Bar Harbor. Me, is fearfully and wonderfully protected. In Spanish war times it's residents protested against the danger and the humorous war department sent them four anti quated muzzleloading cannon, relics of the Civil war The much-relieved summer folk took the cannon to their hearts with all sincerity. however. and posted them at excellent points of vantage. where they may still be seen and smiled at.
 Water that issues from an artesian we'll in California is accompanied by enough natural gas to supply power to pump it considerable distance.
 The 100000 Chinese in Indo-China constitute an important element. Nearly all are in business, and they control the trade in rice and fish products-the two leading industries of Indo China-as we'll as the cinna- mon trade of Annam and many other important branches of industry. The chief center of Chinese population of Indo-China is Cholon, the rice-milling suburb of Saigon and the most popu- lo1s city of Indo-China.

it's rich beauty will act as a charming foil
 It is doubtful if there Is any other one thing in the culture of house plants so little understood as the proper application of moisture.
 Generally. the best way to determine when plant needs water is to take a pinch of the soil and rub it betweeH the thumb and first finger. If d41v enough to become powdery. water should be applied; but if it is still so damp as to hold between pie fingers, no more water will be .Heeded for a time. Lilies, of coursa, are an excep. ton to this rule. and in fact, almost all kinds of bulbs}

 All their nourishment, therefore. mus
 be obtained from decaying animal oi vegetable remains or from living an imals or plants. Those fungi which derive their nourishment from living plants in so doing injure them ir various ways, nd thus give rise tc what are known as fungus diseases
 Generally speaking. in combating fungous diseases. methods of proven tion only are practicable. as once g fungus is within plant nothing can be done to destroy 1t Care should be taken to keep the crops in a healthy growing condition and free from injury by insects Unthrifty plants and those attacked by insects are more liable to fungous diseases than healthy ones Rotation of crops should be praetieed so that the winter spores left in the soil may not infest next seasons crop. Weeds should be fungi Diseased crop refuse should be burnt and not thrown on the manure heap Fresh manure should be avoid ed as it frequently contains living spores of parasitic fungi. Intelligent and thorough spraying with bordeaux or other fungieides will do much to prevent the spread of fungous diseases

FEEDING COTTONsEED CAKE
ancine Corn Raton-Frequently Used for Fattenine.
tRy cHARLEs I. RRAY. colorado Agri.

tBy CHARLES I. BRAY. Colorado Agri.
 cultural College, Fort Collins, CeloA
 Cottonseed cake is one of the best feeds available for balancing a corn ration or for supplementing such feeds as native hay corn silage. corn fod., der. cane hay or Sudan grass hay. It is used frequently in wintering cattle en the range. also for fattening cattle on grass E1n summer. Being a rich feed ant comparatively expensive. it lssr= Ted in relatively small amounts, ranging from one to three pounds a head per day Cottonseed meal or cake fed heavily for long periods may be productive of serious trouble among cattle. causing blindness and loss of muscular control. By heavy feeding. we mean six pounds or more day. amounts which no modern feed CT is likely to give. Fed at rate Of three pounds a day or less, there is no likelihood of trouble. If cattle need more grain feed than this amount. 1t is advisable to use such feeds as barley or kafir. that are ot more fattening nature.
 When alfalfa is available, there is not so much need for cottonseed cake, as the alfalfa supplies practically the same nutrients. Five parts corn or or meal makes very good grain mix. ture to go with alfalfa hay and corn silage.

OIL TESTS FOR STlCKINESS
Laboratory Maintained by State oi California to Test All Materials
 Used in Road Making.

At Sacramento. Cal. the highway commission has a laboratory in which all materials entering into road con struction are tested. The asphaltie oils used as a protective coat for concrete are tested for stickiness by simple apparatus called the Osborne adhe. sive machine This consists of fixed cylinder two inches in diameter and kept at 77 degrees Fahrenheit by a flow Of water, and collar of metal that fits over it The oil is applied between the two. like lubseating oil A cord Is wrapped around the collar and three-kilogram weight is at tached to the end of the cord The downward pull of the weight makes the collar revolve. and the time in sec. onds required for these revolutions is the measurement of the adhesiveness of the oil.
 The Engineering Record says the oils vary in stickness from 1S0 to 1.700 seconds. The stickier the oil the bet ter. A minimum of 300 seconds is re- ouired of the oil to be used on the Cali fornia highways. What this means may be gathered from the statement that the balsam coating on ordinary sticky fiy-paper has an adhesive test of about 250 seconds.

roots and leaves, should be got rid of by burning or burying in order to leave no shelter for wintering insects and no diseased material for the spread of fungous diseases. This is work that must be done i'll the fall and 1t cannot be neglected or the farmer will pay dearly for his negii- genee.
 Weeds of all ddescriptions. especially In fence eorhers and waste places. should be.-cut down before going to seed, or plowed under from time to eihaa; they harbor many of our worst p2sts in summer and winter, and often fafford convenient breeding places for enemies which the vegetable grower is endeayoring to combat on his cul- tivated plants.
 There are number of kinds of insects that are general feeders. not limiting themselves to any particular variety of plant but attacking almost everything that comes in their way. On this account they are the most serious insect foes that we have to GoAltHa dBdlIlSt dllu III the most difficult to keep under con. trol. Among these are the aphids fplant liee1, cutworms. grasshoppers, white grubs. wire worms. flea beetles, and others. Of these we will describe only the flea beetles.
 There are several species of these minute insects which attack a large variety of plants; some confine their attentions to one or two kinds. while others are general feeders. The beetles are about one-tenth of an inch in length, oval and convex in form. usually shiny black or bronzed in col or, sometimes ornamented with broad. pale stripes along the back: they all possess enormously developed thighs on the hind legs, by means of which they are enabled to jump with great agility and hence have acquired the name of flea beetles. They appear in the spring, often in large numbers, and eat small holes in the foliage of young plants, preferably the thick seed leaves. The larvae, feed for the most part on the roots of weeds. as well as some garden vegetables. Clean

WINTER GRAZING FOR SWINE
Rye Affords Excellent Crop for Hogs Home. Grown Seed Is Reeom-
 meuded for Louisiana.

By w. R. DoDSON, Director of Experi-
 ment Station. Louisiana State Univer-
 sitv.)
 Rye affords good winter grazing for hogs, and may be sown from late September to early December. South ern-grown seed must be used If northern seeds are sown the leaves will make flat growth on the ground during the early winter and afford little grazing. The southern grown half bushel per acre should be sown, either broadcast or in drills. Some prefer broadcast sowing with all grains designed for winter pasture No definite experiments have been made along this line in Louisiana. Oats, rye nd barley sown with drill seem te withstand cold weather better than that sown broadcast, but broadcast sowing seems to give more complete covering of soil in early winter.
 Rye natures about week or ten days in advance of oats. other con. ditions being equal. On the ex- pertinent station grounds we prefer oats to rye for winter pasture, but there may be some conditions under which rye would be preferred
 If one cannot secure home grown seed, Georgia seed are to be preferred It is very important that southern grown seed be secured

cure for purifying the alimentary ca nal, this led to the study of butter milk, which was for long time not at all appreciated.
 Buttermilk cheese is now a favor ite dish in many of our college towns, where cafeteria is profitable This cheese is richer and finer grained than ordinary cottage cheese and once eat en is never thereafter refused.
 RDttera7iik cheese.-This is the r4ethod used in Wisconsin experiment station for making the cheese: Heat the buttermilk slowly to 130 or 40 de- grees F., stirring all the time. This may be done in a double boiler. After heating, the curd settles to the bot tom of the boiler and most of the whey may be poured off The remain der of the whey is removed by drain ing through a cheesec1oth. doubled in several layers Season with salt and pepper or with salt and caraway seed. When mixed with a little soft ened butter, about fourth in weight, and spread on sandwiches, 1t is called sandwich cheese.
 Buttermilk cream.-This is very similar to the cheese, but is treated to a lower temperature in heating. A hundred degrees F is the required temperature, stirring constantly until the eurd separates Drain through a cheese cloth until the curd is like 1 thick cream; season and serve as sandwich filling or as dressing, with vinegar for salads, used in the place of the German cream dressing. Pineapple Lacto.-Beat the yolks and whites of two eggs separately add two or three cupfuls of sugar mixed with two quarts of sour skim milk and If cupfu1s of pineapple When partly frozen add the juice oi two lemons. In place of the pineapple half cupful of cherry juice may be used. CT the juice of five oranges. oi a eupful of strawberry juice, or hall eupful of raspberry juice. thus mak ing any fruit laeto.

carefully looked over, and after cook ing put into glass or stoneware to mold If one cares to have them strained they may be put through a sieve as soon as they are cooked, then mold in any desired form. For the sherbet take four cupfuls of stewed cranberry juice, add the strained juice of six oranges and four cupfuls of sugar: freeze until mushy, then add the whites of four eggs beaten stiff, and finish freezing.
 Cranberry Frappe.-Boil a quart of cranberries and two cupfuls of water for ten minutes. Strain through a and boil until tho sugar is thor oughly dissolved. Add the strained juice of two lemons and if it seems too tart add more sugar. Freeze to a mush and serve in sherbet cups with roast turkey.
 Cranberry Pudding.-Put quart of berries on the fire to stew with suffi- cient water, drop small spoonfuls of batter over the berries, when they be- gin to boil cover and steam for 20 minutes. Serve with sugar and cream. Make the batter by using cupful of flour, half teaspoonful of salt, a beaten egg and half cupful of milk. Drop by teaspoonfuls on the boiling berries.
 Cranberry Conserve.-Pick over five pounds of berries and chop them rath- CT coarse. Add two pounds of raisins put through the meat chopper, the rind of four oranges which has been cooked until tender and then chopped, add the juice of five oranges and ten cupfuls of sugar. Cook until like jam. This makes an excellent relish for meat.
 Cranberry pie needs no recommen- dation for it is universally liked. ] Make with strips of pastry forming lattice work over the pie, instead of a solid crust.
