The IAroee Beetle.
J. p. Aberli. . kentucky reader Of
he Farmers' Review forwards . little
teetle and says: Here is . bug that
. neighbor brought me. asking what
eould be done to destroy same. It
gets through cotton sacks and eats
holes in hams. with the result that
small shippers appear. What can be
lone to exterminate them?"
We forwarded the insect to the
Kentucky Experiment Station and re-
ceived the following reply:
From Farmers Review: The in
sect enclosed with the communication
from Mr.. Aberli is . small beetle
about one.fourth inch long, black.
with gray area at the bases OF the
front wings. It IL well known every
where ~ the Larder Beetle (Dermes-
tes lardarius). and feeds upon dead
animal matter Of various sorts. 1t ts
ut times very destructive to preserved
skins. and attacks hams as noted BY
your correspondent The young Is not
skipper" however, but . rather
hairy worm that can creep. but never
leaps. These worms commonly live
,n the outside Of preserved meat. but
penetrate 1t when ready to become
pupae. The adult beetles enter dwell
'ngs In the spring, and then place
their eggs on anything that will afford
lood to their young. They may be
kept out by the use of screens. such
Is are used for flies and mosquitoes.
But once on meat they should be re-
moved by trimming away the infested
parts, and then putting the meat
where the adults cannot get to 1t.
Under some circumstances It is pos
sible to rid objects Of the insects by
tumigating with bisulphide Of carbon.
This IL especially good for infested
skins. and may be used without dan
ger Of injuring dried meats.-H. Gar
man. Entomologist.
Keeping Dirt Out Of Milk.
The greatest Of efforts should be
put forth to keep dirt out Of milk,
In the milking: for after It is once
in, removal in toto is absolutely i'm
possible In our sanitary milk dai-
ries, covered milk pals are being
quite largely used. In q test at the
Storrs Station 1t was found that milk
drawn into such . pail was cleaner
without being strained than milk
drawn into an open pail and after
wards strained. In one test the
amount Of dirt IN the milk where .
covered pail was used was 81 per
cent Of the amount, where the milk
was drawn into IN open pail. When
the latter milk was strained less than
half Of tho dirt was removed, It be-
ing estimated that So per cent re-
mained. This was 16 per cent more
than the total dirt in the other milk.
amount would be still further re-
duced. When milk i0 drawn into an
open pail q very large number Of
acid ferments get In from the air.
The strainer removes few of these.
In q test at the station mentioned
above only II per cent Of these acid
ferment bacteria could be removed
by the strainer. But acid ferments
are not harmful and their exclusion
is Of not much moment. What We do
need to keep out of the milk is the
whole array Of disease producing
germs, which SO often thrive in the
filth Of the stables. We would advise
the use of the partly covered pail in
all milking. as thereby the exclusion
Of much undesirable matter from the
milk is certain.

The First Shot at Fort Sumter.

Inc eStOS 0n0S AZ e0TS sumter.
It has been claimed that the first
shot fired at Fort Sumter was by q
South Carolina citizen named Rufin:
not long ago 1t was said that the shot
was sent booming toward the fort by

Beauregard.
Now there is a story that the can
non was fired by Capt. Jacob Ballen-
tine. who commanded a battery at
Fort Moultrie, on the order of Briga-
der General Roswell Sabine Ripley.
This Ripley is said to have been born
in Ohio in 1923; to have been gradu-
ated at West Point, and to have
served in the Mexican war. When the
rebellion came he was residing at
and at once offered his
services to the Confederates, and they

How Families Were Divided.
The civil war saw many divisions In

for members of one family to be fight

and entered the service Of the Con-

had charge of the prisons at Libby
and Belle Isle. and was subsequently
placed in command at Andersonville.
To what extent he was Justly charge
able with the cruelties practiced upon
the Union soldiers imprisoned there
has been disputed, his friends claim

deserts. There is no doubt that in
the North he was regarded as q mon
ster of cruelty. His son. who died the
