LATE SUMMER cATERPiLLARs
 OF THE ORCHARD,

There are three common caterpiIlars which appear on fruit trees late in summer and cause more or less dam age. These three occur every year, some years in greater numbers than in others, bringing about injury by feeding on the foliage. Young trees are often completely stripped of their leaves and branches of larger trees are similarly defokated Orchards that have had good care and have been sprayed are not so likely to be attacked as neglected trees,
 The red-humped apple caterpillar is one of the three and is well named as there is a conspicuous red hump on the fourth segment of the body. The caterpillar when full grown is a little more than an inch long with body striped with black and yelIowish white lines and black spines and with red head. They are found in col onies near the end of branches which they strip of leaves.
 The yellow -necked apple caterpillar also is found in clusters on the branches of fruit trees. The full grown caterpillar is about two inches | long with body striped with black and yellow and with 8 black head. The segment next to the head is yellow | thus appearing as a yellow neck The body is thinly clothed with long | soft hairs. When a branch with ( colony of these caterpillars is jarred the insects bend the head and tail in the air grasping the branch with l the feet on the middle of the body This characteristic pose may be held l for several minutes.
 l The fall webworm is the insect which forms the conspicuous webs ol tents on many kinds of shade and fruit | trees in late summer. It is often con fused with the tent caterpillar which occurs only in the spring of the year The fall webworm is a very hairy caterpillar an inch or more in length They feed within the web only leaving it at night When all the foliage is eaten they may leave one web tC make another elsewhere, thus a tret may become completely defoIiateG showing several of these unsightlS webs.
 These three caterpillars are easil, detected either by the stripped branches or by the webs so that the orchardist should be able to find then before serious injury is done. Arse. nate of lead sprayed upon the foliagt i will poison the caterpillars. In or.
 chards which receive the regnlal sprays for other insects it will no often be necessary to spray separate
 ly for these caterpillars. Small tree
 should be inspected thoroughly whel
 such colonies as are found may be de
 stroyed by cutting off the infested
 branch or by shaking off the cater
 pillars and crushing them on tn Sround.-J. A. Manter, Department 0

THE FEED SITUATION.

The following is a circular letter sent to the dairymen of Massachu- setts which shows the attitude and trend of thought which the food ad- ministration has in the grain situ- ation at the present time.
 We need not remind you that feedstuffs were short last winter. Another winter is coming. Up to last winter we had a supply because job bers and wholesalers purchased at advantageous prices on long term contracts and made speculative profit. They could order forward car lot shipments and hold at diversion points, forwarding from these points as material was sold. This meant reservoir of hundreds of cars of feed at our western gateways and within easy reach of our retail ware houses.
 'Food administration regulations now prevent retailers from taking speculative profits. Last January the railroad administration abolished the hold-in- transit privilege. This means that we will not have a reservoir ot l grain at Maybrook, Rotterdam June 1 tioh, Harlem river and other holdine points. How can we be sure of a supply of feeds for the winter
 
 The Massachusetts food admins i tration is unwilling to try to predic- whether markets are going up o] l down and whether this is an adySn. i tageous time to buy or not. We are ! however, sure of this: If we are tC nave adequate supplies of feeds il
 New England this winter they mus 3e gotten into New England befor,
 inter. We believe that between nov and that time every dairyman should
 ;tock up with an adequate supply t, cover his requirements. We leave i To your judgment as to whether vol should purchase now or later. You guess on the movements of the mar ket is as good as anyone's. But il any event, regardless of prices, it i our belief that the only safe cours
 is to have a supply of feeds accumu lated before the winter begins.
 The jobber and wholesaler have i, former years taken a speculative risI and made a speculative profit. The
 cannot make it in the same way now
 The margin which they would hay

 were thereby the gathers. If dealer do not secure stock, it is the feeder
 who must. If wheat feeds are not t
 be had we must get what is avail able. In any event. have some feed for winter"

FITTING POULTRY FOR THE
 FAIRS,

Every year there are new exhibi- tors in the poultry game. In view of the agricultural activities among people during the past summer, there will no doubt be a good many boys and girls who will make their first ex- hibit at some of the coming fairs. Even though these exhibits be small consisting of only one, two or three birds, 1t is worth while to think over before long just how it ought to be done because it not infrequently hap pens that the best bird in the show does not get first place and sometimes does not even get any place. because he has not been properly fitted by the exhibitor.
 The first thing to do is to select a bird which comes up to standard re- qu1rements as nearly as you can judge in the matter of shape, color and size. After picking out such a hen, then look her over carefully for dis qualifications, the most common of which are side sprigs on the comb, the stubs of feathers in the shanks, crooked backs and twisted tails. One should be especially careful to look for the stubs in all clean legged va rieties. After the bird is chosen, it ought to be placed in a training coop similar if possible to those that will be used at the fair. If, however, you cannot find out this, put the bird in some sort of cage, preferably one that is well lighted and ventilated clean and easy of access.
 A week or two before the fair. nut your birds in the training coops for the night. At first it is better to leave them quiet for an hour or two 1 and then, by the light of a lantern go along and stroke each bird down i the back Later, this process should be repeated in daylight After this use a short stick. You are really try ing to accomplish two things; You want to teach the bird not to rust wildly around the cage when anyone l comes near, or in other words vol want them gentle. You use the sticl so that he will not be frightened d which all judges employ in making their awards.
 Feeding is an important matter tt consider during this training period For small comb varieties, like Ply. mouth Rocks and Reds, a light feec of wet mushmixed with milk orce day. For grain use oats, corn ant feed wheat. One must be careful no to use too much milk and too mucl meat in large combed varieties lik Leghorns. Milk is perhaps safer thai meat and helps the looks of the plu
 mage. Do not omit the grits an, green food and chopped onions ar
 also appetizing. Keep this trainin;
 coop clean. Just before the bird i
 taken to the fair. be sure that tn
 comb, legs and feet are all clean, evel
 if it is necessary to sponge them ol
 with clean water and brush them wit
 a soft cloth. A little vaseline on tn
 combs will improve their appearance
 Lastly, do not forget to write you
 name and address plainly on the bo
 even if you take it to the fair your
 self, which will probably be the nor satisfactory way, especially in thes times of express and freight con ' gestion. It is not a bad scheme a

AUDITORIUM.

Robert Downing, the eminent actor, who for the past ten years has been devoting his time to evangelistic mis- sion and stun work in many parts of the country, will return to the stage in August in a production of Ten Nights in a BarToOm, under the man agement of Arthur c. Aiston, who at one time was Mir. Bowning's manager, when he was playing The Gladiator, Othello. Ingomar, Virginius, arc An thony, Brutus. Damon, etc.
 Mir Downing has been known for the past ten years as the actor evan Eelist- and in the present case he will continue to be both the actor and evsngelist-playing the part of Joe Morgan. the drunkard in the play, and devoting the Sabbath to delivering temperance talks in the interest of national prohibition, in churches and halls. wherever an opportunity pre- sents itself.
 After his stage experience, and ten years as an evangelist, preaching in churches of all denominations, he is convinced that the church and theatre can work together and become a pow erful organization for the betterment of men and women, claiming that his stage experience helps him in illus trating the force of the argument and by porHaying the characters of whom he Is talking, makes an impression much stronger than mere sermonizing
 In the production of Ten Nights 1T Banroom the evil effects of drink are shown, not merely upon the indi- vidual, the man himself, but the whole community. So when Mir Aiston ask cd Mir. Downing what he thought ot the play and 10 play the part of Jot Morgan. deliver temperance talks CT route on the Sabbath in churches, ' M c.

THE CONTROL OF INJURIOUS
 INSECTS.

It is perhaps more important this year than it has ever been before that the insect pests of war gardens be controlled. The food is needed. Insects take their toll of about SlO9O,- 900 No0.00 annually in the United States The potato aphid caused tre- rnendous losses in Connecticut in 1917; it may again appear in 1918, and growers should be on the watch for it. This insect and may others are described in the 17th Report of the State Entomologist, which has just been published as Bulletin No. POS, of the Agricultural Experiment Station, of New Haven. This bull work of the chronological depart' ment, including the inspection of Connecticut nurseries, imported nur- sery stock, apiaries, and the sup pression work against the gipsy and
 brown tall moths. It contains a

MYSTERY lN SHEEP RAIsINe2

I'm making money from them" said A. c. Hoffman, an Indiana stock man, in reply to my query as to why he keeps sheep.
 Feel this goods" he continued, holding out his arm so that I might inspect his coat-sleeve. q paid $50 for this suit, and a year ago I bought a better one for $20, with much more wool in it. Do you know why that is? It's because so many of us gave up sheep raising. When we lost money on sheep, it was simply be- cause we didn't take the time to study them as we did our other stock. People seem to have the idea that there's something mysterious about sheep raising, but there isn't any more mystery about them than any other stock. All they need is proper care and attention
 Some people may think there's nothing profitable in sheep raising but we have proved to our own sat | isfaction that it pays. Any wide awake farmer can make money with | sheep now. A community club has helped us."-F. T. McF. in Farm Journal

WAR RArIoNs FOR STEERS.

Talks with leading cattle feeders of the country bring out the fact that strict economy must be practiced in feeding beef cattle. Many feeders have been in the habit of giving song feed of corn to make their stock heavy in weight and prime in quality but they have learned that the mar ket for live cattle must be high if they are to make a profit that way
 Many feeders lost money on steers last winter. because the demand for long-f fed prime steers was not large

enough to warrant a strong market. The popular demand has been for the cheaper grades of beef.
 Silage will play an important part in finishing next winters beef. Feed CTS are planning to graze the stock until the silage is ready for use, and have silage take the place of pasture during the winter. They figure on a short grain feed to give the steers a little better finish. This is what they term war rations.
