The plum curculio Is an enemy not
only to the fruit of the plum tree, but
also to that of the cherry, peach, APP
pie, pear and ounce. The beetle of
this insect is of dark-brown color,
.yarlegated with spots of white, yellow
and black, and is less than one-fourth
of an inch kiflength. 1t has short,
curved snout; when disturbed, 1t can
bend up under Its breast. and, with
legs drawn together, 1t may be mis-
taken for knot, or a wart of limb,
or dried bud. When the female is
about to deposit her eggs she makes a
minute cut In the fruit with her Jaws,
then, thrustlng her snout Into the cut,
enlarges 1t sufficiently for the recep-
ton Of the egg turning around, she
drops an egg Into the opening, which
she afterwards thrusts to the bottom
Of the cut with her snout. Each female
can deposit from five to ten eggs Il
day. The egg in time produces a
agrub,' which causes the fruit to fall
while immature. When 1t has com.
pleted Its larval life, 1t leaves the
fruit and burrows into the ground,
where 1t remains for about three weeks
and then emerges In the beetle form.

SHEEP DOGS ARE KNOWING.

Recognize by Sight and Smell Each
Animal of Flock.
What a herd dog has first to learn is
to know every one of the 200 or 800
sheep, and to know them both by sight
and smell. This he does thoroughly.
When Watterson was running sheep on
the plains he had a young collie not yet
put to the herd, but kept about the
pumping plant. AS the sheep came In
by hundreds to the troughs the dog
grew SO to know them that when they
had picked up stray from another

darling as hornet, nipping and yelp-
Ing, parted 1t out from the band. At
the time no mere man would have pre-
tended, without the aid of the brand,
to recognize any of the thousands that
bore II.
How long recollection stays by the
dog is not certain, but at least a
twelvemonth, as was proved to Fllon
Girard after he had lost third of
his band when the Santa Anna came
roaring up by Lone Pine with a cloud
OF saffron-colored dust on Its wings,
After shearing of next year, passing
close to another band, Filon's dogs set
themselves unbidden to routing out of
It, and rounding with their own, nearly
twenty head. which the herder, being
an honest man, freely admitted he had
picked up on the mesa following after
Filon the spring before.
Quick to know the .willful and I'M
bfddable members of flock, the wise
collie is not sparlng of bites, and, fol.
lowing after stubborn stray, will Of
ten throw 1t and stand guard until help
arrives or the sheep shows better
mind. But the herder who has a dog
trained at the difficult work Of herdine
sheep through the chutes and runways
into boats and cars for transportation
is the fortunate fellow.
There was Pete's dog, Bourdaloue
that at the Stockton landing, with nc
assistance, put 800 wild sheep from
the highlands on the boat in eight min
utes, by running along the backs of the
flock until he had picked out the stub
born or stupid leaders that caused the
sheep to jam in the runway, and by
sharp bites, set them forward, himself

Prof. Moore Says Weather Recollec-

Prof. Willis l.. Moore, chief OF the

reason that he believes that Is the only
way to convince people of the error
In the idea that the winters are be-

conceptions, SO nothing suits him bet

Moore will say in his medltations.

Shortly after Adam and Eve began
to take Interest in affairs arose the
story about the climate growing mild

to trace back this weakness In per-
ception and memory to Thomas Jeffer-
son and Prof. Moore has such conf
dence in Jefferson that he regards him
as typical of human nature through the
centuries past. The chief of the
weather bureau points out in papers at
the State Department where Jefferson
wrote: 1T is apparent that the climate
of Virginia is changed. The old In

c.nad.,. chee.e Trade.

Canada's export cheese trade last
year was nearly ten times as great as
that of the United States, the figures
being $4,000, 600 and s.. 100, 900. How
ever, the trade Of the United States
showed a large increase over 1905,
when it was only $4,000. At a re-
cent meeting of Canadian dairymen It
was urged that they keep up the high
quality Of their product in order to re-
tain their trade. 1t was said that a
few years ago the export trade Of the
United States in cheese was greater
that that of Canada, but that the
Americans lost their trade by making
export cheese from skinned milk. Now
there Is a disposition on the part Of
the Americans to improve the quality
of their cheese, and In this they are
being assisted by the dairy division of
the Department of Agriculture. The
result is that we are regaining our
trade, and the Canadians realize that
they must maintain high quality to
hold theirs. Rivalry Of this kind will
prove beneficial to both countries.

resulted very much In favor Of the

difference was greater as the plants

days earlier than those from small
seed. produced marketable peas four
days earlier, and the main crop five
