Cabbage Rot.

The disease known to the cabbage
growers as black rot, or stem rot, has
come into prominence within the last
few years, and is said to be serious
hindrance to cabbage growing in sew
eral States. From recent farmers
bulletin prepared by the chief Of the
division of vegetable pathology, 1t APP
pears that no way Is known Of curing
the disease or of entirely Kidding a
locality of 1t when once 1t Is well es-
tablished. The whole subject of treat
ment may be summed up in one word
preventing. The disease Is not con-
fined to the cabbage, but attacks num-
ber of species belonging to the mustard
family. The planting of other crops
for long series of years Is said to
be the only satisfactory way to get nd
Of this disease of the cabbage when 1t
has once become serious.

Summer Pest.

The Illustration shows one Of the most
destructive of the summer insect pests,
which attacks both fruit and orna-
mental trees. 1t is known as the yel-
low-neck caterpillar. and is usually
found in numbers along the branches
of trees, feeding on the foliage until
the limb is entirely denuded when they
migrate to another limb. The female
deposits the eggs on the leaf of the
tree, where they are usually hatched
during July, and the young insects be-
gin feeding on the leaves.
The full-grown moth is shown in the
upper part Of the illustration. The
caterpillar is about two inches long,
with a dull yellow band just back of
the black head. This pest is familiar
to most farmers, for it may be found
in nearly every section Of the country.

Dog Sausage No Joke.

The old joke about eating "hot dog
Is no joke in Germany any more, for
no less than 1000 CANNES of various
breeds were slaughtered and eaten by
the subjects of Kaiser William last
year, according to a report from Consul
George N. lift at Annaberg. The eat
ing of horse meat seems to be quite
general in Germany, for no less than
$4,000 horses were slaughtered for
human food in 1906.
"Horseflesh-is very generally adver-
tised in the German papers," says
Consul lift, Especially in those in
large Industrial centers, and most Ger
man cities have at least one market
which makes 1t speciality, claiming
for it higher percentage Of nourish-
ment than that of beef, veal, mutton
or pork. Neither Is 1t unusual TO find
advertisements of dog meat or for the
purchase of dogs for slaughter. In the
city of Cassel recently the police, in
searching for lost dog, discovered n
private slaughter house and arrested
the proprietors, who were apparently
making a regular business of stealing
and killing dogs"
| In the city of Chemnitz alone, Con
sui lift reports, Cos dogs We're slaugh-
tered for human food in 1906, this be-
ing an increase of eghty-eight over ths
previous year.

sure greater accuracy. Accordingly he
designed the implement shown in the
illustration. 1t comprises pair OF
knives, containing numerous cutting
teeth. The knives are attached to piv-
oted handles, one knife moving over
the other. When the latter are grasp
ed, one in each hand, considerable
power can be applied to the cutter,
whereby over foot OF the hedge can
be trimmed in single cut. 1t would
he impossible, with this tool, to trim
too much in spots, forming an uneven
surface to the hedge. The extreme
length of the blades insures an even
cut throughout.

The New Mexico Experiment Sta
ton has isued very creditable bulle-
tin dealing with the composition and
feeding value Of the prickly pear and
other cacti. The splnes Of the cactl
are removed by singeing with torch.
The protein content In the air-dry ma
terial ranges from 2 to 10 per cent,
the fruit being the richest part. The
cacti compare favorably with many
forage plants. Heretofore the great
difficulty In the way Of utilizing cacti
as forage has been the spines, but
since they can be removed by the torch
a large amount Of cheap forage Is made
available to the stockmen Of the arid
plains.

An Anatomical Puzzle.

Behind the bridge of your nose is a
little cavity in the skull, the origin of

two tiny lobes. joined together, and is
named the Sella turcica. Psychologists
believe that this is the remains Of a
sixth sense, which was of practical
value to our antediluvian ancestors,
but whether 1t enabled them to see in
the dark in days before they possessed
fire or helped them to find their way
through trackless forests as wild
beasts can to-day or what other pur-
pose 1t may have served we do not

The Collie Dog.

The intelligence Of the collie Is be-
lieved by many to come as near to hu-
man thought as that Of any animal,
and 1t is possible to teach them so
many things that some very remarka-

They are for this reason the great
