses will
not be materially affected thereby.

Keeping squashe. 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-
ties. 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 I'M
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 a frost
that will kill melon, pumpkin or
squash vine will also have some harm
full effect upon the fruit it bears. par
ticularly if 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 a 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, if not too young, and If
gathered 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 1t be dry,
and allow them to continue ripening.
Our home supply, principally imma-
ture specimens, is stored around the
furnace, bricked-up affair that is not
very warm at any time, but is warmer
than the rest of the cellar. We use
the ripest first and thus prolong the
season. or course there is such a
thing as gathering these fruits too
young. In such cases they will rot in
spite of anything. If the rind be soft
there will be no use trying to ripen the
SQUASH but the grower will know at
inst what point he may pick with rea-
sonable prospects of success in ripen-
ing. This stage varies to some extent
with the different varieties.

An authority on horses thus de-
scribes the roadster:
A typical roadster should stand from
fifteen to sixteen hands high, weigh
close about LOO pounds, be sound and
straight in every way, have a good,
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 2:30 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 ana
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 intelngen.
breeding. 1t manifests itself In what
we term nervous energy, the lnnerileu
ability to get up and get there. 1t is
true that no class Of horses are SO
difficult to breed up to high stanoaru
of excellence as the roadster. We can
not produce him from animals tna'
have only individual merit to recon-
mend them. They must be DESCENT
ants Of families noted for their extraor-
binary qualifications along this line.
To breed the draft horse, size and
soundness are the main points TO De
taken into consideration; in breeding
the race horse everything is sacrinced
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 good

They Are Clever Birds and Sean -
Have Reasoning Powsrs-
Many stories are told OF the clever
ness of the raven, bird that really
seems to have reasoning powers Ono
of these stories tells how the raven by
a skillful stratagem got young hare
for its dinner. 1t had pounced upon
the little animal, but the mother hare
drove it away. Then che raven slowly
retreated, encouraging the mother to
follow him. and ever pretending that
he was afraid of her. In this fashion
he led her a considerable distance
from the young one and then suddenly,
before the hare had time TO realize the
meaning of the trick, he rose in the
air. few swiftly back, caught the young
hare in his 5eak, and bore it away
A similar plan was adopted by some
ravens that wished to steel food from
a dog. They teased him till he grew so
angry that he chased them from the
spot but the artful birds turned sharp
" around, easily reached the dish De-

The Fall web-worm.

The Latin name of this worm Is
Hyphantria Guinea. The Colorado Elk
pertinent Station gives the following
description of this insect: This is
yellowish or brownish caterpillar Win
a black head, that forms large loose
web or tent in a great variety OF trees'
beginning to appear about the nrst 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 a very
loose tent with which they inclose the
leaves upon which they feed, and they
do 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; ID is the
moth, showing dark spots. All are

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.
