WASPS AT WORK.
How the Tiny Creatures Gather the
Materials and Build Their
Warm Nests.

One morning in early summer, while
standing beside an old rail fence watch
ing some cows that were cropping the
grass, my attention was attracted by
the peculiar movements of wasp that
settled on the rail beside me- The rail
was covered with a light gray fuzz Of
woody fiber beaten up from the decay
ing wood by the excessive soakings it
had received from the long spring rains
and when the wasp had gathered as
much of this as he could carry he slow
ly flew away. In short time there
were dozen or more of those indus.
trious pulp gatherers at work on the
old rail, and as fast as each of them OBJ
tanned a load away he flew in the direc-
ton of a clump of bushes that grew be
side small stream.
My curiosity was aroused, and de-
termined to find out, if possible, what
they were doing with such a quantity
of fiber, and, approaching the thicket
cautiously, | soon discovered them at
work on a good-sized nest which hung
from the limb of white beech sapling.
was able to get quite near it, for
wasps are not apt to be quarrelsome if
left alone, and these were too busy to
take heed of anything except their
work.
As fast as their loads were deposited
they few down TO the brook and, hav-

THINNING OUT FRUIT.
Wherever Ii Is Done the Trees Are
Almost Sure to Bear Good
Crops Every Season.

The method employed in some inn
portant fruit growing districts to Sc
cure a crop of fruit, such as peaches,
apples, plums, pears, etc, with uni
formity every year (providing the
flowers are not rendered sterile by
freezing) is to Systematically thin out
the young fruit after danger from frost
in the spring, and before the fruit gets
large enough to become tax on the
tree. Fruit is seldom produced on the
same spur every year; therefore, in
thinning, they remove all of the fruits
from one spur without injuring it, so
It may produce fruit buds for the next
year, allowing the next spur to bear
Of course, discriminating between
promising and poor fruit. Various con-
trivances have been invented for this
work, but they have proved impracti-
Fable, for they do not discriminate be-
tween the good and poor fruit, and, be-
sides, often injure or break off spurs.
So thinning has to be done by hand,
and, aside from the great advantage of
insuring a crop for the following year,
1t pays the same season on account of
far larger proportion of the fruit be-
Ing of superior quality and of higher
market value.-Prairie Farmer.

and macadam for public roads, and use
The necessary convict labor primarily in
manufacturing the material for road

on labor is to be used only for public
road improvement and sold to the au-

preparing macadam. The same pro-
visions extend to the intermediate pen.

GOOD SAILORS ARE SCARCE.
Spring Is the Most Favorable Sea-
son for Enlistments-Why This
Is the Case.

The notices recently sent from Wash
ington that enlistments for the navy
are desired is a sufficient proof that the
enlistment since the instructions to
take on men for the crews of the Co
lumbia and Minneapolis were issued
on March has not been satisfactory.
An officer on the receiving ship Yer
mont at the Brooklyn navy yard, in
speaking of the slow rate at which en-
listments have been received, explained
the fact by the unfavorable season of
the year.
The best berths offered to expert
enced sailors are on private yachts
that will be going into commission very
soon. In consequence the spring is al
ways bad season in which to expect
heavy enlistments, especially when, as
now, only experienced seamen and ma
chinists are desired. The daily average
of less than eight men received on
board the Vermont during the last
three weeks is as high as has ever been
reached at this season.
The best enlistment season of the
year is the late fall and early winter,
when summer cruises on pleasure craft
are about over and there are many sea-
men out of work.
The fact that the navy enlistment is
for three years is also something of a
bar to securing men who have already
served on private yachts and hope for
other berths aboard them,
From IS 10 20 per cent. of the enlist
ments made on board the Vermont in
the last three weeks have been made by
men who have served in the navy be-
fore, either as regular enlisted men or
on board a training ship.
Many apprentices who graduate from
the training ships leave the service for
more lucrative berths aboard merchant
men or pleasure craft; but whenever a
special call for men is sent out these
are always among the first to respond.

STATE AID FOR ROADS.
New York Has just Pointed Out the
Probable Ultimate solution of

many years past was the passage by

Ii is significant of the rapid growth
