are favorable to the apEls and long
dry spell retards the growth Of the
clover.
Tho apkis prefers the young tender
leaves and stems of its host, but
eventually it covers the entire plant.
Garden and sweet peas. being succu-
lent plants, are seriously attacked and
readily succumb to the depredations
Of the insects. Glover, particularly
red clover, on the other hand, is able
to Withstand considerable injury, but,
as has been noted, even this plant is
not free from serious damage; in fact,
entire fields Of clover are sometimes
destroyed.
We have no definite reports of in
jury to cattle by feeding clover hay
| which has been heavily infested with
the aphids; indeed, we have been in
formed by cattle feeders that such
| clover, which has slightly swe@tish
taste, because of the honeydew cover
ing it, is rather relished by cattle. In
1911 it was reported that feeding cattle
with infested vines was supposed by
one farmer to be tho cause Of thu
death of some of his cattle, but there
seems to be no proof and the conclu
sions were probably incorrect.
The pea aphis commonly feeds on
clovers-especially red and crimson
clovers-garden, grass, Canadian field:
and sweet peas, vetch and, not infre-
quently, on alfalfa.
The pea aphis is one of the most
prolific of plant lice. A female can
give birth to as many as "a young in
| q period of IA consecutive hours. The
| average number of young per female
for all individuals where records were
kept in 1912 and 1913 was 81 per
day, but this is the average for the
entire productive period of each
female. Toward the latter days Of
this insects life, the birth rate greatly
diminishes, often not averaging one
young day.
It is doubtful If any species of plant
lice is more harassed by enemies than
is the pea aphis. The common aphfs
fungus is the most important natural
| enemy. This fungus thrives under
moist conditions, especially when &C.
companied by warmth. This fungus
is contagious and spreads with won.
derful rapidity. Heavy rains destroy
great numbers of plant lice, and very
hot, dry weather, seems to hinder OK.
cessive multiplication, so that weather
| conditions are great factor in the
natural control of this pest. Nine diff.
ferent species of ladybirds prey upon
the pea aphis, and the larva Of the
syrphid and cecidomyid fleas are i'm.
portant enemies.
In the clover field the pea aphls ia
| ordinarily held in check by it's natural
enemies. If it is apparent that the In
sect is becoming unduly abundant, the
clover should be cut as soon as pos
sible, since the cutting and drying OF
the clover will kill most of the insects.
Glover coated with the honeydew of
the aphids will not cure properly.
| Spring pasturing or early cutting back
of the clover will check the multiplt
cation of this plant louise.

FEEDING SKIM MILK TO HENS
Interesting Test Made With Four Pens
of PuIIets at the Purdue Ex-
pertinent Station.

In a test made at Purdue where
four pens of pullets were kept well
fed up on grain and one was given
meat scrap in addition, one had fish
scrap, one drank skim milk and one
had none Of these animal f.>ods-the
latter were kept at loss; didn't lay
eggs enough to pay for their keep.
The profit in the meat-scrap pen
was $1.55 per pullet; the fish-scrap
pen, S1.56; in the skim-milk pen, $1.62.
In the meat-scrap pen the pullets
averaged 1876 eggs per year, in the
fish-scrap pen 1913 eggs, in the skim
milk pen 1854 eggs, in the pen where
no meat food was given 1926 eggs.
Skim milk made the difference be-
tween 1876 and 80 eggs. Hardly pays
to waste skim milk at these figures.

Gradually it has come about that
everyone who motors, be it more or
less, insists upon wearing the proper
motor headwear, and the making Of
this particular kind of millinery has
become special business. A pretty
hat, soft and comfortable and one that
will stay on, no matter how much the
speed exceeds the limit-these are
the things the motorist demands as
essential. If in addition to these, dur
ability and the appearance of smart
street or sports hat may be acquired
all in one, so much the better for
those who market the marvel of in
genuity.
Here are two of the motor hats de-
signed for spring, chosen from many
others equally good and of the same
character. They are made, by meth
cd that is patented, with an elastic
headband or headsize as the milliners
term it, and they will stay on the
head without the use Of pin to fasten
them. A strong elastic cord is in
serted in the base of the crown at the
back and it serves to bind the hat to
the head just as a garter holds up a
stocking.
Millinery bTaids and fabrics are
used for these hats, as for Others and
their designers are not hampered by
snv lack of materials. Some mate
rails like po1gee silk. and soft kid
Gathers seen especially appropriate
! them.

it has been the subject of numerous
treatises, both from the systematic and
economic viewpoint, and it's identity
has been much confused with other
closely related species. In America it
seems to have made its first appear
ance in destructive and noticeable
numbers in 1899, although it is
known to have been present here for
at least two decades previous, and
each year since 1899 this aphis has
been recorded as injurious in one or
more localities in the United States.
Records Of injuries by this insect
have been reported by various author.
tiles in different parts of this country,
showing that for a good many years
the pea aphis has been present in
serious numbers. DR.. J. w. Folsom
reports injury to red clover in the
following words: I'm 1903 the louise
killed an immense amount Of red clo-
YER and weakened much moro in De
Kalb county, Illinois. I found on one
farm so acres of dead clover roots in
one field. Not one root in a thousand
showed any signs Of life, and on the
ground were thousands Of cast skins
of the aphid. At cutting time the lice
had been such a nuisance that the men
objected to handling the crop. After
cutting, the clover never revived. In
neighboring fields there were many
bare spots where the aphids had killed
the clover locally, and in the growing
clover were many centers of new in
festation, due doubtless to migrant
winged females. All Of the clover in
that pert Of the country was more or
less injured; not only old clover but
also the flrst-year growth. Returning
to tho same region the following sum-
mer to see the consequences OF the
injury, I did not stay long, for it was
hard to find a field of clover anywhere.
The farmers reported that the clover
had been winter killed. to their sur
prise, since the winter had not been a
severe one and the clover often sur
yived worse winters"
Mr.. H. Morrison, discussing the
abundance Of this insect in Indiana,
in 1910, says: TT was SO common in
many fields that the clover remained
on the ground for more than a week
after cutting without showing signs
Of curing. The clover stems were so
plastered with honeydew that the
moisture could not evaporate from
them."
We have seen clover fields in In
diana so badly infested that the plants
would be covered with the so-called
'honeydew," sticky, swedish fluid
elected by the aphis. Walking through
such an infested field, ones trousers
would appear green, so thickly would
they be covered by the plant lice, and
ruined by the honeydew which Gov
cred the plants. While it is seldom
that fields are killed outright as de-
scribed by Doctor Folsom, there can
be no doubt that the heavy infestations
which are so common, have decided

that it's usefulness is not confined to
motor wear.
The hat at the right is more dis
tinctly for motor wear. made of nat

aid green braid. Flat cabochons Of
the braid are used for ornament and
a green chiffon veil is part Of the

Only Make Them Shiny.

Almost the only requirement in tho
new hats seems to be make them

presents mirrorlike surface, it suits
the popular demand. But there are ex-
ceptions even to that rule, for some
very smart-looking sports hats are be-
ing shown made of the sheerest Of

some thinking, mustered up his cours
age, and finally went to the telephone.

Would she honor him by allowing a
friendly call? A silWery tone at the
other end of the wire responded af-
Tentatively to both inquiries.
Dismally, however, Uncle Peter
looked out of the window of his SUI
perb bachelor quarters, as eight
o'clock arrived. It had begun to driz-
zle outside. Now Uncle Peter was
a pink of perfection as to neatness
and dress. He abhorred crease or
wrinkle in his immaculate attire, and
| damp clothes-horrors!

bilated the old fellow. ITS water.
proof he said, t'its big and broad.
Yes, I'll co.
Glad was he that he did. He met
warm welcome. Never had Miss
Warner seemed so charming, so en-
couraging. The bright lamplight, the
CHEEKY CRATE fire, the luxurious best
easy chair he fitted, the exquisite cup
of tea her own fair hands brewed-
ali! this was worth living for, true,
homelike happiness.
Twice Uncle Peter "Ha-humed!" The
speech of speeches upon his lips, he
faltered. Those radiant eyes abashed
him. He fancied he detected whim-
steal smile on those charming lips,
and, too, a pleased glow in the mag
netic eyes, but he only blushed, embar-
raised, and with sigh arose at
length to say good night.
1T is still raining, fear" spoke
Miss Warner, as they stood in the
hall.
II have brought an umbrella ex-
planned Uncle Peter. And, oh! by the
way" and, glad of an excuse to re-
main by the side of his lady love as
long as possible, he took it from the
rack to begin to explain that it was
Ned's own invention, and how it op'
Grated.
"Oh, dear! sec what have done!"
she cried in dismay, as, after it was
opened, and she, standing dangerously
near to Uncle Peter, CHANGED to touch
the button.
For at once the ribbed folds of the
umbrella embraced them, squeezed
them in a close prison, and there, in
q truly ludicrous position, they stood.
IL can't reach the button" began
Uncle Peter.
'How awkward" murmured Miss
Warner, but she did not make any
great effort at release, and then Uncle
Peter grasped the grand opportunity
of his life.

zone moment, please. I can break the
umbrella and free ourselves, but, here,
in the dark, that is, with your eyes not
upon me, T mean-dear eyes-my
dearest-I mean to say love you!"
There! it was out. Her head was
near his shoulder. Creak! he expand
ed his arms and thrust the battered
umbrella aside, wreck. He directed
q swift glance to her face. It's ex-
preston was telltale.
rs it possible that laundering old
idiot like myself might hope he has
not offended you?" he blurted out.
Don't you dare to abuse my dearest
friend, SIR" she rallied, and extended
both hands, and Uncle Peter nearly
hurrahed amid his great Joy!

nephew the next day. II want to buy

went on-"opens at the touch OF a

'Thank you. Ned" bowed Uncle Pc
Ger gravely.

sumptuous, but I wish you would
"Huh!" uttered the old man eagerly.
Yes, do assented Ned vehe-
rently. ooh! I know your choice

you find a better match? She is thirty
ana handsome, intelligent, Industrious,
and 1 really think she likes you.'
'.Don't-don't raise any false hopes,
boy pleaded Uncle Peter falteringly.
I'm not. Have you ever indicated
your feelings for her."

ately, whenever I have got ready to
say something, she fixes those wonder

her, or catch her in the dark for five
minutes I could speak out my mind
and get it all over with
'Oh, pshaw. you dear, modest old
fellow" rallied Ned affectionately-
brace up-l'H wager you won't be re-

Ned, do you really think so? Why,
X Miss Warner should accept me, I'd
be the happiest man in the world"
"Then prepare for that rare good
