WHAT A DAUGHTER CAN DO.

There IL 80 much daughter can do
for her mother that 1t is hard to
know where to begin.
Suppose we start with how she can
help with the homework and care of
the younger children.
For years the mother has had the
entire charge Of both. and 1t is time
she was relieved.
Patiently and uncomplainingly she
has drudged along with no thoughts
but for her children's welfare and
comfort.
1t should be the daughters Joy, as
well as duty, to bring a little recre-
alton and pleasure into her mother's
life.
Remember girls, that all your lives
your mothers have been sacrificing
themselves for you.
Now you have a chance to reverse
things.
Your shoulders are young and
strong; help lift the burden little
from the tired shoulders that have
borne 1t so long.
Let her see that you appreciate all
that she has done for you.
Take the heaviest part OF the
homework of her hands.
Make her stay IN bed in the morn
ing while you get the breakfast.
Send her out to enjoy herself while
you look after the children.
OF course, you can not do this
every day, but you can do your share
of 1t.
II you are a business woman, you
can not do much of this sort of thing
but there are many little pleasures
you can give her.
Something pretty to wear will
please her. She Is a woman, you
know, and likes pretty things as well
as you do.
Confide In her and tell her your
hopes and ambitions. She Is better
than all the girl friends in the world
and will never tell your secrets.
The trouble about mothers is, tina
we get so used to them that we DOM
half appreciate them until We lose
/ them.
Then quickly enough we realize
what all that divine care and tender
ness meant.
No matter how much you do, you
can't begin to return all they have
done for you. but do the best you
can.
A little love and petting is always
appreciated by mothers; try it with
yours and see If she does not thrive
under it.
AS for the girls who talk and act
unexpectedly toward their mothers
for them no criticism Is too harsh.
II they only knew what outsiders
think Of it. think they would stop it
The prettiest girl in the world Ii
absolutely devoid of charm II she i:
impairment to her mother.
Begin to-day, girls, and save your
mothers all the worries you can;
show them all the consideration you
can, and give them all the love you
can.-Selected

OLD AND NEW FRIENDS.

Make new friends, but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made friends, like new-made
wine,
Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test,
Time and change, are surely best.
Brow may wrinkle, hair turn gray,
Friendship never owns decay:
For mid old friends, kind and true,
We once more our youth renew.
But, alasi old friends must die;
New friends must their place sup
ply.
Then cherish friendship in your
breast;
New is good, but old Is best.
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver. these are gold.

their tiny eggs in the soil near the
stalks of corn.
The next year these eggs hatch out
young root-worms which begin to at
tack the corn almost as soon as ii is
out of the ground. Throughout the
the summer these northern corn root
worms are at work on the roots, until
the worms become full grown in the
late summer. When they become ma
ture they transform to the pupa, or
resting stage, in which stage they
spend a short time. Finally the plain
green beetle energies from this pupa.
The beetles then deposit their eggs
for another crop of root-worms for
the next year. AS far as 1t is known
there is but one breed Of this form in
a season.

worm is green, with IL black spots on

The corn root-worms are undoubted-
ly the most serious insect pests with
which the Iowa corn grower has TO
contend The presence of root-worms
in a field is usually indicated by a
whitening of the young plants, the
failure to produce well developed
ears, or a general retarding of the
growth without any visible cause. A
search among the roots of such stalks
may bring to notice the tiny root
worms.
The root-worms themselves are
small, slender white grubs, about half
an inch long when they are full
grown. Infested stalks of corn may be
pulled out easily and will break off at
the place where the root-worms are
at work, leaving the greater
part of the roots in the
soil Frequently stalks infested
by the root-worm are blown to the
ground by the wind, the root system
having been so cut off that the stalks
cannot stand the strain. Bowman and
Crossley have shown how a continu
Gus cropping of corn on the same
ground will very soon increase the
number Of root-worms to an alarming

extent, and consequently decrease the
yield
Preventive measures. Rotation of
crops is the most effectual preventive
of root-worms. The beetles of the
root-worms usually deposit their
eggs in the old infested fields. BY
changing the corn from such a field to
another which was not in corn the
preceding year, these eggs are left
behind.
There are two kinds of these
worms; the northern corn worm"
and the southern corn root-worm."
Since the habits of the two are very
different I'm some essential points, a
few further remarks concerning them
are given below The two are east
ly distinguished in the beetle stage,
when they are commonly found on
the corn silk in the fall.
The northern form of the root-worm
in its adult stage is a plain grass

about quarter of an inch long. The
