Estey, Ceres; Mrs George J. Stanley, lady steward. During the lecturers hour an original paper on "The Scale Insect Pest," prepared by H. l.. Jeffrey of Woodbury, was read by the chaplain. The following quotation from the paper will explain the opinion of the writer {: ''For several weeks have been noticing the increase of the scale insects on the vines, shrubs and trees. In common with other observers of nature, I am inclined to believe the English sparrow is the chief distributor of the scale insects. and, for the past four years I have devoted closer attention to the actions of the sparrows and the spreading of the scale insects. AS the result of this study, have found that the places on the vines where the sparrows alight and the places where the scales begin are the same. It is also fact that the scales have been discovered on the sparrows' feet. The oyster shell scale (of which specimens on several branches were exhibited) is car ried from plant to plant during this sea- son of the year by the sparrow. The leu canium scale is transplanted during the breeding season, in the month of June, the mass containing the eggs or young being taken from the tee. That this is the work of the English sparrow more than that of any other bird is easily proved by both observation and argu- ment. Ths scale insects are all sap- suckers, therefore, they cannot be fought with poison, in the way that we destroy the insects that eat the foliage. If we would remove the scale pest, we must en- courage a wholesale destruction of the sparrows, for this is the only way out of the difficulty. The Patrons of Husbandry should give this subject their immediate attention. ."-T American.

THE VlSlTANT.

The wind was blowing DER frozen sod,
The trees were signing, and straight from God
Went q message to death to do me wrong;
To do me wrong who had little Alright
To break my heart on that one kind night.
But back to the tryst 1 quickly sped.
With the shield of my body I covered your
head,
And the sword that fell fell only on me;
Fell only on me and made a red stain
On the throat you had kissed again and again.
So that is why on these windy nights
l haunt the trees and I watch the lights
And cry to death to make wrong right;
To make wrong right, go back and find
The other dear soul he left behind.
And that is why on the faint pale days
I steal through the garden with quiet ways
To look where you feet and hers have passed,
Where your feet and hers have passed, and see
That love is no more a thing for me.
