LOCUST PESTS ARE DUE
Farmers Of This State Warned Against
the Visitation

Farmers of this State have been
warned TO be on guard against the
periodical cicada, more commonly
known as the seventeen-year locust,
which is due to appear Whereabouts next
summer. This brood is numerous anu
destructive and was recorded as being
injurious in 1885, the date of its last
appearance here. The eact limits can
not be defined and fruit growers in this
State are cautioned to be on their
guard.
To avoid injury farmers are advised
not to set out young orchards either
This fall or I'M the spring if they can
avoid it. II they do set out orchards
they should leave as many shoots and
branches as p-ssible. on which the i'm
sects may lay eggs without harm to the
tree Itself. These branches may then
be trimmed out early in July, when all
danger is passed. Fruit trees or others
and shrubs should not be trimmed too
c,ose1y and, where not absolutely re-
Quired, should not be trimmed at all.
No budding or grating should be done
either this fan or next spring, as grow
ing buds and CRAFTS are especially apt
to be injured
Where sparrows flock in great num-
bers the danger of INJURY is much re
duced
Those whose trees suffered last sum
mer from the plague of caterpillars
many breathe a sigh of relief, for they
are assured that there is no danger OF
another invasion hereabouts next sum
Nor. II has been discovered that a
small parasite has been killing off all
the cOcoons in which the caterpillars
wrap themselves during tho winter
months. This parasite strongly re
sembles a fly but has many features
common to the small spider.
Before the caterpillar retires to its
cocoon. the fly lays one egg on it. In
the course OF time this egg matches out
the grub Of the fly, which feeds on the
caterpillar inside.

morning commenced building the APP

will finish the work in a few weeks.

The majority of the members of the
court are in favor of paying Mr.. F'ahey
for the three feet additional height, but
not for the approaches proper.

greatly interested in the fate OF

iSlature. but | am afraid that the
majority leaders in Pennsylvania
politics are too well satisfied with
the present ballot law to permit
any changes. For their purposes
1t is one OF the best ballot laws
ever enacted.
1t is admitted by War Depart
ment officials that the radical pro-
English remarks made by Gen.
Chatfee, at an entertainment Civ
en- by English officers in Pekin,
were "a little imprudent." but
they add that Secretary Root does
not take a serious view of the
matter. and that he will not ask
Gen. Chaffee for al explanation,
unless some of the powers make a
protest. ltnaturally strikes many
as strange that the Secretary of
W ar should not regard it as seri-
Gus for the Commander Of the
American troops in China. to
have made remarks, afterwards
published. which were in intent
an insult to every one Of the al,

How to Kill a Dog ?
MesSrS. Editors:

MesSrs. Editors:
What is to become of the
wicked people who kill poor little
dogs? Indeed | have heard 50
much about the killing of a
worthless dog in Frederick last
week that | wonder how the
question is to be settled. Must
We hang the worthless ours roam
ing about our streets. or must
chlorotOrm be administered in
heroic doses. or must a good.
sized club be used. or must the
bullet decide the fate of the
worthless dogs? These are mighty
questions and the remedy should
be known. Now. as matter of
fact, | learn that the dog should
have been killed. He was a
worthless cur, most annoying to
our citizens and numerous com.
plants had been made. But how
to kill the dogs that should be
killed, that is the question.
Shoot them? Well, some object.
1t is the easiest for the poor
brute, the quickest way it is
claimed. What would the Soci.
ETY. for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals do? Well. they might
preserve the life of the worthless
cur. Now who would be doing
the greatest injury to the com
munity, those who would spare
Mr.. Dog or those who would get
rid OF the worthless brute? We
must suppose the dog was worth
less and a nuisance, otherwise he
wo1ld not have been killed. | do
not object to the society above
mentioned. 1t has done a great
deal of good and no doubt would
do great deal Of good here.
But how are worthless dogs to be
killed? That should be the ques.
ton. There certainly is a right
way and wrong way to kill even
a dog-and right place and a
wrong place to do the deed.
JUSTICE TO THE Dogs.

Absolutely Fair.

The simple Australian ballot,
upon which all the candidates
for each office are grouped to,

party choice, is absolutely fair to
the candidate, and fair to all par.

1t works we'll in Massachusetts,: it
works well wherever tried. 1t has
never been tried in Pennsylvania.
The Gutfey bill as originally in.

the Australian ballot and it is
worth while to remember that no

the Gutfey bill except that its op.
