70 XIII Rabbits.

Sayvine, L. Raymond Stryker
was out cunning whom y rabbit sat up
about fifty yards away in a clump of
puss willows. Stryker. who has been
wearing q glass oyo for q couple OF
weeks, lsvslsd his gun at the cotton
tai, then shut his good ere and blazed
away. When he opened tho good eye
the rabbit was dead. He did the same
with three other rabbits.
II am so used to cooking that eye,"
said Stryker when he returned to
town with his bag full of game, "that
just forgot the other eye was glass
one. You can take 1t from me that
saw those rabbits with my glass eye.
Else how could I have hit 'em? My
idea IL that the sight Of those rabbits
jumped into the glass eye for second
or so. Why, could see them as plain
as day. There's no doubt about it."

About Diagnosing Tree Ailments.

About Diagnosing Tree Ailments.
Many of the requests for informa-
tion in regard to trees and their all
ments that are received by State Zoo
logist H. A. Surface, Harrisburg, Pa,
are not definite enough, and 1t is diff
ficult to give the proper remedies in
consequence OF not having sufficient
information.
A manufacturer of Hanover, Pa,
wrote to Professor Surface, inquiring
what to do for the trees in his gar
den-pear, plum, cherry, ounce and
apricot,-which are suffering, and ap-
parently dying. Following is the
Professors answer, and it will be
we'll for those intending to write for
information concerning their trees to
observe the instructions given:
Replying to your letter as to what
to do for your fruit trees, beg to
say that the remedy depends upon
the kind of disease or trouble. l
would strongly suspect that your
trees are infested with San Jose scale,
but am not sure of this. The scale
attacks all varieties which you men
tion, and 1t will certainly make them
look sickly, and whose within very
few years. If you will send me some
twigs from your trees, can examine
them, and IL the trouble be San Jose
scale can let you know exactly about
this. can then tell you just how
and when to treat them. You are at
liberty to write to the Orchard In
spector for your county, asking him
to stop and see your trees at any
time when he Is in your nelghbor-
hood. He will doubtless let you know
when his business will take him
there.
"If l am passing that way soon, l
can come personally to see your trees,
but think the first thing is for you
to send me some of the twigs, and II
they have scale, or any evidence OF
plant disease, which can be detected
by an examination of them, l can give
you the diagnosis and outline the
remedy. This will answer the same
purpose as though 1, or one of my in
spectors, would take the time to come
and see them. Please be sure to put
your name on or in the package,
which may be sent to me by mall"

DRENcHEs Mr.. TAFT AND
CREATES EXCITEMENT.

Charlotte, n. G., May 20.--President
Taft came today to Charlotte, the home
Of the Mecklenburg declaration Of in
dependence, signed in May, 17I5, and
placed himself squarely on the side
Of those who look upon the declaration
as one of the first significant steps
which led ultimately to American in
dependence. In his address late in the
day, the president clearly explained his
policy toward the south.
II do not believe we are on the point
of political revolution in the south,'
he said. Il never have had such a
dream. What l do desire and believe
we are on the eve of, is a complete
tolerance of opinion and that there
shall grow into respect and power an
intelligent fighting opposition party in
each state"
AS to his appointment of democrat
to the bench, the president declared
that throughout the south he intended
to pursue the policy Of appointing to
office only that man, who, republican
or democrat can command the highest
confidence and commend himself to
the community in which he lives.
Mr. Taft's tribute to the Mecklen-
burg declaration was loudly cheered.
He said it showed wisdom self -reli-
ance and Il willingness to accept the
responsibility of maintaining a gov
ernment of law and order.

just us the splendid floral and military
parade WAS passing in review before

of the reviewing stand into a panic
and there was 81 wild rush for shelter.
The presidents box was IL goal for
many men and women and the chief
executive had to be surrounded to save
him from the sudden crush.
A passing industrial float became
entangled in live electric wire and
tore 1T from its support, the slender
thread of copper sagging almost to the
heads of the crowd below To, add
to the tense situation there was a
binding flash of flame and a loud re-
port not so yards from where the
president stood TT developed later
that some black powder intended for
saluting purposes had been prema-
tufelN ignited. No one was injured.
The president received quite a
drenching and for a time it seemed
that the frai canvas covering the re-
viewing stand would tumble about the

Helena, May 2O.-"1t is my obserya-
ton that the development of the aSrl-
cultural resources of Montana and
the settlement Of it's waste places is
retarded more BY the lack Of modern
irrigation laws, such as are possessed
by Idaho Washington and other states
where the development of irrigated
lands is going on apace, than from
any other cause" said Frederick II.
Newell of Washington, d. c., director
of the United States reclamation serv-
ice, today.
Mr. Newell is now on his way to
washington from an extensive trip
throughout the west, during the course
of which he has visited or will visit
almost every government irrigation
project in the country. A week will
be spent in Montana by the director,
examining the various projects here,
and he will then go to Wyoming and
North Dakota and thence on to WASH
ington.
Southern Idaho and other states
farther westward are rapidly filing
up" continued Mr.. Newell, land the
only reason for it is that the water
right laws on their statute books are
such as to guarantee to the investor
in great irrigation projects the rights
to which he is entitled. There a pros
pectve investor can ascertain very
quickly from files kept in the office
of the state engineer, just how much
unapprOpriated water there is in any
stream. Water right litigation is not
heard of in those states. But in Mon
tana there is no way by which an in
vestor can ascertain where and how
much unappropriated water there is,
and even after he makes an exhaustive
Search Of the records and secures the
data his plans are liable to be upset
at any moment by litigation. This is
a matter which your state legislature
should consider and remedy
