TENT CATERPILLAR
DOES MUCH DAMAGE
Insect Was in Great Evidence
Last Year, and Promises More
Destruction This Summer.

The apple tree caterpillar which was
in great evidence last year is promis-
ing more destruction during the COM
ing season. Prof. NJ. A. Cobb of the
agricultural department of the Cen
trail Michigan Normal school finds that
there are millions Of egg masses fas-
tened on the limbs Of the fruit and
forest trees. These masses can be
gathered and destroyed at this season
Of the year, and it will do much to
reduce the number of the pests that
come out next season.
Last year many orchards were near
ly defoliated by the tent caterpillar
and large apple trees were found
which contained from two to fifteen
tents. The growers often burned them
out with torches before they had con-
sumed all the foliage on the tree, but
the difficult work in thickly infested
orchards and where the egg masses
can be destroyed. that is the surest
way of reducing the number Of the
troublesome pest.

DIVERSITY ON FARM

Opportunity Given for Crop Rota.
ton and for Maintenance of
Fertility of the Soil.

CBy ALvA BENTON, University Farm.
A st. Paul, Mimi
Farm records show, and good farm
ers agree in general, that diversified
farming is most profitable. Diversified
farming means raising live stock and
various kinds of crops. Diversified
farming gives opportunity for crop TO
tation, for distribution Of man and
horse labor, and for the maintenance
of soil fertility. All Of these are es-
sential to good farming. Crop rotation
aids in maintaining crop yields and
soil fertility; the distribution of labor
reduces the cost of operation; the
maintenance Of soil fertility is the ba-
sis of all successful agriculture.
Diversified farming is Of great i'm
portance because 1t gives the farmer
an opportunity to carry out all the best
farm practices.
Is your farming properly diversified,

Floor Plan of Bungalow.

the porch will also help to make It
more attractive in the summer time.
The little sun parlor forms mighty
useful addition to the porch and to
the living room. In cold weather 1t
will be used in place of the porch, and
in warm weather the windows can be
left open or removed. and It will then
really be part of the porch. Screens
can be substituted for the sash in the
summer time.
The floor plan shows an arrange
ment that is very popular with home
builders. The most important feature
and one that is being demanded
more and more-is shown in the size
of the living room. People want liv-
ing room that Is of good size, and one
OF the best ways Of accomplishing this
is to build a living room across the
front of the house. In this particular
case, In which the house is rs feet
wide, the living room is "a feet long.
It is made IL feet wide. which gives
the impression OF very attractive and
coy room. Since the fireplace is in
one end, the room appears to be even
longer than 1t is. A room of this size
and shape is very easily decorated and
furnished in a pleasing way. The
ceiling is beamed so that there win
be no lack of harmony between the
living room and the dining room, as
they are connected by cased open
ing. The idea of having plenty OF win

dows, as shown In the dining room.
is also carried out in the living room.
The remainder Of the rooms are also
arranged so as to furnish the maxi
mum amount of comfort and accessi-
bility. From the living room hall
extends back through the house,
from which every room can be
reached Such an arrangement takes
up very little space and more than
makes up for this in the convenience
and privacy that are afforded. On one
side of the hall are the dining room,
kitchen and serving pantry, and on the
other are two bedrooms and a bath
room. The stairs to the basement are
placed at the end of the hall, where
they will be readily reached from the
kitchen.
The trouble of getting the meals and
serving is cut down largely by the
pantry, that is placed between the
dining room and the kitchen. This
can be equipped with shelves and cup
boards in any way that is desired by
the home builder.
A large and roomy basement is pro
vided in this design. Sufficient head
room is provided so that a heating
plant can be readily installed. This
is an important feature in any house
that is built in northern cline. The
basement has an outside entrance that
makes 1t more useful and saves the
kitchen from great deal of dirt that
would otherwise be carried through 1t.
The entire arrangement of this de-
sign shows a well-balanced plan, in
which all parts of the house have re-
ceived the proper amount of attention.
The house is not designed around one
room, with the others fitting in wher-
ever they can. The convenience OF
the room arrangement shows that the
entire plan has been considered as
whole, and that each room has re-
ceived careful consideration.

Hawaiians living and farming in per.
feet harmony. intermarrying and rails
ing children.
Twenty-Five or thirty years ago the
older men of this strange colony came
from across the Pacific, some as sail
ors, some as stowaways.
They wandered in small groups
about California and some of them
came across the Sierras into Idaho
and Utah. They were starving when
group of business men decided to
help them.
They secured $1,000 acres of land
in the Skull valley, collected all the
South Sea natives that they could find
and established them in a colony
which they called 1oseppa.
An American farmer was selected
as superintendent. Each man was
paid good wages at the start. and as
soon as they were capable they were
allowed to buy half-acre lots and cot
tages at actual cost.
Now there is a new generation
growing up. Some of the boys have
gone from the grade school and taken
full courses at the State Agricultural
college. Several of the girls have
become stenographers in Salt Lake
City. A number have graduated from
the University OF Utah.

PREVENT RABBITS FROM INJURING TREES
A Good Rabbit Trap Which Explains Itself.
CBy d. C. MooRING.)

By ID. c. MOORING.)
Rabbits are very particular as to
what they eat, and feed only on vege-
table matter. They prefer the more
succu1ent kinds, such as vegetables,
clover, alfalfa and fallen fruit. When
none of these foods are available, they
often eat the bark of trees, especially
when snow covers other food.
1t is very easy to prevent rabbits
from injuring trees, and all cases OF
damage are due to neglect rather than
to lack of efficient remedies. Your
premises should not afford hiding
places for rabbits such as brush piles.
This is not meant to include green
cover crop in the orchard. An or
chard with a cover crop above the
snow is seldom II ever injured.
Traps are very effective in catching
rabbits. The more traps you have the
better. This Is not SO economical a
method as poisoning for protecting
the trees, but 1t furnishes amusement
for the children and also provides
meat for the table.
There are two general ways of poi
soning rabbits. % By placing poi.
soned water in their runs, especially
during dry weather. ca By placing
poisoned food where they can get 1T.
The following, which was originally
recommended by the Ohio station, has
given satisfaction: One part sulphate
Of strychnine, one-third part borax,
one part white soap, ten parts water.
Shake well and apply to tender twigs
with brush or by dipping and dis.
tribute the poisoned twigs around the
trees.
There have been number of washes
and paints Of various kinds recon.
mended as being effective against rab-
bits. The disadvantage Of these

sevloeable Tester for Seed Corn.

A shallow box filled with sand makes
a serviceable tester for corn. Near the
upper edge wires or threads are
stretched in both directions, forming
a number of squares. The box is filled
with moist sand up to the level Of
these wires or threads, and on this
sand the seed grains are laid, and COW
cred to keep from drying out. 1t is
covered with muslin, drawn tightly
and tackled, on which two-inch squares,
each one numbered, are marked with
an indelible pencil. A box 20x40 inches
would have 200 squares.
A plain, moistened cloth is placed

washes is that heavy rains wash them
off and make it necessary to repeat
the application. It is not difficult to
find or devise preparations which will
keep rabbits away. Rabbits are very
particular about their food, and any
faint on the tree will keep them from
injuring it. The following has been
recommended by the Oklahoma sta.
ton and found very satisfactory:
Water. one gallon; one pound Of soap;
two to four ounces of carbolic acid"
Some prefer to add enough vermilion
red to give the mixture good pink
color and the consistency of cream.
This is painted on the trunk Of the
trees with a brush or swab of rags
tied to q stick.
Another wash, which has given sat-
isfaction, is made by stacking one
peck of fresh stone lime with soap
suds. Thin to the consistency of
whitewash, add one-half gallon of
crude carbolic acid, four pounds sui
phur and one gallon of soft soap.
The United States department of ag-
riculture recommends the lime-sluphur
wash as giving satisfactory results.
This wash consists Of: Unslaked lime,
20 pounds; flowers Of sulphur, Is
pounds; water, so gallons. The lime,
sulphur and one-third of the water are
boiled together for one hour, and then
the rest of the water is added. BY add
ing salt the wash will stick better.
The Arkansas experiment station
has found that painting the trunks Of
the trees with white lead and linseed
oil gave very satisfactory results
Mixed paints should not be substituted
as they may contain oils which would
injure the trees. One advantage of
this mixture is that one application is
sufficient for the entire season.

five-foot extension on the side that
makes 1t possible to have large and
well-lighted dining room without much
additional cost. This extension is COW
cred by another gable.
This dining room shows the advisa-
bility of building room in an extern
sion when it is considered necessary
or desirable to have more light. A
very CHEEKY and bright room can be
secured by having windows on three
sides, as is done in this instance. The
beamed ceiling fits in well with the
lighting arrangement.
A heavy front porch adds distinc-
tive touch to nearly any house, and
especially IL the house Is built along

and low roof combine to give very

this case. Flower boxes placed around
