fully, the culprit probably will be

Parents of cutworms.
The parents of cutworms are gray
ish or brownish moths. or "millers,"
which commonly occur at lights during
summer evenings. Each moth may lay
from 200 to 500 eggs, either in masses
or singly. In fields covered with dense
vegetation, and hence the eggs are to
be found more often than elsewhere in
cultivated fields which have been in
grass or weeds the preceding fall.
The eggs hatch in the fall. few weeks
after they are laid. usually during
September, and the young cutworms,
after feeding on grass and other vege-
tation until cold weather, pass the
winter as partly grown caterpillars. II
an infested field is left to grass, no no
ticeable injury is likely to occur; but
when 1t Is broken up and planted to
corn or other wide-rOw crops, the
worms. suddenly. being placed on
"short ratiOns." play havoc with the
newly planted crops, the nearly full
grown worms feeding greedily and
consuming an enormous amount o
food. In northern latitudes they attain
full growth and stop feeding in late
June or early July, and then change to
the pupal or resting stage.

If n small dish of fruit is left, put
it through a sieve, thicEen with corn
starch, and sweeten If necessary, add
ing bit of butter and use as pud-
ding sauce.
When there are three or four kinds
of fruit in small amounts use as a
garnish for n gelatin or jellO pudding.
BY alternating the colors very pretty
dish will result.
Bits of fruit either fresh or canned
If put through sieve may then be
added to ice cream when partly frozen,
making great improvement on the
plain ice cream. A sauce can be made
of the fruit with few chopped nuts
and poured over the Ice crem when
1t is ready to serve.
A small amount of fruit added to
mullins or small cakes improves them.
Do not let. fruit spoil because there
is not enough to go around. Two or
three kinds combined are very accept
able as salad or dessert.
Fruit whip.-Put mixture of
crushed. sweetened fruit into lemon
ade glasses, fill up with whipped
cream. sweetened and favored, and
serve with sponge cake for dessert.
Lemons may be prepared into lemon
sirup and kept indefinitely, they are
always ready for quick, cool drink.
Take one cupful of water, third of
cupful of lemon juice. and half
cupful of sugar. boil for ten minutes,
bottle and set in the Ice chest. Add
spoonful of sirup to glassful Of
water and serve with ice.
When making lemonade save the
lemon cups tc use in various ways.
They make pretty receptacles for hard
sauce. for cocktails. for fish or oyster
sauces, for salad or dessert cup; any
number of ways Will be thought Of to
use them.
Emergency SaIad.-Cut n few bits
of cheese into neat cubes; chop six or
eight olives. Break few walnut
meats in pieces, add few seeded and
skinned grapes, n banana and an or
ange with a sour pickle all sliced thin.
Mix all together and fill apple cups
