BIRDS IN ORCHARDS.
Friends of Fruit Grower Who Are Not
Often Appreciated.

From the Indiana Farmer.
One of the best friends the orchardist
has in the winter is the chickadee 1t is
busy all the day long searching for food
on the bark in the woods, in the orchards
or wherever there are trees 1t will destroy
the larvae of the Goblin moth or apple
worm, the little grubs of the fruit-bark
beetles and the eggs of plant lice, tent cat
erpillars and like insects that remain on
the bark over winter. Bulletin 1874 Of the
Ohio agricultural experimental station
makes the statement that more than $50 of
the black eggs laid by plant lice are known
to have been eaten by a single chickadee
in one day. Taking one-fourth that num-
Der as an average for one bird, more than
1900 eggs will have been consumed by
one chickadee during the months Of Deem
Der, January, February and March. The
bulletin further states that no bird COM
pares with 1t in destroying the female cank-
erworm moths and their eggs.
The tufted titmouse, belonging to the
same family the chickadee, is. also
valuable winter visitor. It's food consists
more largely of seeds and nuts than the
chickadee. but at the same time it is a
valuable forager in the orchard during the
winter. The little brown creeper that
quaint tree climber, is noted one of the
most conscientious, thoroughgoing insect
he rapidly ascends by spiral creeping
movement picking up in his course insects
so small that scarcely any other bird would
detect them.
The woodpeckers are busy creatures dur
ing winter, hunting for wood-boring larvae
and wood-burrowing ants Nearly one
fourth Of the food Of the downy woodpeck-
er consists of ants, most of which are
wood borrowers. The hairy woodpecker
eats fewer ants than the downy, buXtmore
beetle larvae and caterpillars. There are
other winter birds that are more or less
beneficial to the horticulturist, but the
above-named are especially valuable, and
no work can be done in the orchard in the
winter by man that will at all compare in
value to that done by these little workers
Birds may be attracted to an orchard
even though 1t may be some distance. from
the woods, and they have not been in the
habit of frequenting 1t. The chickadees,
titmice and woodpeckers will unfaiingly
come If meat or suet is tied to the limbs.
For several years we have tried this PLAN
A large apple tree stands little more than
rod from the kitchen door, and through
the winter we keep beef bones and suet
tied to the limbs and also shallow box
nailed to post near by in which are kept
cracked nuts and some seeds We are re-
warded by having numbers Of these birds
with us all winter. Aside from the com
partnership of the birds, we feel that 1t paws
in dollars and cents to do what we can to
attract them to the orchard

MOUNTAIN cHARLEY's FEAT


How He Conquered q Grizzly With
His Bare Hands.
| Nearly all old Californians, says the
author Of early Days In California"
have heard of Mountain Charley"
who lived in the Santa Cruz noun
! tains, where he hunted bear and deer.
OF his adventures, many of which were
remarkable, there is none stranger
than his fight with grizzly.
One morning he started out with his
gun. He had gone but short distance
when he found himself face to face
with a grizzly. The bear was sitting
on his launches reaching for acorns
when Charley came upon him. The
hunter tried to bring his rife up, but,
being at such close quarters, the bear
disarmed him by striking the weapon
with its paw and knocking it out Of his
hands. At the same time he embraced
Charley.
Both fell to the ground. Being on
hillside, they rolled over and over until
they reached the ravine below, when
the bear loosened its hold, yet did not
seem inclined to give up the fight.
Charley realized that his only chance
was to wind" the bear by striking him
with his fist over the heart. He landed
blow as near the region as possible.
He struck first with one fist and then
with the other in rapid succession when
he found the bear weakening.
By this time they were close to the
embankment Of the creek. The bear
had lost no time in getting in his
scratches and bites. 1t had made one
wound over the hunters forehead and
down the cheek to the bone and had
torn one of his eyes from the socket. 1t
had also fastened Its teeth In the mans
left arm and made an ugly wound
there.
With desperate lunge Charley shov-
ed the bear over the embankment into
the water. Then, too weak to stand, he
fell exhausted upon the ground. The
bear was apparently in the same condl-
ton. It waded to the opposite bank
and lay down.
At last the bear rose to its feet and
walked up the stream, frequently stop
ping and looking back, as If hesitating
whether or not to renew the fight. Go
ing at slow pace, it finally disap-
peared.
When Mountain Charley thought he
could move with safety, he crawled to
the stream and drank little water,
then washed the blood from his face,
pushed the eye back into the socket
and crawled to his home. He was tax
en- to San Jose for medical treatment.
The bones of one arm were broken.
Several months passed before he re-
covered. His eye was not destroyed,
but his face was so disfgured that his
friends hardly knew him. Not discour-
aged by this terrible experience, how
ever, he continued to hunt until game
became scarce.

COUGHS AND COUGHING.
Natures Method of Clearing the Air
Passages-Useless Coughs.

Natures Method of Clearing the AIT
Passages-Useless Coughs.
A cough was intended by nature as
means Of removing some offending
substance from the air passages, and
If the irritation of the mucous men,
brane of the larynx and bronchial
tubes, caused by the presence Of some
strange body or of the usual mucous
secretion In too great quantity, did not
excite the expulsive act which we call
danger of suffocation every time we
had q slight attack Of bronchitis or a
cold in the chest.
If a cough were occasioned only in
this way it would be most useful
measure, and there would bCNao more
need for cough mixtures than for rem
edies to arrest breathing, but the hui
man machine sometimes gets out OF
order, like any other mechapism. The
wires get crossed, and message sent
from some distant organ, like the liver,
for example, may get switched over to
the nerve center which regulates the
complex series of movements produc-
ing cough. This center, receiving
stimulus from somewhere, responds
lust as If the message came from the
larynx, and cough Is established.
This ''liver cough" does no good, and
the sooner it is stopped the better.
Again, the mucous membrane OF
some portion of the air tubes, instead
of secreting too freely, may become
dry. The nerve center is warned me-
chemically that there is something irrt-
tating the larynx or bronchial tubes,
and it starts a cough to get rid of it.
This cough, too, is useless, and worse
than useless, for it serves only to irri-
tate still more the infiamed mucous
membrane.
Cough may also be excited by alb
normal conditions in the nose, ears
or gullet or may occur as symptom
Of disease of the heart, kidneys or
nervous system. In such cases 1t Is
the endeavor of the physician to arrest
the cough by discovery and removal
of the cause, If possible, or, If this
cannot be done. by the administration
of cough remedies.
In cough due to dryness Of the mu-
cous membrane Of the air tubes the
remedies employed are those that will
promote flow of mucous to moisten
the offending part. This can sometimes
be accomplished without medicine, by
the inhalation of the vapor rising from
a pitcher Of hot water to which tea
spoonful of benzoin has been added.
Until the cause Of cough Is known
the use Of powerful cough medicines,
most of which contain paregoric or OPT
um in some form, is most inadvisabla

''That is" he went on to explain,

Then he'd whisper to mother again,

shad Need Protection.

''Shad fisheries of the Atlantic
coast are doomed unless the states
take immediate steps to protect
them from the rapacity of the fish
ermen,o is the opinion held by
John W. Ticomb, in charge of the
Matching service of the United
States fish commission.
The great demand for shad roe
prevents natural spawning and per.
petuatiOn of the species. The
bureau is now closing the Matching
and distribution of shad for this
year, and reports from various
stations give startling evidence that
the supply of shad on the Atlantic
seaboard is rapidly diminishing.
Facilities of the bureau allow the
Matching and setting free in the
streams of the country 800, 900, 900
shad fry annually, but this year
only $4,000, goo have been handled
The output was 80, 493, 900 in the
year 1904, and last year it was
below Of 600, 900.
In pointing out a remedy Mr..
Titcomb says it is incumbent on the
states to enact restricting laws
against the taking of fish in the
brackish waters of the bays and at
the mouths of the river. He be.
lieves the fish should be allowed to
ascend the rivers unmolested, at
least during one of the annual runs,
possibly that in May, and during a
considerable part of the shad sea-
son the catch should be limited to
fresh water.
Streams on the Pacific coast have
been stocked and the shad trans.
planted from its native waters in
the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific
with good results. Shad are in
creasing in California and other
Western rivers under the re-
strictive laws there enforced.
