The apple belt Of Maine is suffering
from visitation of field mice, which
have devastated the orchards, so that
it will require several years of careful
nursing before the apple crop will be
up to standard. These animals are so
tiny that it seems impossible that they
could cause SO much damage, but the
seriousness of them is due not to their
size but their numbers. They nave
been allowed to multiply very rapidly
in the past few years by the destruc
ton of their natural enemies, the
crows, jays, shrikes, owls and hawks.
These birds have been killed off in
great numbers by the farmers because
Of the damage they are supposed to do
the crops and in thus disturbing ma

brought down upon themselves an

The mice attack the fruit trees,
gnawing the bark from the base, so
that the tree is seriously injured and
often killed. The State agricultural
experts are working on the problem,
but they are unable to offer any solu-
ton, except that Of protecting the nat
ural enemies of the mice. Poisoning is
not successful, for the reason that
other animals are destroyed at the

LANDING IN ENGLAND.
Going Through the Custom House Is

There is no country where the matter
of landing from American passenger
ships is so easy and 50 eXpeditiously
done as England, says the Travel maya
zine OF course, it is a free trade coun-
try. the freest in the whole world.
There are duties levied on tobacco and
spirits, but travellers are allowed a half
pound Of tobacco. III any shape and a
half pint of spirits, which also means
the same as perfume. Sugar is dutiable
whether in grain, sweets or i'll jam, but
q small quantity is freely passed.
In all cases, however, these goods must
be the actual property of the passenger
and be for his use and control. Cocoa
coffee and tea are also dutiable. as are
reprints of English books. Outside Of
these things, as named, passengers can
bring in anything, motors, cycles, horses
but not dogs. for which animal a rot to
exceed six months quarantine awaits
Keep dogs on the American side.

pointees-under the civil scrvice-and will

SCULPTOR AT WORK IN JAZZ.
Accused of Wife Murder, He Models
Royal Group for the Government.

The Italian sculptor c. Cisariello. who
has been in prison at Naples for the last
eighteen months, has recently been al
lowed to practice his art in the prison
The idea was suggested to him by pos
tai card sent to him 10y friend. with Il
portrait of the Crown Prince of Italy
on it.
He sketched group showing the King
and Queen and the boy and made appH-
cation for modelling clay and tools and
for permission to have child of . years
to visit him daily to serve rs model for
Prince Humbcrt. The tools and clay were
furnished, but the child model was re-
fused.
Cisaricllo went on with the work and
he has just finished it. Fellow prison
ers occasionally posed for the adult fig
ures, but he had no material for the child
except the postal card.
Notwithstanding this, the work is said
to have merit. The government has or
dered the model to be east in bronze and
the finished work is to be set up in
front of the prison.
Cisariclo's trial is expected to begin

Selecting Mich Cows.

That one COW can be made to do the
work OF two has been found to be
easily accomplished by the selection of
the best individuals. A Vermont dairy
man, whose cows produced 100 pounds
of butter each per year, has succeed
ed in getting 200 pounds per year from
each COW in the herd. Dairymen in
other sections have done fully as well.
1t is claimed that if one COW gives
as much as formerly did two, there
is a saving in stable room, labor and
care. This cannot be accomplished,
however, unless the cows are reared
on the farm, or purchased from i'm
proved breeds. Feed, of course, is
an important matter, also, but a good
COW will give more product from the
food eaten than Will an inferior COW
that is fed in the same manner.
