Rhubarb is plentiful this year. pcrhiiDS because of so much mois- ture. Do not scll it at an unpro- fzfabie figure. but clean it. split it lc.gth\va,-. - stretch lr wire over kitchen more and bend the stalks across it. In sbotit three weeks the rhu- barb is thoroughly dehydrated. and is tlten broken into short pieces packed into paper bags and keptin n dry ‘ ce. 1ft would. I imagine. keep efintﬁv. A handful or own of these "chips" boiled with pupal‘, makes a grand winter ccn- fection. with a better taste (to my fancy) than fresh rhubarb.

As usual. they kept charging up against the window when the lamp was lighted. then dropped. presumably stunned for a time. to the ground. For an ex- periment I put a pail, about quar- mm‘: of water. Just. below the window. Next morning I tipped the bucket and cotinted the drowned bug's. There were thirty-seven. As the gzs are the txrrents cf those . rtlial "white grubs" I felt quite pleased with the "bag", as hunters call it.

Another troublesome insect is the ant. The big black Carpenter Ants will attack the tunnel trees of a certain age. and the little brown garden ants tunnel the ground and stable aphids on the roots of grasses and plants. The aphids re- pay their care by producing "honey- dew" of which ants are very/fond- Various methods of getting rid of the ants have been devised, but I find that "poisoning the insects is probably the simplest. 1 procure one of those circular fly-pads-a well-known brand — and step it for a while in a pint. (or a little better) of water. Then take out the pad. and sweeten Well. Pl‘!- feral>ly with brown strgar. A couple of teaspoonfuls of this sweetened liquid. is now put into a small bot- tle, which is laid. on its side. near the run. of the ants.

Yet these lat-l ter flights may be actually heavierl than recorded. for when easterly-i or southerly breeze prevail. the birds are apt to be seen far out.‘ crossing from the crest of the ridge over the valley. about two miles ‘wide. to the Pinnacle. a spur of the mountain four miles dis-t- ant from the lookouts. and from there continuing on.
