Now the remedy for this is very SIM

when they blow their lights out to turn
the wick low enough for the top of it
to be below the edge of the burner this
annoyance would be averted. They
blow out the light, never thinking TO
turn down the wick. and. as the sue

some time after the light is extin-
guished. the oil will spread over the

The Red Snake OF New Mexico.

The pinon snake is an inhabitant of
the mountains of New Mexico and is
never seen in any other section Of
country. The season Of the year when
this reptile is ripe il during the
months of July and August. The SER

he is of a dusky or Venetian red hue.

A couple of weeks ago . gentleman
from the East went to Coyote canon
and while rummaging about the place
one of there serpents ran out OF the
tree and then disappeared. When the
snake first appeared the gentleman
was startled, buL when he saw the
thing in the road he became frightened
and could not move from his tracks,
and it was only after the red reptile
had disappeared that he recovered his
means of locomotion and fed precipi-

lost all interest for him and, mounting
his horse. he came to Albuquerque inn
bued with the idea that he had been
drinking too much.
He said nothing about the matter,
and had concluded that he had been
afflicted with an optical illusion until
he overheard an old timer detailing
his experience with one of these red
snakes of the mountains. The gentle
man was prospector, and had spent
years in the rocky fastness Of Colorado.
but among the wonders he had seen
never had there appeared to his vision
q red snake. While prospecting con

he became tired and concluded to rest.
He hunted up large pinon tree, and
rrclined in the shade for nap.
CHANGING to look up into the tree he
saw what he took to be u piece of raw
meat hanging across limb. He got
up and threw stone at the object,
which proved to be pinon snake. The
stone struck the reptile and broke its
back, aud it dropped to the ground.

The Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton has just issued leaflet on the apple
maggot, which contains some valuable sug-
gestions for the farmers of Maine. The ap-
pie maggot in some sections of the State Is
doing an immense amount Of DANCE, and I'M
less checked it will surely spread over the
State. and practically ruin the business of
apple raising. This pest makes roads or
burrows through the pulp OF the apple, and
practically destroys 1t. though it may appear
sound externally. The perfect insect is a two
winged fly, somewhat smaller than the COM
mon house fly, and makes its appearance
about the orchard early in July. They begin to
emerge from the ground early in that month
and.continue for six weeks or two months. The
early ones deposit their eggs on the early
apples, and the late ones on the late apples
Each female is capable of depositing 800
eggs, and they are laid just beneath the skin
of the apple. They hatch in few days, and
then the maggot begins the work of destruc-
tlon by eating his way through the pulp
leaving the apple full of burrows. The mag,
gots remain in the apple until it is ripe. At
ter they mature they leave the apple and 20

state there, and under favorable conditions
come out in the spring. Preventive meas
ures recommended are the keeping OF the
orchards In grass, and Gin the fall or spring
burning to destroy the spupa. If the orch
ard is in cultivation spadng or blowing
would probably destroy them. The maggot
was imported from other States, and legal
enactment to prevent the Importation Of
fruit from infested districts is recommended.
The flies are easily caught, and the pest can
be materially lessened in that way. The
destruction of the windfalls is also highly
important. Finally If the above methods do
not succeed the total destruction of the crop
for year is recommended.

Though Gov. Hill has not got much COM
fort from conventions held out of his State,
he is by no means without consolation. The
New York liquor dealers, who are all his
friends. have been holding convention at
Rochester, n. T.. to take measures to defeat
any legislation hostile to their business, and
secure such as may tend to protect it. Large
Numbers of them were in attendance, and
they were welcomed by the Mayor of Roch-
ester with great cordially. Measures were
taken co extend their organization, and it
was resolved to support no temperance
cranks for Office. AS Hill is no temperance
crank, and will see that no temperance
crank is put upon his ticket this fall, he has
every reason to anticipate the unanimous
support OF these liquor dealers not only with
their votes, but with their money as well.
