The battle which commenced this
morning with an attack by Bulgarian
infantry lasted until one hour after
sunset. The enemy who advanced,
chiefly facing our right wing and our
center. was repused by our infantry
and artillery fire. Three Bulgarian
batteries We're destroyed"

The Turkish batteries replied Wig
orously The Turkish ships in the sea
of Marmora shelled the Bulgarian
positions. Undoubtedly the fleet in
the Black Sea also took part in the
engagement, though details from that
point are lacking.
In the afternoon the wind shifted
and II seemed for time as though
the battle had ended but again the
booming was heard and the movement
of troops could be observed not far
from the very gates to the capital. A
detachment Of several thousands from
the Tehatalja lines WAS replaced hS
fresh troops who had been held in
reserve near the city.
The refugees behind the lines be-
gan breaking camp early in the day
ana moved back toward Constantl-
nope. The Greek villagers. who
heretofore had remained admirably
Indifferent to events, prepared to de-
scrt their homes. While calm pre-
vailed, there was a deadly tension in
the knowledge that the fate of the
capital, OF the Turkish army and of
those who waited anxiously in Con-
stantnople was al stake. Several
members of the legations and other
foreign residents witnessed the artil-
lcry duel. which they described as
magnificent. The shclling from height
to height across Biyuk Chekmedie
lake and over the plains toward the
north, the flashes Of guns on both
sides were visible to observers over
miles of low country.
Within the city every military pr
caution was taken. Pickets were
posted at various points and patrols
the streets. The ambassadors
held meeting AT the foreign ministry
with the commanders of the ottoman
and advanced plans for
the safety Of foreigners.

Mexico City, Nov. lI.-That the
Mexican government is determined 10
carry out the threat to resume the
tactics employed so successfully by
General Robes in the state of Mo-
relos some months ago, is indicated by
the report of the war department an
nonncing the total destruction of sew
eral small towns and villages in the
northern mountains of Oaxaca, where
the revolution has been rampant.
Another evidence of the govern
ments intention to use all energy IN
restoring peace in the south is the
announcement by a high official that
1000 soldiers, now operating in the
north. chiefly in Chihuahua, Coahuila
and Durango. will be sent against re-
bes in the states of Mexico, Puebla,
Guerrero and OaXaca. The govern
ment is convinced that the situation
in the country is now 50 nearly IN
hand that smaller forces Will be able
to restore normal conditions.
lxtepeji and zia two OF the places
destroyed were the strongholds of the
serrano Indians, who have not been
subjugated by the campaign waged in
the vicinity of the state capital after
an attempt had been made to capture
the city. Convinced that the inhabl-
tants Of these towns were in accord
with the rebels orders were issued for
their destruction. Without calling on
the inhabitants to withdraw, the ar
tilefy began its work, ceasing only
when the town had been reduced 10
a mass of ruins.
The Indians are active in other di-
rections Official reports say condi-
tions in the states of Morelos and
Mexico have improved, but il is known
that the rebels hold important hills
near CuernaVaca and largely control
the rural districts and many of the
minor towns in the state of Mexico.
The situation in the state of Guerrero
has become worse on account of the
leadership OF Juan Almazan. who Is
said to have cruel following and
controls much territory along the Pa
ciic coast.
General Aguilar. who is supposed
to be directing a large part of the re-
he forces, is operating in the south
ern part of the state of Puebla. En-
counters are reported daily, but on
all of them the government has been
victorious, with slight losses. At Hua-
quecheula federals dislodged the re-
bells from strong position eight re-
nes and one federal being killed. Nu-
merous small towns have been sacked

ANTS AND APHIDES.

John Anderson, Pocatello, Idaho,
writes as follows:
t'Having read with interest your
articles in The Ranch the past two
years wish to intrude on your time
for some information. have young
ten acre orchard and am badly troub-
led with ants. They eat the buds
and young leaves. Can you suggest a
remedy and how to apply it,"
The chances are that Mr.. Anderson
is mistaken about what is damaging
his young trees. l have never known
a case where ants have damaged trees
in the manner here described. L
have known a number Of cases where
ants were supposed to have damaged
trees and the reasons for this belief
we're two fold, the trees were damaged
and the ants we're numerous on the
damaged trees. The conclusion that
the ants were doing the damage was
very natural but closer examination
revealed the fact that aphides plural
of aphis) we're doing the damage and
that the ants were there because the
aphides we're. Wherever you find
aphides you will find ants if any are
to be found near by. But why do
ants follow the aphides? Because in
that way they get their food. Some
wonderful stories are told about ants
and the aphides. Some writer's have
doubtless drawn somewhat on their
1maginations in writing some of these
stories but there is enough truth
about them to give d good deal OF
color to them. We can read in some
OF these stories that ants keep and
care for the aphides somewhat as a
da1ryman keeps his COWS; that the
ants often carry the aphides to new
pastures, as 1T we're, and at stated
times milk them as the dairyman
milks his COWS. Now the foundation

DITED BY +. WALDEN.

of fact upon which these stories rest
are that the aphldes exude sweet,
sticky substance upon which the ants
live in whole or in part. We are all
familiar with this sweet, sticky ex-
udation but not a few persons are
ignorant of the fact that the aphides
furnish it. From our childhood we
have heard of "honey dew" and the
common view entertained by the un-
informed is that this so-called honey
dew comes out of the air and is a
condensed vapor just as common dew
is But this so-called honey dew is
not dew at all but is the oxidation
of the aphides. | have in my library
a collection of forty volumes bearing
the name of Omitted Editors Ency-
clopedia and Dictionary. There are
combined in these forty volumes an
encyclopedia and an unabridged die
tionary, all alphabetically arranged.
1t is the most valuable set of ref
erence books in my library. The
scientific department is ably edited by
the leading men of science. Under
the word CAN'T are several pages of
valuable observations concerning this
class OF insects. The following is
what this valuable work presents with
reference to the food of ants: tine
vegetable substances which ants seem
chiefly to use as food is sugar and to
this, wherever it is to be found, they
seem to be guided by very acute
sense of smell. Honey dew, the sac
charine excretion of the aphides (see
aphis), is a favorite food of many
speuies and with this are connected
some of their most extraordinary in
stincts; for not only do they climb
plants on which the apbides abound
that they may obtain food, but they
have been seen to wait beside them
for new drops and even to touch them
with their antennae in order to cause
the drops to flow, patting the abdomen
of the aphis on each side alternately
and rapidly; the ant, after the drop
has been obtained, passing on to
another aphis. The whole process

BUTTERFLIES.

N. J. Cutter of Fairmont, Wash.
writes as follows:
"Having been a reader of. The
Ranch for years and following your
writings, | would like little informa-
ton, and you can give it through the
paper if moreI convenient for. you,
and will thank you:in advance. awe

has been llkened to the milking OF
cattle. Even more wonderful things
have been asserted on this subject, as
these particular ants seem to regard
particular aphides as their own prop
erty and are ready to fight in defence
of their right to them-that to secure
them for themselves they convey them
from one place to another-and that
the aphis radicum, which derives its
nutrlment from the roots of grass and
other plants is actually kept in large
numbers in the nest of the Yellow ant
(formica fiava), ia order that there
may be always at hand copious sup
ply of food, these aphides and their
eggs sharing the solicitude of the ants
equally with their own eggs and
young. Things SO wonderful are as
.certained beyond dispute in regard
to the instincts of ants, that even
such statements as these must not be
hastily rejected as incredible and
certainly they express the beliefs of
careful and scientific observers.
These facts here so forcibly and
clearly set forth fully explain why
ants are abundant where aphides are
at work on trees or plants and it is
readily seen why a person who has
not made careful study of ants and
aphides may charge the ants with the
damage done by the aphides.
Now, I will not assert positively
that the damage done to Mr.. Ander-
sons orchard is to be charged to the
aphides but it does seem quite prob
able that the presence of the ants on
his trees is to be ascribed to the fact
that they are seeking honey dew as
here set forth. 1t would be entirely
out of the realm of the probable to
think that ants are there for the pur
pose of eating the buds and leaves of
the trees. If Mr.. Anderson is not
mistaken about damage to the buds
of his trees it is altogether likely that
some other insects besides the ants
and the aphides are there and at
work. Aphides as stated in these
columns not long since do not eat any
thing in the common acceptation of
the word. The aphides have no
chewing organs but are supplied with
sucking organs; hence, they obtain
their food by inserting proboscis
into the outer coating OF leaves or
bark and then by sucking up the
juice of the plant. When they live
on honey dew they use this proboscis
and suck up the sweet substance and
do not puncture anything. If some
thing actually did eat the buds on
Mr.. Andersons trees the probability
is it was the bud moth. The safest
thing to do In such cases is to call in
the fruit inspector and let him study
the damage to his trees at close
range. Such a man ought to know
what is doing this damage.
