Whllo wo do not think there Is much likelihood of a recurrence of t!e aniy worm pest nest year, yet It moy be well l: case we should hare another Innlcs ttor to know a little more about It. Ihe ew York Agricultural JJsporl nient Station has devoted liulleUif No. J04 to an investigation of tne beast, and from It we extract sorr.o facts which our readers would do wall to bear In mind. The eggs are very small, globular In fom, and nearly white In oUtf. They are usually laid in the leaf sheadu of grab-seg and grains, and ti-.a early broctl. which does the mischief .i ol- prsft freely in the cut straw of old stacks. In hay ricks, in old com shocks, atid In bits of corn stalk that hare been loft upon the surface of the ground In pictures. This will espial n .1 fact that has been noted by many, that ; the worms started in blue gram pastures on which cord fodder had b.-cu ted to eattle. The young caterpillars conn forth In about ten days from the tix.o the' egg are laid. In case the egg were placed on fresh grass or grain, tho young lar. tae feed for a time in 'bo sheath where the eggs were placed, but final ly Include the whole blade In the bill of fare. They are full grown In about , four weeks. At this time it single lar rae measures about an inch and a half In length and a quarter of an Inch in diameter. They may be briefly de scribed as being smooth, naked cater pillars, moderately dark in color, with longitudinal stripes running the full length of the body. The third stage In the Insects' life begins when the cater pillars go Into the ground or under stones to make the wonderful change from an nctlrc caterpillar to an appar ently lifeless creature. This stage Is A Time for Liberality. ' A little-neighborly help and counsel may go a great ways toward keeping some people from failure. There arc in every community those who are In a position to either distress or to help their less fortunate neighbors. In most cases It will do these people no good to draw tne lines too tightly, while such action may cause the failure of some who would otherwise have avoided It. A man may be pretty hard up financial ly, and yet be all right. If his creditor knows this and takes advantage of It In a time of financial unrest the debtor and the whole business community are wronged, usually with no advantage to the creditor. No one Is urged to take any great risk for the sake of accom modating a neighbor, yet all should realise the good that a little leniency may do, and the harm that may result from the opposite course.

A single chrysalis measures about three-fourths of aa Inch In " length. Capacity of a Corn Crib. ,. It la a safe rule In estimating tho size of a crib, to allow two cubic feet to each bushel of corn. By a cubic bushel is meant 70 pounds of ear corn, which is equivalent to 50 pounds of shelled corn. The rule Is to allow 14 pounds for cob In the fall, and 12 pounds In the spring after the corn has been dried out perfectly. Two cribs thirty feet long, six feet wide and ten feet high, will by this rule hold 1300 bushels. Ten feet is too high to throw corn easily with a scoop shovel, but there can be two openings for each crib extending down to within four or five feet of the floor, and when the crib Is fall to the bottom of these, short boards can be placed across them, as the crib Is filled, and most of the filling can be done with case. When the cribs must be filled to the top, a boy or man can throw corn back to the ends and fill It, so as to utilize all the space. No American Fat Stock Fhow.' There will be no American Fat Stock Show In Chicago this year. The Illinois State Board of Agriculture has decided that the time Is too short to allow for proper arrangements being made. The stockmen, too, are of the opinion that It would not be convenient for tbem to at tend, the time being too short for them to get their herds In condition. It Is probable that another cause has oper ated to some extent The Springfield fair Involved them In debt about $15, 000, and they had asked to have a guar antee fund of $20,000 raised If the fat stock show was to be held. Only $15,000 of the latter sum had been subscribed. Dead Farrow a Knlaanc. The dead furrow Is always a nui sance in preparing land for a crop. unless it is upon Wet lands, which must necessarily be thrown into ridges a couple of rods wide to carry off sur face water. The reversing plow Is now used and highly recommended when It Is desirable to bare lands level. We shall investigate this revers ible plow and report upon its practical utility another season. t; rr"crve a Record. It would be no bad plan for every farmer, and particularly for every young farmer, to make a resolution and keep It to preserve an Intelligible record of all his transactions, the times, the seasons, the crops grown, tho dates of planting, with such his tory of their progress as will throw light upon the results reached. How one's time has been employed, what work was done, when, and In short every fact relating to the economy of the farm might be briefly but Intelli gibly noted. Such a record, even for a single year, would be of value In planning for the next year, enabling the farmer to better plan bis work, be cause the points at which be succeed ed, as well as those at which he failed during the previous year, would be full of suggestion and reminder. The Advance in Wheat. The price of wheat has advanced In all parts of the world, and is due to legitimate causes. First came a drouth In Australia, which cut down the last crop In the colonies very materially. Later the advices from Adelaide indi cate great need of rain, and the next crop there may be dwarfed on that ac count Two bad years in succession Jn Australia are Improbable, but not Impossible. The crop In the Argen tine Republic Is short for the same reason, and this Is also true of India and Utissla. The spectacle of Califor nia shipping wheat to Calcutta is one tho world has never before beheld. Toy off and Quit. Whcnerer there Is any misunder standing twtwoen employer and em- Dairy 1'ote. It Is well to remember that rails will come with the best of breeding. If a cow has a sore teat milk very carefully, and apply extract of witch hazel. If a cow's teats are mnddy or covered with other filth,, they should be washed with water ada then wiped dry before beginning to milk. With temperature under control and churning direct at the right time, the butter will come solid so as to be easily handled and free from buttermilk. When the butter Is marbled, It Is either caused by leaving too much but termilk in the butter at the last work ing or the salt has not been distributed evenly. Much of the average farm buttr eon tains many of the essentials of good quality, but because it fails In one or more essentials it fails to bring best prices; The laws enacted daring the past two years with reference to oleomargarine seem to be slowly but surely reducing the output of the stuff, and they are cer tainly of great benefit to the legitimate dairy interests. Atrrlcultaral Atoms. Chinch bugs winter over among dead grass, in corn shocks, piles of rubbish, and along fences, especially hedges. The potato blight Is on the Increase. Bordeaux mixture for blight and Paris green for bugs will have to be kept In stock by the potato grower. For storing corn fodder, either shred ded or bulk, any sort of a shed that has a rainproof roof will do. All that Is necessary Is that It be kept dry. Land that is rich enough to produce crops on the "intensive" plan does not need rest, but a Judicious rotation must be kept up, with clover mixed in somewhere. ' y . . Make your cellars frost proof, white wash tbem, and let tbem at all times have light, and be capable of frequent ventilation. A cellar may be of great er value, or a nuisance. ; : The preponderance of evidence seems' to be against the rtplowlng of com land for wheat. The land is In good condition without plowing. Cnt tin corn off low and drill In the wheat. To tell when pumpkins arc ripe chip them with the finger nail. If the nail makes a snapping noise when break ing through the rind It Is ripe, but if It makes no noise or the chip comes off soft it Is not ripe. fcotland Tard Detective Keep an Eye upon uanserona Sharper. There Is one official at Scotland Tard who is but little known to the nubile, but who all the same works very hard and successfully for the public good by closely scanning, day In and day out, tne advertisements appearing every London newspaper. This official's primary duty Is to keep a bright lookout for the very numerous swmaiing ciass which advertises for managers and so on prepared to Invest money; cut, quite beyond this, he, lu the most careful manuer. notes all ad vertisements as strike him In anv wnv as being suspicious, handing them over to tne neads of different departments. Ho Is himself an expert In all matters mat deal with cipher writing, and part Pf his duty Is to translate every cipher uim may appear, banding over a copy of the translation to active members or the staff when anything Is revealed tnat justifies such a course. The writer had the privilege the oth er day of a short chat with this official a uright young fellow, speaking se era i languages, who said: i am arraid that I am not allowed to tell you much, but I may say that uo nay ever passes without my handing over some advertisement for Inquiry. Our scrutiny in this way has become .v.j a.;u recently, ior It IS an open aecrei mat certain foreign catch ad veruaement swindlers are expected nere ere long. "Besides, there have been exposed lo court many cases of swindling recent ly which have depended solely on at luring advertisements. In two of them i gave warning long ago, but no prose cutor would come forward. Were I allowed to do so, I could show you hundreds of most mysterious cipher advertisements in the book over there, the bulk of these, of course, being be tween lovers, but many of them con tainlng warnings from one educated swindler to another. "Of course, you know that the th level even are all specialists nowadays, and It is surprising how soon a bogns ad vertisement swindler gets to work again in the same direction when be Is released from JalL I am advised of the release of these men, and the char acteristics of their style are soon ob servable again In the advertUemcnt columns.

The fibers of th. cotton are finely powaerea ana sirtea, and then suspend- ea in water and allowed to settle. This they do in compact mass, forming a paste, which, allowed to dry slowly, give filter plates quite Impervious to germs, etc. The best results arc gained by placing the plates between two plates of sandstone or perforated metal, and if they are arranged In a battery, like th. filter presses so commonly used In Europe for sewage, sludge, etc., very large quantities of water can be rapidly (Sterilized.
