While the value of the birds to the farm
er, orchardist and planter has for years
been recognized, it is believed by the au-
thorities that their Importance in pre-
serving the forests is not generally known.
According to recent report of the gov
eminent, insects alone cause an annual
loss to the trees of the country estimated
at over hundred million dollars. On
the oak alone 400 species of insects, which
are sought and consumed by the birds of
the forests, prey constantly, the experts
of the Biological Survey have discovered.
On the willow 1856 such species constantly
attempt its destruction, on the pine l65,
on the hickory ITO, on the birch los and
on the elm. Careful analysis of the stom-
achs of thousands of woodpeckers, titmice,
creepers, kinglets, wood warblers, wrens,
fy-catchers, swallows, nut matches and
other birds of the woods show that their
constant labor is to consume just these
devastating insects.

The plants are treated in every way

benches, with about six inches Of soil,
but In the experience of others the best
results have been obtained from the
use Of boxes eighteen inches square

stead of the boxes the plants are set
about sixteen inches apart each way,

for each plant
Best returns usually follow where
the plants are trained to a single stem,

boxes or TO wires placed parallel to

EVANGELIST TOY.
Brief Sketch of the Great Evangelist to
Be in Barre for Two Weeks.

Rev. D. S. Toy, D. D., is man in
middle life, and well known in evangel-
istic circles, having been associated with
D. L, Moody for several years, and with
DR.. Chapman for the last nine years.
During the Spanish American war, he
was sent by Mr.. Moody to Chickamauga
park for special work among the thou
sands of soldiers stationed there and has
many telling Illustrations of his expert
ence there Since he has been associated
with DR.. Chapman he has both held in
dividual meetings and taken part in the
city campaigns having been in all of the
Pacific coast cities, in the great cities
Of the middle West, and some Of the
most important Of the East.
Mr.. Toy, during his early life, was
engaged in business and, like many
other men Of his happy disposition, tray-
eled the broad path"
Following his conversion, which was
most remarkable. and the story of which
he sometimes tells, he, after continuing
in business for a few years, decided to
prepare for the ministry, and was for
several years a pastor, part Of the
time in his native state, Maryland, and
latterly in New York City.
Feeling, however, that he could exert
a wider influence as an evangelist, he
resigned his pastorate and now deyotes
all of his time to eyangelistic work. In
this city he is in one Of the important
districts.
Mr.. Toy is specially effective in speak.
ing to men, whose attention and interest
he easily holds, and where he can be
induced to tell the story of his life, the
effect on the audience is remarkable DR..
Chapman regards him as one of the most
efficient men in the party.

UNIQUE ADVERTISING
BY LOCAL MERCHANT
N. Salmon Offers $5 Pair Of Shoes to
All Ball Players Who Can Hit
Big Siqnboard.

Those who journey down to the
baseball park July and 5 will be able
to see something new and unique in
the way Of advertising. In deep center
field will be large sign board upon
which will be an offer of five dollar
pair Of shoes to the player who is able
to bat the ball against the signboard.
Nathan Salmon, Santa Fe's enterpris-
ing merchant, is the originator of the
scheme. A st. Louis shoe house took
kindly to the idea and will help Mr..
Salmon pay off the players who are
successful in placing fly against the
boards.
The sign board is about ten feet
long and seven high. It will be placed
sufficiently near home plate so that an
average batter will be able to win a
pair of shoes. There is no limit to the
number Of shoes player may be
lucky enough to win, in fact, Mr.. Sal.
mon stated that he would be disap'
pointed if several pairs OF shoes were
not claimed.
However, If the batters are unable
to place a ball against the sign board
then Mr.. Salmon proposes to give tc
the first player who makes a home
run pair Of shoes. He wants it un
derstood that he has shoes to give
away and the supply is unlimited.
