ENEMY OF THE cuRRANT.
Iowa Experiment Station Entomolo-
gist Talks About Pestiferous
Garden Parasite.

One Of the worst enemies Of the cur
rant and gooseberry with which we have
to deal is the imported stem borer, Sesia
tipuliformis. One reason why the dam
age is 80 great is that single borer may
destroy an entire cane, and few an en-
tire bush, and all this before we are
aware that any damage has been done.
The adult Of this insect, as shown IN
the drawing, is a wasp-like moth. rather
dark in color and Of very beautiful APP
pearance. The females usually lay their
eggs soon after they emerge in the
spring, upon canes about one year old,
and most frequently in the angle made
BY the leaf and the cane.
These eggs soon hatch and the little
worm or larva eats its way at once to the
center of the cane, where II feeds and
grows well protected from all enemies

and how the adult emerges.
These larvae grow slowly and are but
partly grown when cold weather comes
on. when they prepare for winter by
retiring to the most protected part Of
their tunnels and surrounding them
selves by chewed-up flbers and other
waste material. In this way they pass
the winter in safety and with the first
warm days of spring they begin active
operations again and soon reach their
full size.
The full grown larva then prepares
to pupate and first eats hole through
the cane. from which the adult moth
may escape. It then changes to pupa,
and towards the end of May or in June
changes to the adult form, which lays
more eggs, and thus starts again the life
cycle.
great many ways have been suggest
ed for combating this insect. Some of
them are Of no value and none of them
Is entirely satisfactory. Perhaps the
most effective one is to prune away the
affected canes. From what has been
said of the life history of the borer It
will be seen that before the first of June
all of the insects are In the canes either
In the larva or pupa stage. At this time
OF the year, too, these canes show the
results Of the borer's work, so that with
little experience 1t is possible to Gu.
out all of the canes infested with borers.
Hence 1t will be seen that by cutting
out the canes at this time of the year
the damage may be prevented for the
next season.

that cutting out the canes does not

LION NEARLY KILLS TRAINER
Capt. Jack Bonavita All But Torn to
Pieces by Enraged Wild
African Beast,

Capt, Jack Bonayita was all but torn
TO pieces by the big African lion Balti-
more the other night in an arena al
Coney Island before a holiday crowd
Of 5000 persons, rooted to their seats
in terror. The big lion, reused to
frenzy by the stings of a whip, fell
upon the trainer with terrible roar,
at the close of 15-minute fight be-
tween man and beast.
The animal raked Bonavita with its
long claws, threw him against the
back wall Of the den, and as he was
falling like log 1t sprang again,
sunk its teeth into his left shoulder,
and, dragging him three feet to a cor
ner of the cage, 1t tore the muscles of
his arm from the tip of the shoulder
to the elbow. AS the trainer struggled
to his feet the huge beast snatched his
left hand within its jaws and crushed
the hand helpless. AS it launched it.
Bonavita, almost swooning and COW
cred with blood, emptied revolver of
blanks into it's face.
In the brief moment that the en-
ragged beast halted Frank G. Bostock
sprang through the cage door into the
corner of the den, where seven other
lions had tumbled from their seats
and fought among themselves with
laundering roars. He snatched the
limp form of the swooning trainer
from beneath the very heads of the
lions. A fusilade of revolver shots
from 20 attendants at the walls of the
cage checked the beasts second, AMI
in that second Bostock carried Bona
vita to safety.

A REAL VEGETARIAN.
OHIO YOUTH HAS NEVER EATEN
ANIMAL FOOD.
Contrary to Prophecy He Enjoys Best
Of Health and Is Fond Of Out
door Sports - Diet Consists
Principally Of Potatoes.

DR.. ]. H. Kellogg, physician in CHIEF
of Battle Creek (Mich.) sanitarium,
who is one of the most noted advocates
of vegetarianism in the world. has
been gathering statistics and has dis
covered one person who has never
eaten meat In his life.
The person Is Hubert H. Bretz, 16-
year-old boy, of Celina, o. DIR. Kel-
lokg has received q letter from the
boys mother in which she says that
her son has never eaten meat chicken
turkey, oysters, or even eggs, the taste
of which he does not know. He will
not eat broths favored with meat.
From infancy he showed an abhor-
renee for meat. When child the
mother would put potato over a piecs
of meat and try to deceive him, but he
always ate the potato and rejected the
meat. When he grew older the mother
attempted to hire him to eat meat, but
to no purpose. All the rest Of the
family are meat eaters.
Contrary to the prophecies Of the
! physicians that he would be sickly
and delicate, he has enjoyed the best
of health and has never been i'll more
than one week in his life. He Is an
athlete and fond of outdoor sports, be-
ing captain of the high school football
team and the baseball nine. He Is in
telligent, good scholar and has won
many prizes as an eocutionist.
The boy weighs 14O pounds and is
Ave feet eight and one-half inches In
height. He has never had any of the
illnesses incident to childhood, such as
measles, whooping cough, ETC., while
his sister, who Is II years old and a
meat eater has had all of these dis
eases, and he remained in the house
with her all the time.
There are many non-meat eaters 10

FRUIT AND GARDEN NOTES.

The number of bearing apple trees
In the United States now exceed 2Oo.-
100000.
Fruit will ripen more rapidly of

grower Of apples.
Pears should be stored as soon as
picked. and any delay In this matter
will cause rotting.
The bulk OF our apples are produced
In about 16 states, which grow over
147. .000,0 900 bushels.
Loading peaches into cars before
they have Ieen cooled will bring

EVERYBODY IS INTERESTED
0ood Roads Movement II Now Prac-
tically Approved by All Pro-
gressive Citizens.

What is known as the good roads
movement has reached the stage where
practically everybody approves Of It,
The most dificult work in this propa-
ganda has been to convince those who
would be benefted most by good roads.

There Is nothing apparently for which
the average American farmer has been
far more reluctant to pay than to bury

ordinary person would dress himself.
drive over. Now the farmer has
reached the stage where he not only ap-
proves Of the scheme, but Is willing to
pay his share. This means that the fight
has been won. Good roads are coming
and coming rapidly.
The agitation for this boom is no
longer confined to wheelmen and auto
mobile owners. The man who wants It
most is the man who has farm produce
to sell and wishes TO get 1t to railroad
station at the lowest possible cost
Among those who are agitating the mat
ter Of improved highways are governors,
federal and state legislators, railroad Of
ficials, manufacturers, suburban resi-
dents, wheelmen, drivers and riders.
The federal government has established
a public roads inquiries bureau In the
department Of agriculture, where a vast
amount of information regarding the
methods Of road making, the soils oi
various states and the conditions at
tending upon the construction Of high
ways has been gathered and placed al
public disposal.
While there seems to be unanimous
approval of the government, few per
sons realize exactly what good roads
are, or grasp the full meaning of theiI
benefits. A good road really means {
much travelled highway in the country
covered with stone, bound solidly, ant
laid so deep that frosts will not affec

other more concise definition, and on
that will appeal to everyone, is that

LAND FOR SUGAR BEETS.
The Impression That Any Kind Of
Soil Will Do for This Crop Is
Full Of Error

The question is often asked: "Do
sugar beets exhaust the soil?" The
proper answer to this question is, that
any crop will exhaust the soil If
planted continuously and nothing is
done to renew 1t, says Charles F.
Saylor. Sugar beets will not exhaust
the soil more than other crops IL the
right methods are pursued. It should
be the aim of every farmer growing
sugar beets to make a profit out of
them the same as with any other crop;
therefore, he should be careful in the
selection of land for growing them.
If a piece of land is not adapted to
general cropping, avoid 1t for sugar
beets. Put upon 1t something better
adapted to 1t, and operate, If possible,
In such way as to make it produce
tive. II 1t is wet and sour, drain it.
II light, put 1t in grass or build it up
with legumes in rotation with light
crops and liberal applications of barn
yard manure. At least do not try to
reclaim It with sugar beets. They are
not good retainer Beets are an
expensive crop at the best. and should
be put upon lands. offering the best
opportunities for good yields. It takes
six to seven tons of beets per acre to
pay the actual cost Of production, and
1t is the tonnage Of beets over and
above this amount that yields the
profit. So It can readily be seen that
poor land should be planted to some
thing whose production is not so ex-
pensive. On poor land sugar beets
are liable to produce loss, either in
low sugar content and purity, or
small tonnage of beets per acre
