How to Fight Coming Plague.

The warning to The Pennsylvania and New
Jersey farmers to prepare for the coming,
next wear, of the seventeen year locust has
been followed by some good advice from
State Entomologst Smith which, If followed,
may Keep the ravages of the pest down to
the minimum.
To avoid injury, growers are advised not
10 act out Young orchards, either this fall or
in the spring. If they do set they should
leave as many shoots and branches as posi-
BILE on which the insects may lay eggs with
out harm to the tree itself. These branches
NAV be trimmed out early in July when all
danger is passed.
Fruit and shrub trees should be trimmed
AZ little as possible, and IL will be better not
to trim them at ALL No budding or grating
should be done either in the fall of 1901 or
next spring, as growing buds and CRAFTS are
especially apt to be injured.
Nurscrymen are particularly cautioned In
this matter. Where sparrows flock in great
numbers the danger Of injury is reduced
Those whose trees have suffered during
the past summer from the plague OF caterpil.
lars may breath a sigh OF relief for State
Entomologist Smith assures them that there
ia no danger of another invasion OF the pest
next summer. He has discovered that
small parasite has been killing off all the
cccoons in which the caterpillars wrap them,
selves during the winter months. This par.
asi,e ia a strange looking insect which strong
" resembles fly but has many features
common to small fly.
Before the caterpillar retires to its cocoon
the fly lays one egg on the cater pillar which
is wound up in the silken ball with the cater
pillar. In the course of time this egg matches
out the grub of the fly which feds on the
caterpillar inside. The wholesale killing of
OF the caterpillar by this little insect will
cause a great scarcity of butterflies In this
state next summer. The visit of the pest in
such large numbers was largely responsible
for the poor crop of apples and pears this
wear, Their presence has been felt by farm
ers in every section of New Jersey.

pears to them, and before they

do so.
In order to have this matter
fully understood before they come

Shawnee Enrolment.

The enrolment OF the Shawnees,
who are parties in interest TO the
recent judgment allowed by the
Court Of Claims, is progressing rap
idly. There are about 900 members
of the tribe who have an interest in
the claim, and Of these about 500
have been enrolled. There are a
number who reside in the outlying
districts that Agent McNichols has
been unable 70 locate, and these may
delay the completion Of the rolls.
Every effort is being made to COM
municate with them, and Mr.. Nc
Nichols hopes to have them all regis
tered within few days.

EiI1in.- the SiIn.
Farmer,

IL used To be thought that rapid fill
fnw OF the silo was all important. 1t
must be filled so fast that no layer OF
fodder could wilt before it was covered
with another. and thus the fcrmeuta-
ton beginning at the bottom must
gradually work up through the mass
until ii reached the surface. where oxi-
,lizatiOn or rOttiug began. which again
worked downward until the drcayed
matter ON the surface prevented any
more air from going down. Naturally
We accepted this idea. rs II was sent
ont by learned chemists and scientific
men. but opinions have changed since
those days in the light of positive facts
The farmers who have not been able
60 all their silos as rapidly as they
wished TO- or have been obliged 10
wait tor help. for weather or for some
latrr field to attain maturity az those
who from lack Of facilities for rapid
handling have been obliged to ill slow

does not injure 1t if a part Of the water

moisture is enough unless the fodder
has become dry before cutting by rea-
son Of being overripe suffering from
drought, or being frOSt-bitten. Either
% these causes may make fodder SO
dry that il will be benefited by a wet

A pisCrace to Civilization.

Only the other day the British au-
thorities, confronted with necessity, adj
mitted that the British army in South
Africa had burned houses and pillaged
| homes, and attempted a defense which
only served to emphasize their respon-
sibility. For some time-a year, in fact
-rumors, unconfirmed and strenuousiy
denied, have reached US concerning the
barbarouS conditions existent in The
refuge camps of South Africa. A few
months ago Miss Hobhouse, represent
ing a charitable organization of En-
gland, went to the scene of reported
horrors TO minister to the comfort of
the South African women and chill
dren. The report which she has sent
home is the most damning evidence yet
adduced to establish the savagery and
brutality of the British authorities. She
paints horrible picture of weak and
helpless women and children exposed
by night and day to the burning rays of
the sun and the beating of the rain,
forced to partake of scanty food before
the filthiness of which the stomach re-
volts, deprived of soap and water and
condemned to sickly chlOretic cOndi-
tions, and practically ignored in sick
ness. Children are slowly starved for
want of suitable SuStenance. and dis
ease and death hovers constantly over
the foul-smelling pens where women in
the most delicate condition are subject
ed to indignities and cruelties that
would touch the heart of a savage.
Miss Hobhouse recites several pathetic
instances Of where mothers, separated
from their husbands. We're compelled TO
see their children perish one by one
from literal starvation and hear protes-
tations without receiving a word Of
sympathy from the uniformed brutes
who staggered and swore as they stood
sentinel over them.
The London Daily News passiOnately
denounces the dishonorable policy Of
the war administration. and adds:
I'VE defy any man to read Miss Hob
houses simple compilation without a
feeling of burning indignation and
shame at the deeds done and the suf-
ferings Inflicted on women and chill
dren under the protection Of the British
flag, and with the countenance and APP
prevail Of British statesmen and Off
Gals Hitherto Az people AT A--ne
have been ignorant OF what was beng
done in their name. Information was
strictly withheld Fallaeious answers
were returned 10 questions asked in the
House Of Commons. and on every hand
there was conspiracy OF deceit and
evasion carefully calculated to prevent
the facts from being known"

Sale. of oleo Oil, and oIeo.


The customs report of the sales of
OleO oil and cleo for the fiscal year 1900
show that we exported from this coun-
try 146, 739,6S1 pounds of oleo oil, and
4,256.067 pounds of manufactured Oleo,
or nearly 1880 tons of oil and 2,12S
tons of the manufactured product Our
best customers for the oil were Hol-
land 8J,976,S46 pounds, Germany g.
7S0,985 pounds. Sweden and Norway
13,j00,332 pounds, Denmark S,62S,94S
pounds, United Kingdom 1865, 764
pounds and Belgium 1892, 778 pounds.
Nearly all of this is used in the coun-
tries purchasing it, either for home use
or export, as a substitute for butter or
an adulteration of butter, and yet those
countries which buy it have a reputa-
ton for their butter products in Eng.
land, and there is no doubt that HOl-
land and Germany export more of it
than the United States, in one form or
the other. We do not think there are
many, if any, creameries in the United
States that use it TO increase their but
ter product by adulteration. The ex-
ports of manufactured oleo from this
country included ], 466,63s pounds to
British West Indies, AS, 769 pounds to
Germany, 3G4,712 pounds to United
Kingdom, SIC, 1853 pounds to Cuba and
219140 pounds to Porto Rico The

costumes and trimmed with lace or rib
bon. Oyster color is another shade that
is seen very often in these cloths. One
handsome. gown was oyster coiored
etamine and white net. The skirt was
alternate bands of cloth and net, the lat
ter outlined with tiny silk soutache, the
cloth part beautifully embroidered with
the soutache. The bodice had yoke and
sleeve caps of shocked white chiffon, the
lower part being made to match the skirt.
Many skirts of such dresses finish at the
foot in gauzy ruffles of chiffon OF NOUS

train.
Fashions in the sheer fabrics are very
attractive, and not few of the novel
ties displayed in them will find place
in the trimmings of fall and winter. -Four
of these gowns are put in the next pic
ture. each with its distinct bit of new
ness. First is a pale pink organdy,
whose daintiest feature was the Spanish
fOunce of duchess lace outlined with a
deep band of the same. Its null fchu
draped in surplice fashion was another
attractive feature. Beside this in two
thirds length is a biscuit batiste. A
fluffy white chiffon bertha and black vel
vet bands, together with a position back,
gave it look of novety. On the second
gown shown in full length was a hand
some sash of black satin figured in white.
The dress goods was white dimity dotted
in lavender, and lavender embroidery and
ecru lace supplied further ornamentation
A military bodice in sheer fabric was the
unusual feature of the last dress pictur-
ed. 1t was ox-blOod mercerized linen,
