A TRAP LANTERN.

hold the record for plum curculios,
three having accidentally found an
oily grave in four months in our trap
lantern, and there are no trustworthy
records of any Of the other common
insect pests of orchards having been
taken In trap lanterns in economic
numbers, and one is sure to kill near
ly as many insect friends as foes.
Trap lanterns may prove useful un-
der certain conditions = where some
light loving insect becomes a pest in
greenhouses, or possibly in the case
of some local pest whose period of
fight is sharply defined and of short
duration.
In all of our experiments we used
an ordinary lantern set on brick in
a common tin pan, and this was fas-
tened to a platform on a stake by
means of stout cord around each
tube of the lantern and passing
through holes near the rim of the pan
and screw eyes in the sides of the plat
form. Water was poured into the pan
until the brick was covered, and then
enough kerosene (the killing agent
was used to form thin film over the
water. The stakes raised the lanterns
about four feet from the ground

They Are Many and All Beautiful.
Planting Time is Now Here.
Lilium candidum is the common
white garden lily. 1t is pure white,
graceful and of a penetrating odor. A
row of them is one OF the beautiful
things OF this world. Under favorable
conditions it attains a height of five
feet and is loaded with bells of unsul-
lied purity. Ii is quite hardy and sue
ceeds anywhere with reasonable care.
The beginner should select it first of
all. Later July viii find it in bloom.
A variety in direct contrast to that
named in the last paragraph is Lilium
elegans For d display on the back
lawn, when massed, no lily equals it.
1t is somewhat dwarf in habit, not
growing over three feet in height. It's
color is deep fiery red, making it I'M
usually conspicuous wherever seen. l

Co-opERArIvE cooK1NG.

Cooperative housekeeping is being
tried in several communities with CON
siderable success-that is, the eating
and dishwashing part of domestic liv-
ing. About 50 per week per head for
the family seems to furnish at cen
trail dining hall meals well cooked and
served and good enough for any one.
This figures $12 per week for a family
Of six persons, and if from this is de-
Quoted the wages of the hired girl kept
under the old system, which is seldom
less than S. per week, including her
board, it makes the living expense of
such family very reasonable indeed
and lifts very heavy burden from the
shoulders of the wife and mother.

THE OLD MAN GOT LEFT,

The story is pretty good one and
runs like this: A farmer had three
boys, who were faithful little workers
on the farm. Two years before he had
given each of them runty steer calf.
telling them that if they would care
for the animals they should have them
for their very own. The boys made
three nice steers out of their pets. One
morning at breakfast the farmer said
that Jones. the local butcher, had Of
fered him $50 each for the steers and
that he guessed he would go down
town in the evening and tell him he
could have them. When he went into
the pasture at night, he found the
steers gone. and when his wife told
him that the boys had sold them and
each boy had $50 in his pocket that
mans feelings We're too deep for utter
ance, and he went out to the calf sta

MARKETING GRAPES.
Handle the Fruit Like Eggs and Will

Handle the Fruit Like Eggs and Wilt
the Stems Before Packing.
Early shipments bring the highest
prices. The temptation is strong 10
commence picking as soon as fruit is
colored. Most varieties should not
only be properly colored. but should
remain OH the vines until they attain
proper quality. since they do not ripen
on the way like apples and pears. 1t
is usually necessary to make three
pickings. Something depends on the
season. how the vines have been
trimmed their condition and vigor.
| would pack in eight pound baskets.
Large packages are not desirable, since
grapes do not carry well in bulk. The
work Of picking and packing requires
skill The lunches should be handled
with as much care as eggs. They
must not be carelessly dropped or
thrown in the baskets in picking. Use
grape shears or knife in severing
stems. Pick in trays or broad, shallow
baskets with stiff splints. AS fast as
filed trays should be hauled to the
packing shed or cellar.
If fruit has to be shipped long dis
lance to market, it packs and carries
better If one day can elapse for whiting
the stems before packing. Grapes
should be assorted in at least two
grades In packing the stem CT the
bunch is laid downward. Never allow
the stems of the lunches to be in
sight The lunches are packed so as
to Gil baskets one-half inch above the
RIM This allows for whiting and
shrinkage.
If baskets can stand few hours be
fore lids are put on. it lessons the
chance of cracked grapes on the top
lunches. All green and damaged
grapes must be removed. Care should
be taken to preserve the bloom. In
delivering TO station carry on spring
wagons Drive with care over rough
places.
Each grower should have and use a
stencil plate. IN marketing the west
ern grower has an advantage over the
eastern grower in that for a large por-
ton of his crop he may work up di-
rect trade, securing top prices with
little or no commission. We have
found it more advantageous to ship to
from fifty to hundred merchants in
small towns than to sell at wholesale
