ALWAYS A STAPLE PUDDING
Good Reasons Why Rice Cooked With
Milk Has Remained a Favorite
So Many Years.

There Is perhaps no other pudding
Of equally great food value which Is
so inexpensive and palatable as the
eggless rice pudding, or creamy rice
pudding, as it Is often called. 1t Is
but one of the several excellent ways
of cooking rice with milk, but it does
lend itself better to changes Of flavor
than any Of the other ways, 80 may
be used frequently without monotony.
Baked in individual dishes with rath
er gentle heat, and for at least an
hour and half, with several STRINGS
in Of the crust which forms on the top,
creamy rice pudding is an attractive
dessert, made more so by baking 1t In
glass and finally adding a meringue.
1t is about equally good whether hot
or cold. More than this, consider.
BILE number of variations can be made
without once adding an acid fruit
which makes it less digestible. The
long baking makes 1t both more di.
gestible and palatable, and it is dainty
of flavor if just the stirred-ip top is
all to give this.
The Recipe.-To each cupful Of milk
allow one tablespoonful of rice and one
Of sugar, or more if to taste, and one
piece of candied ginger about an inch
and half long. Butter pudding dish,
put into it the well-washed rice and
milk, with sugar and the ginger cut
in bits, bake in moderate oven for one
hour and half, stirring in the top at
least three times.

A GENERAL SURVEY Of
The WAR
SATURDAY.

British losses in the great naval pat
tie fought Wednesday off the coast OF
Denmark remain at three battle cru'S-
ers. three armored cruisers and eight
destroyers. It is estimated 5000 Of
ficers and men were killed.
The admitted German loss Of the
batt!eship Pommern and two light
cruisers has been increased by the
evident destruction of the new light
cruiser Elbing. At least six German
destroyers went down, it is believed,
and the destruction Of Teuton lie IS
placed at more than 1000.
The British admiralty says two Ger
man dreadnoughts and battle cruiser
were sunk, but Berlin has not admit
ted this.
The ridges of the heights southeast
of Zillebcke, southeast OF Ypres, Bel
GUM and the British position beyond
have been captured by storm by Ger
man troops, the war office announc ed.
Fighting at Verdun is the feircest
since the battle began. The Germans
are pressing toward VauN, but the
French claim to be holding their own.

HOW TO CONTROL BLACK ROT
Spraying With Bordeaux Mixtures Is
Perhaps One of Most Reliable
Means of Checking.
(By JOHN II. CARMODY, Kentucky
Experiment .Station.)

(By JOHN H. CARMODY, Kentucky
Experiment .Station.)
Black rot OF grapes is by no means
a new trouble, as it is very general in
all Of the sections where the grape is
grown. Black rot first shows itself
upon the berries and leaves. Usually
the berries are most seriously affected
and the disease manifests itself upon
the latter by small, clear-cut, brown
spots. These spots gradually enlarge
until all of the berries on the stem
are affected. 1t is a noticeable fact
that the diseased berries do not shed,
but continue to cling to the vine long
after the grape season is past. 1t Is
needless to say that this serves as
means whereby the disease is carried
over from one season to another.
Spraying with bordeaux mixture is
perhaps one Of the most reliable
means of control. Where the trouble
is known to exist the vines should be
thoroughly sprayed in the spring, just
as the buds are swelling. This ap-
pl!catlon should be repeated several
times during the summer The num-
Der of applications will depend some
what on the nature Of the season. If
the season happens to be dry, fewer
number Of applications will be needed
than if the season is warm and moist.
Bordeaux mixture for this purpose
may be prepared as follows: Dissolve
four pounds of copper sulphate (blue
stone) and four pounds of stone lime
separately in rs gallons of water. Then
pour the two together into 50-gallon
barrel and stir thoroughly. The best
way to dissolve the copper sulphate
Is to suspend it in a cloth bag in wa
ter. over night. Care should be taken
not to let it come in contact with any
metal. Pumps should be brass-lined
where bordeaux is to be used.

fore. maturity is reached and also a
shortage in the trees production.
The larva now makes its way out
of the fallen apple beneath a piece of
bark, or board, or rubbish and there
spins a tight cocoon and in about four
weeks the adult moth makes it's debut.
The pupa stage is only reached In
the first brood of the year while the
second brood winter as larvae.
The pest may be held in check by
spraying before the calyxes of the
fruit close; by turning the hogs into
the orchard to eat the fallen apples;
by saving and trimming off all har-
bors for it; and the July brood may be
checked by wrapping gunnysacks
around the bodies of trees.

WORK OF STRAWBERRY GRUB
insect Annually Causes Much More
Loss Than Is ReaIlzed-Hunt Him
Out and Kill Him.

The working Of the white grub In
newly set strawberry fields annually
causes much loss, much more, per-
haps, than is commonly realized. Va
cancies here and there amount to
quite a little sometimes, when taken
in the aggregate.
The more intensive the culture and
higher the prices prevailing, the great
er the loss in money.
The grub begins his work as soon
as the plants are set and continues
his operations throughout the life Of
the plantation.
AS this strawberry pest works on
the roots of the plants only, there is
no chance to reach his case with
arsenites. The only thing to do Is to
hunt him out and kill him.
If plant appears to be whiting or
out of condition, not keeping up with
it's fellows, nine chances in ten grub
will be feeding on it's roots.
