 The Giants, as proclaimed in these dispatches before, have been hitting harder than any other entry in the National Or American leagues. They have an average at bat beyond the Tigers, Braves. Red sox, Dodgers one only point or two shy of old time Mackian marks, when Comics pulverizing machine was at it's best. Which, coupled with their present position, is a terrible knock on the pitching they have received all year. Il is doubtful if any ball club in major league history ever drew worse pitch ing than Perritt, Maruuard. Mathew son and even Tesreau have been yielding since April.
 For when club can lead a league s.t bat by fairly thick margin and its pitchers are dragging even this offense down into last place, the answer is fairly obvious.
 But Would This Be Neutral?

Henry nodded. and as he handed his
order to the waiter, said: Yes, and
bring the lady hassock."
"One 'hassock?" asked the waiter,
with what Henry thought more than
ordinary interest, as he nodded in the
affirmative. Still the waiter did not
go, but brushed the tabiecloth with
a towel and rearranged the articles
on 1t several times, while his face got
very red.
Then he came around to the hus-

ORCHARD SHADE FOR CHICKS
Ideal Place for coops and Breeders
Double Use May Be Made of
Sunflower Plants.

All win agree that an ideal place for
coops, colony coops and brooder coops
is in a well grown orchard. There the
chicks have shade from the hot noon
day sun, but since every farm or poul,
try yard has not an orchard the ques
tion of shade must be given some con.
sideration.
IL there is no natural shade, coops
placed between rows of sunfiowers will
provide the chicks shade. Sunfiowers
grow rapidly, provide good shade and
the seeds make good winter food for
the poultry. However. IL one cannot
plant sunfiowers and there is no shade
for the chickens. muslin or old burlar
stretched over high poles will provide
shade. Anything that will cast Q
shadow. so as to provide place fol
the chickens to rest in during the heat
Of the day. Fruit trees always do well
when planted in chicken yards, espe
cially when the ground is kept dug ur
around them. BY all means remember
to provide some kind OF shade to be
ready for the warm days. and the
chickens will be more comfortable and
thrive better.

The roundheaded apple-tree borer.
the most destructive OF q number of
similar pests, causes much damage
to apple orchards in the eastern half
of the United States. It does not
confine its destructive methods solely
to apple trees. but feeds on other
fruit trees. as well as service. wild
crab and mountain ash. which makes
Il advisable TO cut out these latter
varieties for q distance of at least
hundred yards from the orchard.
The presence of the borers is easily
detected. Sawdustlike castings of
reddish color are thrown out through
small holes In the bark as the borers
feed. Heaps OF these castings found
at the base of apple. pear or ounce
trees are always an evidence that the
trees need immediate attention. FIRE.
quently an examination of an orchard
induced by finding one tree with cast
ings at the base will reveal the fact
that many trees are affected and that
serious injury has already been done.
Ordinarily the parent beetle lives
about 40 or so days. 1t is about three
fourths of an inch In length, light
brown in color above, with two broad
white bands joined in front, extending
the full length of the back; the I'M
derparts and front OF the head are
white. The females rarely fly any
considerable distance. so that II the
immediate vicinity OF an orchard can
be kept free from them, there is little
danger of a serious infestation.
Wormlng to Be Thoroughly Done.
The most common method of rid
ding an orchard of these pests is to
cut away the bark sufficiently to trace
the burrows made by the borer. A
hooked wire is then inserted into the
burrow and the insect pulled out. II
made with care. the wound in the tree
caused by this process will heal
readily. The castings at the base of
the tree serve as an indication of tho
presence OF the borers. Where the
burrows are curved or obstructed in
some way so that the wire cannot be
inserted. cotton batting dipped in car.
bon bisulphid should be inserted and
the hole then plugged with moist
earth. The gas from the carbon BIZ
sulphid will penetrate all parts of the
burrow and kill the borer. In exteA-
sive orchards where worming is done
on large scale by promiscuous labor
some of the helpers are likely to be-
come careless and overlook or neglect
to destroy an occasional borer. Every
female SO overlooked stands a good

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken In seIcc-
tion Of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

II you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in a wilderness,
your first thought would be of food
supply and your next Of shelter. for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties of mankind. 1t is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tials.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort.
service and architectural beauty than
in the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly. and progress is
still constantly being made with 1t.
Modern hotels and Office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction is away from
the fire hazard Of wood.
One of the most significant develop
ments of recent years is the crushed
5ldL6 6uIldCCu d5phdib ohih6io WhiSu
Is. on new construction and old, rapid
ly supplanting the wooden article.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building-in fact, there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate OF pleasing
tints of red or green, is employed as
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying slate
surfaced shingle that is not guaran-
teed by a reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are so many
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that 1t becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly.
