body; 1t has long antennae, or feelers,
II is in all forms a vegetable feeder,
and a ravenous pest. In its early
stages II Is small white worm, which
works underground, attacking the
roots of plants; in its mature stage
1T Is a beetle, and then II attacks the
upper part Of the plant-in leaf bios
som and fruit. There are two com.
mon forms of this pest, one a yellow.
ish green insect with ~ black spots
on its wing covers, which is usually
found on fruit trees and high.growing
plants; the other somewhat smaller
in size, with stripes on its wings, in
the place of spots, and which attacks
squash, melon and cucumber vines.
The ladybug, or ladybird, which is
the correct common name, is a differ.
ent insect, about the only resemblance
between the two being that some
ladybrds are nearly the same size as
the diabrotica. There are many species
OF ladybirds, ranging from minute
specks to insects nearly three.eighths
of an inch in length, and of various
colors from dense black to bright red !.

said that they are always carniverous

BUG FRIENDS AND ENEMIES
Two Important Insects Known to
Fruitgrowers-6eneficiaI Species
Often Destroyed by Mistake.

Very much confusion prevails In
the common naming Of two very i'm
portant insects among the fruitgrow-
ers, writes John Isaac, in Orchard and
Farm. One of these is classed as
among the worst pests with which
our orchards are afflicted; the other
is in all ways and at all times bene-
fetal; yet, owing to this confusion of
names, the beneficial species is often
destroyed under the impression that
II is injurious. These are the da-
brotica, or as It is frequently called,
the green ladybug," and the genuine

Watering Cows.

How often shall the cows be wa
tered? Our best dairymen water their
COWS at least twice daily during the
winter months. There are many who
claim that once a day is sufficient,
but such a claim smatters too much
of an excuse for lack OF energy on
the part of the owner At least the
facts do not warrant any such con-
clusion. Careful experiments have
proven that the cows consume more
water when watered twice, and that
is the real test after all. A tempera.
ture of from 20 to so degrees is quite
desirable, and many prefer to warm II
to body temperature about 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit,

Save all of the wood ashes and use
around fruit trees as fertilizer. Wood
ashes are especially good for peach
trees, and they will benefit all fruit
trees and vines, In using them as a
fertilizer do not place any against the
trunk of the tree, since the strong
alkali will spoil the bark. Scatter
them thinly on the soil over a circle
as big as the top of the tree. The
feeding roots run out further than the
longest branches of the tree.

Churning Made Easy.

er barrel churns, says a writer in
Farm and Fireside These churns
have stands and are turned by cranks.
The boys fastened the stands to a plat
form about two and a half feet apart
and made a steady seat to go be-
tween the churns. In this they can
churn with both hands, which is not
nearly so firing as churning with one,
and then, too. the exercise is splendid,
the motion being somewhat similar
to that OF rowing a boat The boys
are proud of their strong arms and
well-developed muscles, and TO them
churning Is no longer an irksome task.

Columbus, O.-Hiighly important Is
the change proposed by Atty. Gen.
Denman in the Ohio laws relating to
the prosecution Of persons and corpo-

stead of completely ousting them from
business and forfeting their charters
It is recommended that they be only
ousted from a continua ton Of the ille-
gal practices complained of. This rec
ommendation is contained in his an.
nual report to Gov. Harmon. In max
ing it the attorney general says that
a complete custer and forfeiture is not
always in the interest of the public
and in these actions 1t is that interest
which must be considered.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES

CANDY PULLING-N. s. City. What causes
tary made from sugar or molasses to become
white by pulling?
The exposure to the air and the
friction evaporates the syrup, which
contains most of the coloring matter,
and facilitates oxidization of the car
bon in the sugar, which is always
white and contains IL atoms of oxygen
to IL of carbon and II of hydrogen.
The syrup drained from the same sugar
in the refining process not only contains
more or less coloring matter. but has
a smaller proportion of oxygen to the
amount of carbon. Still another rea-
son why sugar is whitened by pulling
is that the operation, like the crush
ing of rock candy, one of the purest
forms of sugar, destroys or fmpairs its
power of absorbing light and causes it
to reflect all the elementary colors in
each ray. which of course results in
white light.
CARFARE-s Subscriber. City. Has the con

YOUR families; suffragettes are giving

in the actual preparation Of food
AS a manifestation OF this concern.
the number of those who are preparing
their own food is on the increase con-
tinualIy. There are many reasons for
this.
Gas ranges and other modern con-
venienees have made the task so much
less arduous. especially with bakeries

even one person not absolutely bound
by ties of consanguinity or marriage

ment.
The curse of ambition as to remun-
Grafton and leisure, which animates so
frequently the naughty habitues of in
telIigence offices, has likewise. driven
many a woman to become a slave to
the appetites of her family rather than
to her cook.
So cooking threatens to become fad

Can you cook-and if so, now do you
do it? Is the process inspirational or
desperational. professional. emotional
or scientific?
One of the greatest revolutions OF
all time is taking place just now. and
so quietly that the number of those
who realize it is surprisingly small.
Cooking is about the most universal
interest in the world and has prob
dissension and general domestic order
or disorder than either religion or poll
ties.
Menus, foodstuffs, recipes. the price
of butter and mushrooms. the relative
merits of women cooks of one decade
or another, the grain too much or too
little of salt or spice, the tempera-
mental attributes of the local culinary
deity, and million and one other
matters, have been considered endless
ly; but something new has at last de-
veloped.
1t is the minimizing of labor, the
purifying of food and. incidentally. the
qualification of fads by absolutely sci
entific methods. Taken in the higher
forms into which it bids fair to develop,
cooking will soon be a process loved

But one question-would the labora-
tory output be sufficiently comforting
and human to satisfy the epicure of
the present day?
Who knows? Perhaps new breed
of gourmands and gourmets may be
evolved.
Eliminating all mental wanderings,
however, one can hardly be too de-
lighted at the prospect of change of
system. Taken from any standpoint,
things look good" for the future of
cooks and their beneficiarfes.
The United States government has
begun to exploit carefully prepared
doctrines on the preparation and selec-
ton of food; colleges are teaching girls
how to be clever though cooking; busy
Drained inventors are making things
that cook without fire and things that
cook with a very little fire-and with
very little kitchen. too; club women are
compiling cookbooks and reading pa
pers to each other about how to- feed
