The Acre of Discretion.
Senator Dillingham, discussing Im
migration in New York, made use of
the phrase, "the age of discretion."
"What Is the 'age of discretion,' Sen
ator?" asked one of bis auditors.
"I should say," returned Senator Dil
lingham, smiling, "that the age of dis
cretion is reached when a young man
removes from his mantel the rich col
lection of actresses' and dancing girls'
photographs and substitutes the por
trait of his rich bachelor uncle."

Signature of

Sum in cr Pest.
The Illustration shows one of the most
destructive of the summer insect pests,
which attacks both fruit and orna
mental trees. It Is known as the yellow-neck
caterpillar, and Is linuallv
found in numbers along the branches
of trees, feeding on the foliage until
the limb is entirely denuded, when they
migrate to another limb. The female
deposits the eggs on the leaf of the
tree, where they are usually hatched
during July, and the young insects be
gin leeaing on the leaves.
The full-grown moth is shown ln the
upper part of the Illustration. The
caterpillar Is about two Inches long,
with a dull yellow band just back of
the black head. This pest is familiar
to most farmers, for it may be found
in nearly every section of the country.
A good way to rid the trees of them
is by spraying with paris green, but
If this is not desirable because of fruit
on the trees, a torch made of cloth or
small rags and saturated with kerosene
may be applied to the Infested limbs
and the Insects destroyed In this man
ner. How Book Learning Paya.
"Book learning" for farmers has
been a thing to laugh at in the past.
It used to be thought that an almanac
and one or two patent office reports
were all a man needed to make him
competent to "run a farm"." We are
getting past that day, and doing It at a
pretty fast pace, in our times. Think
of the report Just published by the
commissioners appointed a couple of
years ago In the State of Louisiana to
investigate crop pests, with particular
reference to the boll weevil and the ter
rible injury It has wrought to the cot
ton crop. For two years these commis
sioners have been studying and exper
imenting on the State farms in the
Red river region, and now they send
word out to the world that they have
succeeded in growing cotton that can
not be hurt by the boll weevil. Just
how they have done this we must wait
to learn. The great fact is that they
have done it. Think what this will
mean in money to the farmers of the
cotton growing States! Nor will the
benefit of their wbrk stop there. Other
people than the cotton growers are in
terested in cotton. We all have use
for the plant and its products. From
the poor man down in the most obscure
quarter of the city to the millionaire
In bis beautiful home, we all need cot
ton In some form or other. And "book
farming" cuts the cloud which has
hung over the men who grow the plant
and lets the sunshine ut all over the
world.
Cacti aa Stock Vood.
The New Mexico Experiment Sta
tion has lsued a very creditable bulle
tin dealing with the composition and
feeding value of the prickly pear and
other oacti. The spines of the cacti
ase removed by singeing with a torch.
The protein content In the air-dry ma
terial ranges from 2 to 10 pqr cent,
the fruit being the richest part. The
cacti compare favorably with many
forage plants. Heretofore the great
difficulty In the way of utilizing cacti
as forage has been the spines, but
since they can be removed by the torch
a large amount of cheap forage is made
available to the stockmen of the arid
The Collie Door. .
The Intelligence of the collie Is be
lieved by many to come as near to hu
man thought as that of any animal,
and It Is possible to teach them so
many things that some very remarka
ble stories are told about them.
They are for this reason the crenf
sheep dog, and no Scotch herder would
attempt to get along without his col
lies, with which he lives alone far off
on the hills, says the Circle.
And that is saying nothing of their
beauty and charm as companions.
THE YELLOW CATEBPILLAB.
Do San snare No Joke.
The old joke about eatlnsr "hot do"
is no Joke In Germany any more, for
no less than 7,000 canines of various
breeds were slaughtered and eaten by
the subjects of Kaiser William lest
year, according to a report from Consul
George N. Ifft at Annaberg. The eat
ing of horse meat seems to be quite,
general In Germany, for no less th.W
182,000 horses were slaughtered for
human food in 1900.
"Horseflesh Is very generally adver
tised in the Gorman papers," says
Consul Ifft, "especially In those In
large industrial centers, and most Ger
man cities have at least one market
wnich makes It a specialty, claiming
for it a higher percentage of nourish
ment than that of beef, veal,' mutton
or pork. Neither Is It unusual to find
advertisements of dog meat or for the
purchase of dogs for slaughter.- In the
city of Cassel recentlythe police, in
searching for a lost dog, discovered a
private slaughter house and arrested
the proprietors, who were apparently,
making a regular business of stealing
and killing dogs."
In the city of Chemnitz alone, Con
sul Ifft reports, G98 dogs were slaugh
tered for human food In 1900, this be
ing an Increase of eighty-eight over the
previous year.
Cabbage Rot.
The disease known to the cabbage
growers as black rot, or stem rot, haa
come Into prominence within the last,
few years, and is said to be a serious
hindrance to cabbage growing In sev
eral States. From a recent farmers' ,
bulletin prepared by the chief of the
division of vegetable pathology, It ap
pears that no way is known of curing
the disease or of entirely ridding a
locality of it when once it is well es
tablished. The whole subject of treat
ment may be summed up In one word
preventing. The disease is not con
fined to the cabbage, but attacks a num
ber of species balpnglng to the mustard
family. The planting of other crops
for a long series of years is said to
be the only satisfactory way to get rid
of this disease of the cabbage when it
has once become serious.
Hedge Trimmer,
The trimming of a hedge is properly
the work of an expert, many years of
practical experience being required be-
f o r e first class
work can be accom
plished. As a rule'
expert hedge trim- ,
mers employ a cut
ter having but a
single pair of
blades. A Virginia
man thought that
a trimmer could be
devised which,
would simplify the.
trimming and as-
HEDGE XBIMMEK.
sure greater accuracy. Accordingly he
designed the Implement shown In the
Illustration. It comprises a pair of
knives, containing numerous cutting
teeth. The knives are attached to piv
oted handles, one knife moving over
the other. When the latter are grasp
ed, one in each hand, considerable
power can be applied to the cutter,
whereby over a foot of the hedge can
be trimmed in a single cut. It would
be impossible, with this tool, to trim
too much In spots, forming an uneven
surface to the hedge. The extreme
length of the blades Insures an even
cut throughout.
Keep Rust from Tools.
To keep iron and steel goods from
rust, states the Mechanical World, dis
solve half an ounce of camphor in one
pound of hog's lard ; take off the scum,
mix as much black lead as will give the
mixture an Iron color. Iron and steel
goods rubbed over this mixture and'
left with it on twenty-four hours, and .
then dried with a linen cloth, will keep
clean for months.
Bloat.
An old German who doctors cattle
prescribes a drench of two tablespoon
fuls of epsom salts, two tablespoonfuls
of linseed oil, one tablespoonful of
black pepper and one tablespoonful of
turpentine. He puts the medicine in a
quart bottle and fills It with warm
water. In about fifteen minutes the
floating is gone.
Unseen Workers.
Earthworms have a special duty and
they perform it the numberless mill
ions of tbem scattered far and wide,
unseen and so obscure. They have cre
ated all the loam and all the arable
land of the whole globe.
They pass through their bodies the
fallen leaves and decaying vegetable
matter and by their labor rendering
cultivation and harvesting possible.
When one kills an earthworm, aa
agricultural laborer of the most re
spectable class Is destroyed.
