lhese adult moths emerge from the
pupa stage from the 25th of May until
ABOUT the 18th of June, and at that
.inie may be seen in large numbers
lying ABOUT the lights in the houses.
soon after emerging the moths pair
/ ana deposit their eggs and in about
TWO weeks begin to perish. Each moth
deposits her entire supply of eggs in
d single nat mass upon twig or limb
OIL tree and then smears over this
mass OF eggs gummy substance which
protects them from dampness. Each
moth lays about $50 eggs.
These eggs remain on the trees with
out Matching during the entire sum
imer' IAN and winter and hatch out
tne IolloWlng spring, the latter part of
April and the first of May.
AS soon as the young larvae hatch
they eat their way through the gummy
substance covering the eggs and begin

| leaves. sometimes they crawl down
INTO the buds and feed there also.
Each larvae then spins from leaf tn

days after the pnpa is formed it wrie-
giles its way out of the cocoon and
hangs suspended by means of several
hooks attached to it's skin.
The skin then splits open, tho ann,

Its wings and flies away.
The destruction Of this insect shon,d
begin by destroying the egg patches
and then by thoroughly spraying the
trees with arsenite of lead This must
be done before the leaf rolling begins
or the insect cannot be reached inside

NARRAGANsETT TURKEYS

Farmers bulletin No. 200, issued by
the Department of Agriculture, says
OF this breed: THE turkeys OF this
variety are next in size to the Bronze.
They are Of black ground color, each
feather ending with band of steel
gray edged with black. This imparts
a grayish cast to the entire surface
plumage. Mixed with this is the finish
of metallic black and bronze luster.
They are beautiful In form and feather
and breed true to shape and color. The
female has lighter shade Of gray In
her markings than the male. Her en-
tire coloring throughout is of lighter
shading.
"Size--The standard weights Of this
variety are, for males, from 20 to go
pounds, according to age; for females,
~ to Is pounds Some males weigh
over 40 pounds, but these weights are
excessive and Of but little or no advan-
tage in breeding. Medium size males
and females are more valuable for pro-
ducing stock None of the several vari-
cites Of '''"'."ys is more desirable for
all purpo n this and 1t should be
more ge cultivated throughout
the count market.
Turkeys Ills variety are fine In
form of breast and body, not so lonn
in the leg as the Bronze and OF
rather more contented nature. They
do not average SO large in size as the
Bronze, but where grown are highly
valued. Some declare that the Mar
ragansetts will reach market size and
condition in less time than the Bronze
turkeys"
In our own experience with the Mar
ragansetts we have found them much
more docile and contented and more
domestic in their habits than the
Bronze; In fact,swe have never had any
trouble whatever with our Narragan-
sets rambling away from home and
not coming back. Roasting time al
ways finds them at home. Do not infer
from the above that they are not good
foragers, for they are, but their home
instinct Is prominent trait. Another
quality greatly in their favor Is theil
disposition to lay their eggs near home
and even in the chicken house. This
however, Is partly matter of educa.
ton and training. II properly fed and
managed for a. few weeks before tho
laying season begins but very few eEga
need be lost. Occasionally some wise
old matron will take II in her head Ia
steal away and hide her nest, and every
one with any turkey knowledge knows
the trouble in finding that kind OF
nest.
AS table bird the Narragansetts are
not excelled by any other breed the
meat being fine grained. Juicy and ten.
der. They are good layers, settlers and
mothers. Taken altogether. they are
worthy OF much more general cultiva.

SIMPLE BEAUTY HINTS

By MISS R. WILDER KANSAS CITY, MO.
In the hurry of farm woman's work
we are apt to forget the Importance of
keeping ourselves personally as attrac-
i've as possible 1t is a duty we owe
10 others as well as to ourselves to
make the most of whatever natural
beauties we have. Housework is hard
on ones appearance, but there are
many httie ways in which to counter
act It's effects and the results are sure
ly worth the trouble. ~
Such simple thing as washing the
race carefully every night before going
to bed will work wonders with the
complexion. A good scrub with warm
water and some good soap really rests
one and If tried every night will
smooth and clear the complexion sur
prisingly.

that raising green ducks for the sum

MAY TIME At The OLD FARM
BY ALICE sP1cER

BY ALICE sPICER.
There's scent of mint along the brook,
Where late the fitting catbird shook
The sun-thrilled jewels of the shower.
The hedges OF the. pIowed field CLEAN
Beneath the sudden. sunny beam.
AS distant roll the clouds that lower.
The lichens of the old stone wall
Receive the raindrops rs they fall
And circle all their edge with pearl.
Moist. scented swayings of the air
Tell of the hidden shad blooms, where
The mating songbirds wheel and whirI.
The old gray farmhouse by the well:
Behind it lilacs feel the spell
And peace be with you seem to say.
The distant orchards pinky snow
Is flushed against the stormcloud low.
And all the grasses whisper '.May!'

the statement to be correct. Now, lie
our brother editors at Sentinel Butte

or states besides that known as the
Martin or Sentinel Butte slate, it is
up to them to publish the same along
with the facts to substantiate their
assertions.
