How to Stop Their Ravases Of Crops

The annual damage caused by field
mice to crops. nurseries and orchards
in the United States has been estimat-
ed by the agricultural department at
over $4,000 900. There are fifty spe-
cies Of mice.
With few exceptions the short tailed
field mice are readily distinguishable
from other mice by their stout, chunky
bodies. short legs. short. round tails.
blunt muzzles, short ears and rather
small eyes. The species shown in the

They live almost everywhere in
damp meadows, where their presence
may be detected among the grass and
weeds by small. we'll defined. crooked
trails. along which at intervals are
little heaps of fresh grass or other
heritage. In alfalfa or clover fields
their burrows are usually
in colonies. AS a rule. they appear
first along bitches or about damp
areas, where dead plants are almost
certain evidence of their work.
In the past many methods Of de-
stroying field mice have been tried.

MRS. Pankhurst In America.

Mrs. Pankhurst In America.
The visit to New York Of Mrs. En-

thpn anew to the difference between
American and British suffrage meth
DDS. Mrs. Pankhurst u the vio-
lence employed by her party on the
ground that 1t is necessary to break
the press boycott; that they could not
get publicity without resorting to sem
sationalism, and without publicity
they could not make their cause a
vital issue. She says further that they
acted on the advice Of former Premier
Balfour. 1t would be unkind to sug-
gest that Mr.. Balfour shrewdly adj
yised this move to embarrass the Lib
|eral government. Granting his good
faith, was his counsel wise? 1t has

England, it certainly is true that such
violence would not have helped votes
for women in America. Indeed, such
la situation would have been impossi-
Eb1e here.
Perhaps Mrs. P%ankhurst's most tell
ing point in her Carnegie hall address
was her appeal to men. After recount
ing the battles men had fought to gain
their rights she said. addressing men
collectively. What would you do in
our place." The question, Of course,
brought a storm Of applause. but sober
second thought dissipates Its force.
Right in Mrs. P%ankhurst's own coun-
try of England manhood suffrage has
been much extended in the past cen
fury and without such sensational and
violent scenes as have attended the
Pankhurst style of campaign. But
even If men had used force. does it fol-
low that woman should employ the
same weapon? Can she not make her
highest and most effective appeal in a
more gentle and winning way?

Wrapping Fruit In Paper.

Wrapping Fruit In Paper.
Any method OF handling apples that
hastens the ripening after the fruit is
packed shortens the period of CONNER.
cial value. Any treatment that checks
the ripening prolongs the marketing
period. The value Of wrapping apples
in paper has been tested in both sea-
sons BY the experiment station of the
Iowa College Of Agriculture and Me-
chanic Arts. The comparison was
made with duplicate quantities of fruit
that e grown and handled in the
same way. One lot was not wrapped.
and with the other each apple was
wrapped In imprinted newspaper.
With some varieties like the Gano.
Roman Stem. Salome. Winesap and
other hard, late ripening sorts the
advantage Of wrapping in paper was
not very apparent. But with tender
varieties like the Clemens, Jonathan
and Wealthy n wrapper was a dis.
tinct advantage in extending the life
OF the fruit, preserving its natural
brightness and lessening the amount
of decay. A wrapper serves to reduce
the bruising that. may result from. Is,or
packing or from rough handling in
transportation. 1t retards shriyelins
and adds to the value Of the fruit BY
preserving its attractive appearance.
The wrappers cost about 20 cents per
thousand for newspaper 8 by Il
