PROGRESS AGAINST MOTHS.
Infestation of Brown-Tail and GYPSY
Moths Less Severe.

Washington. d. C. Feb. S.-Infestation
by the brown-tail moth is less severe
than it has been for number of years,
the bureau Of entomology, OF the United
States department of agriculture reports.
A marked reduction in the number of
winter webs has been noted and if nat
ural enemies continue as effective as
they are at present this insect can bel
controlled with small expense. At thel
present time, however. there is ne wayl
of telling exactly what will happen in
this respect, and careful record is be-
ing kept as TO the abundance of this in
upon it if the effectiveness of natural
enemies should be suddenly reduced
The gypsy-moth infestatioiis have been
reduced considerably during the last few
years. The territory infested has re-
NAMED practically the same and the
improved methods which have been en-
ployed have shown good results. The
great danger that widespread infestaton
will be brought about by wind drift of
the small caterpillars can not be ignored
and every effort is being made to re-
strict this danger as much as possible.
When parasites are becoming more eff
fectiye, and the increase of the gypsy
moth in the field is slow, is the proper
time TO exert every effort to reduce fur
her the abundance of the insect and
20 far as possible decrease the area in
Folyed.

DRAIN IRRIGATED LANDS.
Good Drainage Conditions Considered
Equally Important with Water Supply.

Experience throughout the arid region
is demonstrating that the greatest dan
ger to irrigated lands is lack of drain
age Water applied to crops raises the
ground water, which brings with it the
salts dissolved from the soil; capilaritv
brings this water to the surface where
it evaporates. leaving the salts to ac-
cumulate until all vegetation is de-
stroyed. The only insurance against
this is proper drainage. The drainage
conditions are therefore equally impor-
tant with the water supply and should
be looked into with as much care. When
there is not good natural draining il
must be supplied artfcially. This, usu-
ally, Is as expensive as securing the
water supply.
While good drainage is the only guar.
anty against these evils, anything which
will check the rise of ground water or
lessen evaporation will decrease the dan
ger. The two most effective means of
accomplishing these ends are economy
in the Use of water and thorough cult
walton, and cultivation makes possible
the greatest economy in the use of wat
er. Wherever possible water should be
applied in such way that the surface
soil will not be wet, and cultivation
should follow as soon as possible. and
be repeated often. This will check evan.
grafton and keep the water in the soil
for the use of plants, making il unneces.
sary to appl ymore so soon as it would
be needed, and in this way re.
duce the volume which might go to dam
aging the land.-Farmers' Bulletin s64

Fuel Economy Hints.

The housewife by practicing economy
in the use of fuel in her kitchen can OTTER
materially reduce the amount used, anC
so release more for the government
Fuel thrift in the home should be fol
lowed at all times but the need was nev.
er so imperative as now, says the Spring.
field Republican. Where fire in the coal
range must be kept daily to keep the
kitchen warm the problem of planning
the cooking so that as little fuel as pos
sible may be used is not so important as
where the kitchen is heated by other
means and the building of fire or the
use of gas is necessary for cooking the
food. In the latter ease the housewife
should plan her meals with the idea of
using the fuel as economically as pos
sible. Following are practical sugges
tions for saving fuel;
After liquid is heated to the boiling
point, less heat is required to keep the
mixture boiling, so the kettle should be
either set back on the range or heated
by the simmering gas burners only.
Less heat is required to keep a mix
tlTe hot if the dish is kept covered On
the other hand, in the cooking of strong
favored vegetables the flavor of the
product is improved if the dish is un
covered while cooking.
An inset, resembling the top section
of double boiler, for use in the top of
teakettle is a convenient and economi-
cal fuel saving device
Steamers having more than one section
are real fuel savers in that one burner
accomplishes the work of two or three
burners, according to the number of sec
tons. 1t should be noted also that foods
cooked by steam often retain large per
centage of their food value.
If heat must be applied for an extend
ed length of time to given food, it is
well to utilize or take advantage OF this
heat for the preparation of other dishes
that require long, slow cooking, such as
baked beans meat stews, steamed brown
bread and buildings. baked Indian pud
ding. etc Not only is fuel saved by such
planning of the cooking, but the time and
energy of the housekeeper as well. These
foods are equally palatabe when reheat |
ed Since the oven gas burners consume
more gas than do any other burners, the /
heat of the oven should be used a. fully |
as possible, such as the preparation of |
potatoes by baking rather than by boil
being baked.
Perhaps the most genuine fuel saving
device for the household is the fireless
cooker. 1t practically cooks the food !
without fuel heat being applied only for
a length of time, usually not more than
one half hour, sufficient to allow the ra
diators or the food. or both. to become
thoroughly heated throughout. An eff
rient freless cooker may be easily made
at home at slight expense.
Tear newspapers into pieces about sew
I'll inches or eight inches square and let !
soak in water until thoroughly wet
Then crush one piece over another until
a firm ball about the size of a medium
sized orange is built. Dry slowly, but
thoroughly in a warm place, such as in
! pan over the radiator. These balls are
very convenient for kindling new or
starting an old fire.
