Side View of Cricket.

SO characteristic Of our better-known
field erickets. Heretofore it has been
supposed that the white flower cricket,
Oecanthus niveus, was the most COM

in large measure for the numerous owl

similar relatively soft-stemmed plants,
writes Prof Felt, New York state en-
tomologist, in Country Gentleman Re-

the New York state experiment sta
ton and Mr.. Jensen of the entomolog-
ical department of Cornell university,

cricket usually deposits it's eggs in the

peach and plum, only one egg being
placed in a puncture, and the latter

HOW TO REMOVE LARGE LIMB
illustration Shows How Large Branch,
Hanging Over Roof, Was Easily
Taken Down.

l recently had occasion to remove
one of the main branches of a large
elm tree, writes C. o. Ormsbee of
Washington county, Vermont, in Farm
and Home. The branch in question
was IL inches in diameter, 35 feet long
and attached to the tree at height of
80 feet. 1t hung over a slate-roofed
barn, which made it necessary to keep
it off the roof. and it was not prac-
ticable to remove it in sections The
illustration shows the plan that was
adopted
First, ladder was placed against
the tree, then a pair of self-locking
pulleys. a, were suspended from the
limb. b, and attached to the branch
about four feet from the tree. Next, a
rope, C, was attached to one of the
larger limbs of the main branch, and
another rope, b d, attached to another
limb. The object of these ropes was
to prevent the end Of the branch from
falling upon the roof, and it was nee
essary to use two ropes to prevent it
from tipping and turning sidewise.
One end of the rope, 6, was
thrown over the limb at b and down
to the ground, where it was snubbed

The setting of scions is only the

Cyclamen plants should be rested

sparingly and kept as dormant as pos
sible.
Keep the chrysanthemums In a
shady place during the summer, water
regularly pinch into shape, prune and
train. Keep the plant free from in

hole under the leaves of the large
plant, set the slip about three inches
deep, allowing three joints to be under
the soil, and they are almost sure to
root.
In time Of drought, if water enough
to soak the ground is not to be had
regularly, it is better to give none to
most plants, as in that case plants
will adjust themselves to prevailing
conditions.
Give liquid manure only when the
ground is moist; the roots cannot alb
sorb the fertilizer when in want of
water; hence, the giving of fertilizers
during drought often results in the
death of the plant.

black-horned tree cricket. Oecanthus
nigricornis, while Mr.. Jensen at Ithaca
found the four-spotted tree cricket,
Oecanthus quadripunctatus, depositing
eggs in similar manner. These egg
punctures are in regular series, some
two or three inches long, and when
abundant are very likely to be fol-
lowed by the canes splitting or even
breaking during the winter. In some
instances three-fourths of tho canes
in a berry patch have been seriously
injured in this manner
The life history of these various
tree crickets, SO far as known, is very
similar. The eggs are deposited in
the fall in herbaceous or woody
stems, the young tree crickets hatch
ing in the spring and feeding on small
insects such as plant-lice. Maturity is
attained by midsummer or early fall,
and is followed by the deposition of
eggs as described above. The tree
crickets, aside from mechanical in
juries inflicted, must be regarded as
beneficial, since. they subsist on other
insects, though unfortunately the in
juries resulting from oviposition are
frequently extensive, and the presence
of the tree crickets Is, therefore, not
an unmitigated blessing. These in
sects are most abundant among coarse
weeds and shrubby growths. Conse-
quently the adoption of clean cultural
methods, so far as possible, will be
of considerable service in reducing
their numbers and preventing possible
injury.

WHY A CHILD LIES
Fibs Told by Boys and Girls
Explained.
DR.. Amy E. Tanner Has 1000 Instances
of Juvenile "Stories"-Says Some
Untruths Should Be En-
couraged.

Boston.-"Now, Willie, tell mother
exactly how many dogs there were
fighting in the back yard!" Willie's
mamma urges conscientiously.
"a st. Bernard dog, with big ears
and fr-r-r-r-ightfully long teeth, and
little curly dog-and several others
that is-you see-well, there were
six dogs anyway. some of the black
ones and the rest of them kinder
spotty-"
William" comments mamma
Anyway, there were a lot of dogs
cause I seen 'em, there was. Well
/ don't care, there was our dog, and
the Jones dog, and they almost had a
fight"
And Willie's mamma worries at
Willie's untruths and guesses that
Willie's Sunday school teacher isn't
doing all she ought to, and Willie's
papa who has, we'll, just about as
much feeling as most men-just ex-

that should be encouraged.
Yes, indeed, these lies are devel-
oping the child's imagination.
For long time childrens lies have
been made an object of study, and by
many scientists. My data are made
from 1000 to 1900 observations, or
brief accounts of things that were
actually seen. 1t is such interesting
work and we get such funny stories
sometimes. You know lie is not
just plain lie. There are lies and
lies.
For instance, there are the lies that
are nothing more than the workings
of fancy. A little boy comes home
and tells his mother that he heard his
kitty talking to his neighbor's kitty.
A child hears fairy story and will
go on with it. There are any number
of these childish fancies, which are
merely the working of the magma
ton
''The mother who does not recognize
this and who spanks her little boy
for saying that his kitty talked to
the neighbors kitty does wrong.
Then there is another kind of lie
that is very interesting-when the
child tells you what he would like to
have happen instead of what really
happens. For instance, you ask:
What occurred out on the walk?'
And he will tell you that a kitten
was playing with ball.
Then you say 'and? as If asking
for more, and very likely he will tell
you about another kitten. If you
keep on saying 'and-and-and' he will
keep it up as long as you do"
