Wrens Good Insect Eaters.

The wren. according TO \. A. Saun-
and interesting bird. 1t has cheerful
song. and during the summer months
it sings almost necessarily. Its food
is largely insects. 4 pair of wrens
will work from daylight to dark dur
ing long June days gathering cater
pillars and other harmful insects to
feed their young. have known them
to visit the nest with insects on an
average of three times In five minutes.
The number of insects destroyed by a
pair of wrens and their young in a
season is enormous.-Tree Talk.

Treatment for Tomatoes.

Tomatoes may be pulled up, plants
and all, and hung tops downward in
a dark place, preferably cellar,
When treated in this way the fruit
will ripen nicely and slowly and will
he available for table use for long
time after the plants have been re-
moved from the soil, Fruit that is
very immature should be removed
from tho vines and may be used for
picking or in other ways. II facili-
ties for hanging the vines are lack
ing, the tomatoes nearing full growth
will ripen satisfactorily II wrapped
separately in paper and stored in a
dark place.
Many vegetables such as cabbage
and turnips are not harmed by ordi-
nary frost and need no special pro-
lection. In fact, such root yegeta-
bles as carrots, parsnips, and satisfy
are improved by freezing and are
customarily left in the ground until
needed.

Keen Seed Corn Safe.

Seed corn may be left on the racks
where the ears have been dried. But
il is generally preferable, says the
Omitted States Department of Agri-
cultur, to store the ears in mouse
proof barrels, boxes, or crates dur
ing the winter. In any case they
must not be exposed to dampness or
they will absorb moisture and be in
jured.
After hanging in the drying she'd
or living on the racks where there
is constant circulation of dry air Tor
the first two months after they have
been selected from the stalks in the
field, the seed ears should be bone
dry and contain less than 10 per
cent of moisture. Some farmers
place the thoroughly dry ears in the
center of a wheat bin and then fill
the bin with loose, dry wheat.
Destroy Weevils and Grain Moths.
If signs of weevils or grain moths
show, the corn should be inclosed
with carbon bisulphid in a practical
ly air-tight room, bin, box, or barrel
for As hours. The liquid bisulphid
should be placed in shallow dishes
on top of the box or barrel holding
10 bushels or less. The fumes from
the bisulphid are heavier than air
and gradually fall to the bottom OF
the receptacle, permeating the whole
mass. One pound of the carbon BIZ
sulphid is enough for room or bin
10 feet in each dimension. After
fumigation the ears must be thor
oughly aired, whereupon the I'M
pleasant odor disappears. Great care
should be used with carbon bisrl-
phid: its fumes are quite as inflam-
mable as those from gasoline.
To prevent the entrance of weevils
and moths, the ears may be stored
in comparatively alright boxes or
barrels with / pound of moth balls
or naphthalene for each bushel OF
corn. which is not injured. Ten
pounds will protect enough seed to
plant 60 acres.

Judqing a Potato.

A good potato should be firm and
crisp when cut. and thin cross sec
tioa when held between the eyes and
the light should show n relatively uni
form distribution of starch throughout
its whole area, as opposed TO q large
translucent, watery central area. which
denotes lack Of starch in this portion
of the tuber. The even distribution OF
starch insures greater uniformity In
cooking and In texture OF the hesf
when cooked
