Insects That Save Orange Orchards
and Fertlliac FiG Trees.

Everybody's Magazine for jun contains
a highly interesting statement of l.. o.
Howard of the United States department
of agriculture concerning successful at
tempts to destroy pests by introducing
their parasitic enemies.
One of the most notable OF these at
tempts was that through which. a dozen
years ago, the vedalia Cor Australian

where within the space of a year II prac-
tically destroyed the white or fluted scale.
which had for more than a decade been
causing m damage to orange
trees
This parasite was discovered as the re-
suit Of a deliberate search in Australia.
where this scale was found to exist. but
only In harmless numbers. The parasite
was .ent four years ago to orange grow
ers In Portugal. whose orchards were
latter wa destroyed precisely as 1t had
been In California. A like service has
been rendered by the California people to
portions of South Africa.
The black scale. which some years ago
threatened to destroy the olive orchards
of California has likewise become the VIC
tim of another ladybird beetle imported
from Australia. and also of a parasitic ny
found I'm South Africa. From the latter
county, too. there has been imported a
fungus disease. discovered and success
fully applied there, for destroying grass
hoppers. Culture tubes OF this disease
are now being prepared by the depart
ment of agriculture for distribution dur
ing the coming summer to places In this
country afflicted with the now diminished
evil of g~rasshoppers.
So important and well recognized has
the search for remedies for injurious In
sects become that those officially en-
gagged I'm the search hav formed the As

European members of this society will
try this summer to send to this country

fruit trees.
Moreover, a new industry appears to
have been brought into the United States
during the last two years by the intro
duction and acclimatization OF the little
insect which fertilizes the Smyrna Hg In
Mediterranean countries. Owing to The
presence of this insect last year-it was
introduced In 1s90-the raising of figs In
California became a pronounced though
limited success.
These facts open up some of the benefit

sessions will continue to hang on to our
decaying old fabric of government with
all Its royalistic tomfoolery1 Canada will
y" her way. and the straight road for
her Is across the Niagara bridge, right
down to Washington. That Is her inevi-

new dominion a part OF the republic, and
a lot OF politicians at Ottawa and an
other set here in st. Stephens cannot
forever succeed In blocking her designs.
We shall lose Canada just as surely as
we lost the thirteen colonies.
Now, turn your eyes in another direc.

views on government OF any country IN

What have YOU left when these go? In

be taken away before either of the other
two goes of her own accord.
The empire is intact now. My policy
would be to republicanize IT, and turn II

The Retort Courteous.

In 1888 Gen. Henry Knox enjoyed the
honor of being the greatest OF eleven
distinguished officers OF the army,
weighing go pounds. Noah Brooks. in
his book entitled Henry Knox" says
Of him: with a captain sergeant he
was selected to present the hard case
of the starving and naked men at Val
ley Forge to the attention Of a commit
tee OF congress.
"One OF the congressman, wishing to
show his wit and sarcasm, said that he
had never seen a fatter nan than Gen.
Knox nor n better dressed mar than
his associate. Knox managed to keep
his temper and remained silent, but his
subordinate retorted:

gress and themselves, nave sent as
their representative the only man who
had an ounce OF superfluous flesh on
his body, and the only other one who
