to discover remedial measures and tc
make them known to the public. The
object of the work, therefore. is of the
most practical character, and every eff
fort is devoted to the practical end. II
has been conservatively estimated that
the United States suffers an annual
economic loss from injurious insects OF
one kind or another of surely 100000.

Protecting Orchards from Frost.
Some Of the South Texas orange
growers have taken up the study of
devices to protect orchards against
winter cold. The California plan Of
burning oil in pipes laid throughout
the orchard and perforated at inter
walls Of 80 to 100 feet seems most like
ly to be favored in South Texas. This
region has the oil at it's door, and Oil
is more easily handled than wood fires.
1t is a certainty that South Texas or
ange orchards ought to be given this
protection, especially after the plant
ing Of other and more delicate varie-
ties than the Satsuma becomes general,
1t may not be needed oftener than once
in two or three years, but at such times
it will save orchards that, lacking
this protection. might be ruined. The
orchard fires in California, where oil
is burned, and in Florida, where wood
is handler and cheaper and therefore
most generally used, are regarded as a
legitimate and necessary charge
against the business. Not all the
growers make fres-there are some
men in every business that delight In
taking chances-but the majority of
the best growers in both States, and
especially in California, are prepared
thus to save their orchard investments.

Feeding Discarded Lambs.

There are various ways suggested to
make eve mother her own lamb or a
twin from another eve that has not
enough milk for both.
Some advise whipping the eve into
subsection, but this Is very cruel and
seldom satisfactory. When a eve loses
her own lamb and it is desired to make
her own another it has been recon-
mended to skin her own dead lamb and
tie the pelt over the lamb that is to
be adopted
This plan is sometimes satisfactory
If the ewes sense of smell is not very
keen, although it more often fails.
Other breeders have tried tying dog
near by, claiming that the maternal in
Stinet of the eve will exert itself and
1t will own the lamb while trying to
shield it from the dog.
Perhaps the most satisfactory meth
cd when eve refuses to own her
lamb is to fasten her in between hur-
dies
This gives her a chance to eat and al
the same time prevents her from turn
Ing around to butt the lamb. In such
a position, however, the eve will often
lie down. This may be prevented by
passing a light pole through the hur-
dies, resting it Cd the lower bars be
meath her belly.
The eve can be confined this way
throughout the day, and if the lamb
is at all lively he will manage to get
enough to eat. The eve should always
be released at night.
A day or two of such confinement is
often sufficient to bring an obstinate
eve to reason. Such hurdles can cas-
lily be made by any farmer, and it Is
well to have them on hand for Just
such emergencies.

FIRST ORANGES OF EUROPE.
Story of the Introduction of the Fruit
From China.


At time when tiny orange trees are
to be see mas table decorations, and
oranges innumerable are for sale, il is not
inappropriate to trace the introduction
of the fruit into Europe. According to
a Paris contemporary, says the London
Globe, after its Introduction into Eu-
rope from China a Carthaginian con-
ceived the idea of grating the yellow
mandarin orange upon the grenadier,
with the result that we have the blood
orange Jean de Castro introduced the
orange from the West Indies to Portu-
gal, and the first attempt to cultivate it
was made by the Constable de Bourbon
but after this revolt Francis |. continued
the experiments. At the time Louis XIV.
visited Toulon the Chevalier Paul, in
compliment to the King placed some
preserved oranges on trees in the orang-
cry. Ladies in the retinue, it is added,
were under the impression that these
oranges grew Sugared.

.PEDDLtR LAW KNOCKED OUT
Judge Snow Decides Law Is Unconsti-
tutional in Test Case Brought
at WinOna.

Winona, Mimi. May 29.-The first
round in the case brought to test the
constitntionality of the state peddlers'
license law, which was passed by the
last Legislature and which became eff
fective April 10 last, closed yester-
day, when Judge Arthur H. Snow Of
the district court handed down de-
cision in the case of the state VS.. T..
R. Muhdeking, holding that the law is
unconstitutional. He cites three rea-
sons for his findings in favor of the
peddlers.
First the court finds the law uncon-
stitutional because it exempts from
license all who sell that which they
themselves produce or grow; second,
he says the law is invalid because it
exempts permanent merchants who
solicit orders for the sale of their
goods in their home county and adj
joining ones, while, according to its
provisions, those who offer for sale
goods for future or present delivery
are required to secure a license:
thirdly, Judge Snow declares that the
exemption from license Of peddlers
in st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth is
class legislation, and therefore the act
is unconstitutional and invalid.
