busy laying their eggs. II you
see a beetle looking like the drawing
herewith. with nearly cylindrical body
and long feelers, kill 1t, for 1t is
capable OF much mischief. To pre-
vent egg-laying, clear away all weedy
growth from around the base of apple
trees so as leave the bark freely ex-
posed to sunshine.
Other boring insects are also busy
now laying eggs for grubs that will
work havoc with fruit trees The
peach tree borer moth Is one of the
worst of these. This is a small day
flying moth that lays it's eggs about
the base of the trees. The eggs soon
hatch into grubs that bore into root
and bark and often kill the tree. II
is a good plan to wrap paper around
the base of the trunks and then cover
the paper with tanglefoot. This has
tendency to prevent the moths from
laying eggs. Another way is to place
lot of refuse tobacco stems around
the base Of the tree. Still another is
to mound up the tree with loose soil
to height of six or eight inches, so
If any eggs are laid the grubs will
be easier to dig out.
All of these methods are to be sup
plemented in fall by careful examina-
ton and digging out of any borers
found.

OATS RECOGNIZED
AS ANIMAL FOOD
Plant, Like Wheat, Seems First
to Have Been DomestiCated in
Europe or Asia Minor.

The oat plant, like wheat, seems
first to have been domesticated in
Europe or Asia Minor. The Greeks
knew 1t and evidence is not lacking
that it was plentiful in the south of
Italy during the time of Roman En-
pire. 1t has been found in the Swiss
lake dwellings of the Bronze Age. II
seems that the Hebrews and Egyp-
tians did not cultivate the oat plant
but that its ancient domestication was
largely confined to the country north
of Italy and Greece.
This plant has not been found In a
wild state and indications point to its
origin from a single prehistoric form,
= native of eastern temperate Europe
ind of Tartary.
Oats have always been recognized
as a feed for domesticated animals,
and in times of scarcity as good food
for man. While the crop is still
largely grown for horse feed, its use
as human food has largely increased
in recent years.

SALAD MAKING

Ali POSSESSES like to serve salads
attracrlvely and we are all longing to
find some new and fetching way Of
presenting old materials.
Almost anything it is said except
milk and -four may be made into q
salad, yet we would avoid the COM
bination Of foods which do not har-
monize as we avoid inviting to our
tables those whom we know are not
congenial to our friends.
Carrots, potatoes, turnips and such
vegetables are cooked before combin-
ing in 4 salad. Cut in cubes, or balls.
Beets are sliced or If small left whole
Food value should come first in the
making of a salad especially where 1t
is to form the main part of a meal,
like a luncheon.
Then the arranging and garnisbing
is a feature most important. Who
has not turned away from perfectly
good and wholesome salad because It
looked mussy and unattractive? The
perfection of combination and flavor
count for nothing If the salad has
been carelessly prepared.
When meats and potatoes are used
a salad is always improved if these
stand in seasoned dressing for while
before combining.
If green plants as lettuce, cress, par
sley and such green things are used,
they should be crisp and fresh.
Rings from red and green peppers
the coral of the tomato in fact there
is no color combination which cannot
be delightfully."- managed with vegeta-
bles.
The point to a salad is its favor,
and If it is elusive and unnamable so
much the better, we all like mystery
IN a degree even in our food.
The salad dressing is another i'm
portant consideration. The simplest
is the French, the most popular is
mayonnaise,
For French dressing one part OF
vinegar with three parts oil is a good
proportion, with salt and pepper to
taste. A teaspoonful of powdered
sugar is liked by many.

The Fall Webworm Is the most
oorspicuous orchard insect In August
sDd september. These insects hatch
.hout midsummer and begin feed
,ng on the green surface of the leaves.
AZ they move about they spin a filmy
s1ken web under which they always
remain. AS they grow they extend
tbe web, carrying 1t over all the
leaves they attack, 80 that the whole
branch will be webbed up by a single
colony before the caterpillars mature.
There is generally, however, some
cne part Of the branch where the in
sects retire between meals and dur
ing periods OF Noting. Here the
web becomes thicker and when in au-
mmn the leaves fail, taking with
them most of the gauzy web this shell
ter tent generally remains on the
leaAess branches.
The webworm shelter is very differ
ept from that made by the common
Tent Caterpillar in spring. There are
pobably various reasons for this. In
the first place the webworms are
born during the hottest season of the
year SO they do not need to huddle
together in n narrow room to keep
warm as the Tent Caterpillars do in
early spring. In the second place
Il seems probable that a caterpillar
that eats only the green surface of
the leaves as webworms do must take
a longer time getting its meals than
does q caterpillar that devours the
whole leaf, so the period of exposure
to natural enemies during eating
would be greater in the case of the
vebworm. And In the third place,
the webworms are developing at a
period when parasites and predaceous
insects are most abundant. The over
head web must save the lives of
many webworms that otherwise would
be destroyed by their enemies.
But II the web protects the worms
from these insect foes it makes them
easy to see by the orchardist, so that
the only excuse for leaving the pests
to defoliate the tree is dire neglect.
