mind Is one OF the most potent factors in
undertaking success. IA il our kind of
thought 40 IL our kind of life. The
following extract from the article ella
borates the point:

Now that apple blossoms are swelling
and nearly ready TO burst, the careful
orcharClist will prepare TO fight the Cod
ling Moth. The injury caused by this
moth will not be apparent nc this season
and the moth itself may not even bc
seen since IL generally does It's work at
night. But the eggs deposited here and
there over The surface ol the apple. while
the latter is still in the blossom. will soon
hatch and the small larva will enter the
blossom end to begin it's work OF destruc-
ton which finally ends in worthless fruits.
II some OF your apples colorcd mp extra
early last summer and then fell to the
ground few weeks later, displaying
brown worm holes penetrating the sur
lace, 1t is safe to assume that your orchard
IL troubled with Cooling Moths.
From the foregoing It will loo seen that
the Cooling Moth spray must Ice given at
very special time, namely, Just before
the blossom end of the apple closes up or,
as is usually recommended, just az the
petals are falling from the blossoms. The
time for spraying should be carefully
watched and spray containing two or
three pounds of arsenatc of lead To fifty
gallons of water must he thrown upon
the tree with some iorcc so rs to enter
the blossom end of the young fruits.
II the work il thoroughly done. one
spray may control the Cooling Moth, but
usually it will be found necessary to spray
once or even twice again at later date.

spraying instructions. write the Ex'en-

Restock Streams

Washington, April 27.-The common
dablc efforts Of the United States Fish
Commission TO restock the streams OF
West Virginia with mountain trout and
mall-mouth bass, meets with the uni
versal approval of sportsmen and nature
lovers throughout the state, but if game
and fish in West Virginia are to be pre-
served, the game aud fish warden must
have the strong cooperation of the peo-
pie, for it is well known that no law,
however commendable, can be enforced
unlesss backed by strong public scnti-
ment. IL is TO be hoped that our streams
will never be reduced TO the condition Of
European waters, where it would take Il
regiment TO guard fsh until IL could
attain length OF six inches. Write
your congressman or senator for appli-
cations for fish to stock your native
streams.

eratiye. She gathers the children of
the neighborhood together, and, as she
said. Such beautiful times as we had,
and we used to act them ont sometimes.
King Arthur and his knights was one
of our favorites. The children would
select which knight they wished to
impersonate, and then they would try
to act the part In their homes and do
some knightly deed and tell about IL
when they were together"
1t was explained that some things
which seemed small were OF great i'm.
portance when one was knight. One
boy had little sister that he frequent.
ly took care Of; another helped his
teacher In school, and another found
that In just being kind he was a good
knight In story form they learned
about the animals, trees and flowers,
and went out In the woods TO learn
about nature. Alice in Wonderland
furnished fund of stories and one day
when they wanted to go on trip they
went to the power-house OF the street
railway and asked the superintendent
to show them the dynamos. They
found it all interesting and fascinat.
ing and stored up information that may
be valuable to them later.
The field of stories to choose from
Is almost unlimited, as wen as the at.
tractive and instructive places where
children may be taken for a visit. but
where the busy mother may not have
the time or inclination to take them
and possibly may not be sufficiently
educated on the subject to teach them
DR. to make the tip interesting to them.
In this work no particular training Is
needed, but any weIl-educated young
woman with genius for story telling
and liking for children could make q
success.
