United States Apple Crop.

The commercial apple crop of the Unit
ed States approximates 81, 900, 600 barrels
considerable gain over last years phe-
nomenally short yield. but very much less
than in some recent years. The sections
which have suffered most include parts O f
New England, New York and all of Wis
consin, parts of Michigan and all the
southwest. The great Mississippi basin
has turned off geat deal of fruit as a
whole, but much of it is deficient in keep
ing qualities. The drought seriously af-
fected Michigan apples, and in the Ohio
valley fruit dropped badly.
A moderate surplus Of merchantable ap.
Piles is found in the Middle States accord
ing to the New England Homestead re-
port. New York ana possibly Pennslvva-
MIA and Connecticut seem to be abont the
only States which did not go backward
during September and in the aggregate
are harvesting liberal quantities of SPLEEN
lid apples. New York crop. as a whole,
is less than half as much as be rhenome-
nal yield of 96, but is much better in quail
ity, with smaller proportion going to
waste. The supply of prime apples har-
vested in Ontario will be exceedingly
small. Nova Scotia has a splendid crop,

eating them in all forms, unless it NAV he
the eggs of some species. Robins eat a
great many, and both wood thrush and
Wilson'S thrush eat them sometimes.
The bluebird has also been seen eating
nearly all forms of these insects, but they
are not plentiful, and are so shy that but
few observations have been made on them.
The bulletin gives list of Al birds
known to feed on hairy caterpillars, of
which 90 also feed on the pupa or the
moths. They are all among our common
SO birds, unless one excerpts the crow,
blue jay and kingbird. The English
sparrow does not eat many, and we think
has done more harm than good by driv-
ing many of the Others out of villages
and public parks, than it can ever do good
Many of these birds are also known to
kill caterpillars when they will not eat
them OF to take only a small portion of
the inside
Most of them seem to prefer the smooth
skinned caterpillars to the hairy ones, and
destroy large numbers of the canker worm
during the short season they are here,
but attack other species as soon as those
become scarce. When colony of the
gypsy moth caterpilIars or forest caterpil-
lars become abundant in a locality, espec-
tally if remote from dwellings and roads,
birds of these kinds abound, apparently
att acted by the abundance of food, and
they often nearly exterminate the cater
pillars.

Hold the PhiIippinesl

A great audience gathered in Music

to attend the annual dinner of the Repub-
lican Club of Massachusetts. "Hold the

and applause for these sentiments, as
plainly as if it had used spoken words,
AYE, hold the Philippines. The guests
and speakers of the evening We're Gov.

Following are extracts from the speeches:
''lf we have no business in the Philip
pines we have no business in Alaska If
we ought to walk out of one we ought to
walk out of the other. The effects would
be the same in each case. If we have no
business in the Philippines we have no
business in any State in the West. We
have bought them all, took them from the
Indians, bought them from the French,
conquered them from Spain. If we have
have got no business in Florida. We got

Dewey did on the sea, " Gov. Roosevelt.
Our flag is legally there, and it will not
retire in the face OF armed Instruction.

vindictveness the revolt must be suppress

our hearty support to the Administration

of our foes are no longer pointed at the

stored and civil administration can resume
its peaceful sway, then will Congress de-
termne what measure of self government

that the immortal principles embodied in
the Declaration of Independence will be
