1t is an axiom of good cooking that
beef should be well hung before being

certain hird-quarter which was ex.

don recently have surely gone to rath-
er extreme lengths in this matter, for
they have kept it in cold storage for
IS years. When it was taken "off the
ice," so to speak, and looked at by ex-
perts armed with nothing more
formidable than magnifying glasses,
they unanimously reported that it was
still sweet and sound, and apparently
lacking but little in nutritive quail

Clever Deception.

Men who craned their necks and bus
tied against each other to get a look at
the girl on exhibition in one Of the

by women in the crowd. The futter-

that they were looking at a living

gazed at it for some time that they
discovered they had been fooled. BY

Flowers Bloom on lcebergs.

Arctic explorers often report the dis
covery Of flowers blooming on icebergs
The explanation Of this is as follows:
1t appears that some animals carry
On their feet growth Of moss, which
is deposited on the ice while it is at
tached to the mainland in polar re-
gions. Pn time this decays and forms
a shallow soil in which the seed of

Alfalfa Seed Field Ridges Lines Burned Over De-
stroy alternating Of the chacisFW

the regular seed fields are sufficiently
advanced for oviposition.
This cutting should be done with
the harvesting of each hay crop, be-
fore the seed crop is grown. p.
1t is sometimes necessary to have
two or more irrigation bitches run
ming parallel. making it impracticable
to cut the alfalfa between them. In
such cases it is economy to fence
the bitches and use this land as a
small summer pasture, thus prevent
ing the development Of alfalfa seed

Winter Cultivation.
In the process Of harvesting the
seed crop many pods containing In
tested seeds fall to the ground. Here
they remain until the following spring
when the alternating insects emerge,
although cultivation with an alfalfa
cultivator, at some time late IN the
fall or in early winter, will sufficiently
cover such pods and will prevent the

Destroying the Screenings.
After the alfalfa IS thrashed the
great mass of screenings which is left

seeds infested with hibernating larvae.
If the chaf, together with the screen
ings, is placed in a compost pile for
three or four months, so that It will
Secome heated and decay, most of the
insect life will be destroyed. Unless
it is possible to treat the screenings
IL this manner they should be burned
before the growing season opens in
the spring.
Many of the alfalfa seed pods
along check ridges and fence lines
nay be destroyed by burning off the
weeds and alfalfa This should be
done either in the fall or early spring.
In purchasing alfalfa seed, farmers
should insist upon having seed which
has been well cleaned after thrash

cleared product in new fields.

Harvesting Infested Crops.
An alfalfa field is frequently found
with such a severe infeStation by
chalcis-fies that the grower considers
it of insufficient value to be harvested
and simply drives in herd Of COWS
to pasture the crop. With regard to
the control of the chalcis-fy for the
protection of future seed production,
this is a costly mistake. Obervations
show that many Of the pods burst
open, while others are tranpled to
the ground. Here great numbers OF
infested seeds offer favorable condi-
tions for the Information CT the chal-
cis-fy larvae. These, as mature dies,

the crop should be moved, removed
from the field. and staked. 1t may
then be used as rough fodder; and
If the remaining straw is burned in
early spring the alternating larvae
will be destroyed.
Cleaning Fence Lines and Ditch Banks.
The following facts emphasize the
importance Of cutting the alfalfa along
ditch banks and fence lines, as we'll
as in the fields:
l. The earliest seed pods are found
to develop on the isolated and vigor-
Gus growing plants found in such
places
2. The earliest pods have an espec-

The alfalfa-seed destroyer, known as
the chalcis-fy, does its destructive
work in clover or alfalfa seeds, from
the Gulf coast to the northern limits
Of the United States, according to the
United States department of agricul-
ture's specialist who has personally
seen the widespread devastation Of
this pest. BY harvesting severely in
tested crops, by cleaning fence lines
and ditch banks, and by winter culti-
vation the grower of alfalfa seed may
help to control this insect. A new
Farmers Bulletin, (No. $3.50 entitled
The Chalcis-Fly in Alfalfa Seed"
gives the details Of these methods
Of control, and may be had free Of
charge on application to the depart
ment.-
The chalcis-fy under the microscope
IS e formidable-looking insect but
when seen in the field it is frequently
confused with the gnat. These pests
may be seen in great numbers flying
over .alfalfa-seed shocks and swarm
ing over the sickle bar when the al
falfa IS being cut The eggs are so
small as to be invisible to the naked
eye and are deposited through the
soft, green seed pods directly into
the soft seeds when the pods are about
half.grown. Immediately upon becom-
ing a dy, the insect eats its way out
through the shells Of the infested
seeds, then through the green pods.
Large portions OF the seeds are hol-
lowed out in this manner, when they
are still green and growing.
The infected seeds which still con-
tain the living larvae Of the insect
may be recognized by their abnormal
shape and usually by the dull brown
color. Some Of the infested seeds,
however, retain their natural color,
but they always lack the glossy ap-
pearance Of normal seeds. The ex-
tent to which alfalfa seed is damaged
by the fly is not generally apparent.
owing to the minuteness Of the insect
and because its destructive work is
accomplished within the growing
seeds. The alfalfa-seed grower can
only estimate the percentage Of his
