Why Insects Abound Now.

Prof. F. M. Webster: There are
three prime reasons which have made
spraying not only necessary, but in
many cases absolutely imperative, if
success is to be secured. These are
ID the destruction of the food plants
of many of our now destructive ma
tive insects, and the replacing of these
in large areas with plants of similar
nature; (2} the weakening of our
trees, plants and vines by hybridiza-
ton, cultivation, grating and budding,
and CD by the importation of varieties
quite similar to those indigenous to
our country, but more susceptible to
attack from our native insect pests
and plant diseases. The clearing up
of the native forests where native
fruits were produced, and the destruc-
ton by similar methods of many of
the food plants of leaf-eating insects,
has driven these to the cultivated veg
citation, because these insects had no
where else to go, and it was case
of either adapting themselves to o
slight change of food or perish.

Eagle and Cows Battle.

A dispatch from Somerville, N. J.,
TO the Drovers' Journal says: A large
gray eagle, the first seen in this vi
cinity in many years, created con-
sternation among herd of cattle on
the farm of Charles Covert, near
Mount Bethel. The eagle flew from
the mountains to the 1owlands where
the cattle were grazing. 1t took shell
ter in a tree, and waiting an oppor-
tunity swooped down on calf of the
herd. The mother of the calf and
several cows surrounded the eagle and
forced it from its prey. The eagle at
tackled the cows and its onslaught was
so furious that the animals were
stampeded, but they rallied again and
circled frantically around the calf.
thrusting at the eagle viciously with
their horns each time it renewed its
attack on the smaller animal.
The eagle resorted to strategic
measures, by driving the cows, one by
one, across the field. At this juncture
Covert, who had been attracted by the
disturbance among the cattle, ap
peared on the scene with a gun. The
eagle alghted on rail fence to await
Developments and a minute later Eel
to the ground shot through the head
1t is one of the largest specimens evel
seen here and Covert will have it pre-
served. Four of Covert's cattle had
strips of hide torn from their bodies
by the eagle.

EnoIand,s Iron Imrorts.

The large imports of iron ore into
England-about one-third of the total
amount consun1ed-is not due to any
fear of the exhaustion of the supply
in Great Britain. but to desire to
save the nonphosphorous iron used in
the acid process There is a large, al
most unlimited supply of iron, con-
tanning phosphorus in Scotland and
in the Cleveland and Staffo-dshire
mines. The imported ore is largely
from Bilboa, Spain.

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new
things of every day use in the market
and who is reasonably satisfied with
the old, we would suggest that a trial
of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because it
is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand,
but because each 1Oc package con-
tains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds
contain but IL oZs. 1t is safe to say
that the lady who once uses Defiance
Starch will use no other. Quality
and quantity must win.

Where the Cream Should Sour.

Some hold the view that, since the
cream has to be soured before churn-
ing, why not let it sour on the farm
This is objectionable for the follow
ing reasons: L. 1t is the butter-mak-
er's work to introduce and develop the
flavor in the cream. which gives US
the fine aroma in butter which we, as
well as the consumers, SO much desire
2. The butter will be more uniform
in flavor when one man, who under
stands the work, does it, than when
a number, who don't understand 1t,
are trying to do it, 3. The proper
facilities to do the work are always
available at the creamery 4. To most
farmers all sorts of fiavors come I'M
der the head of souring. which to the
butter-maker might be most objec-
tionable. 5. The maker has made q
study of the work. consequently is in
q better position to produce what Ia
required than those who are unlearned
in this respect--W. A. Wilson

Opium Smoking in France.

France have been warning the public
against the dangers of the latest craze
opium smoking The habit has been
introduced by officers and others
home from Indo- China, and gradually
extended to society at Marseilles and
Toulon. After being adopted in other
seaports, the mania has now reached
Paris, where it is reported to have
widely spread.

Seventy-f1ve per cent of our foreign
porn population in 1900 was of Teu-
tonic and Celtic stock-the very same
that made the English. OF course, a
still larger percentage of the native
born are of these races and of their
admixture. 1t is an error, then, to
talk of the American people 2. a con-
glomeration of races. There is an

Effects of Feed on Teeth and Skull

Effects of Feed on Teeth and Skull.
Schwartzkopf, of the Minnesota Sta
ton, treating of the influence of feed
upon the dentition of pigs, writes:
l. The order of succession of teeth
in our precocious pigs runs the same
as in the primitive hog.
2. The times when the teeth appear
are variable, according. to race, feed
ing and health. The same breeds
raised under the same conditions will
show the same appearance.
8. The form of the skull depends
upon nutrition, health and more or less
employment of certain muscles of the
head and neck. Skulls Of poorly nour-
ished pigs are long and more slender
than from those well nourished. Pigs
that are prevented from roofing will
acquire a short, high and rounded
head, while those that are forced to
root to secure a portion of their food
will develop long and slender fc.-
of head.
