i arrnal Hiyttaok and He Can J Cut Dwn BJg Trees With His Teeth a Almost every trae knows something buildsg dams and houses to dwell in but very fewpeople have seen beavers in their wild stale It Js also a fact that the race of Industrious little workers is rapidly disappearing In the older dis x tricts beavers generally live in the banks of the streams e they inhabit and the sight of a beaver house is uncom mon f f Where beavers do build houses says Forest and Stream the structures dif fer greatly In size shape and location Some are as large though of course r less high than a small haystack oth ers are hardly more than six feet through at the base They may stand I either wholly on land or partly In the water and partly on the bank or whol ly In the water They are never placed In very deep water for a base must be built for the house to stand on reaching up to the surface since the chamber inhabited by the occupants must be dry The shape of those houses on the shore approaches the conical Those in the water are more Irregular some times only rounded at others long and rather flat on top Within each house and connected with the wafer by a concealed passage through which the beavers pass to and fro is the chamber which is the ani mals dwelling place It is large enough to contain seven or eight of them and high enough so that a beaver can conveniently sit up on his haunches It is warm dry and clean for the beaver Is extremely neat in all his habits The food of the beaver consists chiefly of the green bark of twigs and young limbs of various trees Cotton wood bark Is preferred then comes willow then alder but the bark of almost any tree may be eaten I have known them to eat pine and white cedar The beaver often cuts r down trees of very considerable size to get at the smaller limbs which they eatI eatI I have seen cottonwoods twenty Inches in diameter so cut and once on Vancouver island I found a cedar two and onehalf feet through which they t bad gnawed down The work of cutting down a large tree Is done bya single animal I have seen the beaver engaged in the operation which is as follows The beaver sits up on his haunches facing the tree and with its fore paws rest r Ing against it With Its head turned on one side he cuts a groove above and then one below and bites out the chin taking it off in almost the same Way an axman would He thus saves himself the trouble of gnawing all the wood up into fine cuttings When the tree is felled the whole community attack and cut up the tender limbs carrying them away to the cache Unlike many of our gnawing ani mals the beaver does not sleep through the winter He remains active often venturing abroad during the whole of the cold weather He must therefore have food and a large part of the summer and autumn is devoted to se curing this food and depositing it in caches This food consists of the a limbs and twigs of the trees most pre ferred by the beaver They are cut from one and a half to three feet long stripped of their leaves and smaller twigs carried to the water and floated to the cache where they are sunk And here comes a very curious point These sticks are floated to the cache and are sunk by the beaver to the bot tom of the water where they remain j 4 without any apparent anchorage They are not stuck in the mud of the bot tom or held down by weights If you lift one to the surface it will float but you may move It about on the bottom without Its rising Ihave myself tried this with sticks from which the bark has been eaten but have never done so with the green unpeeled limbs before the beavers bad takeq them Into their houses This matter to me is a very mysterious one and I have never been able to get any Jdrit as to how these sticks were aunk All through the winter the beavers visit these caches carry the sticks to their houses where they eat off the barjk returning the bare sticks to the W per Sometimes It may happen that for Nma reason or other the cache may sot contain enough to last the whole wholewinter possible ggt pn land through name air kale or piece of open water and then forage among the timber Occasional lyjfc combination of scarcity and severe e weather may oblige the colony to curt grate d arlqg the winter to some more farprable spot 4 Courting Trouble r ii LOoererr said the official a therell be trouble It your wife disregards

the utensils clean The following rules should be carefully observed A cream separator should be thor oughly washed every time after using A btnsh r8hould be used on every part and piece using 5 per cent l solution of borax or other good washing pow der Rinse in hot watery or steam If possible They should then be left to dry while Jib t Wiping with an or dinary clean cloth contaminates uten sils with innumerable bacteria The bacterial contamination in milk Is increased from three to five times by running it through a separator I bowl which has been used and only flushed and left standing several hours If only flushed while using for several days the contamination in creases several times more and such milk would be likely to be detrimental if fed to calves The use of a cream separator that is thoroughly washed reduces the num ber of bacteria in milk onefifth to one fourthImproper cleaningsis detrimental to a separator on account of the rust that accumulates on dirty or damp places This may shorten the life of the ma chine many months depending on the degree of cleanliness employed Running milk through a dirty separ ator is similar to running it through a dirty strainer with all of the filth of the previous milking left in it from 12 to 24 hours The millions of unde sirable bacteria from the dirt manure and slime lodged in the separator bowl spoil all the milk to a greater or lesser degree that passes through the machine 1 When properly used a cream sep arator is a clarifier and to a certain extent a purifier but if not kept clean it is a source of filth and con aminationIt It is more important to follow these directions at this season of the year although they are appropriate for all seasons The warmer the weather the more rapidly bacteria develop and therefore the more rapidly milk and cream become damaged It is Impor tant now because it is the farmers busy season and with the press of other work he Is tempted to neglect the important matter of keeping his dairy utensils in perfect order Again the creameries are every year becoming more and more par ticular as to the cream or milk which they purchase The more particular they become the better it is both for the creamery and for the farmer and hence it stands every man in hand to be able to furnish cream or milk of the highest quality which can be done only by taking special care of the utensils and especially of the sep arator COOLING MILK Keep the Cans hi a Tank Filled with Cold Water A great deal of the milk brought to the creamery Monday morning at this season of the year is sour caused largely from not being properly cooled Saturday night A tank of cool water to place the cans in as soon as you are through milking is indispensable One of the plungers used to stir the milk with is also necessary This is made by soldering a piece of tin about four inches in diameter onto a small tin pipe about two feet long this will make a plunger which can be easily washed By giving the milk a churn or two the whole mass will be agi tated and thoroughly stirred sending the milk in the center of the can to the outside and that at the outside to the center If milk is clean and the cans strainers palls and other uten sils are properly cleaned and the whole mass of milk is properly cooled down immediately after milking it will keep a long time LOW PLATFORM MILKING STOOL I A Style of Device Which Some May Find to Their Liking Make the stool shown in the accom panying illustration of two boards 10 1 v Milking Stool with Low Platform inches wide with a similar board across the top overreaching the sides at each end 1 inch The floor of theistool says the Prai rte Farmer Is J6 Inches long and wide enough for a pail At the end is a 2x4 or 2x6 whichever is desired

ries a man very different from the hero of her salad days I HER METHOD OF REASONING Little One Used Sound Logic In As certaining Just How OM Mamma Was Little Frieda ii a bright missY who conies to her conclusions on f kp lines of what to her small mind seem strict and logical reasoning So one shopping day with more sPoon lation in her eye than her mother noticed she inquired What kind of a waist did you ask that lady forN mammaasked tasked her for a 38 waist an swered the mother When they got home Frieda with the air of a discoverer pranced gaily up to her grandmother Ive found out how old mamma is she announced shes 38 How did you find it out queried the grandmother Because she bought a 38 waist i She buys me tenyearold dresses y so if she buys 38 waists for herself she must be 38 years old con I cluded Miss Frieda triumphantly I EQUINOCTIAL STORM I A search of the weather records will reveal the fact that the dayf which marks the separation of the seasons and on which the sun south exactly at noon is more likely than not to be clear and beau tiful but with the latitude that the amateur weather prophets of the 1 past always allowed themselves for safetys sake any storm occurring within several days before or after the time of equal day and night has been held to be either an early or atr belated coming of the inevitablej line storm Avery little thought on the area of the habited portions of the earth and the known causes of storms should convince those who are willing to be convinced that the equinoctial is a superstition and a myth TURKEY DOOMED regenerated Turkey is going to take back all her old possessions in cluding Herzegovina and Bosnia so the Austrians would better eome in out of the wet and give them up in time It is a splendid dream worthy of a Turk of the days when the banner of the prophet swept to victory on a thousand fields of battle But dead empires are not revivified Disin tegration not conquest is the doom of the land of the sultanN

k uu THE ROSE BEETLE HM K f 4INVADED VINEYARDS Pest MaYProven Serious Problem for Grape Growers viV Another Year I Our hereditary enemy the rose chafer or rose beetle has of late been making such bold invasions into the grape territory that any measures which promise even partial success are welcome to the vineyard owners The life history of this awkward creature Is known pretty well by those interested the eggs are laid usually in sod land and In well drained sandy sod by preference just such land as abounds in the fruit belt The larvae are white grubs resem bling in minature the grubs of the ordinary white grub of the June beetle Like their larger relatives they feed on the roots of vegetation They attain their full size in the fall and at that time hollow out small cells in the soil where they pass the winter In the spring the larvae change to pupae and later in June the adult beetles with their long awkr ward legs come out and spread over the countryside collecting in regions where their food plants are to be found new legions appearing from day to day as earlier ones die or are killed off sometimes collecting in al most unbelievable numbers Grapes suffer most of all the fruits pan which would admit of placing the pan closer to the vines would make it possible to catch more of the beetles Of course all the beetles that touched the oil died Quite a large number of beetles were collected in this way but on tHe day of the trial the beetles were not so plentiful as the writer has seen them at other times It is likely that when the beetles are not numerous two men with ordinary milk pans with oil rags in the bottom and with switches would do about as well When very numerous the large pan should be efficient It requires hard work to carry such a pan over the hills such as are ordinarily used for grape grow ing Our illustration shows such a pan In use A test of arsenate of lead In heavy doses was also made at the same time A certain portion of the vine yard was sprayed with arsenate us ing four pounds to the barrel of wa ter The ordinary prepared paste was used We started with a well stirred charge but owing to the in efficiency of the agitator the applica tion was far stronger at the part first sprayed than when farther along As to the results of thS spray Mr r The beetles seem to come out just in time to feast on the flowers and young sets and a single beetle can ac countfor many bunches of grapes at such a time On Just such an Occasion the writer in company with his assistant Mr E J Kraus visited a vineyard at Decatur a wellknown grape region Here a pan seven feet six inches long 22 inches wide and one inch deep was made from a sheet of galvanized iron To one side of this was fastened a light frame three feet high and run ning the entire length of the frame being securely braced to the frame of the pan The pan was prepared by placing a number of old pieces of cloth soaked in water in the bottom and over this pouring about a quart of kerosene When the pan had been made ready it was placed alongside of a vine and the beetles beaten into it by means of switches made of broom corn After collecting the beetles from one vine the pan was moved along to the next and the beat ing repeated Some of the beetles fell short of the pan some struck the shield and bounded back but most of them stayed in and died It is likely that a deep notch in the side of the E V Hayden in whose vineyard the J test was made writes in substance In the north block where the spray was strong the unsprayed rows aver j aged a little more than half as much as the average of the two rows that were sprayed The beetles had been at work for a week when the spray was applied No injury to the vines resulted from the strongest of the mixture This looks very encouraging but the grower must always keep in mind that the spraying must be done thor oughly everything must be hit and all parts of the vine washed with the mixture Also use a pump with an agitator which will work when the pump is moving slowly slowlyR R S PETTIT Entomologist Michigan They WIIIThe old theory that sheep and cattle will not feed on the same range is now proven to be fal
