The Farmer and the stork.

A farmer set a net in his fields
one day to catch the cranes and
geese which came to eat the newly
sown corn. Several of these birds
were caught in the net, and among
them was a stork, who pleaded very
hard for his life, telling the farmer
that he was not a goose or a crane,
but a poor, harmless stork; that he
did not come to steal corn, but
merely came in company with the
other birds.
Cali this may be very true" re-
piled the farmer, "but as 1 have
caught you with the thieves you
must suffer the same punishment"
If we keep company with bad peo-
pie We must expect to suffer the con-
sequences.-A Fable of Aesop.

Tho Pipefish's Pocket.

The kangaroo has always seemed to
have the monopoly of that convenient
way of carrying its babies in a pouch.
but it has been discovered that a fish
has the zane useful receptacle. which
it uses for precisely the same purpose.
The pipef1sh, Is it is called from the
length of its jaws, has q pocket on the
underside of its body nearly half its
length. It is found in the male fish
only and is the only part Of its body
not covered with large fat plates,
which take the place OF scales in its
protective arm0r.
If q pipefish is taken from the water
and its little ones. shaken from the
pouch they seem either unable or disin-
clined to swim away. But If the father
is placed back in the water again oil
the little ones Immediately swim back
into the pocket. These curious little
creatures have prehensile tails to use
to hold on to seaweed and prevent
themselves from being carried away by
the tide. ri, Il.

AN ANCIENT SEA.
Il Swept Western America Before the
Rockies Were Born.

Il Swept Western America Before the
Rockies Were Born.
Many million years ago, long be-
fore the birth of the Rocky noun
tains, a large inland sea spread over
the western and central parts of
North America. In geologic Ian
guage the invasion of this sea oc-
Cured in Mississippian time-a pc
riod just preceding the one in which
the bituminous and anthracite coal
beds that extend over portions of
central and eastern North America
were formed. This sea covered
much of the present site of the
Rocky mountain area, the central
plains and at times a part of the
great plains in the United States.
At different times it opened into the
Arctic ocean on the north, the Pa
ciic on the south and probably the
gulf of Mexico on the southeast.
This incursion of salt water was
not the first or the last to invade
the American continent. At each
incursion muddy, sandy or limy de-
posits mixed with seashells and 9TH
er animal remains were laid down
along the beach and upon the sea
floor. Strange as it may seem, most
of these rocks formed ages ago now
stand above sea level and constitute
plains, plateaus and even noun
tains.
Animal life was very abundant in
this Mississippian sea-. Nearly if
not all the classes of animals now
living were present. Sharks and
fishes, though different in appear
ance from the present forms, sport
ed along the shore or swan the
deep. Sea lilies or crinoids, ami
mails built on the same general plan
as the starfish, but having a calcare-
Gus cup with an attached stem, dec
grated the sea floor. Seashe]ls be-
longing to the same class as the
oysters and snails were there. The
lamp shells, or, more technically
speaking, the brachiopods, resem-
bling butterflies, mingled with a
corkscrew-like sea net. Other forms,
minute and large, figured in this
life and have been wonderfully well
preserved to the present time. Fl
nally this sea bottom began to rise,
and at length it emerged; the va
tiers withdrew to the deep basins,
and land life was substituted for
marine.-United States Geological
Survey Bulletin.

Fall PLANTING Of Trees


! The chief advantages Of fall plant
ing are that q better selection of trees
can be secured in the nursery than II
made in the spring; the stock can be
kept out Of the ground a shorter time
(most nursery stock is dug in the fall
and stored in cellars over winter);
there is no danger of drying Of the
stock, due to storage in nursery eel
lars; the planting can he done at a
time when work Is not as pressing as
in the spring, and the trees can get a
good root hold before winter sets in
and thus be in splendid condition to
commence growth perhaps several
weeks before spring transplanted trees
could become established.
The principal caution with respect to
fall set trees rs to insist that the nur-
sery stock be allowed to ripen fully.
This 1t cannot do, as the practice of
sstripping" or removal Of the leaves
before maturity is done. It is also
highly desirable to protect all newly
set trees against rabbits and mice.
The best plan is to use galvanized
hardware cloths of one-half inch mesh
Is cover the trunks from an inch or two
below the surface Of the soil up to q
height of eighteen inches to two feet.
These guards should be four or five
inches in diameter when set, SO they
may be left in place for several years
and thus continue the protection until
the b11kk becomes too rough and tough

INJURY BY PEA APHIs.
Plant Louise That Attacks Lesumss Of
~. Field and Garden.

Plant Louise That Attacks Leaumss Of
! III. Field and Garden.
Prepared by United States department Of
agrfculture.I
The pea aphis, q small green plant
louise, is rated among the important
injurious insects of the world because
of the damage it does to the legumi-
nous crops. especially the red and GRIM
son 'clovers and vetches, in which it
winters and from which it spreads to
field and garden peas and sweet peas.
The pea aphis prefers the young, ten
der clover leaves and stems. but even
tually covers the entire plant. Garden
and sweet peas readily succumb; clo-
yer, particularly red clover, is able to
Withstand considerable injury, but at
times entire fields are destroyed. Not
infrequently this plant louise attacks
alfalfa. In addition to the weakening
Of the plant, the louise deposits honey
dew. to such an extent that the plants
in a badly infested field will be dis
colored on account Of being covered
with this sweetish fluid. The infested
fields are not always killed outright,
but heavily in~festations apparently
have a weakening effect, and probably
much of the winter killing Of clover
can be traced back to the pea aphis.
In the clover field the pea aphis is
ordinarily held in check by its natural
enemies. If it is apparent that this
aphis is becoming unduly abundant the
clover should be cut as 500 there
after as possible, since the cutting and
drying of the clover will kill most Of
the insects. Glover which becomes
coated with the honeydew of the
aphides will not u properly. Spring
pasturing or early cutting back Of the
clover will check the multiplication Of
this plant louise.
Fortunately, this species of plant
louise has a number of natural enc
mics. One of the most important Of
these is a fungus which thrives under
moist conditions and may appear aft
er a few days Of rainy weather in the
summer. This fungus spreads with re-
markable rapidity among the lice and
frequently eradicates them. Pea
aphides when attacked by this fungus
first turn brownish and later become
covered with the fungus threads.
