BLACKBERRY INSECTS.


Gail Makers and Borers snd How to GeS
Rid OF Them.
In certain of the blackberry regions.
according to Insect Life, q number Of
insect depredators have been noticed
and their habits studied. One of the
most destructive of these Is the red
necked blackberry cane borer (Agrttus
rufcolAs). The eggs Of this borer are
laid at the base Of leaf stalks, or in the
buds before starting. When these eggs
hatch, the young borer enters the
stalk and makes corkscrew track be-
tween the wood and the bark. continu-
ing until about the first Of August By
that time some are half an inch long
and reasonably stout while others are
less than Auarter Of an inch long and
of almost no diameter Usually the
borer makes spiral path going
When this is the case, gals are formed
on the stalks and the location of the
borer may be known by them. Some-
times, however. the borer will make
but two or three turns, and while yet
small, will pierce the wood and enter
the pith No gall is then made and
the position of the borer cannot then
be determined Raspberries which are
infested with borers form no gals, and
1t may be that varieties of blackberries
supposed to be exempt from borers
simply form no gals when attacked
The only remedy is the knife and fire.
Cut off the infested shoots below the
gals in early spring and burn them.
Worn out bushes or patches must be
destroyed, as these form breeding
places and all efforts to keep the bear

Curiositics About Bees.

II Is estimated that bees, in order to
collect one pound Of honey, must
visit and extract all the nectar con-
tanned in 81, 900 heads OF clover OF the
average size. This herculean task (for
the bees) would necessitate $3.50, 900
trips to and from the hive. Wax is a
substance secreted by the bee and Is
analogous to the fat Of the higher ami
mails. The wax of species Of bee com.
mon in Patagonia, Terra del Fuego and
other parts of southern South Amer
lea and the adjacent islands Is darh
blue in color and is said to be more pois-
onous than arsenic. A hive OF 5000 bees
will produce about fifty pounds OF
honey annually, and viii multiply
about tenfold in five years. According
to latest statistics the total number OF
hives of bees In the United States and
Europe is 7, 424, 600 and the annual prod
net of honey 1888, 600, 900 pounds

awful tempest, wherein they that slept

morse for his afternoons work, and
the shuddering fear lest he had indeed
broken a mystic spell and brought
upon himself the threatened i'll, that
the Indian superstition" he had SO
scoffed might after all prove dreadful
reality.
Morning dawned with skies as clear,
sunshine as bright, and air as calm as
though the elements had known no
rage. But traces of its wreck were
not so quickly vanished. As Martin
Van Fleet, heavy-eyed and pallid,
came down the stairs, an exclamation
from Grace, standing in the open door
way, brought him to her side. Follow
ing the direction of her outstretched
hand. he looked across the bay to the
point of land where the old landmark,
the great oak. had stood so long, but
where it was no more to be seem For
moment Martin gazed motionless,
and then, followed by his sisters,
dashed off along the sandy beach, now
beaten hard and smooth as floor, to
where, driven by wind and wave, a
bruised and wrenched and shattered
ruin, the great tree lay. Not trace
of the nest was to be seen; the eyrie
had disappeared as though it had never
been. but on the sand. crushed by the
fall Of the PROSTATE trunk, drenched
and dead, lay the puny body of the
third young eagle.
Martin took it up and tenderly
smoothed the sodden feathers. II

and would have blown the tree down
just the same, and il the old eagles had
stayed they might have been killed
too, so after all maybe saved their
lives"
But for all this reasoning. to which
Grace and Clara, with the guilty sense
of accessories, were only too glad to
agree, it was a silent, sober little group
that made grave for the young eagle
in the sand And long was it after
public indignation and the displeasure
of his parents at his ill-eonsidered and
dangerous act had passed away before
the memory of the despoiled eagles

conscious pride of freedom, and, sweep
ing up in great circles, vanished over

partially fulfilled, for though the
eagles never returned to their dis
turbed nest, no other disaster foil oweo

while as to danger, Martin scored the
idea MANY trees as I've climbed!
and then see herer' and he displayed
pair of old shoes he had fitted with
sharp-pointed nails to serve as climbers.
The old eagles had been seen to
leave the nest shortlss before they ar
rived, and. taking advantage of their
absence, Martin set up his ladder and
with a bag fastened around him to
hold his prize and with a stout rope
ON his arm, began the ascent. In the
meantime the light wind that had
helped them oyer had. died away and
been succeeded by an almost un-
natural hush, with hardly a ripple to
break its surface. The lake stretched
before them as far as the eye could
reach, and up the sandy beach the
little waves crept softly towards the
great trees bare and knotted roots,
while overhead the leaves hung mo-
tionless in the still sunshine. Up the
great bole pressed the young climber,
higher and higher; the branches were
reached. and he was lost to the gaze of
the eager watchers below; higher,
still higher, and then loud, exultant
shout told that the goal was reached.
Soon Martin was on his downward
way, carefully picking his steps with
his iron-shod feet, and swinging and
steadying himself by the aid of his
rope till he reached the ladder, and
then the ground, with his proud and
hardly won trophy, not one bird, but
two, for, having found three fee BILE lit
tie eaglets in the nest he had deter
mined to bring Grace and Clara each
one. "For, you see," he explained,
'that leaves the old birds one, just as
intended"
At that moment steps were heard,
and turning. they saw Mackworth, the
old hunter, who had repeated the In
dian tradition to the Van Fleets, an d
who from not distant field had seen
enough of the movements at the old
oak to rouse his suspicious. As he saw
the eaglets in the children's hands his
face darkened with anger. Martin
Van Fleet, what have you been guilty
of?" he demanded, sternly. ''In all the
years have lived here never before
has soul, boy or man, disturbed the
eyrie. You ought to be shot for it,
you udO, anu IL you ho'S oAOukhS
curse on yourself, it is no more than
you deserve"
But have left one in the nest for
the eagles" protested Martin, his high
spirits over his success suddenly fall
ing under this sharp arraignment-
Il don't care if you have; you have
broken the prohibitions; you have tam
pered with the nest. But yonder,"
pointing to q black speck in the sky,
"comes one of the old eagles; if she
eats you up to pay for what you have
done, shan't care" and turning on his
heels he strobe wrathfully away.
With the old eagle SO near, the chill
dren did not dare to escape, but hastily
hid under the low thicket where Mar
tin had concealed his ladder. Wheel
ing round and round in great circles,

There was moments silence after she
reached it, and then n hoarse cry OF
