q DUE IN 1911.
Entomol0gist Warns Those Who Plan
to Set Out Trees This Year.

That a large brood Of seyenteen-year
locusts is due to appear in the Hudson
valley in 1911 is asserted by +. p. Felt,
New York state entomologist. who says:
''These insects may seriously %injure, if
not ruin, young trees; consequently those
planning to set out trees the coming
spring should avoid. so far as possible,
putting them i'll localities where this in
sect is abundant. The s-eventeen-year To-
Gust Injuries trees by depositing its eggs
in numerous Sits, usually in last years
wood 1t is certainly advisable not to
trim too closely the coming spring and TO
leave m abundance of wood the follow
ing year to Offset in some measure the
natural pruning necessarily following To-
Gust injury.
This species has been reported in the
Hudson valley from New York north to
Saratoga and Washington counties, it be.
ing extremely abundant in a number OF
localities. The northern range of this
species, based on the records of 1913: is
given as Schuylerville and Fort Miller.
In Rockland county it was very album
dant at Palisades on the Hudson and
Nyack, while in Westminster county 1t
occurred in great numbers north to Gro
ton. 1t was also very numerous on the
eastern end of Long Island and on Staten
island.

a height as not to interfere with
teams, etc. A small box and carrier
can be run over this between the house
and the road. The box can be sent
down and brought back from the house
by the use of a cord or light twisted
wire cable. Attach it to the box and
pass it through a pulley on a post at
the road and around a drum or
through another pulley at the house.
The trolley wire should be soldered to
the brackets so the carrier may run

For Tender Steak.

A round steak may be made tender
by soaking it over night in butter
milk. If there is no time to do this
pound the steak thoroughly and as it
fries add a little water and cover it
we'll to create steam. This makes the
toughest meat tender. Although it is
better to broil steak than to fry it, IL
the latter process is used butter gives
a better flavor than lard. A round
steak is nice stuffed with bread dress
ing and baked. 1t must be cooked
slowly and basted often with the liquor.

Ham Sandwiches.

The secret of the delicious ham
sandwiches served at an afternoon tea
last week was in the cooking OF the
ham and the abundance of mayonnaise
Used in mixing the meat. The ham
had been broiled until it was brown
and then ground very fine and mixed
plentifully with mayonnaise. The meat
may be cooked in the oven, a thin slice
being allowed to bake until it is well
Drowned, or the meat may be frle.i.
There is a more definite flavor about
ham cooked in any of these ways than
there is !. it is boiled.

LOW FARES IN BELGIUM.
Tickets Coed to Ride Anywhere Five
DAYS, Cost $2.20.

Passenger tariffs on Belgian railways
are very low. and the passenger service is
generally very good. 1t is not as rapid as
These rates shows the influence of the
politicians, says Moody's Magazine:
For instance, tickets are on sale which
for a small price give the right to ride
anywhere as often as you like for five
days Oh any of the state lines. A third
class ticket of that sort. good anywhere
any time for five days, costs only IF. DC,
Which is lust a fraction under 1920 in
American money.
lightweight per cent. of all the passen-
ger tickets issued are sold at n sort or
another of reduced rates. Among other
curious instances showing the fine hand
of the small politician we find that tick
cts are sold to electors to go to Their
voting places at less than half price.

Doctorfng Soils.

Just as, when his horse is ailing, the
owner calls in a veterinarian, SO in
these days do the farmers of the coun-
try consult a soil doctor when their
lands prove less fruitful than they
deem they should. Much of this work
is the result of experiments conducted
by the federal Department of Agricul-
ture, and the work thus far accom-
plished has been most satisfactory.

Trolley Mail Box.

Many patrons of rural delivery
routes live a considerable distance
from the highway, and a device which
would carry the mail between the
house and the road would be a great
convenience. A Kansas subscriber
whose house ish 80 rods from the
rural route and who has a straight
line of telephone poles to the road,
asks If an endless wire cable could
be arranged in some way to carry a
small box.
A No. 10 wire can be attached to

Certified MIX Pays Best.

Certified milk sells in all large cities
for about twice the price of other
milk. 1t is absolutely clean, no impure
ties being allowed to get into the
milk. A layer of fine cheesecloth is
stretched over the milk pail, a layer
of absorbent cotton is placed upon that
then another piece of cheesecloth
There is no sediment in the bottom OF
the milk vessels of milk treated in
this way. It's not expensive, either.

Some Habits of the Fly.

Concerning his experiences while study
ing the life and habits of the house fly
Henry Hill, the well known lecturer
says in the London Standard: Il wish
| could explain why a fly never walks
down. but always up. a clean window
pane. and why, on the other hand, il
will walk down the slanting glass front
Of a picture. 1t is also a mystery to me
why a fly always rests head downward
on a wall. These are habits of the
house fly which offer a field for inter
esting study.

Minnesota farmers have found six
pounds of timothy, five pounds of
white clover, three pounds of Ken
lucky blue grass, and n pound of
red top seed per acre, to be an excel
lent mixture for pastures. If the
ground is inclined to be wet, the red
top will take the place of the timothy.

Lime for Poultry.

BY experiment it has been computed
that 100 grains of lime are needed to
make one strong egg shell. Two hun
dred pounds of wheat are required to
furnish sufficient lime for a dozen egg
shells. 1t is easy to see why oyster
shells and other similar ingredients
should form a part OF the ration.

WORTH KNOWING.
Simple Remedy That Anyone Can
Prepare at Home.

Most people are more or less subject
to coughs and colds. A simple remedy
that will break up a cold quickly and
cure any cough that is durable is made
by mixing two ounces of Glycerine, a
half-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine COM
pound pure and eight unces of pure
Whisky. You can get these in any good
drug store and easily mix them in a
large bottle. The mixture is highly
recommended by the Leach Chemical
Co. of Cincinnati. who prepare the
genuine Virgin Oil of Pine compound
pure for dispensing.

A Merci1ess Parasite.

The ficus macrophylia, commonly
called the Moreton Bay fig, is a merci-
less Australian parasitical growth, says
a writer in the Wide World magazine.
1t takes root in the forks of it's host
tree (Which in this case is a Queens
lane bloodwood) and ultimately smoth-
ers the latter and usurps its place as
an Independent tree. Many valuable
trees In the scrubs of Queensland are
destroyed in this manner.

Ensilage and Alfalfa Feed.

ing twenty pounds of milk with 4 per

dairy cows forty-five pounds of en-
silage and ten pounds of alfalfa hay Il

alfalfa about $40 a ton. Thus the

is more than a third cheaper than
could be sustained on an ordinary
corn ration.
