ent efforts are made against the great
insurance corporations. The black.
mailers understand that there is moth.
ing so sensitive to the breath of scam
dial as the honor of a great financial in
stitution. except it be the honor of q
woman. and they go to work ON this
foundation. They do not realize that
the sagacity which has built up these
corporations is abundantly able to cope
with the schemer of designing scoun-
drels- Occasionally a newspaper will
become involved in the matter. and
then it is bad for the paper.
In every case it is safe to think not
only twice but good many times be-
fore you accept as true the stories
which are told rejecting upon the in
tegrity Of a well-established corpora
ton. Corporations may have no souls.
but they realize that honesty is the best
policy every time, and they do not very
often allow themselves to be victimized
by the rascals who devote their energies
to attempting to swindle them. As a

THE FARMING WORLD.
THE, MAPLE WORM.

A Dangerous Pest to Ornamental and For
est Plantations
The Larvae OF the green-striped maple
worm from time to time cause havoc
on soft maple trees. particularly in the
central western states These depre-
dations are the more noticeable and
serious on account of the importance
OF the swamp or soft maple in all
forest or ornamental paintings in the
west. where it is one of the favorite
trees ON account of its rapid growth
and the little care and attention needed
in its propagation Its sole drawbac
is the liability of its being defoliated
once or twice yearly by the larvae un-
der consideration. and this has led. In
frequent instances. to the replacing Of
these trees by other and perhaps less
desirable varieties. This is entirely
unnecessary. however, as the maple
can be easily protected by the proper
application at suitable times of either
paris green or London purple. OF
its range and life history DIR. c. V.
Riley. in his annual report OF the divis-
ion of entomology, United States de-
partment of agriculture. says: While
especially abundant in the west. this
insect has wide range-from east to

is very common The heads of the hens

is always the result of exposure 1t is

Salt and Pack ut Once.

Sailing and packing butter direcf
from the churn is urged. in an un-
credited current paragraph, as in ac-
cord with the approving experience of
a great dairy expert THE butter
milk should be all washed out Of the
butter so it will not color the last
water The butter should then be al
lowed to drain 1t needs no working
whatever, but should be carefully
weighed; then press in an ounce of
good. fine dairy salt to the pound of
butter, and If you intend to pack for
shipment or to keep in crooks or tubs
you never can have 1t in as good con-
dition to pack as the minute you first
get the salt into It The butter viii

SAND is a splendid mulch for newly
set trees-four to six inches thick and
extending well beyond the roots
LARGE as was the wheat crop this
year it is stated that indications point
TO as large an area of land seeded to
wheat as before
LOOK after the fences and see If they
need any help to enable them to with
stand the SHOWS and winds of winter
without falling down
STONES on the farm are not an IN
mixed evil They represent great pos
sibilities- Look around and see to
what good use they can be put
II is seated by some one that when
the Thermometer stands fifty degrees
at sundor.n frost will not occur that

JAPAN fruit trees are creating
some interest among fruit men because
of their reputation for be ing proof
against blight, insects and fungus at
tacks-
IT may seem a little hard to place
the best fruit down in the package

the proper thing to do. The consumer
likes to find some of it there.

Leading Rules and Principles and How

Leading fsuies and Principles and How
to Avoid Mistakes
An acquaintance, who has been the
owner of farm for many years, and
has given some attention to landscape
improvement upon it, asks for some of
the leading principles or rules, which
he can apply, SO as to obtain the great

and avoid obvious mistakes
In answer to this request a large
ject unexhausted. and 1t would be we'll

therefore comply briefly by giving q

have an obvious reason, or turn aside
from some plain object or obstruction
Curves without reason are a deformity-

At this moment woman hurriedly

ton fastening to the telegraph office
with message for Mrs. Evesham, inn
ploring her to come at once to her as
sistance, for the physician had said that
with good nursing George Arundel's
life might be spared, and she had not
much faith in the ''gyurls" as minister
ing angels for sick mans bedside.
The mailman saw her, and his eyes
cleaned with uncontrolled passion.
''She is there-my darling. my life.

concoct to get taste of the carefully
guarded treasure within would fill

attempts at b1ackmail are everyday
occurrences; begging on the most curl
GUS pretexts and schemes for invest
ment of the widest sort come to us
every hour. 1t would seem that a very
large portion of the community had de-
termined to make a living without
work, though if the same industry and
patience were turned into legitimate
channels the swindlers might make
fortunes. AS it is, very few of the at
tempts are successful, though they
sometimes manage to give a good deal
of annoyance. The stronger companies
have adopted the policy that it is
cheaper, in the long run, to fight than
to pay blackmail, and with the re-
courses at their command their fight
ing is generally pretty effectual. You
remember the Williams case" added
my friend.
/ did remember the Williams case,
because it so happened that was mixed
up in it. One day seedy-loolSing per-
sonsge drifted into my Office and said
that he wanted a reliable newspaper
man to go into partnership with him in
the sale of a great newspaper sensa-
ton. He had the facts, he explained,
but as he was ignorant of news
paper methods he wanted an expert
enced man to write the story and dis
pose of it to the best advantage. He
strongly urged me to essay that part of
the work myself and offered me half
the proceeds.
'What is it?'' asked.
What would sensation be worth
that would expose the rottenness Of
four of the greatest financial institutions
in the world and compel them to stop
business?" was his reply. / Immediate
ly jumped to the conclusion that the
man was crazy, and answered. careless
ly: 'Ten thousand dollars"
He did not seem at all taken aback by
the figures, but plunged into an explain
alton. He had what he called a ''bird's-
eye" showing the business of the Mu-
tual, the Equitable, the New York and
Connecticut Mutual Lite Insurance
Companies. There were four charts or
tables about four feet long by two feet
wide. covered closely with tabulated
figuring in colored inks Referring
from time to time to his charts he told
me the most extravagant yet convinc-
ing tale of official crookedness ever
listened to. When he had finished I
told him to call again as / was not pre-
pared to shake the financial fabric of
the world to the extent he proposed
| without thinking the matter over.
Then HE'D me to an insurance expert,
q friend of mine, and retailed SO much
