Harrisburg. Pa.-Secretary kalbfus
of the state game commission has Is
sued circular for general informa.
ton of the public entitled. Save Our
Birds and Came" in which he details
Mt length methods whereby game and
wild birds can best be protected and
cared for. He also embodies recon-
meudations as to the trapping and
care of quail. and the use OF poison
for the determination Of vermin and
crows.
In his circular DR.. Kalbfus says
that the greatest protector of plant
lice ia the common ant, and the great
est destroyer OF the ant is the COM
mon flicker. which sometimes con-
sumes 5000 ants at one meal. and
thereby leads to the destruction OF
the lice. He also pays high tribute
to the partridge or quail as a de-
stroyer of plant vermin. and says It
eats potato bugs. cinch bugs. cater.
pillars, spiders, cotton boil weevil. and
other insects and vermin. and should
be protected.

The following tells Of the mosquito
and the alleged preference Of that san
culinary insect for colors and persons:
II is stated that the mosquitoes are
strongly Influenced In choosing their
victims by the color Of their clothes.
In 1s4l Spence found that loose
fabric of white threads kept mosqui-
toes away much more effectively than
one of black threads. Jolly observed
in Madagascar that mosquitoes prefer
to alight ON black soil rather than on
white sandy soil, and rather on. black
shoes and clothes than on white. The
natives OF Madagascar even suspend
pinces Of black fabric from the cell
inas of their huts In order to attract
tho mosquitoes to It. Jolly also found
thxt light dogs were tormented less
nv mosuuitoes than black ones, ne
vroes more than Europeans. Similar
obsaryations were made in India. The
Enrlishmer, Mutual and Shipley. found
TINT Anopheles maculipennis preferred

GERMAN MEAT FAMINE.
Bramburg. Germany.


The Statistical Correspondence for
Prussia publishes report on the
slaughtering Of animals during the
second quarter of the year 1906. The
figures show plainly that the meat
supply difficulty still exists.
In the four years from 1901 to 1904
the total increase OF calves and cattle
raised In Prussia was only 56.367 head.
which does not keep pace with the
heavy increase OF the population. The
number OF oxen and bulls raised In
creased only 90 per cent. Up to
March the deficit caused by the In
sufficient raising Of stock could be GOV.
cred by the Importation Of cattle. but
with the new tariff imposing much
higher import duties this source for
supplying the need Is greatly re-
stricted.
The conditions are worse in the sup
ply Of hogs. In Prussia there were
81. 400 fewer hogs slaughtered in the
second quarter Of 1906 than in the
same quarter OF 1905. The German
empire at large has not yet published
exact statistics for the same quarter,
but 1t 10 not expected that figures will
show an Improvement on those quoted
by Prussia. II is fact that while in
the first quarter Of the year 1905 g.
924, $50 hogs were officially inspected
for slaughter in the German empire.
in the same quarter Of 1906 the figures
dropped to 3.237,O79. This would seem

One OF these establishments is
owned by the city Of Rheims and there

about 300 washerwomen ut one time,

they charge the washerwomen NOM

by steam or electric power. but are
in use only In the larger cities. A rev.

place before there can be a market In
France for our washing machines.

Rheims has public bath in connec-
