Secret of French Fryinu,

The secret of successful French fry.
ing is to have the lard so deep that il
entirely covers what you wish to fry
and so hot that it will instantly form a
crust over the entire surface of the ar
ticle that is immersed in it. If further
cooking is necessary the heat should
Immediately be reduced.
The best frying is done by plunging
the article entirely in boiling fat. All
too often French fried potatoes are
merely slices softened in grease. Boil
ing grease does not enter articles
plunged into it, but forms crust on
the surface which keeps out the fat. A
well fried article, prepared in the
French manner. will hardly soil the
napkin on which it is laid. Either lard
or drippings may be used for this pur
pose. Test the heat with a bit of bread

minute the heat is right

FACTS ABOUT INSECTS
Farmer Should Learn History Of
Different Pests.
Necessary to Know Something Of Hab.

(By z. p. METCALF.)

(By z. p. METCALF.)
In order that the farmer may suc
cessfully combat the different insects
which injure his crops, it is necessary
to know something regarding insects
in general, their life-histories, habits,
enemies, and the remedies that may
be used against them successfully.
Briefly, insects may be divided into
two classes. One develops from the
egg to the adult without any resting
stage. Insects belonging to this class
are said to have an incomplete change
Of form. The other class has resting
stage in it's life-history, and insects
belonging to this class are said to have
complete change of form. In in
complete change of form there are
three stages in the life cycle of the
insects. First, the egg, which is laid
by the adult and from which an active,
usually rapid-growing "nymph" is
Matched This 'nymph" is wingless,
and from it, without any intermediate
resting stage, the winged adults de-

PRUNING SHEARS.
How to Use Them In Orchard Pruning
of Trees.

Double cutter shears used in orchard
pruning give good satisfaction when
used upon limbs smaller than three
inches in diameter. When care is taken
to cut through the bark all around the
branches to be removed the wounds
heal ever much better than when the
growing layer of bark and young wood
are crushed by being squeezed from Op-
posite sides without being cut all
around first. One caution is necessary
in using this implement:
When making cuts of forking limbs it
is necessary to avoid bearing down. be-
cause the main branch to be left is
likely to split, and heavy load of
fruit the following summer is almost
sure to break the limb ut this point
Effort should always be made to lift
when making such cuts. Indeed. it is
good plan always to cut off the
branch "A foot or so beyond the point
where the crotch is and then to re-
move the stub with second cut

velop. Grasshoppers may be taken
as an illustration of insects of this
class. The wingless young are famil-
lar objects to everyone. 1t is this
stage of insects with incomplete
change of form that are known as
"nymphs."
Insects belonging to the second class
have four stages in their life-history.
Eggs laid by the adults develop into
larvae, or worms, as they are common
ly known. Hornworms may be taken
as an example of this stage in the de-
velopment of insects of this class. The
larvae is the active growing period,
and is followed by resting period
which is known, technically, as the
"pupa" or "chrysalis." From this pupa,
after a length Of time, the adult
energies.
1t is necessary for the farmer to
know the details, the life-history, Of
the insect he is trying to conquer in
order that he may fight it intelligently.
Many insects are practically uncon-
trollable except for a very brief
period or short stage in their life
history.
Take, for instance, the grasshopper.
OF all the insect pests which are
found in some sections of the West,
this is the most destructive, for there
it Injuries the most important indus
tries-agriculture and stock-raising-
by invading the alfalfa fields.
They usually do the greatest dam
age to the second crop of alfalfa, for,
though they hatch in spring from eggs
laid the previous autumn, the young
hoppers do very little apparent injury
to the first crop. AS soon as it is
cut, however, they are deprived of
their abundant supply Of green food.
The few leaves remaining are quickly
destroyed, and with them every open
ing bud and newly formed leaf. The
second crop cannot make a start for
the new growth is eaten as fast as it
appears. The injured fields sometimes
look as bare and brown in midsummer

Why the Sunflower Is an All Around
Valuable Plant.

The pith of sunfiower stalks is by far
the lightest vegetable substance. Dried
suntlower pith. in fact, is ten times
lighter than cork, while the pith of the
elder tree is three tines as light as
cork. The sunflower is cultivated to a
great extent in central Russia, where
every part of the plant is put to some
use. The pith in particular is carefully
removed from the stalk and used in
making life saving appliances. A sufii-
cient quantity can be carried on a per-
son to keep him afloat, and it is so light
he will never notice its weight.

Mr.. G. e. E. USHER is the passen-
ger traffic manager of the Canadian
Pacific railway, the longest railroad
in the world. He could not help be,
ing loaded with experience, for his
activities extend across the continent
and over two oceans.
The otner day I asked him to say
a few words before one of my bust
ness classes. He made the shortest
speech of the year-just sixty words
and every one of them weighed ton.
He said
Young ladies are popularity sup
posed to be concerned chiefly with
the words Yes and No. but, judy
ing by my forty years experience,
you, who will be stenographers, are
chiefly concerned with Che word Not
If it be omitted, and the stenographer
makes one say am willing, when he
really said 4 am not willing great
trouble results"
because a telegraph operator wired
a stock broker to buy, when the mes
sage read not to buy.
Even more millions of dollars have
been sidetracked because some stenog-
rapher wrote 81 WILL" instead of 81
will not" and her employer signed
the letter without reading it-care-
less of him, of course-with re-
sultant tremendous loss.
The moral world, as we'll as the
business world, swings on Eyes" and
NO" 81 will" and II will not"
Saying Eyes" at the right time may
stand for success, and saying mo"
at the wrong time may encourage fail
ure.
II will do it, may be the phrase
which carries you into prominence,
and II will not do it" may save your
money and your reputation.
If you are stenographer, learn the
use of yes" and mo-" 81 will" and
81 will not and never write them
into a letter, or repeat them, unless
you are sure that you understood
your employer Alright; and then, If
you are certain that you did, but have
a suspicion that what he said was not
what he meant, be careful.
The clerks who rise from the ranks
are those who do not follow direc-
lions blindly. They understand the
why, and when they write out what is
told them, or speak the words which
they have been ordered to deliver,
they have back of them the certainty
that they are following directions. and
the further guaranty, due to their
judgment, that what their employer
said he meant to say.
First Of all be accurate In taking
shorthand notes, use the utmost care.
In delivering messages, use the ut
most care. In carrying out the most
important orders, in carrying out the
least important ORDERS use the utmost
care. And with that care, employ
your brains.
Think If note, if a message, If
an order, seems strange to you, think
1t over quietly. If it still seems
strange after you have given it
thought, if you can see no reason
for it, go to the one who is RESPONSE
BILE for it and learn the why, or at
least be assured that you have made
no mistake. No man wants an en-
ployee who does not think, nor does
he want one who will follow orders
blindly. He is not infallible. Some
day he may make a mistake, and he
will then ppreciate-perhaps substan-
tially-the CLERK who thinks, and
shows that he thinks.
