ScrapiDc Trees For Insects.

We have seen Old trees in an orchard
scraped to remove the loose bark and
moss from the trunks, and have, when
younger, scraped some ourselves with
out any very definite idea Of what we
were doing 1t for. excepting that the
tree looked better TO us with n smooth
bark. But we did not like 10 scrape so
hard as to get down to the light-col-
ored inner bark, and leave IL spotted
or streaked. We think now that such
n moderate scraping may be beneficial
ip removing hiding places for many
insects. some of which are injurious
to the orchard, like the Goblin moth
and others that leave the crops on
which they feed to hide on the trees
like the asparagus beetle. We have
seen some people wh.tewash the trunks
of the trees after scraping. and even
when they were not scraped, but we
could see no benefit from that. We
like to wash them down with strong
suds Of soft soap or the lye of wood
ashes. and thought this destroyed in
sects and their eggs. But after this
has been done gather up and burn all
the bark scraped off, and manure
around the tree If the bark is TO be
kept smooth and soft. When 1t is max
ing a good growth an apple tree will

"The demand for American houeS

the sweet commodity in New York

|CHINA ANDTHECHINESE
Manners and Customs of the People


The area Of China is 4.21S,401 En-
glish square miles. OF this territory
only 1,336,S41 miles belong TO China
proper, the remainder being the de-
Tendencies OF Manchuria, Mongolia,
Thibet, Jungaria and East Turkestas.
Notwithstanding the relatively small
size of China proper. IL contains the
bulk of the population, having 3S0,OOO.-
900 Inhabitants out OF a total popu-
lation Of the Kingdom OF O2,6SOOOO.
The present Emperor of China belongs
to the Manchu dynasty, which over
threw the native dynasty of Ming in
the year 1914. AS the late Emperor
died suddenly, he did not designate
n successor, az Is the custom In China,
where there exists no law of heredi-
tary succession. This Is one OF the
causes OF the trouble In China, owing to
the fact that the Empress Dowager
was able to obtain ascendency over
the young Emperor. so that on Sep
tember %, 1898, an imperial edict was
issued announcing that the Emperor
had resigned power to the Empress
direction Of affairs and by her dislike
Of foreigners has done much to foment
the troubles and has made IL easy for
the Boxer movement to gain headway,
even II she is not directly responsible
for the attack, as has been suggested
by those who have an intimate knowl-
edge OF Chinese affairs. On January
"a, 1900, 1t was declared by decree
that the son OF Prince Tuan should
succeed the present Emperor. This Is
generally regarded as equivalent to
Kwang Su's deposition. The lively In
terest which Prince Tuan IL taking In
the attacks Of foreigners is easily ac-
counted for by his sons right to the
throne.
The government OF the State Is based
upon the government OF the family.
The supreme direction Of the Empire
is vested in the privy council or grand
council. The administration Is under
the direction Of cabinet comprising
four members, two OF Manchu and
two OF Chinese origin, besides two as
sistants from the great college, who
have to see that nothing Is done con.
trary to the civil and religious laws
of the Empire. These members are
called ministers OF Sta @. Under their
orders are seven boards OF govern
ment. each of which Is presided over
by Manchu and Chinese. The
