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.
