REMEDY FOR TREE BORERS.

Prof. A. j. Cook, of Clarcmont.
gives in the Rural Californian the fol.
lowing remedy for certain tree borcrs
which he finds plentiful in various
parts OF Southern California, and
which he Identifies as the ChrysObo-
thris mail:
Remcdy-Rub the trunks carly and
again late in June with soft soap or a
mixture of soft soap and crude car
bolic acid. In case one has not and
cannot get soft soap, it is easy to
make mixture of hard soap and the
rarbolc acid, as we make kerosene
emulsion, only we use the crude car
bolic acid instead Of the kerosene.
have known hundreds of trees and in
few cases entire orchards to be ut
tcrly destroyed by these borers. Ii
would have been easy and very incx-
pcnsivc to have prevented the entire
loss as just explained.
AS it is believed that trees that arc
week and ailing are especially susccp-
tiblc to attack by these borers, it is
especially to be advised that every
pains of good cultivation and added
fertility be employed, especially the
FIRST two or three years after trans
planting.
In case of neglect, where the borcr
gets to work, We still have way to
circumvent these destructive pests.
1t is not impossible to kill them by
punching in the holes with wire. 1t
is also possible to make a hole at the
top OF the wound and pour in by use
Of Il small oil can kerosene oil. We
have only to reach them with the
kerosene TO Kill them all.

TEST OF ENDURANCE,

No other country offers such oppor-
tunitieS to those desiring to marry rs
America. In that respect it is truly
the home of the free and the land of
the brave, not to say the foOlhardy.
In some countries those matrimonial.
ly inclined have to get the parents
consent, in others the prospective
bridegroom has to- show that lie can
support wife. Uncle Sam throws
no such obstacles in the case OF true
love. lie recognizes every mans
right to starvc a woman if she is will
ing, and provided one can raise the
slight fec necessary for the license,
there is nothing to hinder him get
ting married II he can find woman
of the same mind. In South Africa
the savage tribes have peculiar cere.
mony which they put the matri-
monial candidate through previous to
his entering the holy estate. His
hands are tied up in bag containing
five ants for two hours. If he bears
unmovcd the torture of their stings
he is considered qualified to cope
with the nagging and daily jar and
fret Of married life Such man
would make an admirable husband
He would not be upset by the
thoughts of spring bonnet, or grow
irritable every time the steak was
ovcrdonc. The idea of having a pa.
thence trial for those about to marry
is a good idea that civilized people
might adopt.

FLORAL WONDER OF PANAMA,

The Holy Ghost flower, or Flor def
Espiritu Santo, is found in the region
Of the Isthmus of Panama. 1t seems
to thrive in low, marshy spots, and
springs up from decayed logs or from
crevices in the rocks. The larger and
Older bulbs frequently send up the Leaf
stalks six or seven feet in height, and
from these, which are joined, broad
lanceolated leaves are thrown out III
pairs. The plant is an ahnual, and In
June, July and August the flower
stalks starts up from the base of the
bulb, devotlng all their energies to
the formation Of the buds. The buds
arc arranged Oh the stalks much like
those of the hyacinth, the usual num-
Der for well-grown stalk to bear be-
ing from twelve to fifteen. The leaves
arc very pale green in color, as though
in harmony with the delicate purity OF
the blossom is OF alabastcr whitencSs,'
much like tile 6ld-style En- ylish pull
pit. This Of itself is strikingly curl
Gus. but it fades into insignificance
when one looks into the center OF that
strange blossom, for there, nesting in
its very heart, is the perfect image of
a dove. 1t reQnires no imagination to
see 1t, says the Leeds (England)
Mercury. No one could mistake il for
anything else, for no human skill
could fashion its shape more perfectly,
no artist could adorn it with more
elegant tints, and no perfumer could
cndow it with a more delicate fra
GRANGE. Right in the cup OF the blos-
som, with the snow-whitc canopy
about 1t, rests this wondr0us image;
its delicately nodded wings dropping,
half-cxtended at its side, its gold tint:
ed head bent slightly forward, and its
tiny, crimson-tipped bill almost toucli-
ing its snowy breast. An obserter who
saw it in its native home says: "Just
as the figure Of the dove itself Is there;
beyond dispute, so does an expression
pervade the image, an expression that
even the most careless cannot fall to
notice. the incarnation OF humility
and spiritual purity"

KICKING TREES.
LUMDERMEN MUST KNOW THEN AND
KNOW HOW TO KEEP FROM BEING
KICKED.
Rumsord Falls Times.

Rumsord Falls Times
Very few who have never witnessed
the method Of numbering in our for
csts realize the danger, with its ac-
companying fascination, the hard.
rugged work with its hcalth-giving
results, or the enjoyment to be found
in camp life in the solitary woods,
miles from civilization.
The danger from flying limbs or a
"kicking" tree as it falls, lodges or
strikes upon a stump or across Il log,
and swings around or flies back with
terrible force, it is not noticed by the
lumbcrmen If they are lucky enough
to dodge successfully. Another danger
that people little realize is that OF the
teamsters who haul the logs from the
stump to the main road. Much of the
timber Is cut up on the mountain
sides, which are so steep that horse
team can scarcely climb up. At the
top, logs measuring from 30 to so feet
in length are loaded upon and dragged
down the mountain. In places the
road goes down so steep that the ends
OF the logs are above the horses hips.
The logs when the sled tip down, and
away they go down the mountain as
fast as the horses can 60, with the
tcamstcr hanging to the reins and
Keeping his balance upon the logs as
they thrash and roll around beneath
his feet. Occasionally the teamster
emits terrific yell that would put
Camanchc Indian to shame, to warn
his brother tcamsterS that he is com
ing, SO they can get out of the way.
They drive in turnout and the load
ed team spins past them. 1t is seldom
that a horse loses his footing: if he
does, the team is sluccd down the
mountain. Occasionally they go
against Il tree and sometimes both
the horses are killed, but they gencr-
ally come out all right, with few
scratches.
With the advent of the railroad and
invention of wood pulp the uses of
the spruce tree have been changed or
enlarged and so far as Byron, Me-, is
concerned, the manner of getting it
from the forest to the market has
changed. The logs are now loaded on
to cars in the forests and hauled to
the very mill doors, where they are
converted into pulp and paper. Dur
the present winter logs have been
hauled to the Rumford Falls Paper
C0mpany's mill, converted into paper,
shipped to different cities, where it is
used by some Of the leading daily pa.
pers, printed, returned and read by
the camps crew, where the timber
was cut within fortnight from the
time the tree was cut in the forest
Such is the effect Of the progress of
civilization upon this branch of busi-
ness. Only a few years ago. even now.
in remote sections, where railroads
have not reached, one year is rcckoncd
on to ,get the lumber to market, and
it sometimes takes two years to run
