USEFUL S%CAvENGERS.
Dats a Great Help to Sections I'm Clean

Churches.

Insect powders and 'bug-sect-knock.
out-drops" accomplish their purpose
fairly well, bui leave behind unpleas-
ant odors and a great deal of work for
the sexton to do in gathering up and
removing the co-pses. BESIDES, many
insects escape the poison. 1t has been
discovered that the appetite of the bat
coupled with its powerful darkness
piercing eyes guarantees a surer re-
moyal of these pests. Prof. Clifton +,
Hodge, of Clark university, found by
experimenting with bats that they ate
everything from a spider to a poly
phemus moth, so numerous ir

nine OF the grubs Of this insect in a
minute. 1 went to another orchard
near by and found only four of the
grubs in an hours time. In the barn
there were nearly 100 bats. The owner
of the orchard near by told me that
his apples were always free from
worms.
81 took a dozen bats home with me
andinstalled them in the parlor. They
made their home in the folds at the

Cured to her one day that what she
did for pleasure might be turned TO
profit. She made IA few boxes of the
swectmeats and induced Il neigh,oring
druggist to let them be OF sale in his
store. The first boxes, and aftcrward a
second and larger lot, were quickly dis
posed OF and orders for more were re-
ceived. chiefly from the collegians. Her
next step was to get some plain white
boxes. pack the Judges in them, and
tie the boxes with n broad ribbon Of the
college color. Having come little skill
with her brush. she decorated each RIB
bon band with the college name and
put this newly titled fudge on her mar.
ket. There was an immediate and gem
erous response. The undergraduates
were delighted with the compliment
and the tasteful daintincss of her
wares, and although her business only
began last October, she has already
found it necessary to enlarge her plant
to keep pace with her orders. An as
sistant is employed to help her with the
unskillcd part of the process, and she
herself works every day and often late
in the night in an effort to supply the
demand for her horizons. She has es-
tablished agencies throughout the

probably building up a permanent and

who was in this city. yesterday morning,
said he thought the apple crop this year
will be shorter than usual. He also made
the same prediction for next year. He
gave the opinion that in consequence the
prices will be high. much higher thtl
last year. When asked his reason for
thinking that the crop will be short, ne
said it Is on account Of the number ri
caterpilars He then went On TO say tina.
a great many Of the farmers have made
no attempt this year TO remove the ca
erpilars from the trees. and as a result
they are stripped Of buds ana leaves.
Those who have cleared the caterpillars
from the trees find that there is a good
prospect Of having a fair crop In spite Of
the razor backed wriEglers lie has used
an ordinary horse brush on his trees an
with excellent results.
