A circular from the Department
of Agriculture urges farmers to pro
tect swallows as being the very
best friend the farrrer possesses.
These birds are classified as tree
swallows, barn swallows, bank
swallows, cliff swallows and the
purple martin, all of which are eat
ing birds and the natural enemy of
the weevil. From the standpoint
of the farmer and orchardists per
haps no birds are more useful than
the swallows. They eat nothing
of value to man except a few pre
daceous wasps and bugs and in re
turn for this work only ask protec
tion and harborage.

New Gigging Law Dangerous.
Fish In Pennsylvania Streams May Bo Wiped
Out.
The adverse reports of the ward
ens of the State department of fish
eries has led many fishermen to be
lieve that the supply of fish in
Pennsylvania streams will be entire
ly wiped out in the near future
through the operations of the new
gigging law.
Reports are pouring in that no
attention is paid to the provisions
of the law, which confines gigging
to carp, mullets and eels. The
wardens say that the giggers go
out in large numbers and take any
kind of a fish that they can get on
the prongs.

To Make Hunters Careful.
Deer hunters all over the State
are considerably agitated over a
bill recently approved by the Gov
ernor, which prohibits the shoot
ing of any except a male deer with
horns that can plainly be seen. A
doe, fawn or spike buck cannot be
killed, but only those bucks whose
horns are developed and which can
plainly be seen by the hunter.
The object of this is not so much
to protect the game as it is to pro
tect the hunter. The statistics show
that hundreds of men are killed by
careless hunters, who see a bush
waving or a movement in the under
brush, and blaze away at it, only to
furnish a subject for the Coroner.
State Game Commissioner Kalb
fus was instrumental in having the
new law passed, and says that there
will be very few accidental killings
in Pennsylvania hereafter, if the
hunters obey the law and holdback
their fire until they are certain the
target is a male deer with horns.
Still, many of the hunters are up
iu arms concerning the new law.

ABOUT SPRAYING.
Trees In Blossom Should Not Bo Trealod.
Occasionally we hear of persons
spraying blossoms and are surpris
ed to know that in this advanced
knowledge concerning spraying
and fruit growing any person who
owns even a single tree would be
so blind to his own interests as to
attempt to spray that tree while in
bloom. The first and primary
reason for not spraying wlnle in
bloom is that the spray liquid is
quite liable to f ill upon the very
u.-hcate and teiuhr petal or central
part of the flower and destroy it.
Thus he would kill the fruit, just
as would i.evere frost coming at the
same time. If the person should
anticipate a crop of fruit that would
be entirely too heavy and should
desire to thin it, he might use the
spray pump to aid him in so doing,
but this would be a very undesir
able and inadvisable method of at
tempting to thin fruit.
The second reason for not spray
ing while in bloom is that by so do
ing bees and other insects which
are depended uHn to carry pollen
from flower to flower are liable to
be killed by such spray. At the
base of flower petals are nectar
glands secreting nectar for the pur
pose of attracting insects of various
kinds and their function in turn is
to carry the yellow flower dust or
pollen from one flower to another
and thus insure cross fertilization.
In many flowers there are condi
tions by which cross fertilization is
entirely impossible, and no seed or
fruit would be produced were it not
for the agency of such insects as
the bees. Thus even if a person
be not a bee keeper, it becomes
quite important for him as a fruit
grower to preserve the bees that
are flying about the blossoms of the
fruit trees, and avoid any action
that might destroy them.
The third reason for not spraying
while in bloom is that there is noth
ing for which to spray at this par
ticular time, and it is too early to
spray for the codling moth, and
there, will be no decidedly benefi
cial results to come from spraying
at such a time. It is by all means
best to wait until after the petals
or showy parts of the flower drop,
and then spray with the Bordeaux
mixture to which is added Paris
green or arsenate of lead. The
Bordeaux mixture is made by dis
solving four pounds of bluestone of
Sulphate of Copper in fifty gallons
of water and adding six pounds of
lime, slacked, and made into a milk
of lime and strained. To this fifty
gallons of the Bordeaux mixture
add either one-third pound of Paris
green or two pounds of arsenate of
lead. Spray well over the trees
just after the blossoms fall and you
will kill the codling moth, which
is the insect that causes the wormy
apples, pears and quinces, and also
the curculio, which punctures
plums, cherries and other fruits.
Repeat this spray in about ten days
and no other spray will be neces
sary for the codling moth.
An Old-fashioned Campaign in 1 08.
From Leslie's Weekly.
The abounding pros perity which
the country has had for several
years thus stands a chance to be
interrupted in 1907, and if the in
terruption should come it migut
have an influence in politics. The
prosperity has made votes for the
Republicans. Adversity would en
courage the Democrats to make a
harder canvas in 1908 than they
otherwise would put up. It would
also alter the issue by putting the
tariff at the front. Should hard
times come there would be a halt
in the programme for additional
legislation against railways and
other big corporations, and the
tariff would be assailed by the
Democrats as an alleged cause of
the set-back in business. The Re
publicans would rally round the
tariff as one of the factors in the
country's industrial expansion.
Thus we would have an old-fashioned
campaign, with the tariff as
the paramount issue, and all the
recent burning questions would be
cast into the background.
