Another name for this vegetable is pimiento. Sometimes it is called pimento, though this is not correct—pimiento really meaning allspice. Sweet peppers can be grown easily in the garden and are a common market crop. They should have a place in the home vegetable plot, along with the sharp red peppers used for seasoning, pickles, etc., which they resemble in all respects except flavor, being mild, where the red peppers are biting. Sweet peppers may well be planted generously, for they have many uses on the table and any surplus may be canned. Good methods for this purpose have been worked out by experts of the department of agriculture as part of the canning club work.

Anaheim Sweet peppers may well be planted generously, for they have many uses on the table and any surplus may be canned. Good methods for this purpose have been worked out by experts of the department of agriculture as part of the canning club work. In large markets green peppers can be had almost all the year, as they bear shipment well. Raw green peppers are very useful for seasoning, for salad making, and so on. As is always the case with vegetables, they should be washed before use. They are used also in making many dishes, of which baked stuffed peppers is well known. The top of the pepper is cut off, the core and seeds removed, and the pepper filled with a well seasoned stuffing and baked until tender and brown. If one wishes, a little butter and water or stock may be poured into the pan with the peppers to keep them moist. Corn beef hash is a popular stuffing, as is boiled rice, and chopped chicken seasoned with celery, a bit of onion, and son. Rice and nuts may also be used, or a mixture of rice and vegetables with butter and seasoning. Before canning and before cooking if one wishes (though this is not necessary) the outer skin of the peppers may be removed by placing them in a hot oven until the skin blisters and cracks, which should not be more than 10 minutes, and then removing it with the aid of a slender knife. Sweet peppers, either fresh or canned, are particularly good chopped or pounded fine and mixed with cottage cheese. Such cheese may be served as salad or used as a filling for sandwiches and in similar ways. Department of Agriculture publications contain a number of suggestions for the use of sweet peppers and for making sweet pepper dishes. Some methods of preparing them, recently tested in the office of home economics, follow: Cream of Pimiento Soup 2 tablespoons butter. 3 tablespoons flour. 2 ounces ripe pimientos, cut into small pieces. 1 cup water, or stock. 3 cups milk.

Center Street ELIMINATE THE FLY An educational crusade against the house fly in which every proper means of publicity should be employed is urged by the department of agriculture in the Farmers' Bulletin No. 679, it is stated that the danger from the house fly must be brought more forecibly home to the people before health officers can do effective work. By the expenditure of sufficient pains, any one individual may prevent flies breeding on his premises, but this will not rid him of the danger from flies if his neighbors are careless. There is, however, no excuse at the present time for permitting flies to breed in anything like the numbers in which they have done in the past. The vast majority of flies develop from eggs which are laid in horse manure, and there are two simple ways of destroying the larvae, as the young insects or maggots which hatch from the eggs are called. Sprinkling the manure heap with a solution prepared by bred crumbs mixed with the onion and other seasonings. Roll and tie into shape. Place the meat in a casserole or other dish with a cover. Pour the tomatoes and pepper over the meat and cook very slowly in the oven or on top of the stove for 3 or four hours. If the tomatoes and peppers do not cover the meat add a little boiling water. Veal cutlet can be used in place of steak. Many other recipes are given in a circular recently issued by the department, which is intended primarily for the canning clubs, but is of much interest to housewives who wish recipes for peppers. The first part of the circular deals with the cultivation and growth of peppers. This circular may be had free upon application to the department at Washington. In almost any size, and they appear to be especially well adapted for controlling the pest under ordinary conditions. In cities and towns it is probable that the treatment of manure with hellebore will usually be found more advantageous. Ten gallons of the solution already described, composed of one-half pound of powdered hellebore to 10 gallons of water and allowed to stand 24 hours, will be sufficient for one treatment of 8 bushels, or 10 cubic feet, of manure. A weaker solution than this is not so effective. The hellebore does not alter the composition of the manure in any way and does not cause any injury to crops on which the latter is placed. In fact, the only possible way in which it can do any injury upon the farm is in case the barrel or tank in which the solution is stored is left uncovered in a place where some of the farm animals idly, molting for the first time within a day after they are hatched. A day later they molt a second time, and two or three days afterwards enter the stage of pupation. Thus, the total length of their life as larvae ranges from 4 to 5 days, but this period may be greatly prolonged by low temperature or by scarcity of food. The pupal, or resting stage lasts from 3 to 10 days, although during hibernation it may be prolonged to as long as from 4 to 5 months. Altogether, it appears that between the time the eggs are laid and the time that the adult fly emerges, a period of 8 days upwards elapses. Ten and twelve day records were very common in the experiments made to determine this point. Within 3 or 4 days after the emergence of the insect as an adult fly the female is ready to deposit her eggs. Thus, it is possible to have a new generation of files every 11 to 14 planted by any uses may be purposely experts in breeding in anything like the numbers in which they have done in the past. The vast majority of flies develop from eggs which are laid in horse manure, and there are two simple ways of destroying the larvae, as the young insects or maggots which hatch from the eggs are called. Sprinkling the manure heap with a solution prepared by adding one-half pound of powdered hellebore to 10 gallons of 'water will destroy, according to recent experiments, from 88 to 99 per cent of the larvae in the manure. If this is not done, the use of a simple maggot trap will prove effective. By experiments carried on by the Bureau of Entomology of the United States department of agriculture at the Maryland agricultural college, it was found that the trap used there destroyed fully 99 per cent of all the maggots or larvae breeding in a given lot of manure. Such a trap is simplicity itself, consisting merely of a slatted platform about 1 foot high upon a concrete floor which is surrounded by a rim or wall of concrete 4 inches high. The floor slopes a little toward one corner in order to allow liquid from the manure to be drained off into a small cistern. Ordinarily, however, this drain is plugged with a stopper and the concrete floor filled with water to a depth of 1 inch in the shallowest part. Each morning the manure is removed from the stable and heaped upon the platform. The flies lay their eggs on it as usual, and the larvae hatch as usual. The larvae, however, when about to enter the pupal or resting stage, preliminary to emerging as adult files, invariably endeavor to migrate, crawling about in search of a suitably dry spot in which to enter into pupation. In the maggot trap, therefore, as soon as the larvae attempt to leave the manure on which they have been feeding, they fall through the openings in the slatted platform into the water below and are drowned. Each week the drain should be opened and the dead maggots washed from the floor of the trap into the clistern near by. A platform 10 by 20 feet in size will hold the manure from 4 horses during a period of four months, or from 25 horses for about 20 days. The slats should be 1-inch strips with one-half to one inch spaces between them. Experience with maggot traps has stand 24 hours, will be sufficient for one treatment of 8 bushels, or 10 cubic feet, of manure. A weaker solution than this is not so effective. The hellebore does not alter the composition of the manure in any way and does not cause any injury to crops on which the latter is placed. In fact, the only possible way in which it can do any injury upon the farm is in case the barrel or tank in which the solution is stored is left uncovered in a place where some of the farm animals may drink from it. The most ordinary care, however, is sufficient to prevent such an accident. The cost of the treatment with hellebore selling from 12 to 16 cents a pound and in large lots for 10 cents or less, is estimated at a little over 1 cent for every 2 bushels of manure. Borax is perhaps even more effective in the killing of larvae than hellebore, but borax has the disadvantage of exerting, in large quantities, an injurious effect upon plants. It is possible that manure treated with sufficient borax to destroy the larvae and then applied to plants at a greater rate than 15 tons per acre may work harm to certain crops. Where borax is used for the prevention of files, therefore, no more than 1 pound should be employed for every 16 cubic feet of manure, and this manure should not be used at a greater rate than 15 tons to the acre. This objection to borax, of course, does not apply to its use on the ground of stables with soil floors, in privies and refuse piles, and on other accumulations of decaying material in which flies may lay their eggs. While the use of maggot traps and treatment of manure with hellebore or borax are most effective in reducing the number of flies, it is not likely that they will actually exterminate the pests in any neighborhood. The precaution of screening windows and doors and in particular the protecting of all articles of food with flyproof screens is, therefore, urgently recommended by the department of agriculture. Screening, of course, has no effect upon the number of flies, but it does minimize the danger of infection. Comparatively few people realize how admirably adapted from its structure and habits the fly is to carry disease. The body of the house fly, and especially the legs, are thickly covered with hairs and bristles. As the fly crawls about over the decaying organic matter on which it likes to feed these hairs readily pick up dirt it may be prolonged to as long as from 4 to 5 months. Altogether, it appears that between the time the eggs are laid and the time that the adult fly emerges, a period of from 8 days upwards elapses. Ten and twelve day records were very common in the experiments made to determine this point. Within 3 or 4 days after the emergence of the insect as an adult fly the female is ready to deposit her eggs. Thus, it is possible to have a new generation of flies every 11 to 14 days, and in such a climate as Washington, for instance, this will permit from 10 to 12 generations every summer. The really effective way to get rid of this dangerous pest is to attack it in its favorite breeding place—manure. WHAT IS A WEED In Farmers' Bulletin No. 660, recently issued from the Department of Agriculture a new definition for a weed is suggested. The author of this bulletin in discussing a definition of a weed says, a weed has been defined as a plant out of place. This definition is not entirely satisfactory, for two reasons: (1) Because a plant may be out of place and still not be a weed in the popular sense, as rye growing in a wheat field or Kentucky bluegrass in an alfalfa field, and (2) because a plant may not be out of place and still be a weed, as is described in a subsequent section of this bulletin on the good points about weeds. In reality a weed is a wild plant that has the habit of intruding where not wanted. The old definition by which a weed was called a plant out of place, while a very catchy phrase, does not clearly represent usage. The hundreds of wild plants which inhabit a field which is not planted to crops are in common usage called weeds; yet the vast majority of these plants are decidedly in place and are serving a useful purpose through adding organic matter to an impoverished soil. While ordinarily all these benefits may be realized through proper rotations, in the absence of the practice of such rotations these wild plants serve a useful purpose and are in place, yet usage which invariably determines a definition decrees that they are weeds. They are weeds through the fact that they are wild and have the habit of intruding where not wanted, even though they may at some time serve a useful purpose. through the openings in the slatted platform into the water below and are drowned. Each week the drain should be opened and the dead maggots washed from the floor of the trap into the cistern near by. A platform 10 by 20 feet in size will hold the manure from 4 horses during a period of four months, or from 25 horses for about 20 days. The slats should be 1-inch strips with one-half to one inch spaces between them. Experience with maggot traps has brought out the fact that these are most effective when the manure is kept compactly heaped and well moistened. This is due to the larvae's desire to find a comparatively dry place in which to pupate and, consequently, they crawl away from wet manure. Wherever possible, therefore, it is advantageous to preserve the liquid manure both in order to molsten the pile and because of its own fertilizing value. In the second place, the platform should stand not less than 1 foot above the concrete floor in order that the floor may be more easily cleaned. A third point is that old manure does not attract flies for breeding. A lot of manure need remain on the maggot trap but 10 days in order to prevent any breeding taking place in it. The maggot trap thus presents the great advantage of being easily constructed and cheap. That it is effective, the experiments at the Maryland agricultural college have conclusively shown. There it was found that it destroyed 99 per cent of the larvae breeding in the manure and that the number of flies around the college kitchen was reduced by between 67 and 76 per cent. That the reduction in the number of flies was not equal to the percentage of larvae destroyed was due to the fact that there were other piles of untreated manure elsewhere in the vicinity and that flies bred in these. Such traps may be built recommended by the department of agriculture. Screening, of course, has no effect upon the number of flies, but it does minimize the danger of infection. Comparatively few people realize how admirably adapted from its structure and habits the fly is to carry disease. The body of the house fly, and especially the legs, are thickly covered with hairs and bristles. As the fly crawls about over the decaying organic matter on which it likes to feed, these hairs readily pick up disease germs and carry them to the human foods which the fly subsequently visits. The fly is continually passing from piles of refuse and filth to kitchens and dining rooms, and in each one of these journeys it can with the greatest ease bring with it the germs of any intestinal disease. Typhoid, Asiatic cholera, dysentery, and infantile diarrhea are among the diseases which are known to be transmitted in this way, and there is very strong evidence that tuberculosis, anthrax, opthalmia, smallpox, and other diseases are carried through the same medium. It has also been demonstrated that not only are disease germs carried in this mechanical way upon the legs and body of the fly, but that these germs flourish abundantly within the fly itself and that they can be deposited by the fly upon human beings or upon human food. The danger from the fly is greatly increased by the extraordinary rapidity with which the insect multiplies. The common house fly includes perhaps 98 or 99 per cent of all the flies ordinarily found in and around dwellings. A single female lays eggs at least two, and possibly four times in the course of its life and averages probably 120 eggs on each occasion. These eggs usually hatch in less than 24 hours. Indeed, under favorable conditions, maggots may issue from them in 8 hours. These maggots grow rap- impoverished soil. While ordinarily all these benefits may be realized through proper rotations, in the absence of the practice of such rotations these wild plants serve a useful purpose and are in place, yet usage which invariably determines a definition decrees that they are weeds. They are weeds through the fact that they are wild and have the habit of intruding where not wanted, even though they may at some time serve a useful purpose. CALIFORNIA THE RAISIN STATE Practically all the raisins and dried grapes produced in the United States are California products. According to the last census the production of raisins and dried grapes over the whole country amounted to 169,245,101 pounds, and of this total, California furnished 169,210,679 pounds. It is estimated that there are now 110,000 acres planted to raisin grapes in California. In 1913 the raisin production was estimated at 130,000,000 pounds, and in 1914 at 196,000,000 pounds. LIVE STOCK IN ALASKA Live stock has not received as much attention as crop production in Alaska, but enough has been done to show that there are considerable possibilities in this line. Grasses grow luxuriously in the interior valleys, and forage crops of various kinds can be grown successfully in all parts of the territory. One handicap, however is the difficulty of curing forage in the damp weather generally prevailing. It is proposed to meet this difficulty at least in part by the use of silos.

The complaints against the robin have dwelt on his fondness for cherries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, pears, peaches, prunes, grapes, and even olives in California. The 'bluebirds' consumption of cultivated fruits seems more limited, being practically confined to cherries, raspberries, and black berries, and its fruit-eating period is very short, being only from late fall to early spring when the insects which it prefers are scarce.
