visitor and said: You say your hus-

all you know OF his whereabouts or
other belongings is that he is EN-
ployed as a waiter at one of the city
restaurants?'
"Excisely," replied his visitor with
slight foreign accent. according to the
Detroit Free Press.
IL will find him for you, but it may
take all day" said the great detective.
And going to the telephone he called
up the proprietor of every restaurant
in the city and extracted from each a
promise not to allow any tlapjacks to
be made that day.
Now come with me-" said the great
detective, and they began tour of the
citys 213 restaurants. Not until the
one hundred and fifteenth did the
great detective genius find its reward.
"A plate of flapiacks with two
straws, please" he ordered for the
one hundred and fifteenth time.

BEST WAY TO WINTER GERA-
NUNS
By EBEN RExFORD.

The question is asked, How can
geraniums be wintered in the celIar!
in two ways: First. in pots. Second
by hanging them up by the heels, so
to speak.
Neither way is absolutely sure to
bring them through in good condition.
But either way may prove successful
therefore Il is advisable to try both
If one has fine varieties he would
like to save for next summer If one
fails the other may prove successful.
To winter them in pots the plants
should be crowded into as small pots
as will contain them, and then The
tons should be cut away so that all
that remains of the summers growth
is a few stubs at the base of the plant.
Do not try to encourage any growth
after potting Set them away IN
cool but frost-proof place and keep
them there as long as it is safe to do
so. Then put them in cool cellar.
The soil in the pots should be quite
dry when they go into cold storage.
and it should be kept in that cOndi-
ton, as nearly as possible, all through
| the winter. Not really dry, of course,
/ but with only hint of moisture in
it-so little, indeed, that il would seem
dry when compared with ordinary
soils
The aim is to keep the plants as
nearly dormant as possible, and this
cannot be done if they are moist at
the roots. Heat also encourages
growth. and the absence of it has a
tendency to keep the plants at a
standstill.
Treated as advised above, it is pos
sibe to bring geraniums through the
winter in such a condition that they
begin to grow as soon as brought to
the light and warmth of the sitting
room after being watered.
The necessary conditions, you will
observe, are dryness of soil and &
low temperature.
1t is less work to make the plants
free from the soil they have grown IL
during the summer and simply hans
up the mass of roots in the cellar
This should not be done Immediately
after lifting the plants, however.
This method makes it necessary fo
us to leave them in the ground al

LOOK OUT FOR THE BUGS
ey L. III. BENNINGTON.

All insects PASS the winter i'll some
stage OF their existence. The question
is where and how? Certainly not on
the wing, and often in a way that they
can be readily destroyed.
Watch the fences and weather
boards of unpainted buildings for the
chrysalis of the cabbage worm, neatly
suspended by couple of silken
threads. Some of these times the mis-
chief-making butterfly will emerge and
it will prove many times more difficult
to destroy.
Most insects pass the winter in egg
or larwal form in the rubbish about the
place, old weed stalks, clumps of dead
grass, and the remains of last years
crop being common lurking places.
Fire is a sure destroyer and cleans
the ground nicely for plowing.
Everyone is familiar with the snap
ping bugs or click k-beeties which creep
into our windows and amuse us by
falling on their back and feigning
death. Presently they make clicking
noise and flop up several inches. II
they fall on the back the performance
is repeated until they light or their
feet, when they sCampcr OFF.
Their larvae live near the suRace of
the ground and from their long taper
| ing form and hard covering are known
as wire worms. There is hardly a
cultivated plant that they do lot in
fest. and working as they do beneath
the soil. they are difficult to cope with.
If the cells containing the Iupa or
recently transformed adults arc
broken, their inmates perish. Hence
all plowing seems one way to lessen
! the nuisance, as the plowing ald sue
cessive freezings must destroy many
cells.
The lady bug in various forms is
quite common both indoors and out
and should be carefully guarded as one
of the best aids in destroying aphis.
The little red lady bug with black
dot on each wing is often found about
houses in winter and should be trans
ferred to the conservatory or window
garden.
II is often mistaken for the buffalo
beetle and destroyed, though the lat
ter is smaller, and black and white
with simply a longitudinal band of dul
red along both sides of the back.
