Instinct of an Insect.

A wasplike insect, called the ichneu.
monda, has a tail like a slender hair
from a horses tail, with which it drills
through wood with this hairIike drill
and with such accuracy that hits the
spot where wondering larvae lie
buried. The drill is hollow, and down
this hollow tube is shot an egg which
lives on the wood-boring larvae
Just how these insects know where
to bore with such unerring accuracy

THE PLAYER AND THE ON
LOCKER

Do the members of the team enjoy
! the game more than the onlooker?
The average onlooker of a game
nks he enjoys the game. Perhaps
les-but does he appreciate it
ess he is close observer he fails
see those small plays which are
leaIly the essentials of the game. |
recall one game in particular. A
friend of mine was with me. The
game was fast and furious. When
ever u player started to throw bas-
ket my friend closed her eyes tightly
and after the game she innocently
asked. "Who won?"
How many of us have ever stopped
to think how the player feels when
one Of the spectators shouts advice
to him? The player must feel some
what the same as the soldier march
ing Oft to the front feels when he
hears the stay-at-homes yell: GIVE
them the devil for me"
Some players never enjoy one mo-
ment OF the game-we can safely say
these are few in number. Others en-
joy the game so much that even af-
ter they are no longer allowed to
play on the school team, they become
members of town teams. They must
enjoy playing the game for its own
sake, for they still continue to play
the sport when there is no alma mater
for whom they could suffer and no
hero-worship to spur them on.
The rigour of the drill and the
tense seriousness that surrounds the
training and preparation for the "big
game" sometimes make the players
despise the game. This hatred is all
forgotten when the game begins. We
have all witnessed more than one
game IN which the players were un-
necessarily rough toward each other.
And yet at the end Of the game they
will walk off the floor with their
arms around one another.
Some of the enjoyment of games
is, perhaps, based on the psychology
evolved by the small boy who, when
he was asked why he continually hit
himself on the head for long periods

FROSTED WHEAT
AS STEER FEED
From Montana State College,

TTTHAT to do with frosted wheat, a
wv problem which confronts farmers in
". some parts Of Montana every year,
will be one Of the main subjects Of dis
cussion at the First Annual Livestock
day to be held at the Montana Expert
ment station, Bozeman, April 81, advises
Louis Vinke Of the Montana Experiment
station.
During the past winter several lots of
steers have been used in tests to de-
termine the value of frosted wheat as q
steer feed and the steers used in the ex-
periments will be on display when the
farmers and stockmen OF southern Mon
tana visit the station.
1t has been known for some time that
frost-damaged wheat is good for fatten-
Ing hogs but little information is avail
able as to the value Of this feed for
steers. There appears to be a general
opinion that steers do not do we'll on
feed of this kind but the experiments at
the station indicate that this opinion is
not well founded, Mr.. vinke advises.
Frosted wheat appears to be a very salts
factory steer feed.
All farmers and stockmen Of southern
Montana who are interested In livestock
feeding are invited to attend Livestock
day, says MIR. Vinke. All livestock used
in experiments during the past winter
will be on display at that time and a cat
tie buyer will be on hand to place a
definite value upon each animal.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
FAKE EXPOSED
BY ANALYSIS
arom Montana state College)

Qrom Montana State College)
NHE "Quack doctor" is among us again.
This time he is selling a supposedly
superior" lawn grass seed Of widely
extolled virtues n few faults under the
high sounding name of "Herbae Mira. !"
Like many products OF the high pres
sure salesman, the wonder lawn grass
seed Will not bear analysis. advises w. d.
Hay OF the Montana Grain Inspection
laboratory at Montana State college.
According TO Mr.. Hay the seed is sold
to individuals and local retail dealers by
high pressure advertising which makes
misleading statements as to the value of
the seed. or by travelling agents in house
to house canvas. Laboratory analysis
shows that 1t is made up Of such COM
mon grasses as perennial rye grass.
meadow fescue, timothy and redtop.
The seed analyst advises that although
"Herbae-Mira" has sold rs high as $3.50
a pound, the o expensive seed in this
mixture may be purchased from reliable
seed firms for 80 cents a pound in small
lots or for less than 20 cents a pound in
100 pound lots. In fact. careful calcula-
tions indicate that the mixture could
be made up in 100 pound lots for less
than IS cents q pound.
The mixture is not considered good
for lawns and any purpose for which it

fulfilled with other seed mixtures, says
Mr.. Hay. The United States department
of agriculture makes the following state
ment regarding the rye grasses and
meadow fescue: italian rye grass is
sometimes used for making temporary
lawns. or as a minor constituent of per-
manent lawn grass mixtures for quick
and temporary results. Meadow fescue
and Italian rye grass are not turf form
ing grasses. but grow in bunches much
the same as timothy. and therefore it is
impossible for them to make velvety turf
BY nature of their growth they are not
aggressive against weeds and creeping
grasses. and they are no more tolerant
of shade than Kentucky blue grass"
The seed inspection laboratory eau
tions against high sounding names and
glittering promises. If there is any ques-
ton OF the purity OF a lot of seed or OF
its a~daptability to different conditions o
sample should be sem to the seed inspec-
ton laboratory at Bozeman. A labora-
tory analysis is the only way to be cer-
tain, he says.
