II lays eggs. probably mostly In April
and May, In ~crevices In the bark OF
suitabls trees, usually On the south.
west side. The eggs hatch In . few
days. and the young grubs eat their
way through the bark and burrow in
the wood. sometimes completely grid
ling the tree. BY next spring the
grub has grown to full size. 1t then
bores outward nearly through the bark
Of the tree, and then undergoes trans
formation into a pupal stage. CORE

ny. After about three weeks In this
condition. the adult beetle energies
from the skin or case of the pupa. cuts
q hole through the bark. and comes
out prepared to do Its part in the
work Of laying more eggs.
Several methods are used to check
the work OF the borers. The presence
of the borers in the trees may be de-
tected by dis~colorations OF the bark,
by the emulation of sap or gum, or
by the presence OF castings beneath
the burrow. In such cases, II the bur
rows be not too deep or too long. the
borers may be killed with a pointed
wire. Otherwise they may be destroy
ed by cutting them out with q knife,
or by pouring kerosene or hot water
into the holes.
The best way to combat the borers
Is by preventing the laying OF eggs on
the bark OF the tree trunks. Wrapping
the trunk with newspaper or wrapping
paper Is one Of the easiest and best
methods OF securing this result. and
It has the advantage that besides keep
ing the female beetles from the bark.
the paper protects the bark from the
injurious effect OF the heat Of the sun.
Paper used for this purpose should
cover the tree trunk completely. and
be held In place by Irvine not strong
enough to inJure the growing tree.
Soil should be drawn up an inch or
two around the paper at the foot OF
the tree. to prevent the female beetles
from getting inside the paper from
below. and the top OF the paper should
be made TO IT the bark closely. A
band Of cotton lint just inside the top
OF the paper will serve to keep the f.
males out from above.
Various washes have been used to
prevent the insects from laying their
eggs on the bark or to kill the newly
Matched grubs before they make their
way into the bark. but II Is not GER
tain that the use OF these will always
be found profitable.
Even more important than protect.
ing the bark Of the trees from the
~egglaying female beetles IL the mat.
ter OF keeping the trees In vigorous
condition by proper cultivation OF the
soil. Grass and weeds should not be
allowed to take the moisture needed
by the trees After rains the crust OF
the soil should b broken into . fne
mulch to reduce the rate Of eyapora-
ton from the soil. II IL also recon-.
mended that trees be headed low. %
that the leaves may shade the trunk
from the hot midday sun.

Authorities disagree as to tho ad.
visibility of grinding the corn for
hogs. some feeders claiming that It
does not pay for the cost and trouble
OF grinding. while others think that
1t does pay we'll.
Ny experience Is that some hogs will
chew corn well. while others will not
break half the grains. Usually a young
hog will chew its food better than
IN old one. l fattened a hog last
year on dry corn, but not one-half OF
the grains were broken.
Where a hog will not chew its feed
we'll l think it will pay TO grind Its
feed.
Hogs will not chew wheat well. and
no hog will chew ~buckwheat we'll. SO
these grains should always be ground
before feeding to hogs.

but to business men generally who
carry risks on their stocks and goods.
The case is that Of the Peever Mer-
camille company, of Sisseton, VS.. the
State Mutual Fire Insurance Company,

and at the expiration Of the term Of
the policy, renewed the same from the
home office. Shortly after the renew
