family of butterflies; for 1 am not
aware OF one single member Of the
family that has not at one period OF
its life a bad reputation That is as
we look at 1t, for of course 1t has, or
rather they have right to live, just
the same as ourselves, but we can
hardly think so, and If we did 1t would
certainly interfere with out profit and
enjoyment
The cabbage butterfly, the parent Of
the cabbage worw, is pierius rapa, or

forewings yellowish white and marked

The female lays one egg, gluing It
underneath the cabbage leaf, then flies

the right kind in garden or field full
of all sorts of vegetable plants?
The egg matches out in about a
week. depending on the weather, and
in about two weeks the worm has
grown to one or nearly two inches
long and nearly as large as a goose
quill, fine velvet green and fat and
well favored. BY this time it or rath-
er they will have riddled the cabbage
to the torment and loss of the grow

housewife. The worm now ceases to
eat, looks sleepy, seeks some place to
hide and wait its change to the chrys-
ais state, spinning a thread which it
loops around itself, and. gluing the
thread to some fixed place, hangs sus-
pended.
In about two weeks the chrysalis
gradually and sometimes almost sud
denly bursts and the butterfly escapes,
dries its wings and flies away to meet

1t is believed that the life circle is
about five weeks and the butterflies
are often seen flying about in Febru-

be in one season, even if the last
chrysalis of the fall remain till the
spring?
In the earlier '70s this butterfly had
spread to central Ontario and the
worms had become so destructive as
to make the cabbage crop unstable,
the chrysalides were hanging in every
conceivable hiding place, and many
ways were used to destroy butterflies,
worms and chrysalis. While hunting

"a reciprocity arrangement between
Canada and the United States was on
Thursday of last week laid simultane-
ously before the parliament at Otta-
wa and congress at Washington. In
9 special message to congress Presi-
dent Taft urged the confirmation Of
the agreement. Had the agreement
taken the form of a treaty it would
have gone to the senate only, where q
two-thirds vote would be required.
AS it is majority vote of both
houses will be necessary, and in this
lies the only hope for it's ratification.
But even at that there is much doubt
expressed in Washington whether any
thing can be accomplished prior to
March 4. The basis of the agreement,
which will meet with much bitter
opposition, is reciprocity on leading
food products, such as wheat and
other grains, dairy products, fresh
fruits and vegetables, eggs and
poultry, fish, cattle, sheep, and other
live animals. Also certain. commodi-
ties now free in one country are to be
made free by the other, and rates

This is the era of microbitis-
coined word which of course means
any and all diseases originating from
microbes. A learned microbe sleuth
of the university of Chicago recently
discovered deadly germ in the hen s
egg. He counted out 10000 of
these bacilli and fed them to a jack
rabbit. The jackrabbit left this world
of trouble Immediately thereafter-it
shivered, sighed and died. But when
we consider that the professor lives
in Chicago, and in all probability
used Chicago eggs for his experiment,
we are not surprised at the result.
Those eggs had very likely been in
cold storage for decade.

Ten western states have formed an
organization for the purpose of stem
ming the tide of immigration, now
flowing toward northern and southern
climates, and directing it to the unde-
veloped wealth of opportunity in the
west. This is to be effected-or rather
attempted-by means of a gigantic
campaign of education through maya
zine and newspaper advertising, to-
gether with moving pictures showing
farm, scenes, etc. A movement of this
sort should prove successful. It is
by a system of advertising, resorted
to continuously, that Canada has
succeeded in inducing so many immi-
grants to locate on it's lands.

What does this Glotfelter man
mean about the state fair anyway?
Says he's going to make the grand
stand price twenty-f cents so that
the farmer and his wife can sit down
and see the sights! Amt he learned
yet that the grandstand is for the
swell city folks and the high price to
keep others of as much as possible:
LIE Sueur News.
He means that prices for grand.
stand tickets shall no longer obtain
which were prohibitive to the average
farmer and his family. Mr.. Glot.
felter is a farmer himself, and he is
going to see that the farmer gets a
square deal regardless of the fac,
whether the city snobs object to being
seated beside a tiller of the soil with
a clover smell on his clothes or not
Glotfelter is all right. He, very
properly, intends to cater to the
farmer and not to the silk-stockinged
class. E<% .@$.@

A young German immigrant with
$500 in his pockets, arrived at Ellis
Island last week and, after "taking
in the sights" of New York for an
hour or so, decided to return to the
fatherland on the first vessel that left
the harbor. He was so terrified by the
towering buildings, the subways and
the hurry and scurry of humanity that
he shook in his shoes and declared
that he no longer desired to become
an American farmer, which was his
intention when he left home. Thus
another good settler is lost to the
country. Had he landed at Anoka or
some other quiet place that would not
have happened.

Having experienced such little diff
Guilty in robbing pedestrians and
evading arrest, the highwaymen of
Minneapolis are now trying their luck
in holding up policemen and, so far,
with equal success. We would sug-
gest that the authorities replace the
police force with highwaymen. This
is not new idea, however. At one
time, in the city Of Paris, life became
so insecure, and there were so many
highwaymen at large, that the project
OF police selected a detective force
from among the inmates of the
prisons. They cleaned up the city in
short order. They knew the ropes
the policemen did not. These crimi-
nails proved to be the best detectives
Paris ever had.

Haiti and San Domingo have re-
ceived specific orders from President
Taft, through our ministers in those
countries, to refrain from engaging
in hosti1ities with one another-to
settle their disputes otherwise. If
they insist upon fighting they are told
that they will have to do battle with
United States warships. The presi-
dent is determined to put a stop to
fights between South American re-
publics and has come to the con-
clusion that this is the only effective
way to do it-eompel them to desist.
This is the best plan we have so far
seen put forward-it greatly surpasses
the Hague peace tribunals methods
and Andy Carnegie's scheme.

The Tea Chewers.

"Chewing tea comes from siam,' said
a traveller "They call it mieng. 1t is
in a plug, like chewing tobacco, and it
has a villainous smell. This smell is
due to the fermentation it has under
gone The tea that the Siamese en-
ploy for chewing purposes is very
coarse, rank plant. 1t is gathered like
ordinary tea, but the leaves after being
compressed into plugs are buried for
fifteen days. They ferment during
burial On their resurrection they are
very, very fragrant indeed. The Sia-
mese boatmen chew tea. The rickshaw
men chew it. The litterateurs chew it.
They say it makes them work better
This is probably the truth, for 1 chew
ed a plug myself in Anam, and it ex-
hilarated me strangely. But the after
math was bad-a headache, smarting
eyes and nervous depression."-Wa

When 1oIstoy Tried to FIy.

From earliest childhood Tolstoy was
remarkably observant of the things
that were going on in the world around
him. Thus, while still in his teens,
we find him taking an interest in the
art Of flying that was too practical to
suit his devoted mother. With char
acteristic thoroughness he invented a
design of his own and with equally
characteristic courage proceeded to
put it to an immediate test from a
second story window. But the boy.
who was afterward to find food for
thought for the whole civilized world.
was not destined to make. his mark
as an infant aeroplanist. He fell in
stantly to, the ground, and. though by
great good fortune no bones were &C
tually broken, the conclusion was SO
great that young Tolstoy afterward
slept for sixteen hours on end.
