Some Common Strawberry Pests.

The one which has been most album
dant this season is the strawberry root
worm. The mature insect is beetle
about the size of radish seed with
shining black or brown surface, and
two antenna resembling q pair of its
legs. 1t is quite active on its feet,
but when disturbed it "plays the pos
sum- and rolls into the ground. l
have found as many as five at single
hill of plants. These beetles are, Of
course, the consequence of the root
worms OF larvae which last fall were
feeding upon the tibrous roots of the
plants. The worms are small whitish
grubs, which when they arefull grown
pupate in earthen cells under the sur
face of the ground and therefore are
out of sight while doing their greatest
damage.
The other insect found is the straw
berry crown borer, which in the beetle
stage resembles a weevil, though it is
not one. The larva or borer is whit
ish, yellow-headed grub resembling
the root worm except in being footless.
1t is one-ffth of an inch long, and
lives in the crown of the strawberry
plant, weakening it so that it cannot
survive the winter. The crown-borer
pupates within the cavity formed in
the crown of the plant but energies as
the adult beetle, which is gray in
color. one-fifth of an inch long, about
September or October, remaining in
the fields until spring, when eggs are
laid for the new brood.
Both these insects become particu-
larly destructive in old beds of straw
berries, or in new beds on old straw
berry ground where no other crop has
interviewed. Neither travels far from
its birthplace, therefore rotation OF
crops is the most practical preventive
treatment. Old fields should be
plowed under as soon as the crop OF
fruit is of. If small section is to be
retained for plants, their removal
should be accomplished as early as
possible. If the beetles are found
about the young plants intended fol
next years fruitage, spraying with
paris green late in summer will kill
such as are feeding upon the foliage
at that season.-George G. Butz in

Heroism of the Fishermen.

1t is always with a vague regret
that we read the sagas, and are
thrilled by the vikings exploits. 1t
seems as if the deeds of daring had
gone by forever, and as if the heroes
of the deep were myth of the past.
Absorbed in the Morse romance, we
forget that the vikings were only
pirates, and that they dared for
slaughter and for booty. If the
Gloucester of today had only existed
then, what heroic saga would it not
have inspired! For to risk life for
glory, or riches, or rescue, or love is
in the heart of every man to do; but
to risk life for bare existence, for
other peoples profit, and for an an
onymous end partakes of that COM
monplace sublimity which does not
form the favorite plot Of poets, al
though once in a while it is the sub
ject of daily paragraph.
For the vikings are not dead. From
Portland to New Orleans our harbors
are full of them. They lounge upon
our wharves, and we do not recognize
them. They loiter on our streets, and
we know them not. But if there is a
more modest, unconscious OF drawer
fellow than Jack the Fisherman, our
eyes have yet to rest upon his face.
He is the hardest and most daring,
the best sailor in the world today.
Any Continental kingdom would give
it's wealth to possess him for its de-
Tense. He is the envy of every mari.
time nation. Has he no value for us,
beyond the halibut and the cod, the
haddock and the cusk?-Century.

The Career of a Hat.

planned hat dealer, compares some
what with the life of the owner OF it.
One can run through either in hurry
or hang on for long time if it is de-
sired. If carefully kept a Panama
hat should last all the way from ten
to forty years. I know gentleman
who resides in East Washington who
has owned and steadily worn during
the summer months Panama hat for
nearly forty years. 1t has been
bleached every couple of years since
and trimmed and refined, and it is to-
day to all intents and purposes as
good as when / first saw it thirty
Years ago. | know of another Pana-
ma hat now worn by physician in
this city, which has had almost as
long a Life. Long before he got it his
father wore it. | know dozens OF
them which have been in use from ten
to twenty years. The lining wears
ont but the body of the hat keeps
GOOD Of course, care has to be used
TO keep them such long time, but
The Panama itself is almost indestruc-
tible. The original cost of the hats
that I refer to was not exorbitant,
none of them costing over $l4. -

Losing Young Chicks.

Many complaints are heard this
year, mainly from those who have had
their first experience with an incuba-
tor, regarding the large proportion OF
the chicks Matched which die during
the first two or three weeks after
Matching, In most cases the fault is
laid to the incubator, which is hardly
fair. The cold, wet weather which
has prevailed has been hard on the
little chicks and caused the loss of
many of them. Overheated brooders,
overcrowding and poor ventilation are
also responsible for many deaths
among chicks. 1t is safe to say, how
ever, that the main trouble, not only
this year, but all years, is due to in
herited weakness, and when this is the
case no amount of care or attention in
feeding will overcome the trouble.
Chicks will often hatch in the incuba-
tor on time, or little before time,
and be extremely lively for few days
or even for two or three weeks, then
suddenly die. Chicks Matched by the
old hen frequently do the same thing,
There is more in the proper selection
Of stock for Matching than most peo-
pie are willing to believe, and it pays
every time to know something of the
ancestry of the embryo chick in the
egg you intend to hatch even if the
breed is pure. In the majority of
cases where male runs with forty or
even more hens, the proportion Of fer
tile eggs laid by the hens will be small
and even the fertile ones will produce
weak chicks. Other well-known causes
are responsible for weak chicks. At

tor these pests to again secure cover
ings, and after many years close OBJ
seryation of the habits of cutworms I
doubt If a single one can be destroyed
by simply stirring the soil.
In my experience 1 have found two
distinct species of cutworms, one cut
ting the corn on the surface of the
ground and being readily found and
caught in the act of destruction. The
other is out Of sight and cuts the corn
about an inch below the surface, and
the mischief is not detected until the
corn begins to wilt. Corn cut below
the surface of the ground is irretriev-
ably ruined, but when cut above the
ground, when small, with the excep-
ton of being retarded in growth, it is
seldom injured. Corn planted on sod
that has been pastured the preceding
year is more liable to be damaged by
cutworms than if no stock had been
allowed upon the ground. John Gov

A Flower Hospital.

Children very often have ideas
which to older people are revelation
of the treasury of sweetness and in
nocence childs mind may be.
A tiny little girl came into room
the other day where her mother sat
sewing. The little ones hands were
full of half-faded blossoms -pansies, a
carnation, a withered rosebud and
some daisies.
"Mamma," said the little girl, as
she looked seriously at the poor little
flowers and turned them over and
over in her hand. "I'm going to have
a flower hospital and cure these
flowers"
Gail right, my DEAR" said her
mother, edo so if you like" :
And later the little girl gathered all
her tiny cups and plates and filled
them with water, and busted herself
with putting the stems in the cooling
liquid, talking the while in soft, low
tones to the flowers she thought suf-
fering so. After she had played
quietly for some time her little face
became clouded and she began to cry.
"Oh, mamma. won't none Of them
get we'll but the pansies? All the
others are dead"
Who but q little child would have
thought of so sweet an idea as this
little Glover hospital?' Grown
people might have given fresh water
or maybe thrown the blossoms away,
but this little one sat patiently by and
even if her little efforts were not re-
warded by the renewed life of the
blossoms, those around her watched
and listened in almost wonder at the
dear little fancy which filled her baby
mind, and were astonished anew at
the gentle vagaries of the lovely child
mind which so endears all little chill

The Artful Raven.

Many stories are told of the clever
ness of the raven, bird that really
seems to have reasoning powers. One
of these stories tells how raven, by
a skillful stratagem, got young hare
for it's dinner. 1t had pounced upon
the little animal, but the mother hare
drove it away.
Then the raven slowly retreated,
encouraging the mother to follow him,
and even pretending that he was
afraid of her. In this fashion he led
her to a considerable distance from
her young one, and then, suddenly,
before the hare had time to realize the
meaning of the trick, he rose in the
air, flew swiftly back, caught the
young hare in its beak and bore it
away.
A similar plan was adopted by some
ravens that wished to steal food from a
dog. They leased him till he grew so
angry that he chased them from the
spot, but the artful birds turned
sharply round, easily reached the dish
before him and carried off the choicer
bits in triumph.
As to the ravens power of speech
the following story, which is given on
the authority of a Captain Brown, who
vouches for its truth, will show how
aptly it can talk. A gentleman, while
travelling through wood in the south
of England, was startled by hearing a
shout of "Fair play, gentlemen, fair
play!" uttered in loud tones. The cry
being presently repeated, the traveller
thought it must proceed from some
one in distress, and at once began to
search for him. He soon discovered
two ravens fiercely attacking third.
He was so struck with the appeal of
the oppressed bird that he promptly
rescued him.
1t turned out that the victim was a
tame raven belonging to house in
the neighborhood, and the cry that it
had used so opportunity was one OF
many that it had been taught to utter.

The Queens Four-Leaved Clover.

An amusing story Of Queen Hor-
tense, daughter of the Empress jose
phine and wife of Louis Bonaparte,
king of Holland, has lately been told.
After her exile from Holland, the ex-
queen sojourned for time in modest
habitation near Constance, in Switzer-
land.
AS her health was broken down by
her troubles her physicians pre-
scribed visit to the mountains Of
Appenzell, and the ex-queen, accom-
panied only by reader or female
companion and two or three servants,
went to rustic neighborhood in the
hills. There she and her companion
found nothing better to do than hunt
for four-leaved clover, and became
quite excited in the search.
"To lend the matter interest,"" the
queen wrote in letter which has
been brought to light, eve would
assume that each discovery of four
leaved clover had some prophetic sig
nifcance. The next one, if found so
and so, meant that we should return
to France; another meant that I was
to receive a letter the next day from
my son Louis, and so on. In this in
nocent pastime we found positively
the only excitement that was open to
US in the place.

Grandmother's Story.

''Tell me a story grandma" said
little Bess, as she climbed upon her
grandmother's lap.
"Well, what shall it be about?"
said the old lady smiling, as she laid
her work on the table and looked at
her little granddaughter.
"About when you were little girl"
was the answer.
"Let me think. Oh, yes, re-
member" she said as she stroked
Bessie's golden hair and kissed her
on the forehead. When was about
twelve years old I went to spend the
summer with some friends. There
were two children, both a little
younger than myself. The older one
was Maud and the younger one Mary.
81 had not been there long before
we planned to have q spread some
night after we had gone to bed. We
set the night. and began to collect all
the candy and good things we could
and and put them in basket, which
we kept under the bed.
"That night we went to our room
and undressed, then we waited for
their mother to say good night. We
waited, but she did not come, and SO
we turned out the light and pretended
to go to sleep. In few minutes we
were up and had the basket. The
feast consisted of three crackers
apiece, about h, a dozen candies, q
few peanuts and some cookies. We
all sat down on one bed and began to
talk softly. Suddenly I heard foot
step on the stairs, and knew what it
was. pushed Maud back into her
place in the bed and jumped in my
self. 'Shr-r-r-r! She is coming, I
raid. But Mary just sat there and
looked at us. Suddenly she looked
at us and realized what was the mat
ter, then made rush for her bed.
'She had just reached it when I
saw figure in the doorway. Their
mother entered and kissed us, then
went out again. We were about to
get up again when we heard her say,
Don't talk. They were the words we
had dreaded, and what was anything
without talking? l lay down again
and began to groan, when I saw Mary
beside me. Mamma didn't say wa
must not Whisper she said under her
breath. In few minutes We were
out of bed and eating. Then what q
good time we had, and we talked un-
til we had eaten everything, and it
was long after time for US to be
asleep.
"After that we had a great many
more feasts, but none of them was as
much fun as the first was. "--Ameri.
