ANTICS Of INSECTS
REVEALED BY EXPERT
Traits and Habits of Little Creatures
Are Full of Interest-Song
of the Cricket.

The Rip Van Wrinkles. the Jekylls and
Hydes. the aristocrats. the philosophers
and the "hoboes' of the insect world are
described in communication to the Ma
tional Geograp hic Society by David Fair
child. the plant explorer. who has secured
the world for plants of economic value
and introduced them into the United
States.
In describing the peculiar habits and
remarkable achievements of insects. he
says. the champion aeronaut is the king
grasshopper which has the ability to
jump 100 times it's length. 1t can also
sail for l $50 miles before the wind. These
srasshoppers sometimes go in such num-
bers that they make cloud 1000 square
miles in extent. Its great front lip hides
a pair of jaws as effective as hay
chopper and it has an appetite as vora-
cious as that of hippopotamus." writes
Mr.. Fairchild. "A younS chick finds
itself shut inside the eggshell and must
work its way out alone, but the young
grasshoppers find themselves-the Whole
nestful-shut in hardened case in the
ground made by their mother, and 1t
takes half-dozen of them working to-
gether to dislodge the lid which shuts
them in.
Song of the Cricket.
THE carrying power of the song OF
the cricket is extraordinary; there are
species whose strident notes cana be
heard for a mile, although their little
bodies are scarcely more than an inch In
length The males alone are musical, and
it is reasonable to suppose, since the fe-
males have ears in their fore legs, that
they are singing to their mates and not
to mankind. AS one listens to their
friendly song it is hard to appreciate
what fighters they are among themselves,
the larger ones even turning cannibals
when food is scarce.
.Of all creatures of our houses, the
cockroach is the most detested House
wives may be surprised to learn that a
cockroach can live five years and that 1t
takes a year to develop to maturity. The
female lays her eggs in a horny capsule
lire a spectacle case, which she carries
about with her until she is ready to de-
nosit it in some suitable place. Later
She returns to help her baby cockroaches
out of their Shells.
THE song of the cicada is the noisiest
in the insect world. The seventeen-year
cicada has been called the Rip Van

While the men are busy with their

problems of the farmhouse. Efficient
methods of replanning the home, home

work occupies herself throughout the
year in visiting and remapping the
systems of home-management prac-

A representative visited the farm
and found it apparently in good condi-
ton, supplied with good buildings, and
annually yielding bumper crops OF
grain and roughage, 80 bushels OF
wheat, 60 bushels of corn and two tons
Of hay to the acre.
1t was a different story, however,
when the expert examined the live
stock. The dairy cows we're scrubs Of
the worst variety, with staring coats
and every rib showing, and with I'D
ders not larger than mans two fists.
The swine and horses were also in
ferior specimens of twentieth century
live stock, while the supply of farm
machinery was in no sense modern and
efficient. Here was a case of coun-
tryman who was exerting all his ener-
gies toward the production of profit
able crops, only to feed them to UNI
profitable live stock.
From II cows he obtained only
enough milk to supply the need OF his
family of six persons. The department
showed him where the leak was, and
explained to him how he could har-
monize all his operations and render
his farm more fertile and profitable by

Farmers Take Kindly to the Plan.
The popularity OF this movement to
rejuvenate sick farms increased to
such an extent that year ago the de-
partment organized the Missouri Farm
Management association, the pioneer
society of it's character in America, the
members being recruited from among
the ranks of the owners of Improbable
farms who desired to nurse all the op-
erations on their acreages back to
wage-earning condition.
The object of this association was
to organize and combine the farmers
of Missouri who were interested in
practical system of farm management.

wanted with a skirt of velvet or
satin or any other of the seasons
fashionable fabrics, one of these net
or lace waists is draped with bit OF
the material of the skirt. Sometimes
there is a drapery over the shoulders,
and sometimes it is in the form OF
the girdle. Often 1t is merely panel
at the back and front with chiffon
over it and a separate girdle of rib
bon.
The skirt is separate usually but
after the waist is adjusted and the
girdle pinned to place the dress seems
all in one.
Nothing was ever more useful to
the tourist than these simple blouses
of lace and net. They are so soft and
light that 1t is no trouble to carry
them. One needs pretty corset COW
ers of silk or lace under them, and
they are mere wisps of clothing weigh
ing nothing. With pretty lace waist,
a ribbon girdle and the fancy corset
cover, a plain skirt will answer and
still the wearer may feel dressed
up for dinner at the hotel or on the
steamer, or at home, wherever there
lie a call for a pretty demi toilette.

A waist like that shown is useful in
many ways. It is cut on the right

use them as a foundation on which
to build much more elaborate af-

about them is Sumptuous.
For lining, plain crepe de chine and

Flower Decorations for Muffs.

Flowers are extraordinarily popular
this season as decorative adjuncts for
the muff. Huge, vivid-toned chrysan-
themums and dahlias in velvet, lead
the way, and the splash Of color afford
ed by the tawny shades running
through all the gamut of riotous reds
and yellows appeals irresistibly to the
feminine mind.
Many opportunities for the display
of superb peltry are given this season
by the varied arrangements Of fur on
the winter suits. 1t seems as though
women were more than ever convinced
that fur makes the most fascinating
background for the complexion and
were determined to lose no chance OF
using it for decorative purposes on
every possible occasion.

Llnoerie Vanity Bac.

Every woman knows the dainty
squares Of linen or lawn with elab-

called glove handkerchiefs, but every
woman doesn't know that they may be
fashioned into the most sanitary or

chief is never more than five inches
square, it is easy to realize how very
tiny will be the bag that is formed
after a strip of lace beading has been
run circle-wise between the corners
and they have been drawn in with a
quarter yard length of narrow ribbon
which ties in the smallest Of bows.
