Origin Of the Crib.

The Catholic Encyclopedia gives the
following in reference to the origin Of
the Devotion Of the Crib:
devotion to the Crib is no doubt
of very ancient origin, but it remained
for st. Francis of Assist to popular
ize it and give to it the tangible form
in which it is known at the present
time. When st. Francis visited Rome
in 1928 he made known to Pope Hon
orius Ill the plans he had conveived
of making a scenic representation Of
the place of the Nativity. The Pope
listened gladly to the details Of the
project and gave it his sanction. Leav-
ing Rome st. Francis arrived at Gree
cio on Christmas eve, when, through
the aid of his friend, Giovanna Velita,
he constructed Crib and grouped
around it figures of the Blessed Virgin
and st. Joseph, the ass, the OK and the
shepherds who came to adore the new
born Saviour. He acted as deacon at
midnight mass. The legend relates
that having sung the words of the
Gospel, and they laid Him in aa man.
ger, he knelt down to mediate briefly
on the sublime mystery of the incarna-
tion, and there appeared in his arms
a child surrounded by brilliant light.

Strengthening lII-Shaped Tree.

angle left (Which would be done in
time) the least desirable branch is
cut off at distance of six or eight
inches above the crotch. The stub
left is utilized as a post or anchor by
drawing it and the remaining branch
together to the extent that the chosen
branch assumes perpendicular posi-
ton. A strong, soft Irvine or strip Of
strong cloth is used to tie the two
parts at the proper distance from each
other to maintain the upright position
OF the branch that Is to form the con-
tinuance of the trunk. This work may
be done in late winter or early spring
any time before growth begins. The
stub left should not be allowed to
produce any further growth of new
shoots. It will remain as it Is until
its mission Of support is accomplish
ed, when it should be removed as de-
signed in No. 8. All the strength Of
the tree being thrown into the upright
branch remaining will cause this
branch to make very rapid growth,
and the laterals springing out from
It's buds may be trained into a SYM
metrical head at any desired height
from the ground. After the first sea-
sons growth there will be no need

DESTROY INSECTS IN WINTER
Careful Examination Of Trees Will
Often Bring to Light Many Co.
coons In Secret Places.

There are several kinds of insects
that spend the winter on the fruit
tree, either in the egg, larval or pupal
state, and while the orchard is young
good work can be done at destroying
them. 1t does not not require much
time to look over a tree as long as
the inspection can be made from the
ground, says Farmers Review. On
large trees, however, such course is
impracticable.
One species Of eanker worm passes
the winter in the egg Clusters of
these eggs are to be found on limbs
and twigs from whic.4 they can read
lily be removed. AS these clusters
contain a hundred or more eggs each
the future can be saved by DESTROYING
them
The eggs of tent caterpillars are
laid in clusters by the moth in July
and remain till the following spring
Covered with kind of varnish. they
are impervious to the storms of win
ter They should be removed when
ever found, thereby saving the tree
from feeding two or three hundred
hungry caterpiliers for each nest.
Leaf crumplers make themselves
so conspicuous that a word of warming
Is scarcely necessary. The larvae tie
together leaves and make nests in
which they hibernate In the spring
they come forth and attack both leaf
and blossom, continuing till July
when they pupate. OF course these
nests should be gathered and de-
stroyed.
A careful examination of trees will
often bring to light many cocoons in
branches. the codling moth being one.
Birds take care of many. the red
headed woodpecker being especially
active. who finds the choice morsel
even when hidden beneath a scale of
bark. The work done by birds in
the winter has never received the
credit 1t should.
The San Jose scale is not the only
one of It's kind. though by far the
worst There are several kinds Of
scale lice, and the winter is a favor

tress though treatment comes later.
