sect feeds on the wood of large num-
ber of shade trees and shrubs and
does much damage along the Atlantic
New Jersey and in the Hudson River
valley. In the caterpillar, or larva
stage, the leopard moth eats into the
tree upon which 1t feeds and not only
checks its growth but so weakens 1t

many farms Good crops and good

Immediately afterwards,
Carbon bisulphid must be handled
with care. and precautions taken to
avoid danger from fire and the inhal-
ing of fumes. This means that the
operator should not smoke while at

be no fear OF the liquid damaging the
hands.
The leopard moth in its adult form
has spotted appearance, the semi
transparent white wings being thickly
dotted with blackish, dark blue. or
greenish spots. There are also large
black spots on the thorax and dark
cross bands on the white abdomen
The moth lays its eggs. either singly
or in groups, during the summer, usu-
ally selecting crevices in the rough
bark of trees as q convenient place
to deposit them. The larvae or cater
pillars hatch about ten days after
wards and at once penetrate the liv-
ing wood As they feed. they burrow
tunnels which frequently encircle COM
pletely the tree or branch. When the
larva has grown too large for the
branch in which 1t is feeding, 1t crawls
out and moves to one more suitable.
AS the insect remains in the larva
stage, feeding in this way. for nearly
two years. It is capable of doing n
great deal OF damage before II trans
forms to the pupa or chrysalis stage.
This II does in May or later. and some
time between May and the end OF
September II emerges as an adult or
moth.
Damage by this borer in large parks
! is often SO severe as to render II
necessary to establish n system OF in

sulphid OF carbon should be used. Care
should also be taken to see that the
insect is not allowed to breed In

The use Of fertilizers will strengthen

PROSPERITY IN
WESTERN CANADA

Taxes in Western Canada average $24
and will not exceed $35 per quarter
section. which includes all taxes. No
taxes on improvements.
When Western Canada was faced
with her enormous harvest last fall
the military authorities decided that
soldiers in Canada could give the EN-.
pire no better service for the time
being than to assist in harvesting the
crops. For that reason leave Of ab-
sence was given to soldiers who
wished to work in the harvest fields,
and their labor was an important fac
tor in harvesting the big crops success
fully.
The necessity for increasing the ag-
ricultural production is commanding
even more attention in 1916, and 1t is
now announced that soldiers in Can
ada may obtain leave Of absence from
their military duties in the spring for
certain length of time to enable
them to plant the seed for the crops
in every Province Of the Dominion.
The fact that the Government rec
ognizes the seeding and harvesting Of
Canada's crops as being Of the first
Importance is perhaps the best evil
dence that conscription or any in
crease of taxes which would reduce
the agricultural activity of Canada
will never be considered by the author

Owing to the number who have en-.
listed for overseas service 1t has been
found necessary to secure farm labor
in the United States. 1t is hoped that
fifty thousand can be secured-Adver-

YOU WANT PINK CHEEKS

Every woman wants pink cheeks.
They mean not only beauty but health.
Then put the color in your cheeks,
not on them. The glow of health is
the red of healthy blood showing
through translucent skin. 1t is i'm
possible without rich, red blood.
When a girls color fades and she
looks debilitated, is short of breath,
when her heart palpitates after every
elight exertion and she has pains in
various parts of the body she needs DR..
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
They are the remedy best suited to re-
store the blood, bring brightness to the
eyes and put color in the cheeks and
lips.
The only other treatment needed costs
nothing. 1t is this. Give the patient
plenty of sunlight, moderate exercise
every day, not enough to cause fatigue,
and use care in the diet because the
food craved is often not the best for the
condition.
