Put your trust In me,” answered Tomorrow, and there was so much of promise In his roles that The Girl gathered her frayed pocketbook and shabby muff from the step upon which they had fallen, rid herself of some of the weariness of her orertaxod body In a long sigh, and lifted her face toward the figure at the head of the stairs.

And while he hesitated there came to his consciousness a strange Impression. At first It seemed like a message expressed through aome medium other than words. Then distinctly It assumed sound. “There is always Tomorrow and the possibilities It holds." came the words clearly to The Man's ear. “Who are your' he questioned anxiously, “and what do you mean by Intruding at such a tlmeT" *T am Tomorrow," called the role*, and The Man grasped the hope that came with the to le and hugged it close. r "Why, yea," he said, “I had forgotten at-out Tomorrow.

Whereupon the Iridescent figure of the day yet to be born danoed gayly before The Man's eyer.. and from 'a distance held out hands that brimmed with wonderful, beautiful hope. “I am going." called Today weakly.

INSECTS HARM APPLES Many Orchardists Who Fail to Guard Against Pests.

In Many Cases There la No Excuse for Inferior Fruit Except Neglect of Persons to Carry Out Plans of Spraying. (By B. P. TATLOR) There are comparatively few orchard 1st* at the present time who doubt the value of spraying apples for the curcbllo and the codling moth. On the other hand, there are many who are. In reality, not protecting their orchards from these two cardinal apple pests as much aa Is possible or. Indeed, practicable. If la unnecessary to go Into detail In explaining all the reasons why fruit, stung from the codling moth or stung and deformed by thecurcullo. Is permitted. Suffice to say that In miny cases there Is no reasonable excuse. except the failure of persona to carry out plana of spraying which are already weU known to be elective. There la a strong tendency, however, noted recently among many fruit growers to do more careful and Intelligent spraying so that a higher percentage of first-class apples may be produced. A tew years of partial fruit failures from adverse and uncontrollable weather conditions makes It even more necessary that In the other years we save our crops

Codling Moth on Apple, from destruction by Insects—an accomplishment quite within our power. Among the many Insects damaging the apple crop there are two which stand out pre-eminently as the most destructive. These are the curculio, the old offender commonly known aa the plum curculio, and the wellknown codling moth. The damage done to apples alone In the slate of Missouri by these two Insect* in a year when an average crop is borne funs into millions of dollars. In controlling these and other Insects, apple growers should apply their arsenical sprays at times when they will be of the greatest possible service. There la a limit to the number of sprays which can be profitably applied, especially since In many cases It is also necessary to give separate spraying fungicides at Uiqea when an Insecticide la required, or vice versa. Spraying la the chief method of control of curculio and codling moth la apple orchards, but there are e number of other natural or artificial checks against both Insects which do

STORE SEED CORN PROPERLY Three Things to Rtmember—Dry Place, Fatny Low Temperature and Well Ventilated Room. (By H. C. HACKLEMAV. Missouri Col leg* ot Agriculture.) In storing seed com three things should be kept In mlud, according to J. C. Hackleman of the .Missouri College of Agriculture. They are (1) a dry room or building, (t) a fairly tow, even temperature without hard trecsea. and (3) a well ventilated room from which,moisture from the sweatmg grain cay easily escape. Seen com may bti injured li stored above sweating grail from which it receives

These essentials are moat perfectly secured by ruoper storage In an attic, aa caretyl testa have shown that better results were obtained from such storage than from any other. Cellars in which there are furnaces are excellent; others are likely to be too damp. 1^ It la Impossible to use any of the house In this way. suitable places can probably be found In tool Aeda cr other farm buildings. A frame of two by fours may be built from two to six feet square and strongly braced. If chicken netting la then stretchod over both the aldea In such a way that the boles match, the ears may be thrust through and stored very cheaply. They mav be swung from the roof In strings, held by baling wire or binding twine, or may be stuck on naila driven into an upright four by four post from which the corners have been trimmed so aa to make room for eight rows of nails instead of only four. Mice may be kept from this seed com tree by nailing tin around the bottom just above the base or by Inserting a hook In the top by means of which the tree with Its load may be bung with a wire from the roof. A study of your own conditions will perhaps show you better method! than any of these which will meet the requirements ot good storage.

Banding of the trass to capture the descending wonra ot codling moths as they search for a place for pupation waa a practice even before spraying for codling moth was begun. It has been shown that they will somrumea capture as high as 40 per cent of the worms upon the tree, but U cannot t» considered a practical operation when such far better results can be accomplished by spraying. When hands are used they must be looked after every ten days end the worms destroyed, to prevent the moth from maturing and making its escape. If this la not done they will only offer safer hiding places and do more harm than good. They are sometimes useful In trapping the first emerging worms In the summer In order to forecast the date of appearance of second generation worms. Cultivation of orchards Is one of the best of procedures for curculio destruction. It keeps tbe orchard free from many ot the desirable hibernation places for tbs adult, and it unquestionably destroys s high per cent of the Insects in tbe ground. There are many useful natural Insect parasites and other enemies of both curculio and codling moth which attack them In practically all theli stages and assist very materially In preventing the damage from them being far greater then It M.

CONTROL THE APPLE BORERS Department of Agriculture Recommends “Worming" and Painting Trees as Effective Method. “Worming” and painting the trunss of the trees are recommended to owners of apple orchards as efficient methods of dealing with the roundheadeJ apple-tree borer In a new Farmers' Bulletin. No. 6T6. of the United States department of agriculture. A heavy application of some paint that will Injure the trees but will remain In an unbroken coat oo the bark for two or three months.

To get the beat results from feed stock should have feed-saving and convenient racks and boxes. Sometimes there la more feed wasted than eaten by the stock, especially when the corn la thrown out In mud eight or ten Inches deep for the bogs to muss over, or when sheaf oats and clover bay are piled out by a post against the aide of the shed to trampled under foot by the cattle and horses.

Permanent feed racks may be made oa this principle out of heavy material in which to feed fodder, straw and hay to horses and cattle.

SELECTING GOOD DAIRY COW

tlon—Some Good Records Here is a statement made by Prof. T. L. Haecker at an eastern convention that will bear re-reading: "1 am going to tell you bow to know a good cow. It's a simple matter. One or two signs tell a good cow, aa well aa twenty. In a poor cow the thigh runs down straight, so there Is no place between the thigh and the udder on one side and the tall on the other. There should be plenty of daylight between the udder and the tall. One of the best ways to tell what kind of a cow you have la by her temperament. A good dairy type has a sharp spine, strongly developed nervous system and sharp hip bones. A good cow baa a large wedge shaped stomach, for she must have a large and powerful digestive system to us<r up her food quickly, and make the best returns for It. Some of the animals the first year made but little over 200 pounds per cow. while others gave over 390 pounds. We have kept this record every year and the last year our cows averaged 399 pounds per cow. and at a cost of only 4.2 cents per pound of butter for feed. One cow gave us 612 pounds during the year. These were not picked, high priced dairy cows, but tbs com moo run of dairy stock." Get Last Drop of Milk. Do not alight the milking, but get tbe last drop. There la no quicker way to decrease the flow of milk than to leave a little each tlma.

HOW TO MAKE GOOD NOODLES Simple Instructions That If Proparty Followed, Cannot Fall to Make Them a Success. Any number of eggs may be used In making noodle dough, according to tbe quantity of noodles desired at once, the only requirement being to work In sufficient flour. When using more than one egg at a time, divide (he dough Into aa many parti as you have eggs, for the sbeets when rolled out will be easier to bSLndle than If larger quantities are taken. To make a quantity of noodlee sufficient for four persons, break one egg Into a bowl, and beat until ItghL Add aa much flour as can be worked in. flour the breadboard and roll this dough out Into as thin a sheet as possible. fair aside on a clean cloth or paper until dry enough so as to be rolled up like a paper lamp lighter. Tbe layers must not adhere to each other. Take a very sharp knife, and beginning at the end of the roll, cut the dough off In aa fine slices as possible. Toes lightly In the hands and the slices will fall apart In long, yellow reread* Spread thin on cloth or paper, and let dry thoroughly. Then they may be used at once, or packed In tight paper bags or boxes and placed In a dry place They can be kept for months.
