However, there is at least one moth found in Southern Ontario which com- es into its own at this season. Mr. C. E, Conic, entomologist of the Royal Ontario Museum,, says that the Notched-wing Moth is well designed to blend with the colours of an Octo- ber landscape, This moth has scal- loped wings with a spread of about two inches, They are rich buff in colour with russet trimmings, The larva, a "measuring worm", has fed on the leaves of maple and birch during the summer. Finally it spins a dense spindle-shaped cocoon within a cluster of leaves. After a brief rest in the pupa stage, it enacts that wonder of the insect world—the slow, looping larva is transformed into the active winged adult, Like most moths, it flies at night but, if you look sharply this autumn, you May find the Notch- wing among the tinted leaves that decorate the countryside. Hello, Homemakers!' The taste for apples is enthused by their mild aroma and the, satisfaction of good munching. However, the various ways in which apples can be used are num- dous and can be served often if you watch the proportions of sugar. Nowadays we don't buy apples by the barrel—at least most of us don't. Our recent purchase of a basket of Duchess apples and our quota of one pound of sugar has been used as an experiment to find out what could be done with them. It was found that a family-of six could have five differ- ent desserts which used every apple and one pound of sugar, Of course, there could be no guesswork allowed in the sugar measurements; yet we agreed the foods were sweet enough. Applesauce . was made from six apples cut up and cooked in one cup of water, then put through a rsieve to remove skins and cores. Three table- spoons of sugar were then added. (We believe that all, stewed fruits, fresh or dried, should be flavoured with sugar after being cooked, but while hot.) Apple pie could not be forgotten among the favourite ways to use them. It took nine apples and two- thirds cup of sugar. By the way, we `grated a little cheese over the apples before we put on the top crust. Apple dumplings are on a par with pie as to popularity. Six apples were peeled and cored. These cavities were filled with sugar—it' took four table- spoons. A square of plain biscuit dough was then folded around each, dampening_the edges to seal in the juices. They were steamed over boil- ing water for 50 minutes and served with a diluted honey syrup. Apple crisp is a super delicious des- sert, although it requires a little more. sugar. Eight apples were sliced into a buttered casserole and covered with the following ingredients that were crumbled together: 8/1 cup white sugar, 3% cup flour, 3 tbsp, hard butter, 1/2 tsp. mace and 1/2 tsp. cloves. A half cup of water should be poured down the side and the pudding should be baked in an electric oven at 350 de- grees for 30 minutes. There were then two apples and two tablespoons of sugar left and these were used to make a Dutch apple cake. The method used for the cake was: Measure and mix 2 cups flour, 3 tsps. baking powder, Ya tsp. salt. Cut in cup butter, stir in 2% cup milk and a beaten egg, Spread the mixture in a shallow greased pan. Peel, slice apples and place in rows on dough. Sprinkle top with 2 tbsp. sugar and, tsp, allspice. Bake in electric oven at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Serve with milk, We are also publishing other recipes which will help to consume the Cana- dian fall apples which are not suitable for storage or export. These varieties sre Duchess, Alexander, Wolf River, St. Lawrence and Wealthy. Applesauce Orange Compote 41/2 cups applesauce and 1 cup orange sections; add 14 cup brown sugar and few grains nutmeg.

Thdy were all sleek and fine and by careful use of a set of scales I am convinced that we will have a fair proportion of selects, If they don't come back with the major- ity of them in that class I'm going' to spend at least a half day at the grist mill and another behind the stove at the back of the grocery store com- plaining how the packers have all the government graders bought over. Jirn. Williams called me up the night before last and said he could take my eleven in his load to the station. It rained that night, one of those late September drizzles that don't seem to amount 'to much, When the alarm clock bounced of hoarsely I looked out into the murk and found that the rain had.stopped, Everything looked good for. the job. The rain had been deceptive. We've had quite a bit of rain lately and' the laneway was greasy. Jim came along about 6.30 and skidded a bit just in- side the gateway where I dug a new anchor-post hole a week,,ago but the big double wheels' finally gripped and he went on 'down to the pig-pen which is directly across the barn-yard from the barn, It took him about twenty minutes to get straightened around so that we could drive the pigs up the loading" chute. Pigs can certainly be co-operative. On the other hand they can be very cantankerous. Ours were ca.ntankei- ous. , Usually you can persuade one of the more adventurous ones to walk up and into the truck, We e had a one- eared veteran of many battles who Strolled nonchalantly up, about half way and then became cantankerous. It knocked rue down, belted into Jim and drove the other ten pigs into con- fusion: The battle was on and we couldn't seem to gct anywhere with them. The more we chased them, the more they ducked and dodged and I could just see the pounds rolling off each one of them. Jim sweating and swearing and I was sweating . . . . and finally he stopped and said, "These are the worst lot I've ever run into." Just -then the pig walked up into the truck as pleas- ant as could be. We sort of feebly waved our -arms and darned if the rest of those pigs didn't walk into it just as easy as could be. We pulled the chute out, slammed the tail-gate and looked at each'other in a silly sort of way. The barnyard was slippery and Jim was in a hurry. He rated the truck a little too fast and the mud started splattering -all over and he just wasn't getting anywhere. We tried old news- papers, under the wheels. We tried straw and finally we had, to haul a couple of wheel-barrow loads of gravel from the pile' behind the barn. lie- made a slow get-away, but not before the truck lurched and knocked over a post. The laneway was all marked up, 'cut and torn to the point where it's liable to be bad all fall. ' Those pigs certainly better be selects. I have to repair the barnyard fence, fix' up the laneway and my temper is still on the verge of serious outbursts. Common Cold Bad 4. For Poultry Flock: During the fall and early winter the most common cause of trouble in the poultry flock is the common cold.. This ailment will cause losses by in- terrupting egg production and by pre- disposing the birds to more serious- diseases such as roup and bronchitis. It pays to take precautions in the aut- umn to prevent colds. The common. causes are exposure to draughts,. dampness, or a sudden drop in temp- erature, Poor ventilation and dirtr quarters are also contributing causes. :The prevention of colds is less costly- and most effective than medicinal cures, In the treatment of colds, the first action should be directed toward •cor- recting the faulty condition that gave, rise to' the trouble. A mild physic should be given, consisting of one-half to one pound ,of Epsom salts per hun- dred birds. The dose should be repeat- ed if necessary. A ten per cent solu- tion of argyrol is an effective antiseptic agent in the treatment of colds. By use of a medicine dropper, or a -sewing machine oil can, a drop, of the' solution can be placed in each eye and each nostril, and in the cleft in the roof. of the mouth. Drinking vessels may the means of spreading colds. A few grains of patassium permanganate, sufficient to colour the water a deep purple, will act as a disinfectant and reduce the danger. Wife Preservers Ne'ver use scalier rugs at the head or foot of the' stairs, as people may Alp on them amid should be sound and not over ripe. Any vegetable or fruit, with a cut or bruise should be separated and used immediately for the table instead of being placed in storage. Good storage conditions call for control of ventilation ,temperaturCand moisture. Ventilation is important to prevent decay caused by bacteria or mould. Moisture is necessary for root crops and apples to prevent their drying out or wilting. The atmosphere should be kept damp, and the temperature as low as possible without actual freezing. AUTUMN MOTH MADE TO MATCH Everyone knows how effectively gay-winged butterflies and moths add their touch of harmonious colour to gardens and fields in summer. But when autumn comes, with its riot of rich and gaudy hues, the insect world ANPVES chest and back surfaces like a warming, com- forting poultice and it will then serve as storage for -quite an assortment of vegetables. • A cold frame built around a base- ment window has a double source of beat. The sun's rays being one source of heat, while heated air from the in- terior of the basement is also utilized. By opening and closing the glass sash over the cold frame the heat from the basement can be regulated fairly well, Whether a cellar itself, or an out- side cold frame heated from the cellar window, as illustrated in the accomp- anying Garden-Graph, is used for storage of vegetables, it should be re- membered that there are certain es- sentials for perfect storage.
