large-sized lard can half full of
water on the stove. Husk the corn
and pick very clean of silks. When
the water boils put in the corn, let
ting it remain for Is or 20 minutes;
or just as soon as the milk is set
take out quickly. Put in more corn,
adding more water from time to time
as is necessary. The water should
cover the corn; only be sure the wa
ter is boiling when corn is put in.
When cool enough remove corn from
the cob by first cutting the thinnest
possible slice off the ends of the grain
with sharp knife; then scrape with
a dull knife until all the pulp and
chit are scraped out. This leaves all
the husk of the grain on the cob.
The corn is now ready for the evap-
orator and will dry in "a hours if
proper heat is kept up. If covered

put in tight box or drawer, or some
other dark, dry place it will keep

will give plans for an evaporator
which any man or boy handy with
tools can make. If the evaporation
cannot be made the corn can be dried
in the sun, but it must be subjected
to heat before putting away.
Get a goods box two feet SQUARE
and three feet high. Take out one
end and one side. Bore six two-inch
holes in top and tack on screen wire.
Nail cleats 21s inches apart on sides
to hold up trays, which should be
made 1H inches shorter than box,
so that every other tray can be
pushed back, and the others pulled
forward, so as to give a chance for
distribution of heat. Then a door is
made of the boards that come out of
the side of the box so as to close all
up tight. Now set four posts 7h
feet above ground, just far enough
apart to admit box; next build a
furnace as per plan. Then board up
inside posts and set box on top. A
layer of rock or brick must be laid
between the furnace and the boards
to prevent them taking fire. Use an
old stove door to close up front of
furnace, propping it up about an inch
at the bottom for draft. This evap-
orator can be used for drying all
kinds of fruit.-Rural World.

BUFFALO TREE HOPPER.
Apple Growers Are just Beginning to
Realize the Extent of Damage
Caused by This Insect.

Prof. A. T.. Popenoe, of the Kansas
experiment station, sends out press
bulletin 50 in which he has the follow
ing to say on the Buffalo tree hopper:
Numerous inquiries received by the
chronological department of the Kan
sas experiment station from different
parts of this and neighboring states,
accompanied by specimens of apple
twigs and branches showing the work
of the Buffalo tree-hopper, lead us to
believe that the apple-growing public
is becoming awakened to the album
dance of this orchard insect, though
not aware of the method of avoiding
the injury of it's numerous punctures.
The facts brought forward by corre-
spondence with those who report the
damage confirm the previously pub
lished deductions of this sta ton, where
the true nature of these injuries was
first made known. Upon inquiry as to
the condition of the injured trees dur
ing the previous August and Septem-
Der, it appears in each case that the
trees were grown at that time in weeds
and grass, cultivation having been sus-
pended, for one cause or another, and
the orchard weeds allowed to grow un-
checked. Inquiry from the same re-
porters as to the amount of injury in
orchards where cultivation was not
thus suspended shows in such an al
most entire immunity from the work of
the pest. The inference is too plain to
need special argument. Clean culture
during the late summer, to keep the
grounds free from weeds on which the
young hoppers feed, will protect the
young orchard from attack. When
the trees are already badly punctured,
the only thing that can be done is to
cultivate generously the coming sea-
son, to keep the injured trees in the best
of thrift, and to assist them in out
growing the injury. 1t has been sug-

Good Cows and Rich Food.

Rich foods will no doubt assist in the
production of rich milk by providing
the proper materials required, but it
is natural for some cows to give richer
milk than others, no matter what the
quality of the food may be. Rich foods
affect the quantity of milk, however,
and especially when a variety is al
lowed. Good cows and rich food should
be used and the profits will be larger.
