SILK WORM HARD WORKER
Goes. Through Immense Number OF
EvoIutions in Unwinding Its
Product From Its Body.

The silk worm is just caterpillar
after all, but a special kind Of cater
pillar which develops curiously. 1t is
very small when first Matched from the
egg, and grows so rapidly that 1t
changes it's skin, or mouths, four times
in the eight weeks which are required
for attaining full growth, about three
inches in length. Then it stops eating
and looks for a good place in which it
may alter into a butterfly. 1t raises
its head and fOrelegs and climbs up
whatever it comes across. Finding
what seems suitable, usually twig Of
tree, it attaches itself to the twig
with a rough tangled fibre, termed "re-
fuse silk" Then it begins to unwind
long, continuous thread of silk, NOV
ing it's head from side to side, and
bending it backward over It's body so
that the silk is wound all about itself,
forming an oval-shaped cocoon, which
when completed is about the size Of
pigeons egg.
The silk In a single cocoon is some
400 feet or more in length. In doing
it's wonderful weaving the silk worm
makes a movement covering 1875 Of
an inch every second. Knowing the
length of the thread, it follows that
the worm moves its head 100000
times in weaving its cocoon.

were densely crowded, but as we got
higher this close growth gave place
to more open forest with here and
there great dead tree standing gaunt
and white In the sunlight against the
dark foliage of the living trees. Final
ly, up near the rocky crest of the
mountain, young trees are compare
lively scarce, and along the ridges
near the summit there are many
groups of fine stately trees. Here, at
height of nearly 1000 feet, snow was
still lying at the time of our visit in
April.
Many Killed by Great Drought.
A striking feature of the Touggour
forest is the number of large dead
trees still standing. In fact, large
trees in full vigor without dead
branches are rare until the summit Is
reached. The great drought of 1876
1881 is said to have wrought havoc
with the cedar forests of Algeria, and
suppose that these dead trees now
standing are witnesses of that time.
There is no doubt that cedar of the
Minor are only varieties of the same
species, which now linger only in the
mountains of northwest Africa, Cy-
prus, Palestine and Asia Minor. The
deodar of the Himalaya is also some
what more distinct variety of the same
species.
The scattered colonies Of the cedars
have given rise to the hypothesis that
the Atlas mountains were once cOntin-
uous across the Mediterranean with
the mountains of Cyprus, and that the
cedar, together with certain other
plants, used this land bridge for it's
extension from the east to the west.
It is more probable, however, that the
cedar is an ancient species which
once occupied mountainous regions all
around the Mediterranean when the
climate was colder than it is now and
it was able to live below it's present
limit Of height. 1t has died out in the
intermediate regions even as it now
seems to be dying out in Palestine.
There seems to be no fear of any
diminution of the forest near Batna
under present conditions judging from
the profusion of vigorous young trees
on the lower slopes. l did not special
" look for young seedlings, but found
a number of cones lying about from
one of which / have raised number
of seedlings. The comparative rarity
of young trees on the higher slopes
where the melting of the winter SHOWS
must provide sufficient water in the
summer is striking and to me mex
plicable.

STATE WAGES WAR
ON SWINE PLAGUE
Station Workers and Veterinary
Officials Seek to Prevent
Loss and Waste.

"Cut out hog cholera now so you
can cut up meat this fall"
This is the slogan just now Of Wis
consin veterinary officials In their fight
against the dreaded swine plague.
SO far their efforts have resulted In
keeping the disease down, but hot
weather is always liable to give 1T a
fresh start unless the greatest precau-
lions are taken.
What Is Being Done.
The legislature appropriated $1,000
to defray the expenses of officials en-
gagged in stamping out cholera.
The experiment station at Madison
is making and selling-at cost, one
cent a cubic centlmeter-serum with
which to vaccinate hogs to prevent
the disease. Quantities Of this serum
are distributed each day now that
the cholera season has arrived.
The veterinary department of the
College of Agriculture is always glad
to give any help it can and farmers
are urged to write to the college Off
Gals about their hog troubles.
The state veterinarian at Madison
should be notified as soon as cholera
IS discovered. He has been appointed
by the state to deal with such situa-
tons.
Farmers living in a county which
has an agricultural agent will find
that he will help procure serum and
show how to vaccinate herds.
Farmers suspicioning cholera are be-
ing urged not to waste any time
in gaining its full control. Uncle
Sam needs the meat.
"Hogs may be suspected of cholera"
declares the veterinarians of the agri-
cultural experiment station, when
they refuse to eat or eat earth and
indigestible substances, have chills
and huddle together, keep their backs
close together or crossed, and stagger
when they walk, have peculiar hack
ing cough, and show puslike dis
charge from the eyes which often
gums the lids together"

OLD PARLOR NOW
Is CHEERFUL ROOM
BY LAURA 3. BREEZE,
Department. of Farmers institute, uni
versity of Wisconsin.

The living room of today was the
parlor Of yesterday
Now it is the room in the home
where the family circle gather ito live
together" Then it should be q most
comfortable and inviting room--a room
| that by, virtue of its charm will draw"
the family members into it.
It may have, as the center of inter
est. large fireplace of brick, one that
will permit of the burning of wood or
cOal-for these fuels lend cheer and
glow and crackle good to witness and
| to inspire.
Avoids Furniture "Sets"
There is no reason why the furniture
for this room should be in ''sets" Of
sofa, rocker, and chairs, all alike. Such
sets are hard to use without giving an
appearance of awkwardness and stiff
ness. Odd pieces of harmonious or the
same woods make a pleasing selection.
All furniture for this room should ex4
press firmness, comfort, and delight.
Better get the pieces good, as they
can be afforded, with one piece fitting
with the other, rather than purchase
a number of cheap pieces at once A
cheap piece gives satisfaction but once
only when we pay the bill.
We want couch and chaiSs in the
living room that are comfortable rath-
er than formal, serviceable rather than
snowy.
We need a table large enough to hold
a few books, magazines, and reading
lamp. A table rather plain in type,
and so built that there will be no dam
ger of children upsetting it.
Bookcases, either portable or built
in, should be part of this rooms fur
nishing-their shelves filed with the
best books of interest to each of the
family members.
A plano, and perhaps photograph,
are necessary for this living room, for
music uplifts and inspires and will Gre
ate a bond OF sympathy between all
members of the family.
The color for living room prefer
ably should be an unabstrusive one,
and one that will not soon become I'M
interesting. Tones of brown, or green,
or rich old rose are safe and pretty for
this room, which will be occupied SO
much of the time.
Few pictures and ornaments are
needed. Better have few good ones
than dazzling number Of these. One
or two good pictures Of meaning and
truth upon the walls will be more at
tractiye and useful in the room than
number of small ones of inferior
study. Pictures, like books, are silent
teachers in the home and may have a
subtle and refining influence upon the
family. Choose them with this thought
and aim in mind.

WAR INCREASES
CALL FOR FARMERS
Colleges of Agriculture and Ex-
pertinent Stations Asked
to Give Aid.

Trained farmers are as busy organ
ments of harvest hands, as officers in
training camps are teaching rockies
how to handle guns.
"The secretary of agriculture is call
ing on the agricultural colleges and
experiment stations Of the country to
perform very important service in
organizing and directing the food pro-
duction activities of their respective
states" says FL. L. Russell, dean of
the Wisconsin College Of Agriculture
and director of the experiment station.
Hundreds trained in agricultural
science are being used in such. work
in this state"
What Is Being Done.
Besides carrying on our regular
work at the college, we have increased
our extension activities in every di-
rectiOn. Many counties not employing
agricultural agents have been supplied
with men from our own staff to act
as emergency agents. Frequent re-
DOILS anu IlGEIluSo VI dA
agents, both regular and emergency,
serve to keep us in close touch with
the work and many valuable sugges-
tons for better service are obtained
in this way. These officials are doing
q valuable work in rounding up avail
able farm labor and placing it where
it will do the most good.
"Our agricultural extension staff,
composed of both men and women, has
been increased and even then we have
been unable to meet all the requests
that have come to us for help. Under
the direction of state council of de-
tense, a series of emergency circulars
containing information on important
agricultural subjects, and posters,
folders and letters of a similar nature
have been and are being published and
distributed in an effort to help solve
our food problem.
81 cannot say too much in commend
ing the loyalty and support which we
have received from the people Of the
states in the cities and towns as well
as i'm the country. The whole-hearted
way in which they have entered into
every movement to help Wisconsin do
her share should make at least one
chapter in the Badger states history
of the war"
