Meyer and Colonel Hin of New orleans,
representing the Louisiana sugar pro-
ducers. were at the treasury depart
ment today and had an interview with
Auditor Baldwin in regard TO the SUI
gar bounty claims case. In view of
the fact that decision favorable TO
them cannot be had under Comptrol-
lers recent decision, Mr.. Meyer asked
for the specific rejection OF two specific
claims. one under the appropriation of
S2SS.OO0 ON sugar produced before the
repeal of the bounty act and the other
under the 100000 appropriation by
the last congress, their purpose being
to secure a proper basis for action to
be brought TO the United States cir
cult court at New orleans against the
government for the sums claimed 10
be due.

Friendly Birds and Insects I'm the
Garden.

We should learn TO distinguish between
foes and friends in the garden; If neces-
sary the children should be taught early
the difference between insects and birds
that do no harm to plants, and those that
do good. Snakes, toads and lizards, in
stead of being injurious to plants, are al
ways invaluable helps in keeping down
injurious insects. Snakes may be repulslve
in appearance. and poisonous ones very
dangerous, but the ordinary ground snakes
will not hurt one and they will keep down
mice. bugs and insects as nothing else
can. AS a rule, the noXious insects are in
the greatest numbers in our gardens, and
hence toads lizards and snakes that eat
all that come near them destroy more OF
the foes than friends. l should never
think of killing one of these creatures in
the garden, but would be more inclined to
protect them, and even TO import them
into the garden. I have seen a small
gray lizard clean off the worms from
field of cabbages as fast as they could
multiply. Attracted by the fat feast, the
lizard returned every day, and he would
make trips up and down the rows OF cab
hages until not worm could be found.
a few toads in hot beds and cold frames
SIRE of inestimable value. They will keep
down all insects that begin to show them
selves finding them under the leaves ana
stalks that hide them from an ordinary
observer. In Paris toads are regularly
caught and sold to gardeners for insect
hunting in their green houses. AND yet
many boys and older people destroy them
ruthlessly as soon as they discover them
in the garden. The toads will eat cut
worms by the wholesale If they can ind
them, and l have seen them deVour po-
tato bugs in great numbers when deprived
or more palatable food. But we have
friends also among insects and it is well
TO bear in mind that they can do much
good for us. The so-called lacewing in
scots are nearly all friendly to us. They
live on other insects, and do not cat
any part of the plant II few could be
turned loose in a green house they Will de-
stroy all insects other than those of their
own class. In this class are included the
ant lions. asphislions and dragon flies. For
every one of these we kill we must expect
q dozen enemies to spring into active eN-
istence that must be destroyed BY spray
ing.
The tiger beetles and lady beetles, as
well as the long-legged ground beetles,
are ALI insect-eaters, and they go around
the gardens in search of their prey con-
tinually. They will attack large grubs
and other insects, as well as the very
small plant lice that hide behind the
leaves These beetles must be distin-
guished from others that destroy the
nlants The large robber flies are also
great friends in gardens and they will at
tack all kinds of grubs and insects. They
are particularly eager 10 destroy aphis.
Too much cannot be said in the way of
announcement to all classes to protect
our birds of all kinds from further de-
struction.

hydraulic Ram irrigation.

crop. The first picking on the irrigated
plots sold for cents per basket more than
the others, because larger, brighter and

The water is conducted in a canal six

season and the condition Of the soil.
One item is essential. and that Is 20 have
the soil prepared I'm a fine tilth in order 10
first secure q good termination OF the
seed and then a good start of the plants
10 grow.
The soil should be reasonably rich: new
ground is best. when II can be secured
readily. but old ground can be used II It
has been MANFRED with rOtted manure
thoroughly incorporated with the soil.
Too coarse. fresh manure is always OBJ
jectionable with this crop.
Plow well and harrow until the soil IS
in a fine filth. The seeds are so small
that to SOW on rough, Cloddy or lily
prepared land is to lose a considerable
portion of them. Generally, rather low.
moist ground will give better results in
every way than high drier land.
At this time, when it can be done, II
will be best to SOW just after rain in
order TO secure a quick and good gerInina-
tion of the seed. Use plenty OF seed and
sow as evenly as possible. A very good
plan is TO mix the seed with clean wood
ashes and then sow, as by this plan there
is less danger of getting them too thick.
One of the best varieties is the old
standard purple top. strap leaved. The
white egg. and also the yellow globe are
good varieties. They make a good feed
for sheep or cattle so that all that cannot
be marketed TO good advantage can al
ways be fed to the stock with benefit.
