field of red clover in full bloom Is
alive with insects. Such profusion
of insect visitants, both as regards
number of individuals and number Of
species at one and the same time is
afforded by no other plant that we
know of, with the possible exception
of alfalfa. In the clover fields of our
experimental farm we have taken two
hundred species Of insects-not all of
them injurious, though more than half
of them feed on the plant, adding
to these the other species that have
been listed as feeding on clovers,
vetches and alfalfa it is seen that
these plants are food for more than
two hundred different kinds Of insects.
hundred or more are predaceous or
parasitic on these clover insects, or
else feed on animal or vegetable mat
ter in the soil of the clover field.
No part of the plant escapes attack.
The roots are eaten by the larvae and
the beetles Of the root-borer, as well
as by those of half a dozen other
species, and are drained of their sap
by the mealy bug. The stem is hol-
lowed out by the common stem-borer.

Glover Root Borer-Beetle, LarVa and

Both the stems and the leaves are
pierced by many hemipterous insects,
especially aphids and jassids, and are
eaten by great variety of caterpil-
lars, beetles and grasshoppers, as are
also the heads of the flowers. The
ovule is destroyed by the maggot of
the seed-midge, and the developing
seed is eaten out by the seed-chalcid.
Even the hay is the special food Of a
certain caterpillar, hence called the
clover hay worm
Some Of the insects of the clover
field are, of course, beneficial Such
are those that pollinize the flowers
bumblebees and, to some extent, honey
bees, as well as those that act as
checks on the injurious insects.
Most of the clover insects are not
limited to clover, but to other food
plants as well. The seed-midge and
the seed-caterpillar are, however, con-
fined to the clovers, and the seed
chalcid to clovers and alfalfa so far

New hatched chicks require special
food and care, especially during the
first ten days. After they are ten
days old the following mixture should
be kept in trough where the chicks
can run to it at all times. Thirty
parts cornmeal, 80 parts wheat mid

AS the chicks increase in size the
mixed chick food can be replaced by
coarscr grains. At this stage it may
be advisable to feed wet mash once

Victims of the DRUG Habit.

According to recent estimate of
the United States public health serv-
Ice, the number Of persons in this
country who are victims of the drug
habit is about 10000, and the number
or doses Of narcotic drugs consumed
by them annually is about $4,000, 600.
rms estimate is based on figures col
lected in the state Of Tennessee where
under recently enacted antinarcotic
law 1,403 permits were issued in six
months to persons petitioning for the
privilege Of using narcotic drugs, and
the consumption Of such drugs amount
ed to S,49S200 average doses.
