This insect lives during the winter
months in creVices in the cribs, barns
and other adjacent buildings. Very
few of them will spend the winter in

The eggs are deposited in the build

warm in the spring. The first genera

fields located near the farm buildings
are the first to become infested, as
large numbers of adult weevils emf

SETTING THE RIVER ON FIRE.

In England many, many years ago
before the millers had the wonderful
machinery they have now for sitting
-four, each family was Obliged to sift
its own flour before it could bake
bread. A sieve was necessary, and the
sieve they used was called tense
This tense was 80 fixed at the top of a
barrel that it could be turned round
and round.
Now you all know that IL you turn
anything around very fast the thing
will get very hot, and when the tense
was used very hard the friction would
sometimes cause it to catch fire.
The smart, or the Woodworking, boys
who sifted flour could make it go SO
fast that people got into the way of
pointing out lazy boy and saying:
HE will never set the tense on fire"
BY and by when machinery took the
place of the boys who turned the
sieves, there were still plenty of stupid
boys left in the world, and good folk
kept on saying that they would never
set the tense on fire.
You might rightly say: II thought
the expression was Setting the river
on fire."
The river Thames is pronounced ex.
actly like the word TENSE" and so
after many years, the persons who had
never seen or heard of the old-fashion-
ed sieve, called tense, thought that
setting the tense on fire" meant set
ting the river Thames on fire.
This expression was not confined to
England, as it Travelled far and wide,
and very soon people living near other
waters began to apply it to lazy boys
by changing the word Thames" to
the word River"
Now when they want to tell that a
boy is stupid they say: "He will never
set the river on fire."

DUAL CITIZENSHIP.
christian Science Monitor

There is nothing that involves phil
osophical abstraction in the PROPOSE
ton that no man should seek hospi-
tally in order to betray those who ex-
tend it. Disingenuousness, sophistry,
subtle duplicity cannot excuse the in
dividual or the system that will at
tempt, upon the plea of patriotism or
any other ground, to uphold such a
proposition. The time has come in the
United States, to our view, when it
should be firmly impressed upon all
Immigrant residents, and upon all ma
tives who cling to the hyphen, that
their very presence in the country de-
MES them the right of violating it's
laws in any circumstances or for any
purpose.
Tens of thousands of foreign-born
persons in the United States today are
being misled by fine-spun theories re-
garding the point at which their duty
to the United States leaves off and
their duty to their native country be-
gins. They are being taught that if by
some underhand evasion or violation
of the neutrality law they can serve
the governments still claiming them as
subjects or citizens, they have per-
feet right to do so, regardless of what
ever embarrassment it may cause the
government under which they are liv-
ling and at whose hands they seek pro-
lection, advancement, and prosperity.
Such teaching, 1t is hardly necessary
to say, is wholly mischievous; it needs
Ito be counteracted by all the moral
force loyal citizenship can bring to
bear upon it. No countenance should
be given by right thinking men, wheth-
er they be native or foreign born, to so
|pernicious and dangerous a view as
that the American workman, of what
ever race, country, creed, or color, owes
his first allegiance to any other nation.
The United States cannot afford to
tolerate the existence of two brands of
citizenship. Loyalty is neither condi-
tional nor provisional. The only varia-
ton from it is disloyalty. The final
expression Of disloyalty is secret or
open treason, and treason should be
rooted out, in theory as In practice

THE CARE OF CREAM.

Cream and milk, as human food,
are valued largely according to their
degree of cleanliness and palatability.
Just as soon as cream or milk becomes
abnormal in flavor or odor, it loses
part of its commercial value. This
deterioration Is caused by small living
plants or cells, called germs, many of
which are absolutely harmless in every
respect so far as the human body is
concerned, but, when allowed to de-
velop in cream, may cause bad doors
and flavors. Hence the Importance
of using such methods that will cause
as little germ life to develop in the
cream as possible.
Most germ life grows best at body

corn for the weevils to feed upon, leav.
ing the other almost free. The tight
shuck is essential and can be secured
by field selection.
Carbon bisulphide is the material to
use in combating the weevil. The gas
formed is heavier than air, hence it
will go to every part of the corn. The
crib must be alright when it is used,
to secure the best results. The amount
to use is from twenty to twenty-five
pounds per 1000 cubic feet of space,
whether the crib is filled with corn or
not. Warm weather is the best time
to use 1t as the weevil becomes inactive
when the temperature is as low as
60 degrees.-A. F. Kidder, Louisiana
State University.

PICKING OUT A LEGISLATOR.
(Homer Guardian Journal.)

(Homer Guardian Journal)
There are many who go there who
are disappointed in themselves, to find
out how little they can accomplish at
best. But still there is much depend
ing on the general assembly and ii
matters not whom you may elect gov
ernor, unless he is backed up with the
right kind of assembly, he is powerless
to accomplish anything worth while.
And much will be expected Of the ap-
preaching administration. A new sys-
TEN of assessments and taxation will
be proposed, and by all means send
representatives that will stand for in
tegrity and for economy in the public
service.

temperature, although many kinds OF
germs thrive at temperature 70 F.
Furthermore, as rule those germs
that grow at medium temperature not
only do not develop as rapidly but
usually are not so injurious. The lower
the temperature, the fewer germs that
will develop during a given time.
BY increasing the amount of fat in
! the cream. the amount of water Is
reduced, which also increases the keep
ling power of the cream.
Summed UP in brief the important
points to remember are:
/. Clean cows and mixers.
2. Clean utensils.
3. Separate Immediately after milk.
fng.
4. Cool the cream by placing it in a
tub or barrel of water, or, if con-
venient, an ice box.
5. Stir the cream at least every 6
or hours.
6. Do not mix fresh and old cream.
T. Always keep the cream in clean,
well-ventilated room free from odors
of any kind.
8. Market the cream as often as Is
convenient in order to have it reach the
market in good condition.. M. Cad

EXPLANATION OF CORN
SCORE-CARD.

l. Uniformity of exhibit means that
the ears must be similar in shape, size,
and general appearance If the ears
have the same characters they are
given a perfect score, whether these
characters are good or bad The value
of the characters is scored in other
headings.
2, Shape of ear. The shape should
be that which characterizes the variety.
In general, the shape should be almost
cylindrical, slightly tapering at the tip;
rows should be straight.
8. Length of ear. Measure the
length of ear from the extreme tip to
the extreme butt The excess and
deficiency variations from the stand
ards are added and for every inch thus
obtained cut of one point is made.
A. Circumference of ear is measured
one-third of the distance from the butt
to the tip. The excess and deficiency
variations from the standards are add
ed, and for every inch thus obtained a
cut of one-half point is made.
5. Tips of ears. The kernels should
extend completely over the end of the
cob and be of the same size, shape
indentation, and depth as in the center
of the ear.
6. Butts of ears. This part should
be well rounded and oval, with medium
size shank scar. Rows of kernels
should be straight at time of vanishing.
7. Kernel uniformity. Remove two
kernels from near the center of each
ear and lay germ side up with the chit
end toward you To be perfect the
kernels should be similar in every
respect. Grading here, as in uniformity
of exhibit, ought not to be too severe.
However. grains having an entirely
different type from the prevailing ones
should be scored one-half point off.
8. Kernel shape. All kernels of corn
should be wedge shape, with square
edges, SO as to have no lost space on
the cob. Those from flint varieties
will be more or less rounded on the top.
9. Color on grain and cob. An ear
having cob whose color does not con,
form to the variety color is not de-
sirable and half point is deducted for
each one off color An ear having three
grains off color is scored one-fourth of
"a point short, and when six or more
colored grains are present to the ear a
full cut of one-half point is made.
White corn should have a white cob,
and yellow corn a FED one.
10. Space between rows. The rows
should have very little space between
them. For denied varieties all ears
having space or burrows of more than
one-sixteenth of an inch between rows
should be graded off their full value of
five points. Greater width is allowed
for the flint type because of the round
ed top of kernel.
II. Space between kernels at cob.
All kernels should be close together in
the rows, as any vacancy here means
lost space, thereby lowering the per-
centage of corn to the ear Scoring or
this point should be severe.
IL. Vitality or seed condition. Any
evidence of moldiness, or condition
that would reduce the market price, or
would impair the germinatiye qualities,
is scored severely.
Is. Trueness to type. The corn
must conform to the variety type.
a. Proportion of shelled corn to
ear The percentage of grain is de-
termined by dividing the weight of the
shelled corn by the weight of the ear.
