Female Brown Tail Moth.

where and when the scourge was i'm
ported is not definitely known. 1t is
believed, however, that it was first
brought from Holland or France on
some rose bushes to Somerville, Mass,
in 1890.
When one considers the remarkable
industry the caterpillar displays, its
Dutch descent seems probable. 1t
was not recognized, however, by the
scientific sharps until 1897, when the
residents of Somerville and Cam
bridge found the strange caterpillar
feeding upon their pear trees. The
Gypsy moth commission of the state,
which was then fighting it's hopeless
battle with the larger and better
known caterpillar, was at once noti-
fed, and the identity of the immigrant
was established. 1t had been known
for 200 years all over Europe, where
1t had operated from the Mediterran-
can to Sweden.
BY the close of 1905 the brown tail
had spread pretty we'll over New Eng
land from lower Massachusetts to the
White mountains, and was still
spreading. Mrs. Brown Tail is a trav-
eler, which makes her a great deal
more dangerous than Mrs. Gypsy. The
latter has wings, but cannot use them.

CoWpas for Hay.

Growing cowpeas for hay has gen.
orally been found to be satisfactory,
but the main objection to the crop
for this purpose is that the stems OF
the plants are very sappy and difficult
to cure. A week of good weather is
required to cure cowpea hay, and If
rains and damp weather come while
the hay is down much damage results.
If the crop is stored before it is well
cured the hay is very likely to mold
in the stack or NOW. making it unfit
for feeding.

Mrs. Brown Tail has them, and uses
them very well. She is dissipated
young thing, too, for she always flies
by night, and often telegraph poles
and the sides of houses will be liter
ally whitened in the latter part Of
July. The time of flight is from the
1st to the goth of July, and as the
prevailing winds in New England are
from the southwest, the spread of the
pest has been mostly toward the
northeast
The moths begin laying their eggs
soon after their flight is commenced,
and the larvae hatch in the early part
of August. They begin eating as soon
as they are Matched, first feeding on
the leaves where they were brought
to light, and later wandering all over
the tree. At night, like well-trained
little ones, they return to their orig
inal leaf. When they are Matched
they are about one-twelfth Of an inch
in length, and in five or six weeks shed
their first skin. Later in the season
they mott again. Along in September
the caterpillars begin to spin their
winter webs by drawing together a
number of leaves with silken threads
of their own manufacture, and when
the weather becomes real cold form
colonies of 200 or 300, enter their
nests or "webs," as the experts call
them, and close the holes after them.
They are then about one-quarter
! grown.
In the spring, as soon as the buds
appear, the caterpillars emerge from
their winter quarters with a six
months appetite. and proceed to eat
the farmer out of his orchard. The
caterpillar by dint of rapid and con-
tinuous eating reaches full size,

standing helpless before my gun-bar-

to the head Of the stairs, watching him
closely while he descended, cursing
fiercely to himself at every step until
he finally vanished into the blackness
below. The chances were strong that

the meantime my interest veered to
the excellent dinner being served. The
lieutenant would have his turn, and.
perchance, bring me swift release
from all my troubles on the morrow.
The English party still remained at
their table, lingering over the dessert,
but l noticed that conversation had
lapsed, and precious little eating was
being done. Evidently only the require

places, the elderly gentleman especial

their chairs to retire, and, as she
glanced up while rising to her feet,

of color swept across the uplifted,, SEN

apparently to some sudden impulse of

Rolled Oats in Calf Feeding.

An experiment lasting 10 weeks was
made at the North Carolina station to
compare cooked rolled oats with skim
milk as feed for calves. Nine calves
fed the rolled oats made an average
daily gain per head of LAB pounds,
whereas two valves fed the skim milk
made an average daily gain per head
Of 1.21 pounds. On the basis that
one pound of rolled oats is equal to
one gallon of whole milk, and that
whole milk is worth eight cents per
quart to milkmen, the cost of the milk
for 13-weeks-old calf receiving no
rolled oats is $26.96. When rolled
oats (Which cost A cents per pound
delivered in barrel lots) are substi-
tuted for milk, as shown above, the
cost of the calf feed for the same
period is only $12.46, a saving Of
$14.50 in favor of the rolled oats.

The young girl, her fine eyes con-
temptuous and loathing, turned aside
from the leering. drunken face con-
fronting her. An instant only her
man at the head Of the table, then
swept, almost beseechingly. about the
great room. Apparently no one pres
ent had taken the slightest interest In
the affair, with the exception Of the
small party Of Chilean officers who
were laughing uproariously over their
wine, and the girls gray eyes, now
almost black from excitement, came
back to her prosecutor.
"The dance on the warship. seno-

the fellows coat collar, and the next
instant he was lying fat upon his
back on the balcony floor, nothing re-
naming to show his recent presence
In the dining hall except an overturned
chair.
1t was rather smartly, prettily done,
the astounded lieutenant possessing
neither wind nor opportunity for the
slightest cutlery, and once without, |
promptly throttled him, meanwhile
muttering a few important admoni-
tons into his ear in well-selected
Spanish.
Lie still there, you drunken idiot.
Make another attempt to bite me, and
I'll pound your head on these stones.
Bah! save your threats, senior, and IL

you over the railing yonder, and it's

and l pressed the cold muzzle of a re-
volver against his swarthy cheek.
"Oh, you do! Well, you probably

and disappear--dlsappear; do you un.

My voice was cold and low, but II
carried weight. Painting still from the
fierce choking. his eyes hot with an.

to sneak.

POWER FROM MOVING MACHINE

To secure horsepower from a now
ing machine, remove the drive wheel
from the side opposite the gearing of
a moving machine, turn the machine
on its side so the wheel shaft stands
vertical, and bolt 1t between two
heavy planks about six or seven feet
long. This will give a reasonably good
horsepower for any light work. The
plank must be fastened to good, heavy
stakes that have been driven well into
the ground. A timber, possibly the
tongue of the machine, is next bolted
to the drive wheels as shown, a lead
