DAMAGE BY SAN JOSE SCALE
Probably No Other Insect, II Uncon-
trolIed, Capable Of Doing Greater
Damage to Fruit.

The pear In common with other
fruits is subject to the depredations
OF insects, among the most important
Of which are the codling moth and the
San Jose scale.
The larva Of the codling moth, which
affects the apple to such an alarming
extent, entailing loss of millions OF
dollars, is also more or less injurious
to the pear, though to a much les ex-
tent than to the apple.
Probably no other insect, If uncon-
trolled, is capable of doing greater
damage to the fruit industry Of this
country than the San Jose scale. Near
ly all kinds of deciduous fruit trees
are more or less subject to It's attacks

ARBoR DAYS OF THE FARMER


Everyone ought to cultivate a
friendship for trees, and along with
his animal friends have few tree
friends. He could do no better to
commemorate an event In his family
life than to set out a tree and name
II with the name of what he would
remember-have arbor days Of his
own.
Where a family has been sentimen.
tai enough to do this you viii find
trees about the house named John,
Henry, Susie, Clara, etc, in memory
of the birth of the children. You
will see tree somewhere near the
gate called the telephone tree. be-
cause II was planted the year the tele-
phone was put in the house.
There will be another tree some
where near that one called the free
delivery tree, commemorating the year
the mail was first brought to the
door. There will also be some small
trees, among them the auto tree, in
memory Of the first automobile owned
by the farmer, and the air tree, to re-
member the thrill experienced upon
seeing the first aeroplane.
What romance and interest this
adds to rural or suburban life!--Farm
and Home.

ELEPHANT RIPS THINGS
Nero, delicate little elephant
weighing slightly over six tons,
took it into his wrinkled old head
to go for walk this morning.
Nero was fastened to a stake
under circus tent at LOOMS and
Fifty-ninth streets.
But the stake didn't worry Ne
TO bit when that stroll idea
came over him. He took it with
him.
Then he started on devastat-
ing saunter about the neighbor-
hood, which will be long and
painfully remembered by the resi-
dents there.
Nero got along fine until he
came to a shed used by the city
for the. storage of oil and street
lamps at Sixtieth and Justine
streets.
There was something about
the shed that didn't please Nero.
The noise of that Shed going
over and of the breaking of the
street lamps was surprising. In
dignant citizens, wearing pa
jamas and peevish looks, came to
their doors to find OUT about it.
Having come to their doors,
they turned right round and went
in again, locking the door behind
them. Most of them called up the
Englewood police station.
'HelpP' yelled the first one to
the Englewood desk sergeant

that they were citizens and tax
payers and demanded protection
and wanted to know what the po-
lice were good for, the desk SER
geant sent out Patrolmen James
Michigan and Patrick Rooney.
'Go get that elephant and
bring it in" he instructed them.
Meantime Nero was having
troubles of his own. He came on
a lamp post at Sixtieth and
LOOMS streets. Nero never had
seen a light tree so close before,
so he coiled his trunk around it
and pulled it up by the roots to
see what made it shine so.
At 1915 LOOMS street a fence
gave him a pain. So he spent
about 90 seconds scattering that
fence all over the district.
Then he tried to get in between
two cottages at 595o-61 LOOMS
and couldn't. The alley between
the cottages was not built for ele-
plants.
When he couldn't get through
the alley from the front Nero
walked around to rear and tried
to get through from there. Still
he couldn't. So he blamed it on
the back porch of $3.50 and picked
that once useful piece of archi-
lecture up in his trunk and flung
it 40 feet away.
Just then Rooney and Nelligan
came to the rescue. They APP
preached Nero bravely, with
drawn revolvers and clubs.

COURAGE OF BIRDS.
Two Partridges Utterly Rout Six
Hunting Dogs to Protect Young.

II suppose a bird is the bravest
creature that lives, in spite of it's ma
tnral timidity.. Henry Van Dyke.)
The above quotation in a recent
Christian Science Monitor brought to
the writer's remembrance some in
stances in which birds showed extra
ordinary courage, says an English
correspondent. With FIVE or six dogs.
among them two retrievers and two
fox-terriers, the writer wandered one
summer evening down one of those
long quiet meadows so typical of
English country scenery. The dogs
followed sedately enough until the
sudden whisk of a rabbits tail in the
hedgerow proved an irresistible attrac-
ton. A frantic scamper in all direc-
lions was followed by an apologize
but cheerful return to good behavior.
Absorbed in the quiet glory of the
evening. the dogs were forgotten un-
til Il curious kissing attracted the
writer's attention The whole pack of
dogs was then seen far down the field
in rapid retreat and manisfesting ev-
cry sign Of fear. The cause of this
was soon discovered Apparently the
dogs had gone too near a covey of
partridges and the parent birds, intent
only on the protection of their little
zones were flying, low down and with
surprising force, straight at the dogs,
uttering the peculiar note that had
attracted attention. The onslaught
fwas so vigorous that the dogs Were
completely routed. 1t was most
amazing sight to see six dogs utterly
demoralized. their tails between their
legs, fleeing before the two tiny but
absolutely self-forgetting and fearless
little birds.
On another occasion a fox terrier
picked up a young wag-tail and was
making for the house with it in his
mouth. Without hesitation the father
and mother birds swooped down on
him, and. one on each side almost
touching his-head, uttered such pierre
ing and incessant cries. that in sheer
fright and confusion he dropped the
baby bird unhurt. and fed. 1 have
seen parent blackbirds so close to a
cat in tree, trying to distract it from
their nest, and so absorbed in that
one idea, that stones thrown at the
tree have had the desired effect of
frightening away the cat without in
the least disturbing the birds
THESE instances are an interesting
confirmation Of the truth contained in
tfr "if"fation from Henry Van Dyke.
