Cat Mothers squirrels We have heard of various unusual adoptions in the animal kingdom, but none More strange than that enacted at the home of Mrs, Rose Aldrich, second line east, Howick. About a Week ago her younger son, Keith, tin- intentionally killed a squirrel near the borne, and then discovered he had orphaned a family of four wee chirp. ers. Taking them to the home, it was decided to let the cat "liquidate" them, bat, instead of doing so, the feline im- mediately adopted the squirrels and is still proving a very good foster moth- er. One of the squirrels succumbed this week, but the rest appear to be thriving in their new environment.

CONTROL OF THE CABBAGE MAGGOT The cabbage maggot attacks such plants as cabbages, cauliflowers, tur- nips and radishes. The adults, which are two-winged flies, lay their eggs on the stems of the plants about the time the European plum first comes in- to bloom in the spring, These insects-can be controlled by the use of corrosive sublimate, states Alan G. Masten, Entomological Div- ision, Science Service, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture. This materi- al may be procured at most seed hous- es and when used is diluted in water at the rate of one ounce to 10 gallons. As corrosive' sublimate loses much of its strength when brought in contact with metals, it should be mixed in and applied from glass or earthenware or wooden vessels. This point is very important. Two or three days after the cabbage and cauliflower plants have been set out in the field, the solution should be poured. over the stein and around the base of each plant, using about 3's a cupful per plant. Care should be taken to wet the sterns thoroughly, as well as the SOU immediately sur- rounding the base. Two subsequent applications should be made, the sec- ond 7 days, after the first and the third 7 days later, making three treat- ments in all. It is very important to get the first application on early, as the success bi the control depends • very largely on this point. In the case of radishes, the salution should be poured over the young plants about 3 days after they appeal above the ground and a second appli- cation made a week later.
