Ravages of the Brown-Tail Moth.
The ravages Of the brown-tail moth
have become so great in different parts
Of the country that some concerted eff

Matched in midsummer, and the pest

they live until spring, when they come
out to feast on the buds, blossoms and
leaves. 1t is at this season of the
year, and later, while the trees are de-
void of foliage that the main work to
exterminate them must be done.
While the moth Is in winter quar-
tiers he and she can be readily reached.
Obtain pruning shears mounted on a
long handle and operated by wire in

orchard and anywhere on the grounds
and cut off the twigs on which the

carefully, then gather them. and. after
taking them out of the orchard, burn
them. Only in this way can one be
certain of their destruction. The plan

Practical Poultry House Idea,

experience in housing fowls. This
house has small roosting and laying
room and one very small window. This
insures warm roOsting place in win
ter "a slat outside door can be used in
summary and a dark place for laying,
which gives an ideal condition. In
stead of an open shed scratching room
(Which will fill with snow in North

large sliding windows Is provided.
Wire netting can he placed over these
to keep the fowls in and the windows
can be opened to any width, permitted

Had a Good Time

There is a very fine jersey bull at
Uplands Farm near Deer Park. 1t
was purchased when tiny little fell
low and sent to Deer Park in a crate
by U. S. Express. 1t comes of the
very bestl stock and is a real simon
pure Jersey. The big fellow, who is
called Robert, is kept in an enclosure,
and on Sunday last, in some way the
gate was left open and Robert camly
walked out into a rich field of timothy
and clover. Three persons endeayor-
ed to collar him and get him back,
bat he had no inclination to return to
the short pasture when so inviting a
field was open to him.
Some stacks of hay attracted his
attention and he scattered those
stacks about as though they had
been struck by d cyclone. 1t afford
ed him great amusement to scatter
the new hay about and after time
he was captured and put back.
Robert is a magnificent specimen
of an animal, and is regarded as a val
liable acquisition to the farming in
terests of Garrett county.
