A PEST OF PLANTS.
One of the greatest pests of plants
in the greenhouse or in rooms is the
red spider, a very little fellow, but
full of mischief. Whenever the leaves
begin to look unhealthy or to have
a kind of grayish appearance, the
presence of this tiny insect is indi
cated. Water is his great enemy, and
plentiful syringing conquers him. But
care must be taken to apply the water
not only the upper side of the
leaves, but to the under side as well
When the plants are not large, it is
8 good plan to place one or both
hands on top of the pot in such a way
that the soil will not fall when It
is inverted, and then !mmerse the
plant in water for a minute or two.

SHADE FOR POULTRY
While it is possible at this
season to supply shade for the poultry
yard by the use of boards set aslant
against the building or by some
lar makeshift, poultrymen
able to se now, If they did not before,
why shade should be supplied. Bear
this necessity in mind this fall, and in
October set a few trees in the poultry
yard or, if they are not wanted in the
yard, set them close together in rows
just outside the fence. A few native
trees from the woods will answer the
purpose, although fruit will

FEEDING AFTER FOALING
Both mother and young
housed at night in a roomy stall, and
food must be given which stimulates
the flow of milk, such as boiled roots
and bran mashes; of
being dropped off as the grass comes.
The usual allowance of oats should be
continued, for the mare's aystem re
quires as much feeding to produce
milk as to produce work. A mare
and foal do best when they have a
little fleld to themselves. A mare
with a foal should, of course, do no
work at all;
great danger that the exertion and
sweating of the mother will react on
the milk and make it deleterious to
the foal. In addition to this if the
foal Is shut up while the mother is
at work It goes hungry foo long. and
may suffer in another way Many
farmers, of course, manage work

even allowing the foal to run along

but it 13 unquestionably best to let
them run wholly at grass, at least at
first—P. McConnell ia the Massachu-

HE government of the Moro province is, In general, called upon to
promote the natural deve'opment of these people, and not to
“Americanize” them, after the manner of the American Indians.
The conditions are altogether different, and in this particular the
problem Is simpler than was the Indian problem. The Indians
ware an exceedingly sparse population, occupying a land which
the white race needed for the purpose of establishing homes. For
centuries hoats of homescekers have been crowding into the lands held by a
few Indians too primitive to real'y use the land over which they and their
ancestors had freely roamed. The manifest destiny of the red man has been
and is either assimilation with the white race or with the ashes of his an-
cestors. The fact that the changes he {a called upon to make are contrary to
the laws of nature as reveal:d in the history ¢f human development, that at
best he cannot be expected to become more than an inferior imitation white
man, may add a touch of pathos to his destiny, but cannot alter it. On the
other hand, the peoples of this province are ¢ ymparatively numerous, aad thelr
lands are at present neither needed nor desired for homes by the white race,
White men are here to make money, not to make homes. They are not likely
to become predominant in numbers for some centuries to come They are sure
to be an important, though transient, element in the population; but their
interests must be bound up in those of the lower ps oples. The development
of these peoples can be best promoted with due and full regard for the laws of
nature as revealed In history,

They are not influenced by the truism that the
posed of the best units. nor do they depend upon
“command of the sea” as their pereptual refrain. Neither are the answers
to them anywhere discernible in what Nelson or Lord Howe did, or in the
dusty archives of libraries of naval annals. They belong to the future and
not to the past, and the world nesds clear, practical brains for their solution,
and not those supersaturated with antiquated and obsolete traditions.
The most immediate of questions is whether thers any protection
obtainable by any method or means for the bottoms f battleships against
torpedoes. It is widely believed, for example, that by devoting less weight
to superstructure and guns, and more to strengthening the framing and bot
tom plates, a hull can be made which will resist such attacks. This would
probably involve elimination of the intermediate battery and the re
striction of battleship guns to a few of the largest calibre—a result not im
practicable in view of the great celerity we have recently attained in work:
ing these huge cannon. [t also would probably require the giving up of some
speed, as well as of armored protection at the ends of the ship. This, at
