their idea of the Supreme Court. In

ner, in the young canes of blackberry
and raspberry. Still another "long-
horned" beetle, the "oak-pruner," Ella
phidion villosum, lays its eggs in the
branches of oak and other trees but
leaves the girdling to be done by it's
larvae. In this case the larva feeds in
the heart of the twig until 1t is nearly
full grown and then cuts the twig al
most off at the lower end of its bur-
row. Immediately after the cut il
made 1t retreats into the burrow above
and waits for the wind to blow the
twig to the ground, where it completes
its transformation within the burrow.
The adult of the raspberry cane
maggot," a two-winged fly Of the genus
Phorbia, lays its egg near the tips Of
young raspberry shoots. The larvs
which matches enters the cane and
after working it's way downward for
several inches it encircles the shoot
several times, with a spiral groove
made just beneath the bark, which
kills the shoot above, and the larva
feeds thereafter on the dead wood.
The "currant stem-girdler," Janus in.
tiger, saw-f1y, punctres the bark OF
currant bushes near the ends of grow

In similar manner, but the ones that
have been mentioned will serve to
show that the peculiar habit, in one
form or another, is shared by insects
belonging to widely separated groups.
1t is interesting that so many species,
which in most respects do not resem-

represent at least three orders, have
adopted some form of this peculiar
way OF providing for the safety and
comfort Of their progeny.

GOOD CULTURE OF POTATOES
DesIrabllfty Of Planting Seed Deep In
solI-New Land Planted to
Glover Is Best.

In growing potatoes, my pet Idea Ia
to plant the seed deep, so the crop
will get all the moisture possible. Let
the seed be at least or inches
below the level of the soil In which
the potatoes are planted, says writ
or In the American Cultivator
BY all means set the seed In deep.
We need not cover them full depth
when planted, but leave the burrows
10 be filed In gradually during the
subsequent civilizations. Do not hill
the potatoes much; just round the
earth about the vines sufficiently to
keep the tubers well covered over.
Soil suitable for potato growing must
be well drained and when this has
been done, either naturally or arti-
ficially, 1t is very important, this
planting deeply so the roots will form
well down deep In the moist, cool
soil, which makes IDEAL conditions for
the production of large tubers In
abundance. This % the principle of
so-called trench culture" of potatoes.
Happily, we can perform now nearly
all the work OF cultivation and har-
vesting by machines run by horse
power, thus doing away with the
costly and tedious hand labor. In
growing all crops we must cut down
the expense of culture to the lowest
possible mark.
In selecting soil for potato culture,
new land or land recently in grass
and clover affords ideal conditions for
the growth of the potato. The second
season after blowing up the grass or
clover sod is much more suitable for
potato culture than the first, as OBJ
viously we cannot plant the seed
deep on a new tough sod, but a year
or two, first in corn culture, will
tame the sod SO as to at 1t admirably
for the potato.

Latest Models the Prettlest.
Several changes are noted In tn,
shaping of the kimonos of Powered

cuts are undeniably an improvement
upon the former models. Most of all
marked Is the treatment of the back

the neck to the hips. The straight
cut front forms are gathered into a
neck band which is a continuation of
the one bordering the garment and
the narrow straight sleeves are set

RIGHT TIME TO PLANT TREE
Work Should Be Done Just as Soon
az New Growth Is About to
Begln-Start With Season.

1t may be said that the right time to
plant any tree, root or shrub is Just as
the new growth is about to begin. 1t
follows from this that the planting
season may be prolonged II the tree
or plant can be kept in dormant con-
dition. This Is constantly done by
keeping trees in low temperature
until two weeks after the natural
planting time.
But there are other considerations,
besides the convenience Of the plan
ter. A tree will make better, heal,
thier growth, II 1t starts with the sea
son. The condition of the soil is
more likely to be right then. than
later. We are more certain of sufi-
cient moisture, and just the proper
amount of heat. Later there may be
lack of rain, and too much heat.
And yet we sometimes have In the
early part of the season too much
rain, SO that the soil IL really not fit
TO work. 1t 10 too much like mortar.
30 It IL sometimes necessary to hold
trees waiting for the proper condition
Of soil. So 1t can b. seen that the
best general rule Is to plant just be-
fore the new growth starts.
There 10 no harm done II the buds
swell and open. and the leaves begin
TO expand, provided the weather Is not
too hot and dry. But 1t ia preferable,
because little safer, to set them out
say twenty-four hours before the buds
open.
1t goes without saying that trees
may be successfully transplanted both
earlier and later than the ideal time.

Tho Rain.

About three-quarters of the rain
which refreshes the continents Of the
earth is due to the condensation OF
the vapors rising from the soil and
not to those coming from the oceans.
Elaborate estimates, based on all
available data as presented In Ger
many, show that the annual rainfall
for the entire globe is equivalent to
layer of water enveloping the earth
to depth Of about three feet. The
quantity of rain water and melted
snow falling In year is put at 1900
cubic miles. More than two-thirds OF
this fall upon the sea. South America
is, 1t Is said, the only one of the con-
tinents on which the annual rainfall
on land exceeds that on the surface
Of the sea.

Rhodes.

Rhodes, recently brought to the pub
lie notice by the Italian attack, Ia
said to have been peopled from Crete
as early as B. G. S16. Rhodes, its
chief city, was built about B, G. 420,
and had its most flourishing time from
500 to 200 B. c., after which 1t began
TO decline. It was at Rhodes that the
famous Colossus stood, for long
time one of the Seven Wonders OF
the world. The island and city are
replete with history, especially in con.
nectioa with the celebrated orders OF
knights. chief among which were the
hospitallers and the knights of st.
John. 1t fell into the hands of the
Turks about 1892.
