moths emerge the following June and
July. The adult insect, or moth. has
wing expanse of about two inches and
is of light brown in general color.
The female deposits from 20 to 100
white eggs upon the surface Of the
leaf, where they hatch usually during
July, the young worms feeding for five
or six weeks upon the foliage and
young shoots. The presence of this
pest is usually noticed by the entire
defoliation of the limb, commencing at
its terminal Inasmuch as the cater
pillars feed in colonies, they can be
destroyed by hand picking. Infested
trees thoroughly sprayed with paris
green or arsenate of lead, either in wa
ter or bordeaux mixture. will prevent
injury by this pest. Frequently colo
MES can be destroyed by burning with
a torch or ball of cotton waste saturat-
ed with kerosene, care being taken not
to injure the trees.

A Destructive Midsummer Pest.

Usually during July, August and Sep
TENDER fruit as well as many shade
and forest trees are badly infested with
caterpillars Of various kinds. One of
these, called the yellow necked cater
pillar, is thus described by American
Agriculturist: 1t is about two inches
long when full grown, with black
head, just back of which is dull vel
low band. The worms are usually found
clustered together on a limb, where
they feed upon the foliage, gradually
devouring everything within their
reach, leaving only bare branches.
When disturbed these insects assume
a very peculiar attitude by throwing
up the head and fore part of the
body, turning 1t backward and at
the same time raising the hinder por-
ton also When full grown they usual
ly leave the trees at night, practically
all at the same time. They burrow In
the ground two or three inches, where

Corn Fodder.

The cornstalks in the United States
would be of immense value for stock
fodder If they were secured in the best
condition, but generally they have not
been well taken care of in the east and
have been almost totally wasted in the
west. Every traveller there has OBJ
served thousands of acres of stalks
standing in the fields untouched by cat
tie and an impeachment to the pillow,
which must be got rid of before the
ground can be plowcd. To make the
best fodder corn should be cut up just
as soon as the ears are glazed and put
in shocks so we'll bound that they will
not blow down except by hurricane.
When a shock blows down the grain is
greatly injured and the stalks made
rotten and worthless by rain and mold.
AS soon as the corn Is husked the
stalks, If dry enough to keep, should be
drawn Immediately to the barn. If left
in the field to dry more they should be
stood up SO we'll that they will not blow
down and not kept out to be bleached
by sun and rain any longer than neces-
sary..-Ohio Farmer.

BabyI&ins and His Friend.
Babykins had little friend that used
to come to visit him once a week. It
was the day of the week when the
nursery was swept. Nursie would put
the glass from the bureau down upon
the floor while she was busting and
putting things away, and then 1t was
that this otter little Babykins came.
It was a dear little Babykins that
had curly hair waving over its head.
Babykins would creep up close to the
glass, but he never could touch the lit
tie visitor.
One day Cabykins thought he would
creep around behind the glass and have
a romp with the dear Babykins who
lived there. Oh, he was so disappoint-
ed! What do you suppose was there ?
Nothing at all but the back of the
glass! Babykins made haste to creep
back again to the front OF the glass,
and there was the visitor.
Babykins played with him until
nursie came and took the glass away.
Then Babykins' little. friend went, too,
for another week.-Babyland.

FORT LEE MONUMENT.
Proposition to Raise $4,000 to Mark
Site Of Revolutionary Camp.

From the New York Tribune. o..
Despite the fact that Fort Lee played an
important part in the revolutionary war 1t
has remained to this late day to take steps
to erect a memorial Of the important events
that occurred in tha- vicinity in the early
struggles of the valiant fighters for free
dom. and to preserve several historic sites
that it was threatened would be entirely
wiped out of existence.
A few months ago the Bergen County
Historical Society was formed at Hacken-
sack, and naturally all fingers pointed to
Fort Lee when the question of revolution
airy data was preached. This aroused the
residents of Fort Lee to action, and those
most interested did not cease until they
had succeeded in organizing the Fort Lee
Revolutionary Monument Association. To
Justice James F. Tracey must be given the
lions share of creUt for the formation of
this association, and it was for this reason
that the presidency was offered 10 him,
which he declined, content with being Sec
rotary in which Office he concluded he
could be of more service to the association.
having been engaged in securing historical
data of Fort Lee for several years
(, The main object Of this association Is the
erection of a suitable monument on the
original portion of the old fort which in
itself will do much to perpetuate the
towns revolutionary history. Through the
efforts of Assemblyman Joseph H. Tillot-
son Of EnglewOOd the New Jersey legisa
ture year ago appropriated 81 600 for the
erection Of monument at Fort Lee. Since
that time interest In the matter has In
creased to such an extent that the people
of Fort Lee and the vicinity believe that q
81 900 monument will not meet the require
ments. The officers and members of the
new association have nearly $1,000 promised
toward the monument fund, and the Empire
State Society of the Sons of the Revolu-
ton sent representative to a recent meet
Ing at Fort Lee. who said his society would
subscribe 81 900. It is the purpose Of the
association to raise not less than s. 600, and
the next legislature will be appealed to in
the matter and asked to appropriate anoth-
er 81 900. The encouragement OF Governor
Murphy Is expected, inasmuch as he be-
longs to the Sons of the Revolution.
The proposed monument, the design of
which has not yet been accepted. will be
located in the center of what is still known
as Parker's Pond. though the pond has
been obIfterated. The plot Is now fenced
in and Is alongside the tracks of the Hud-
son River Traction Company, which will
afford an excellent view of the monument
to all visitors. This spot Is said to have
been about the central portion of the
original camp, and near where General
Lee had his headquarters.

Who Were Making Money.

Mr.. Charles Moore asked who were max
ing the profits out of the coal business and
Mr.. Johnson said he thought the independ-
emit operators and not the brokers. The
people who have control Of the mines were,
in his judgment. making the big money
from the high prices. He said the mine
owners were repaying themselves for their
losses incurred during the recent strike. The
independent men had found their invest
ments not to pay before the strike and he
thought that after the present furry IS over
they will probably be in that same condi-
ton again. He thought good many OF
them would get out Of business.
