DON'T PASTURE CORNSTALI«.<
"4.s death from cornstalk dis-
ease is geuerally sudden and I"
there is little opportunity for
treatment," says a government
publication, "Wends should not
be
ing turnstaled into" a field with stand-
.
There are good reasons aside
from loss by this mysterious dis-
ease why the stalks should not
be fed off in the field, and for
this reason, if for no other, we
join in the advice. The feeding
of standing stalks is usually safe,
but every man who practices it
runs the risk of finding dead In
his yards valuable cattle which
were ready to help in making
profits the day before.
Nobody seems to know just
what them is which occasioually
gets into a field of stalks that is
deadly poison to cattle. But we
do know that if the stalks are
cut at the proper time for mak-
ing fodder, cured and removed
from the field the danger is
avoided.
Stalks fed in the barnyard are
safe and better than stalks fed in
the field because they Are Cut
when all the feeding value is in
them, or should be. Stalks shred-
ded and fed in the barn or yard
are better yet because the stalks
themselves will be eaten. Stalks
made into.silage at the proper
time are better still, because they
will not deteriorate on the ap-
proach of spring. They are juicy
and palatable to the stock and
will be eaten up clean.
In these days of silos, rather
low priced shredders and cutters
and efficient engines, every man
should try to avoid both waste
and cornstalk disease by feeding
his corn in the most efficient
way.—Farm and Fireside.

. THE CABBAGE WORM. ,
Methods For the Destruction of This
Pest.
The cabbage worm is generally the
easiest insect pest to find in the gar-
den, writes Clarence M. Weed in the
Orange Judd Farmer. It is the thick,
green caterpillar that feeds upon cab.
pages, commonly doing much damage
to the forming heads by eating holes
in the leaves. These cabbage worms
hatch from eggs laid upon the leaves
by the common white butterfly. When
each worm becomes full grown it
changes to a chrysalis. About ten
days later it changes again, this time
to a white butterfly similar to the one
that laid the egg.
In hot weather the development from
egg to adultfbutterfiy often takes place
in less that four weeks, so there are
several broods of, worms each season.
In the more northern states there
A TRAY FOR. TML BUTTERFLY.
seem to be about three broods, while
farther south there are probably four
or five. Many remedies for this pest
are known. On a commercial scale
arsenicals are used, but in the home
garden this does not seem to me a
desirable treatment except when the
plants are small. A simpler way is to
heat water in a teakettle to 1.40 de-
grees; then pour, a little quickly on the
infested plants. This kills the worms
with little harm to the plants.
A'little insect powder '-;sr pyrethrum
dusted into the beads at Intervals of
once a week will keep them in check.
The insect powder bought at village
drug stores is often old and worth-
less. It should be fresb and strong to
be effective.
When cabbage plants are left stand-
ing in the field after the heads are
harvested or when a crop that bas fail-
ed to head is left to neglect the cab-
bage worms feed on them through the
fall, and there are so many more to
mature to start next season's crop of
butterflies. All such useless leaves
and heads should be destroyed by feed-
ing to stock or iii some other way, or
a few of them may be left and kept
dosed with poison so the butterfiien
will lay eggs on them and the worms
that hatch be killed. In this way
these plants will act as traps and at-
tradt butterflies that might otherwise
deposit their eggs on wild Mustard
and related plants.
Cornstalks and Snow.
It is sometimes a good plan to leave
Some of the Cornstalks standing. EV
ery fourth row left standing will bold
a lot of snow on the land, At the
North Dakata experiment station it
was found that one-fourth of the corn-
stalks left standing stopped about as
=eh snow as when all were left,
This will in many cases mean a good
deal to the next crop. The added mois-
ture will snake the soil less liable to
blow, and the standing stalks will
check the wind a good deal, near the
surface, and this also reduces the drift-
ing. Better tty leaving a few tows

tary, Mary Duff; Treas„ Gordon Fall;
Corr, Secretary, Clayton Duff.
Miss Alice Paul, who retired from the
position of secretary which she has ably
filled since the Society was first organ-
ized was the recipient of a very hearty
vote of thanks for her valuable services
which have contributed so greatly to
the success of the Society.
An interesting feature of the opening
meeting was an address by a, former
Bluevale boy, A. H. Paterson, C. E.
Mr. A. McEwen introduced the speaker
as one whose success in life was asourse
of pride to his old Bluevale friends. Mr.
Paterson gave an entertaining account
of life in Spain where he was engaged
as an engineer on a large electrical de-
velopement project near Barcelona
which, when the war broke out, was
forced to close down for lack of funds,
He gave a graphic picture of a Spanish
bull fight and exhibited a large colored
poster advertising one thatwas held in
Barcelona in September. Another in-
teresting souvenir was a bill which he
brought from Gibraltar advertising the
auction sale at that port of a German
prize boat, "Adolf", captured by the
British. The bill was printed in both
English and Spanish. The account of
his return to America by way of
Gibraltar and England made war con-
ditions very vivid to his hearers,
The feature of the meeting this week
will be a talk by Mr. A. MacEwen and
Miss Cora M. Messer descriptive of
their visits to Quebec last summer.
The first debate of the season will be
held next week and the subject is one
that is being widely discussed at the
present time. "Resolved that Conscrip-
tion as a form of military service is
preferable to the volunteer system,"
The speakers will be: -Affirmative, W.
H. Fraser, W. H. Haney; Negative,
Rev. D.'13. Thompson, J W. King.
