The Flea.

Speaking of tleas-and they are a
common topic of conversation in some
parts of the United States-as com.
mon a subject as mosquitoes in New
Jersey or flies in other places-certain
British and other scientists have late
ly discovered that flea becomes old
and infirm within twenty days after
its birth, although some fleas have
been known to live to be ninety days
old when especially well-fed. Up to
the fifteenth day Of its career the flea
is able to do a considerable amount
ol execution. After that length OF
time 1t becomes rather sluggish and
Indifferent. These are important ad'
ditions to the literature of the flea.
1t has long been known that the flea
is no respecter of persons, is, in fact,
very promiscuous in its associations;
that it is extremely agile; that a
settlement of fieas anywhere soon be-
comes overcrowded; that fleas thrive
on most poisons; that they can easily
distract ones attention from the most
important topics, and that they are
meaner, much meaner than flies In
their manners-are, in fact, the mos
impolite Of insects.

CutWorm Is Early Flowing
Fire Is Sure Destroyer.
CBy L. NJ. BENNINGToN)

All insects pass the winter in some
stage of their existence. The question
is, where and how? Certainly not on
the wing, and often in way that they
can be easily destroyed.
Watch the fences and weather-board
ing of implanted buildings for the
chrysalis OF the cabbage worm, neatly
suspended by a couple of slken
threads. Some Of these times the mis-.
chief-making butterfly will emerge. and
II will prove many times more difficult
to destroy.
Many insects pass the winter in egg
or laryal form in the rubbish about
the farm, old weed stalks, clumps OF
dead grass, and the remains OF last
years crop being common lurking
places. Fire Is sure destroyer, and
cleans the ground nicely for blowing.
Early blowing in spring is hard on
insects, the freshly exposed sod being
cleared OF them by frost. This is es-
pecially a favorite remedy for cut
worm, though the finely pulverized soil
which Is a resultant invites the ants
freely.
The pupa OF the tomato-worm is Of
ten plowed up in the garden and is
distinguished by an appendage like the
handle Of a pitcher. While In this
stage most insect life is dormant, the
tomato or potato worm pupa expresses
its disapproval of being disturbed by a
couple Of fiops. II placed in sunny
window 1t will develop into a magni-
ficent butterfly, but every one knows
the horrid green larva that follows.
Every one is familiar with the snap
ping bugs or click-beetles which creep
into our windows and amuse us by
falling on their back and feigning
death. Presently they make a click
ing noise and flop up several inches.
II they fall on the back the perform
ance is repeated until they light on
their feet, when they scamper of.
Their larvae live near the surface
of the ground, and from their long,

Many fruit growers have observed
small brownish patches on the leaves
OF apple trees. These patches are
caused by the apple-tree miner. mi
mute insect which feeds on the internal
tissue of the leaf.
The insect has been known a long
time and has become well distrib-
uted over the United States and
Canada, but has never been seri.
Gus pest until last year.
When once familiar with the work
of this insect 1t is an easy matter
to recognize its presence. Yellowish
or brownish blotches are observed on
the upper surface of the leaf.
Early In June the tiny eggs are
deposited singly on the surface Of the
leaf, adjacent to one Of the larger
veins. Each egg is protected by a
drop OF wax. which appears in the
sunlight as glistening spot
The eggs hatch In about six days
and the young caterpillars without ex.
posing themselves to the outside
world Immediately enter the leaf.
At first they make a narrow channel,
but with the increase in size of the
insect and its appetite the channel
becomes wider, and the trumpet
shaped mine IN the fabric of the Leaf
is the result.
The caterpillars moult, or change
their coat FIVE times The coats are
alike in color and structure but vary
in size to accommodate the growing
insects.
AS the old clothes are shed they are
iudiciously pushed out through a
small opening in the lower surface OF
the mine. The insects further dis.
play their clearly habits, unlike many
other leaf-miners, by depositing their
sxcrement without the mine through
this same opening.
The caterpillars reach their full
growth about the middle OF July when
they transform to pupae. This rest
ing state lasts only from eight to ten
days. At the expiration Of this time

been an unknown asset for so many
generations.
The latest reports from the oil
fields at Calgary show that there is q
production there that would appear
to equal the best paying fields on the
continent. Experts have been on the
ground for some time. It is said that
one Of the wells is able to produce
1000 gallons an hour. II this is so
there are but about q dozen wells in
the world Of greater production. Dur
ing the past week discoveries Of sur

show that oil exists over a consider

and in couple Of months. or probably
less, the story will be told whether oil
exists in paying quantities.
But there are also the coal deposits
and the natural gas deposits that are
helping to make of Western Canada
one of the wealthiest portions of the
continent.
With the grain fields covering these
hidden riches it is no wonder that a
continued range of optimism is to be
seen everywhere. Early reports Of
seeding of all grains being successful
ly completed all over the country are
followed by reports OF excellent and
strong growth everywhere. During
the first week in June most of the

orialn Of VISITING Cards.

Some authorities hold that the or,

the compliment proceeded, he caused

his name was cut.
According to Bertarelli, who, among
others. has been at much pains to com

in Greece or in China. However that
may be, 1t seems to be an ascertained

These tiny moths are very incon-

may be seen resting on the apple
leaves. Like some other members OF
this family of insects the moths as
sumo a peculiar attitude while at

while the others are partly folded I'M
der the body. In this way the insects
rest on the fore legs and the end OF
the abdomen.
The female moths soon after emery

production Of eggs seems to be their
sole object in life, for after continu

days, without awaiting the result
they die.
The eggs soon hatch and produce
the second brood of caterpillars which
possess similar habits to those Of the
first brood. They grow more slowly
than those Of the first brood. not
