ness? Hero,is food enough for all
their gullets, and good sca|y food
for their little gizzards. We give
ii up. We only know they don't
trouble them. We nre obliged to
he lady-bugs for their slight help,
and to the black ants also, but the
increase of the scales is too fast
for these to make any perceptible
impression on the number. But
then the farmer has spare time
enough at this season, if a farmer
ever can be said to have spare
time, for just such work as this,
and there is grain of satisfaction
in seeing the hordes of these she'll
f~h yield and perish before the

slaughter it is seldom mans privi-
Iege to deal. and at the end the
orange tree will deck itself in new

tude every tirae you look at it.
Well, this is what care means.
This is one feature of il. I looked
upon a small grove the other day,
where the trees were full thirty
feet high and yield four or FIVE
thousand oranges apiece, and the
good housewife said II don't

about here, and it's because
they've had good care. It's hard

The North is said to be afraid
Of the South, that it will control
the country, its government and
its policy. With few years of
peace those fears will, in a meas
ure be realized. Not that the peo-
pie will be alrayed against each
other with Mason & Dixon's line
to divide them, on some question
Of political or social interest, but
the majority must rule, and the
genial sky and fertile soil Of the
South will furnish the homes Of
the future iplers of the country.
AS matters are to-day the Missis-
sippi valley controls the United
States. In few years the South
ern portion of the valley will do
the same thing. There is nothing
alarming in this prospect. The in
tegrity OF the country will not be
jeopardized, nor any of its inter-
4Sts prejudioed, by this change of
political power from the East to
the South. --~ Louisiana State

EDITOE FOREST AND STREAM

Southern summer vel! advanced.
Orange trees have thickened up
with new leaves of brilliant green,
and vegetation generally is well
advanced under the treatment of
hot sun and frequent showers.
The average orange grower finds
the insects on his trees alive and
kicking this warm weather, and 60
end of anxiety and also of industry
is bis portion.
There is such cheerful, willing
way in which the trees put out for
their owner. as though they were
going to serve him with their best
endeavors, that one hates to see
anything moiest them. 1t is some
thing Of the same feeling that
prompts one to brush the fiji, s
from his horse or provide him a
net for that purpose, So it hap
pens you see the grove proprietor
out with his scrubbing brush and
suds. You see him cutting away
afected twigs, bringing out his
magnifying glass and making tie
insects look bigger, rs if they were
not already big enough, My friend
Jones says there are seven differ
ent kinds, and proceeds to hunt
for the interesting seven. He finds
two varieties, turns them over on
their backs for some more magni-
flying, and chats about what the
know about orange groves, which
is a great deal.
Inquiry and examination Of this
subject is painful, not to say exas.
pernting. So long rs We knew lit
tie we We're happy, but when we
learn of the many different kinds,
their multiplicity, rapacity, au-
dacity, tenaci'y, voracity, etc, NJ
one can rest until he is hotly
waging a war OF extermina,ion
against them, and hotly enoogh,

$500 pounds of food that might be
given to suffering men, women and
children, it is pleasant to turn to the
Boston papers and see how very far
Fido is from losing his rations merely
because human beings suffer. When
the dog show opened in Boston,
few days ago, the event was consid-
cred of 80 much Importance that an
Honorable-tho Honorable john S.
Holmes was produced to make the
first speech. The Honorable Holmes
adorned his sddress with beautiful
story about o maiden who was tied
to stake ON the Solway sands and
left to die. Her dog came to her
and tried to tear away her bonds,
but it was not sufficiently sagacious,
and had to give up the job. Said
the delighted Holmes: "The creamy
tide kissed her feet, and the sea
clasped her knees, and flung its rude
embrace about her neck" Then he
told how the sea swept away the
dog and the maiden. But the mos.
beautiful portion of the sweet
Holmes remarks are yet to come.
Let US hasten to them, lest the reck-
less breeze watt the clipping out Of
the near window. Said he, in an
elevated tone fare dogs immor-
tai 2" Then, without pausing for a
reply, he shut off all argument. I" In
my opinion" be cried, :" at this mo-.
ment the maiden stands, clad in
white and shining raiment, near the
Throne, and her dog lies at her feet !"
The impression'of outside barbarians
is that Mr. Holmes had been eating
too many beans, but it was only
Boston culture that allied him. 1t
has to come out in some way, and a
dog show generally fetches it,
