F. M. AVebator all: The cankor worm, the ttnt caterpultw, leafrollpra and nher native lcnf cating insects, find Instead of an occasional wild cherry tree, wild crabapple tree or wild plum tree, whole acres of improved varieties of these, acres upon acres of 'rasp be try, blackberry, strawberry and grape. Grass feeding InHocta find hundreds and thousands of acres ol grassy plants more tender and juicy han the natural grasses. Is it nny vender that nntive Insects, before onflned to a less number of less tiltful trees, with an occasional year l:at permitted almost no fruit at all grow, thus almost exterminating hem, should, under such favorable ;'nlitlons as are offered by our pros- lit system of fruit, vegetable and grain culture, thrive and increase in numbers far beyond what they would under less artificial and less favor able surroundings? We first create an environment, unnatural and vastly mure favorable than the original for fbo development of Insect enemies of ov.r crops, and bring about the very condition that these Insects are In tinded to prevent, and then wonder ?'hy It la that they do what 13 tho most i.:.tural thine In the world for them feed and breed in the midst of plenty. It has always seemed to me that the f:u!t grower who planted out bis or '1 ards, vineyards and berry fields, and gave them no . protection from tludr natural enemies, was doing what a commanding general would do if he were to send a division of his nrmy into the enemy's country and t.cr. support it with other troop. It is us plain as can possibly be that the fruit-grower must ve artificial meas ures to fight tile enemies of his crops, if he expects to succeed. The present enndtt'ons are now what they nre. arid we cannot now change them. This being true, It Is manifestly the proper course to mirsuc. In seeking by artificial means to counteract, so far as possible, the adverse, effect of theie present conditions. Thus, the spraying of plants with insectlcldas and fungicides becomes imperative. Farmers' Review. HOW TO KEEP ROOTS. Liver? PnrnuT Who Kerpa Stock Should Hoi Id a 8ultautiul Cellar for Tlieut. Roots are one of the common feeding crops of Canada and the northern states. They are a crop it pays to winter prop erly. My root cellar is 24x30 feet and en feet high, having stone sides. The :.of is first covered with three-inch cdar plank, then with a covering of awdust six inches thick, and a shingled oof with space between to keep out the ost. There Is an alleyway at entrance A cellar nix feet long. . Doors close tight BUBSTANTIAL ROOT CELLAR. to both cellar and alley. There are three windows, one at each side and one at end. These are well banked In winter. Hoots are aired from doorway dur ing severe weather. There is also a loose stone wall, built four feet high around the cellar about four feet from wall of cellar. The space between is filled with clay six feet high. There is no danger of roots freezing even In cold est winters. , In such a cellar they winter perfect ly. I winter over 1,500 bushels Swedes; 2,000 bushels could be put In, but If too many are together they are liable to heat and spoil. I keep turnips until there Is green feed ready to cut in the fields for my show sheep and lambs. The cel 'nr shown was built about 35 years ego. Material was cheaper then, but such a cellar would cost here now from $200 to $2fi0. Mine are well built and will last many winters yet. Henry Arkell, in Farm and Home. Cabhnse 'Worm Remedlea. The only sure and abiding remedy for cabbage worm, says an authority, Is a small handful of fine sawdust. It 13 cheap, sure, harmless and effectual. Probably the best and cheapest way to combat worms on cabbages Is simply to sprinkle salt on the Infested heads. From the moment the salt is applied the worms cease to feed, and In an hour or two they drop from the heads to the ground. Get five cents' worth of cayenne pepper, put it in the teakettle and make a strong tea. When cool put It In a bottle and squirt some on each head or sprinkle out of a pan with a whisk broom. The Art of Trnuaplnntlnif, Bet plants into freshly turned soil so that moist earth will come into contact with the fine roots. A rainy, or at least a cloudy, day late in the afternoon Is a favorable time. Make the bole about the depth of the root, Insert plant and press the earth closely and firmly to the roots. In dry weather press the soil with t toot, and then go over lightly with a rake to stir the surface and to hold In the moisture. Kbtp the plant wet during sotting. Ten minutes of wilting either before or after Betting would often set tle the fate of Uie plant. American Cultivator. The automobile craze has opened a "tew field for the Impecunious woman lu high Siiulety, and many are making much money acting a agents for the var-Iout makes of machines, says a London ro port. An rtali; woman of title le kt.own to have sold, williln tlx i.ionths, five h;gh power cars and It smaller ones, and made In commission about $15,000. There was no trouble in making ths transactions, for all she had to do was to tell her wealthy friends that her eat was the best on the market, and give hei card to the intending purchaser, to be presented to the maker. To help his titled agent, the manufac turer places a ear, ometlmes two, at her disposal, usually at her country house, sends down competent chauffeurs in smart uniforms, and keeps the cars In thorough going order, knowing well that n good run is more likely to Influence a prospective purchaser than most thing?. She manner to get some wealthy friends for a visit, and then talks mo tor from morning to night, and gives them rides until they are fit subjects fot buying. Some of the smart women make addi tional profits by selling the cars placed at their disposal on the spot for $500 more than the price, and then paying for the machines so sold, at their leisure, at the regular price, liss the commission. DEAF-MUTES NEVER GIDDY. Vcrtlwo Seema to lie One of the 111" to W liloh They Are Kever Subject. It Is a singular fact, vouched for by those who have investigated the subject, that, a deaf can whirl around Inter mlnably without seeming to suffer In r.ny way from vertigo. "I have seen them do It repeatedly," said a phyrfclan If'rtr connected with a deal and dumb institute, "and their perform snces bear out a theory of Pr. William James, the Harvard psycholo gist the brother, you know, of Henry James, the novelist. There Is a certain tube, connecting with the ear, that Is the seat, according to William James, of our sense of dizziness and vertigo. In deaf-mutes this tube is deranged. Therefore, according to James' theory, deaf-mutes should be incapable of suf fering vertigo. "The psychologist experimented on this matter at Harvard; he had hundreds ol deaf and normal persons spinning round like these children for him. And the result of the experiment bore him out. Out of a large number of mutes most were proof against vertigo, and the bal ance only suffered It slightly. Of 300 Harvard students submitted to the same test, but one showed vertigo In a very marked form. Thus James proved that the deaf are immune to dizziness. The boys at the Mount Airy Institution prove the same thing." THE MEANING OF MUSIC. Tone Ilnve Their Specific Eiprei- lon Jual na Much aa Spoken Worda. "Music is a science more exact than most people suppose." said a violinist, reports the Philadelphia Ledger. "You can't, tor instance, say different things with the same tones In music any more than you can say different things with the same words in English or French, 'black' means 'black' in English; never under any circumstances can It mean 'white.' In the same way, In music, a major third expresses an Interrogation or an appeal, never anything else, and this appealing quality becomes exceed ingly marked In the fourth descending, while the fourth ascending advances from Interrogation to affirmation and finally to command. Major and minor fifths travel by regular gradations from prayer to desire, and from desire to menace. Sixths express passion all love music is written in sixths. To a semi-tone higher, and this love, this passion, becomes a painful, an em- mous, an ill-starred one. Sevenths ex press grief, tragedy. Perhaps you think I am exaggerating here, but I assure you I am not. What I claim you will find claimed In many treatises on mu sic, and if you will study the works of the composers, you will find that they, too, bear me out." Make the Tropica Cnntrlhnte. Development of the great natural re sourcesofthetroplcalbelt oftheearth is, In the opinion of Hon. O. P. Austin, chief of thtybureau of statistics, a necessity for the future progress of the world. Although this belt contains practically one-half of the land area of the globe, It now contributes but one-sixth of the exports which enter Into International commerce. With the growing popula tion of the world, and the Increase of fa cilities for transportation, a change should be wrought In thU respect Sci ence has shown how life and health can be protested in the tropics, and India, southern China, and other oriental coun tries contain populations capable of la boring, and willing to labor, In the trop ics. Finally, Mr. Austin points out that In comparatively recent years practi cally all the troplps.exrept tropical Amer ica, have been brought under the con trol of temperate-zone countries.

Three-sevenths of the total colonial ter ritory of the world, Egypt and the Sou dan Included, belongs to Great Britain. Two of the Cah at the aquarium wear irmor and carry concealed weapons. As the police seldom visit the aquari um and no complulnts have be.m tiled, the fish have not becu disturbed in tiie possession of their auuauienls, says the Now York Tribune. Tiicy 'are the or ange flletlsh, which are coaled with a tlUn that resembles sandpaper In tho la tier's most striking characteristic, and in a hollow on the top of the bacK they carry sharp threo-corucred files. When not in use these lie along the back. When a grudge is to be settled the file fish literally eotB his back up and vi ciously tickles the object of his hatred In the ribs. The two specimens at the aquarium were secured a short time ago In Gravescnd bay. The fishermen In the neighborhood of the bay have other names for them. "Old sow," "old maid" and "foolflsh" art some of the designa tions which they apply to them when they sit over the lire and spin yarns. The shape of tho head and mouth is responsible for these names. The mouth opens upward, the lower jaw pro truding beyond the upper. Crustaceans are the diet of this fish, and the shape of the mouth and the sharp teeth with in are for catching and destroying this kind of food. One would say, Judging from their appearance, that their diet was not well suited to their needs, for they have a starved lexik. The other day a party of sightseers observed this look. "Here's a fish trying the starvation cure," remarked one, turning to his companions. "There's something the matter with him. Don't you see how thin he Is?" CORRECTED HIS MISTAKE. I Klondike UtntlHt" Oot the Hltflit Tooth l.nter On und Churuetl for It. High prices often prevail iu frontier towns, and those who live lu new settle ments become accustomed to the charges and think little about It. A mau who recently returned from the Klondike tells a good story which is printed in the Now York Tribune. People get used to paying big money for triiles, he said, and two dollars lor a box of sardines or five dollars for a pound of bad coffee came to bo regarded as reasonable prices. But once I had the surpribe of hearing an unexpectedly low price named. It was like this: I had a jumping toothache was nearly wild with it and went to a shanty where I was told there was a dentist. A rough-looking follow told me that he was the dentist, and I asked htm to draw my tooth. He looked me over, got his forceps fastened on my tooth and yanked it out after a couple of bard twists. I "How mttch?' I asked. ' "Well, two dollars, I guess," said the dentist. I paid him, although my Jaw still ached badly. "That's the cheapest thing I've seen j round here," I remarked, as I gave him uie money. "Well," he said, "I thought I'd make It low, because on account of tho bad light I pulled the wrong tooth." I had to go the next day and have the bad tooth out, and he made matters square by charging me ten dollars. INDIAN BANK DEPOSITORS. Red Men of Knnana Are Learning Hoi to Put Anny Their Money I. Ike. While Men. The Lawton Enterprise states that many Indians near Its city have learned how to take care of their money. Near ly every bank In Lawton has several Indian cash deposits, says the Kansas City Journal. A week ago a withered squaw with buckskin leggings and moccasins went to the bank. From under a leather thong which she wore as a substitute for a belt she produced a leather pouch, with fringe and beads. From out of this receptacle she produced a little buckskin sack. After fumbling about in it she secured a small purse. Tucked Into the corner of it was a wad of paper twisted smaller than the end of your lit tle finger. She began to untwist and unfold the wad with the care of a spe cialist performing an operation on the human eye. Gradually the paper developed into a crumpled deposit check. She had some difficulty in explaining to the teller how much money she wanted. She signed with her hand, grunted, held up her brown fingers. Finally he understood, grunted three times and she grunted one and smiled when the sum that she asked for was handed over. I A Kali Houae. According to a Washington story i writer President Roosevelt says that the incident on his long trip that 1 amused him most occurred at a small : town in Kansas, where a two-minute Btop was made. The president bad been . talking freely of his "race suicide" no tion that day, says the Kansas City 1 Journal. At the station in Kansas a man stood holding three small children on his shoulder and a woman close be side him carried two babies. The presi dent's speech was going along smooth ly when suddenly the man with three children broke In with a voice that could be beard a quarter of a mile. "Hey! Teddy," he snouted, -can you beat this? It's a full house, Teddy- triplets and twins; three of a kind and a pair!" Coal I.nnda for Indiana.

A search for this minute fraction of tinie that Is costing huudieds of thou sands of dollars Is under way, and It will be continued till tho lost Is found, for its recovery Is of world-wide Im portance, states the New York World. If one grain of sand on the shore of the ocean were lost and scientists wr to spend years In trying to find It, their search would seem to be little mora hopeless and unimportant than thl.4 task, upon which the leading astron omers of England and France are now working. The sixteenth of a second Is missing between the sun's time as recorded at Greenwich and as understood in Paris. The failure to discover the discrepancy In observations may change1 the nation ality of thousands of people. Longitude is calculated on the basis of Greenwich time. Tan boundaries of countries are determined by the cal culations at this famous observatory. If the Paris calculations and not the Greenwich observations are fo'jnd cor rect, boundaries may be moved miles. No expense Is being spared to tracts the missing fraction.

MASSAGE BY THE BLIND. London Inatltiillnn to Open ew Oc cupation for Whleh They Are revullnrljr Ailupteil, There is to be a very new field ot work opened for tho blind by the Lon don Institute for Massage by the Blind, which Is about to be started under a com mittee that Includes many representa tive medical men. It is not an experi ment. It has proved that the blind can become expert in the practice of mas sage, which in J.ipau is commonly rec ognized as their work, reports the Phil adelphia Press, The occupations open to the blind are few and rarely remuner ative.. The difficulty is one of the gravest obstacles to the Improvement of the condition of this afflicted class. There are already several blind masseurs in that country. Home 500 is needed, and central rooms are then to be secured under a hospturl matron. Blind stu dents must obtain first-class medical cer tificates in an art'which Is daily more used, especially by surgeons In sprains and bruises, and masseuses will be al lowed to treat only women and children and masseurs only men. The whole scheme needs only to be mentioned to be approved. It is also worthy of note that the blind are usually endowed with a sense of touch exceptionally fine, bo that here, and perhaps here alone, Is a field In which they may surpass their seeing brothers, massage being depend ent for its success upon the nicety of its application, dependent In Its turn on the nicety of the operator's tactile sense. CHEESES OF ALL COUNTRIES. Some Famllinr Klnda That Have De come Well Liked la the I lilted Statea. Each country has its favorite cheese. The Swiss make the gruyere cheese. It Is made of goats' milk, and is full of holes, caused by the gases In fermenta tion. The typical English cheese Is the cheddar, first made in the English town after which it is named. Brie is a popular French soft cheese; and camembert, originating in Nor mandy, Is another. These cheeses are cured In caves, whero the temperature never rises above 12 to 14 degrees. Roquefort, a celebrated French cheese, Is made from the mingled milk of goats and sheep that browse on the thyme-clad banks of the Arno. These cheeses are also ripened In caves, but the temperature Is kept at 40 degrees. Akin to the roquefort cheese is that called gorgonzola, mado In Italy after similar processes. It is milder than roquefort, and not quite so good; but It sold much cheaper. Another Italian cheese, the parmesan, Is very hard, and Is usually grated. Llmburgor cheese, so beloved by the Germans, originated In Belgium. It is. extraordinarily rich, being allowed to- ripen by putrefaction, hence its hor rifying odor to unaccustomed nostrils. Some persons hRve a saying: "Gor gonzola Is a chtese to swear by, 11m- burger to swear at!
