Your Moneys Worth.

If you want to get your moneys
worth when using the oven of the
gas range, plan combination of ar
ticles to cook at one time. When you
wish to roast a small piece of meat
(four or five pounds), you have room
for at least two other dishes and
shelf space for baking potatoes around
the small roasting pan. Dried fruit
already soaked is delicious baked
The combination when baking might
be roast meat, potatoes, bread, dried
prunes or apricots, or baked apple OF

scale in the form of minute and
extremely delicate two-winged, fly
like insect.
1t takes the female about thirty
days to develop fully. From thirty
three to forty days from birth she
gives birth to new generation.
Each female is supposeds to produce
200 male and 200 female young; this
being so, and counting -four genera
tions in season, there3 will be pro-
duced, according to Dr. l.. o. Howard,
3,216,080,40 male and female scales
from one progenitor ina year Thus
it is easy to under stand why aAslight
infestation, if untreatedt soon becomes
bad. If the scale are allowed to in
crease unmolested they will kill a
young bearing peach tree in about
three years, and an apple tree in
about four or five years. Consequent
ly, when San Jose scale' are first dis
covered in an orchard immediate
preparations should be made for ap-
plying a remedy, the most fsatisfac-
tory of which is the tboiled elime-sul-

CBy G. NJ. BENTLEY

Paramount of all the insects caus-
ing loss to the horticulturistS ana
nurserymen is small scale insect no
larger, when mature, than the head OF
a common pin. This insect is the San
Jose scale pronounced San Ho-zay),
Aspidiotus perniciosus. No insect
pest has received more attention ana
has had more written concerning II.
Nearly every experiment station in
the land has published one or more
bulletins as to it's life history and
ravages, and remedies for its control
Newspapers, journals and maya
zines have issued volumes calling the
attention of fruit growers to the eff
fects of this scale pest and encour-
aging legislation for its control.
Those who have needed this admOni-
ton of the entomologists and fol-
lowed their recommendations have
satisfied themselves that in spite or
the enormous damage done by this
scale, there are methods which, ii
properly pursued, will reduce injury
to the minimum The careless, un-
needing grower who has scale-infested
stock and has done nothing by way of
controlling the pest suffers heavy
losses and eventually is compelled to
go out of business (be he horticul-
turist or nurseryman) or is advised
to start anew.
Perhaps the worst feature of an at
tack of San Jose scale is the difficulty
of recognizing the insect, due to its
size and color; it is about 1-16 Of an
inch in diameter when mature, and
in color it resembles the bark of tree
or plant infested. If there Is a very
bad infestation an ashy-gray appear
ance is noticeable; again one may de-
termine the presence Sf scale by
crushing many of them, when an oily
appearance is noticed
If female scale be carefully
turned over with knife or a pin,
there will be found underneath a fiat
yelloWish insect, looking very much
like small piece of rich butter. 1t
has no legs no wings, no eyes, no
antennae (feelers), nor a distinct

SPICED HAM TO SERVE COLD
Especially Good for Luncheons, Teas,
or Suppers During the Hot
Months of Summer.

A recipe used in a southern family
for many years is as follows: Select
a ham weighing from 7 to pounds,
and soak in cold water from IL to "a
hours. The butcher will probably be
the best judge as to the length OF time,
because some hams are made mucn
saltier in the curing than others. He
will know by experience in buying
from different curers. When ready to
cook scrape the outside, scrub with a
clean brush and rinse. There must be
nothing left upon the meat, the odor
of which must be absorbed in cooking
Put into a ham boiler or large ket
over the fire.
When it begins to boil add II cloves,
one bay leaf, II pepper corns, two
blades Of mace, one carrot, one tur-
nip and one quart of cider. Take OH
the scum as it arises, and when the
pot bOils push it back where it will
only simmer. Otherwise the ham will
be hard instead of being juicy and
tender. About 25 minutes to the pound
should be allowed When cooked let
the ham remain in the water until
lukeWarm, and in the meantime pre-
pare mixture of one cup Of rolled
bread crumbs, teaspoOnful of dry
mustard, two teaspoonfuls of brown
sugar, one beaten egg, and enough
cider to make a paste. Remove the
skin from the ham and spread with
the mixture. Dot with cloves and
bake in the oven until a rich brown.
This is delicious cold for luncheons,
teas or suppers.
If served hot a sauce accompanies
it, made as follows:
Put in a small saucepan a level tea
spoonful each of flour and butter.
When it is melted add a cupful of the
stock the ham was boiled in. Cook
this for 10 minutes; then pour in
cupful of cider Stir we'll, bring to a
boil, strain, and serve.

fuse together, making, with the cast
skins, an entire covering over the in
sect. All young San Jose scale look
alike in size, color and shape until
the first molt, about twelve days after
birth, but from then on there is a
very great difference. The male
scale, which Is smaller, is now elon-

lar, or nearly so, both sexes losing
legs and antennae, and the female her
