Ants in the Chinese Orange
Groves.

Pacific Rural Press.
DIR. G. t. Macgowan has sent Prof.
G. V. Riley, Of the Agricultural Blu
reau, Washington, from Han Chow,
an account OF curious use made of
ants in that part OF China. 1t seems
that in many parts of the province of
Canton the orange trees are injured
by certain worms. and to rid them
selves of these pests the inhabitants
import ants from the neighboring
hills. The hill people, throughout
the summer and winter, find the nests
of two species Of ants, red and yell
low, suspended from the branches Of
various trees The "orange ant
breeders are provided with pig or
goat bladders bated inside with lard,
The orifces OF these they apply to
the entrance OF the bag like nests,
when the ants enter the bladders,
and, as DIR. Macgowan expresses it,
"become marketable commodity at
the orangeries.n The trees are colo
nized by placing the ants on their
upper branches, and bamboo rods are
stretched between the different trees
so as to give The ants easy access to
the whole orchard. This remedy has
been IN constant use at least since 1910,
and probably dates from much
earlier period. 1t is certainly new
way OF utilizing ants, which, as a
rule, are deservedly considered a
nuisance by the hortlculturist.

Remedy fOr Gap4s. in Chickens

From an Exchange. x
Pretty soon sowebody-yes, sew
eral somebodies-- will ask tor rem>
edy for gapes in chickens; but they
will not say wor d about it until
their chicks begin tp die off, and by
the time tie answer reaches them
they will not have live chickens
enough to experiment on. Now a
little timely knowledge is a handy
thing TO have around,so we are going
to "take time by the torelock," and
give you all the information that we
possess about gapes, and we trust
that you will treasure up our words
OF wisdom against the time of need.
In the whole list of chicken ais,
there is no disease, That is more easily
cured than the gapes, ii the chick Is
taken III time.
Concerning this disease, Stoddard
says: The easiest treatment, and it
is sure is TO put some carbolic acid into
spoon, or metal Saucer, and hold it
over lamp dense white fumes will
arise. Hold the chickens head over
this until nearly suffocated; or, shut
the chickens up in a box and tumi
gate all together, Watching closely
lest they be Sutfocated."
We have tried the above remedy,
and know that it will cure when the
chick is apparently at its last gasp.

Havre, has since the 22d of Novem-

crotons and cocoanut trees, all hot~
house plants, as well as palm trees,
champrops and the Pteris Arg1t0
had developed numerous new roots
in the moss. None of these plants
had lost single Leaf, nor had even
faded at the time of their transplant
alton. In fortnight they had com
pletely taken possession Of the moss,
and had thrown out new leaves. In
the chamGrops two or three long
roots of the thickness OF quill had
appeared, one Of the best indications
OF the vigor OF young palm tree.
The old roots had developed guam
tity of fine rootlets. The COc0S b.
mott, and the various kinds OF drac@-
ma, all very delicate, had also pros
duced new roots, and were in perfect
health.
On December 9th he submitted
number Of ordinary greenhouse plants
to the process with complete success.
All the plants preserved their vigor,
and their health continued as if moth

On the 18th, he placed in the fer
tilizing moss Eucalyptus globulous.
This shrub has the reputation OF not
bearing transportation; however, IL
scarcely faded Two Cuphea bazli,
equally difficult subjects, were put
into the moss on the same day, and
gave no appearance of suffering from
the change. The culture in moss Of
the Eucalyptus globulous is the. more
important, as this celebrated shrub
has the property of disintecting the
air, and is beginning to be used in
sick rooms.
1t will be observed that these per-
feet results have been obtained by
practiced horticulturists. Amateurs
must not expect that this process in
any way dispenses with attention to
the ordinary laws OF vegetable lite.
Happy results will depend as hereto.
fore on the degree to which the
plants are loved and cared for.
The object in the cultivation of
vegetables being increased and regu-
lar productiveness, the plan adopted
by the gardener OF Vasceull is to
place their roots, enveloped as above
described, in an ordinary bed OF
mould. The results are most satis>

and cattle on dry muck, he thereby
secures his best fertilizer, tor the
growth of his plants Of all sorts. In
the South, farmers have practice OF
pennIng their cattle on lands which
they design tor some special crop, as
the garden, during the night time,
and of burying their droppings in the

the refuse OF the vegetation consum~
ed by the cattle during the day.
The same may be said OF their liquid
manures, richest Of all. The cow has
added nothing to the value, as plant
food, but rather has taken away.
Why then condemn muck from which
nothing has been taken? Until it is
proven that the chemists laboratory

these last as their teachers, mute

gives good results, 1t will be used.

occurs on the 18th Adar, commentaries the
deliverance Of the children of Israel from the
prosecutions of Haman, through Queen
Esther's appeal TO King Ahasuerus
