PROTECTION HIS THEME.

Meantime, Mr. Mcfarland lost no OPP
pOrtunity of advertising the fact that he
had plan for the protection of citrus
fruits. Protection was the burden of his
song, and although mIny scoffed at the
idea of raising oranges under cover; and
others, among whom We're his close, per-
sonal friends, advised him tn give up
the idea, as it was visionary, and he was
running his health; still he chung to it and
infected others with his enthusiasm.
Many time his plans for the manufacture
of his protecting apparatus seemed about
to meet with surcess; but just as the clm-
AK was reached, some unforeseen obstacle
would dash his hopes and indefinitely
postpone the realization of his dreams
Meantime, he WAS going further and

that each girl would be expected to
show her artistic skill by arranging

for the WORK, and at the end of that

Instances in Nature Where Gooi Gives

Way to Seeming EVIL.
A matter that has attracted the at
tention of all outdoor students for
ages, and which still remains unset
tied, is the fact that, although the
farmer wages a constant warfare on
weeds in order that his crops may
grow, the food bearing plants often
fail TO seed fruition. but the weeds
never. The more noxiou5 the
plant the more certain it is
TO flourish, says a New England
writer What is true of the plant
world is true of bird and mammal life.
The English sparrows, which nearly
every one hates, increase at the rate
of millions yearly, in spite OF rigid
winters and bounty laws, while the
birds which add the beauty Of color
and song to outdoor life are tending TO-
ward extinction. The frost that i'm
prisons the grouse, by forming crust
over the snowbank where he has
sought shelter, at the same time pro-
tects the field mouse pest from his
natural enemies. The same crust bears
up the wolf while it practically im-
prisons the deer. Insect parasites kill
the game birds, while the owl seems
to enjoy their companiOnship and
cares not how thickly they swarm
within the cover of his plumage. The
crows fly over morning and evening
from roosting to feeding place and re-
turn in focks as great as those of a
century ago. The ducks and geese re-
turn from the south spring after spring
with constantly thinning ranks. AS
the eastern writer puts it. the chances
are that hundred years hence, in the
dearth of game, the leading sportsmen
will be wrangling over the merits Of
their skunk dogs and Dragging OF
their bags of crows and sparrows.
