Mix while dry the Paris green and bran until an even color is attained. Then stir the syrup and water, mak- ing crumbiy, but not sloppy mash. Scatter this mixture thinly over the infested areas in the afternoon or early evening. The amount to he used will vary in accordance with the severeness of the attack, but ordinar- fly, twenty-five to forty pounds is sufficient to cover an acre.

USES FOR RAGS.

DEAR AUNT CLARE: The accumula- tion of dress goods, both new and old, should be disposed of twice year. Make little rolls of old linen and mus lin and put there in a convenient place to use for tying up cut fingers or for bandages and poultices. Old flannel is ed Pieces of dress goods should be saved for mending them. After that they should be kept with the quilt pieces. A separate box is needed for the woolen pieces, with plenty of moth balls scat tered among them to keep them from the ravages of moths. Roll up all the pieces of one kind, tying them securely, and if you wish to make the dress over, there will be no time lost in looking for them.
 You will doubtless find quantity of dresses, worn out underwear and many other garments that you cannot use in any way, and the time honored plan of making woven rugs of them cannot be improved upon. They are the most eco nonlieal floor covering that can be used, for they wear well and if one is care ful in mixing the cclors they are pretty A very good plan is to use the colored rags for the centers, sewing them hit or miss, and save the white rags for the stripes across the ends These may be dyed blue, green, red or any other color desired, with diamond dyes for cotton, ana ihe border arranged in any way yoh like. The chain may be of any color you select, but the weaver usually ad vises the use of white chain, as that seems to be stronger than the colors When the rags are torn they may be put in a box with cover to keep out the dust, and will be ready to sew whenever you have the time. Many housekeepers have spare moments which they delight to employ in this work.
 In estimating the amount of rags needed for rug, it is well to remember that one and one-half pounds of rags will make a square yard when woven. If you are making large rug, give the weaver the dimensions and he will weave it il one long strip; arranging the bor- der so that it will come in the right place when the widths are cut apart.

THE VALLEY OF SHADOWS.

he clutched at the sword-haft, and with a blow severed the vampires throat. Then, kneeling on his breast, he hacked till the head came off.
 Thorhall appeared now, his face blanched with terror, but when he saw how the fray had terminated he assisted Grettir gleefully to roll the corpse on the top of a pile of faggots, which had been collected for winter fuel. Fire was applied and soon far down the valley the flames of the pyre startled people, and made them wonder what new hor- TOT was being enacted in the upper DOT tion of the Vale of Shadows.
 Next day the charred bones were con veyed to a spot remote from the habita- tions of men, and were there buried.
 What Glamr had predicted came to pass. Never after did Grettir dare to be alone in the dark.

TACTFUL.

Little Charlotte accompanied her mother to the home of an acquaintance, where a dinner dance was being given. When the dessert-course was reached the little girl was brought down and given place next to her mother at the table.
 The hostess was woman much given to talking, and in relating some inter- esting incidents, quite forgot to give little Charlotte anything to eat.
 After some time had elapsed, Char lotte could bear it no longer. With the sobs rising in her throat, she held up her plate as high as she could and said.

TO PRESERVE BERRIES WHOLE.

Use the fruit when not too ripe; wash if absolutely necessary and let drain; put into preserving kettle layer of berries, then thick layer of sugar; continue with layer of Der ries and layer of sugar until the kettle is filled; let stand over night the sugar will toughen the fruit. Next morning boil until the fruit is tender and the syrup thick; put into cans and seal tight.

swEEr cI.ovER FACTS.


 Hardiness.-Will grow in almost any soil and climate. Will make crop where rainfall is light Will stand ex eessive moisture even doing well in seeped and alkalied conditions of soil. Makes a paying crop on thin or worn out soils and improves their fertility. Thrives on the heaviest clay or adobe and will grow in almost clear sand. Does not winter kill. Stands close pasturing. Will grow in soils and climate not adapated to alfalfa and will prepare the way for that crop.
 Pasture. Equals alfalfa. Comes ear Her in spring. Can be pastured aft CT the middle of the first season if planted in the spring. Seldom causes bloat in livestock. Furnishes very heavy pasture the second year. Pasture will be permanent as it reseeds itself.
 Hay.-For best results should be cut early and often. While biennial must be cut high to avoid killing. Yellow biennial can be cut close to the ground and makes an extra hay crop as it is of rapid early growth. It is fine of stem and branch with no waste from coarseness when thickly seeded Near ly equal to alfalfa in quality and quite equal in tonnage.
 Fertilizer-It has a large and deep root system that penetrates the hard est soil and dies every second year, leaving tons of well distributed humus per acre in the ground. Superior to alfalfa in this respect. Has property of gathering nitrogen from the air and leaving it in the soil for the bene- fit of future plant growth. Here It is again equal to alfalfa. Remember, this plant will thrive on thin and poor soils and build up by the above pro cesses and make them capable of producing other clovers, grains and grasses.
 It's Place-It has passed the expert mental stage in all the above partic- ulars and can be depended upon as a standard crop under the most trying conditions.
 Seeding-For pasture, hay or fer tilizing crop SOW 15 to IS pounds of hulled seed per acre; 10 to l2 pounds for seed crop. Drill or broadcast in fine, firm seedbed, with or without grain crop in April, May or June. Sue cessfully used to thicken up scanty or wornout pastures. For this purp ose use any method that will work the seed into the surface of the soil.

RED BLACKBERRY JELLY.

Use only the red, or alf-rfpe Der ries. Do not use full ripe berries. This is the important point.
 Wash; barely cover the berries with water. Cook until tender. Strain through jelly bag. Replace juice on fire and boil ten minutes, then add sugar which has been warmed while boiling juice. Skim. Boil until a drop will sink immediately in cold water without discoloring. Blackberry jelly made in the usual way is more of a thick syrup than jelly.
 Usino the red berries was an original idea. The result is very beautiful red jelly.

CANNING VEGETABLES IN TILT
 HOME.

BY J. F. BREAZEALE.
 One of the many problems that con front the American housewife is the sup pie of vegetables for her table during the winter months What can I have for dinner today91 is question often heard. A healthful diet, however, must include vegetables, and therefore the housewife turns to canned goods as the only alterna- tive These are sometimes poor substi- tutes for the fresh articles, especially the cheaper commercial grades, which neces- sarily lack the delicate flavor of the fresh vegetable. There is practically no dan- ger, however, from contamination with tin or other metals, providing the con tainers are made of proper material and handled carefully.
 Every housewife may run miniature canning factory in her own kitchen and on the farm this is especially eeonom' cal and desirable, the economy being less pronounced in the case of city dwellers, who must buy their fruits and vegetables. Enough vegetables annually go to waste from the average farm garden to supply the table during the entire winter. But usually the farmer s wife cans her to- matoes, preserves her fruits and leaves her most nutritious vegetables to decay in the field, under the impression that it is impossible to keep them. This is a great mistake. It is just as easy to keep corn or string beans as it is to keep tomatoes, if you know how.
 THE SCIENCE OF STERILIZATION.
 The great secret of canning or pre- serving lies in complete sterilization. The A.. L 1-..x, LII fruits and vegetables, are teeming with minute forms of life which we call bac- teria, or molds or germs. These germs are practically the sole cause of decom- position or rotting. The exclusion of air from canner articles, which was for merly supposed to be so important, is unnecessary, provided the air is sterile CT free from germs The exclusion of air is necessary only because in excluding it we exclude the germ. In other words, air which has been sterilized or freed from germs by heat or mechanical means can be passed continuously over canned articles without affecting them in the least. If glass bottle is filled with some vegetables which ordinarily spells very rapidly-for instance, string beans-and instead of a cork it is stoppered with a thick plug of raw cotton and heated until all germ life is destroyed, the beans will keep indefinitely. The air can readily pass in and out of the bottle through the plug of cotton, while the germs from the outside air cannot pass through, but are caught and held in it's meshes. This shows that the germs and their spores or seeds are the only causes of spoilage that we have to deal with in canning

CUT WORMS. By c. R. Jones.

E FREQUENT requests have been re ceived relative to injury caused by worms i'll alfalfa fields. These worms are the common cut worms which are more or jess prevalent every year.
 The brownish moth lays the eggs for this generation late in the summer or early fall on grasses. The young cut worms hatch and feed upon the adjacent vegetation With an abund- ance of food the small larvae attract very little attention, burrowing into the ground during the day, and feed ing only at night At the approach of winter the larvae, which are about half grown, burrow into the soil and hiber- nate, coming up again the next spring and feeding upon whatever vegetation is at hand Their depredations con tinue until the middle or latter part of May, when they become full grown and burrow into the soil about two inches. and there transform to pupae and adult About the middle or latter part of June, the moths emerge and cause no little annoyance by entering houses and fluttering around the lamps at night.
 Under ordinary conditions preven- tion is the best remedy. Flowing in the late fall or early spring, with ire quent Gisking or narrowing, will be eff fective. In areas where the worms are concentrated, an application of arsen- ical bait will prove effective. A good formula is as follows:

Egg .eating IS usually started by the hens finding a broken or soft-shelled egg and eating it. After that it is a great temptation for them when they see an egg to devour it on the spot. We have found that about the best remedy IS to fix some nest tran where the eg rolls down out of sight. This is easily done by using rather deep,

g HOME HINTS FOR
 Asar, FARM FOLKS

Canned Cherries: To each quart o1 stoned cherries allow one cup of sugar and little water for juice, the amount will depend upon the amount of juice frola the cherries; place the juice, sugar b )il until sugar is dissolved, add the cher res. boil ten minutes, seal.
 Preserved Cherries: They may be pre- pared as for strawberry preserve. If it $ not desired to place the fruit in the sun (sun preserve) it may be finished o1t on the stove by cooking slowly until the proper consistency.
 Currant Jelly: Stem and wash the ripe entrants, place in the preserving ket- tie with little water to start juice; mash the currants some as they cook to boil, then put in bag to drip over night. To each cup of juice add one of sugar Place juice over the stove and when It t-oils add sugar and boil steadily until 1t lels, which can be ascertained by ire ouently cooling bit in saucer. The entrants from which the juice was ob- tained may have water added for juice and then be cooked a few minutes and canned for making pies. Being very tart, the currants still retain good flavor and help out wonderfully when fruit is scarce Currants and raspberries may be used in the same manner, first extracting the juice for jelly, then can the residue for mak- ing pies.
 Seeded Blackberry Jam: Cook the blackberries in sufficient water to just stock them soft, then run them through sieve; take equal quantities of berries and sugar, boil gentle 15 or 20 minutes. The time of boiling jam varies on account of amount of juice contained in berries; it should be cooked to a proper consist ency to spread nicely. Raspberry jam may be made as for blackberry jam.

THE BERRY BUSH BEETLE.

In trimming raspberry and black berry bushes, look out for the gall beetle When the new wood near the ground seems to be swelling and the canes are split above and below, you may be sure that the beetle is coloniz- ing in your berry patch, and the soon CT you cut these out and burn them, the better chance you will have of saving the bushes.
 These bettles lay their eggs in a circle around the stock at the base of the stem, and after matching. the bee ties work their way up to the center of the stock and form an enlarged lump or swelling.

APPLE PESTS.

The plant louse on apple leaves is common in all apple growing re- gions. During the winter, especially on young trees, may be found numbers of black, shining oval eggs placed on roughened places in the bark, in erev ices or near the buds. When spring comes with it's warm sun, these eggs hatch and the young lice suck the juices from the tender buds and un- folding leaves, causing the leaves to curl. On young trees the growth of the twigs is often checked by these lice. If an emulsion of 10 per cent kerosene is used early in the spring these insects may be held in check.
 The borers are another class of in sects that are dreaded in the apple orchards. They may be dug out or killed by inserting wire in the bur row. but preventive methods are bet ter than the doubtful cure in this ease. By placing tarred paper, wire mosquito netting or even ordinary newspapers around the trunk of the tree from the ground to about Is inches or 20 inches up the trunk, much labor will be saved later on. This paper must be securely 1 fastened at the top and mounded up 1
 The apple worm or coddling moth is another common pest. It is the com mon flesh-eolored worm that is found in all so-called wormy, apples, and it needs no introduction to any of us It hides during the winter in crevices of the bark, under rubbish on the ground and emerges in May in time to l lay eggs on apples.
 The best remedy is to spray the trees l immediately after the blossoms fall with an arsenal poison such as paris green used week or ten days later.
 Another preventive measure is to wrap a strip of common gunnysack around the trees. This should be re. moved about every ten days and the worms in it should be destroyed. Hogs allowed to run in the orchard destroy many worms hidden in the fruit.
 Bitter root is another destructive disease which causes enormous losses in fruit. The whole fruit is affected with the disease and shrivels up into a hard. wrinkled mass, often hanging on the tree all winter. The disease lives through the winter in the dried ID fruit or in the infected spots on the limbs. It is carried by means of spores carried from the canker by in ec+s or splashing drops of rain.
 The disease begins in the form of a few brown specks, which scon become laroer end become circular and sunken dark colored spots. Pustules form all over the trunk about the affected DOT. ton, and these soon break and dis charge pinkish mass which later on turns gray
 This disease travels slowly, but sure lv from tree 10 tree and from orchard to orchard. Each affected apple should he destroyed as soon as discovered. The disease can he checked by repeated sprayings of Bordeaux mixture
 Grown call is another disease which is spreading rapidlv throughout this eenrtry. large tumor is produced usually near the crown of the tree or growing above the surface of the ground. gradually encircling the tree and killinc it. There is no known cure for this disease.
