Fortunately there are several species
of parasites that help to keep this in
sect in check. In young orchards the
1arval cases are easily picked off dur
ing winter. They may then be burned
or, what is probably better, carried to
a considerable distance from their food
plants. and left on the ground, thus al
lowing the parasites to develop and es.
cape. The leaf-crumpler larvae are also
liable to destruction by spraying with
paris green or London purple, and may
easily be held in check in this way. In
orchards regularly sprayed for the cod
lin moth this, as well as other leaf.eat-
ing apple pests, will rarely prove
troublesome. Not only should all the
larval cases possible be picked off dur.
ing winter, but spraying should be
commenced early also. The larvae are
more easily and profitably destroyed
while young and tender, and before
they have done much damage to the
leaves and flower buds. One great rea-
son why fruit growers often fail to
keep insect as we'll as fungus enemies
in check is because they neglect the
spraying until the harm is done.-

Two American poets-Maurice
Thompson and James Whitcomb Riley
both charming writer's, have recently
published poems containing two lines
precisely the same, as follows:
He pursed his lips and puffed his cheeks,
And blew, and blew, and blew.
One OF them applied the lines to the
ancient god Pan, and the other to the
south wind. Maurice Thompson de
clares the lines were strictly origina,
with him, and James Whitcomb Riley
swears they are his own.

THUS encouraged, ran forward and
leaped aboard the moving engine. Then
crept into the tender and seated my
self where would be hid from the OBJ
servation of anyone who might pass
along the train. knew that the brake
man would shield me if he could, but l
must not allow the conductor to dis
cover my presence.
THE train was now moving faster
and faster, and the clatter of wheels
over a joint in the rails told me that we
were passing over the switch and on to
the main track.
'We soon struck the long, steep
grade, and moved very slowly. There
is level space, a quarter of a mile
long, perhaps, just below the last
grade of two miles. We had reached
this, and were starting up the last
grade, when the engine stuck.
II heard the loud, rapid putting OF
the locomotive as the wheels slipped
on the track, and then the train grad
ually came to standstill. Then we
began to move backward, and l knew
we were backing on to the level space
to get new start.
THE train moved pretty fast down
the grade, and I rightly guessed that
the engineer was out of humor.
1--WE had crossed the level space and
reached the down grade below it, when
we were brought almost to standstill.
The engine gave loud snort, then
there came a rafting of cars as it be-
gan to move forward again. Then
felt violent jerk, l heard something
break, and the engine on which 1 was
riding stopped, while the train moved
on up the track.
THE violent pull given by the exas.
perated engineer had broken the
coupling, and was being left behind.
Il knew that the break would soon
be discovered, and when the conductor
should come back toinvestigate the &C
cident, l would be found and put of
the train.
"As soon as I realized this, I began
to look hastily about me for some

Scarcely had 1 gained the shelte,

Work and Worry.

"Work, but don't worry" says the
old song, but we do not know about
the worrying A little anxiety is
good thing in its way; it is an incentive
to work in every department. 1t is a
very pleasant thing to take everything
in the serenest way possible, but so far
as our observation goes very serene

cient ones. While the virtue of patience
should not be lost. freedom from anx-
iety is not always practicable If desira-
BILE. A man who has no anxiety about
his business is pretty sure, before long,
to have no business about which to be
concerned. Are we then pleading for
disquiet? No; only that we are not in
different to things, the accomplishment
of which we have at heart; and where
we are not Indifferent we are anxious;
there is no middle ground.

HANDY HARNESS HOOK.

One That Can BE Made from Strips Of

BY far too many farmers, instead OF
hanging up the harness and collar
after being used, throw them upon the
floor, across the wagon scat, upon
benches, and if in the stable the
chances are that they are temporarily
thrown across the division between
the stalls. All of this careless and
shiftless way of doing business is cas-
lily avoided by having plenty of strong
iron or wooden hooks placed in some
convenient part of the wagon house.

Referring recently to Speaker Reed,
we said that the Democratic party kept
twenty years behind the times. The Hun
terd07a Democrat retorts in effect that the
Democratic party does not want to keep
up with the Republican party In the mat
ter of ''the billion dollar appropriations
Its Congress made" and asserts that t'they
[the Democratsl were slow enough to
leave over hundred millions Of dollars
in the treasury when Grover Cleveland
handed the keys to Mr.. Harrison"
The Democrat is excellent on assertions
but not so good on "figgers" 1t handles
the latter too recklessly.
There is no evidence to sustain the as-
seriion that the appropriations are extra
VACANT, or that they reach 'billion dol
lars" or that they are improper or uu-
called for.
A part of the increase 10 the amount Of
appropriations made by the late Congress
was owing to $2s, 900, 900 deficiency in
appropriations TO pension account by the
last Democratic Congress, and $50, 900, 900
more were added to the Deficiency bill
owing to the ECONOMY" of the late DEM
ocratic administration in "saying" by al
lowing bills to go unpaid, and which the
Congress just adjourned had to provide
for. If the Democrats had paid their
bills, there would have been but $780,
600, 900, instead of 800, 900, 900, to "turn
over to Mr.. Harrison, and the Democrat
ohouid also call Its attention TO the fact
that the "enormous surplus that the
Democratic orators howled about before
the election of Cleveland, dwindled down
actually to 500, 900, 900 at the close of
Cleveland's term.
After all, the Democrats are not SO
slow spending money as they are in other
directions, as may be clearly seen by the
transactions above mentioned and by the
doings of our recent State legislature.

The Democratic and Mugwump free
trade organs keep up their false state
ments about the Mckinley bill, and con-
tinue to assert that there are no tin mines
in this country. How little dependence
is to be placed upon anything they say,
is seen from the following :
The Temescal tin mines In San Bernadi-
no county, California, were discovered
more than twenty years ago, but until the
passage of the Mckinley bill they remain
ed idle. Now British syndicate has
bought them and is putting up a plant
costing $1,000 600. More than 800 men
are at work at wages ranging from $1.75
to $500 day. Immense deposits of tin
ore have been discovered in the western
slope of the Blue Ridge, few miles north
of Ashley's Gap, and 100000 COM
pany of Virginia and Maryland capitalists
has been organized to develop them. Pre-
parations are moving steadily forward for
the development of the tin deposits 10 the
vicinity of Savernake, Virginia. Great ac-
tivity prevails In the Dakota tin region.
Capitalists will shortly engage in mining
and smelling the tin ores of the Llano dis
trict of Texas. These great industries in
widely separated sections would never
have been undertaken had not protection
been applied to the metal and its manu-
featured products. --Mant.fdcturers' Re-
