The Giants paid severe penalty for
the shortcomings Of two habitual Of
tenders, Bobby Bescher and Fred Merkle.
Three times Bescher was trapped when
salty play by him might have assured
Tesreau Of the victory. In the first in

blur when Burns flied to Cook and was
doubled easily OFF first as "A result. with
one out In the third he tried in vain to
stretch a single to right. There was no
excuse for this, as Cook had an easy play
which lay right in front Of Boobies eyes.

The Value of the Skunk to Agri-
culture.


According to the Department
OF Agriculture, at Washington, D.
C., the skunk, which is represent
ed throughout the country by a
number of varieties, genera and
species, is an animal of great e.
economic Importance. Its food
consists very largely of insects,
mainly of those species which
are very destructive 10 garden
and forage crops. Field Observa-
tons and laboratory examina-
ton demonstrate that they de-
strOy immense numbers of white
grubs, grasshoppers, crickets, cut
worms, hornets, wasps, and other
noxiouS insects. The alarming
increase of the white grub in
some localities is largely due to
the determination of this valuable
animal.
1t is a matter of common OBJ
%servation where white grubs are
particularly abundant in corn
fields, TO note little round holes
burrowed in the ground about
the hills of corn. These are
made by skunks in their search
during the night for these grubs.
During the recent outbreak of
grasshoppers in Kansas it has
been determined that in many
cases a large proportion of the
food of skunks consisted of these
grasshoppers.
Some of the most destructive
insects in agriculture are such
rs do their work below ground
and out of reach of any method
that the farmer can apply, and
it is against many of these
that the skunk is an mveterabe
enemy. Notwithstanding all Oh
this, there is probably not an an
imal that is as ruthlesSly slaugh.
tered as this one, whereas, 1T is
equally entitled to protection
with, if not more so than some
Of our birds that enjoy this priv
ilege.
In some regions, especially in
the southwest, the "rtc of the
skunk is supposed 20 produce by
dlophobia. This fear is unbound
ed, since it is proved that the
bite of a healthy skunk is nc
more serious than similar wounds
caused by other agencies.
In connection with the work
cF the range caterpillar investi
cations in northeastern New
Mexico, it has been found tina.
skunks destroy a great many o.
the pupae of this caterpillar, anc
in fact, during September aaC
October, when this food is easily
available, they prefer it to al
other. About the middle of Sep
TENDER, it was discovered tina
many webs were empty, the pu
pae having been neatly extracted
from the web and either carried
eff or eaten. In many acrea
containing hundreds Of acres
from 25 TO rs per cent of tn,
pupae had been carried off
while in a few isolated places a
high as 95 per cent of the Mexi
can range caterpillar pupa0
were gone. Following these OBJ
servations, piles of skunk excre
ment were found, which consist
e in some cases almost entirely
of pupae shells. Subsequen
counts made show the excremen
found to have from 60 to 50 PEI
cent of it's contents consisting o.
these crushed shells. On thu
Crow Creek ranch there was no
an erea observed but what hat
some of these pupae destroyed b!
these animals. 1t is thus seel
that the common skunk is at thu
present time one Of the most i'm
portant factors looking TOWARD
the control of caterpillar out
breaks, and should be protected
by the ranchers in the infested
uu-ul no.
