The shrews frequent underground
burrows and surface runways and may
occasionally be seen travelling openly
over the ground in fields and woods
evidently in search of food. They are
active both night and day and do not
hibernate. When frightened, or while
engaged in fighting with other ami
mails, or occupied in family altefca-
tions they emit a strong. disagreeable
odor. This odor evidently renders
them distasteful in a measure to
other predacious mammals and birds.
as shrews are frequently killed by
them and left uneaten.
My attention was first attracted to
the economic value Of the shrews
several years ago this spring. At that
time was making a. study of insects
that feed on nuts Of various kinds
and, in working out the histories Of
several species, found 1t desirable to
add to my supply Of chestnut worms, .
"hickorynut worms and acorn
worms During the previous fall I
had had no trouble In finding large
numbers of these worms In the
ground beneath nut-bearing trees
where they had gone to hibernate
and to transform later into mature
insects. In making search IL similar
locations in the spring. found that

Killing the Tobacco
Hornworm

In using poisoned bait 1t is nee
essary to first keep the field as clean
as possible of weeds, two or three
weeks preceding transplanting in order
to reduce the food supply OF the worms
and render them hungry. A couple of
days previous to transplanting, spray
a small patch of clover with Paris
green at the rate of one ounce to six
gallons of water. Cut the clover up
into small bits and scatter in small
handfuls about the field preferably
on cloudy day and in the evening
when the cutworms are out for food,
and the clover will not dry out too
rapidly. II these poisoned bats are
not more than six to eight feet apart
the hungry worms will have no trouble
in finding them. In place Of the
poisoned clover bait. a poisoned bran
mash bait may be used. This Is made
by mixing one pound of dry Paris
green, with forty pounds of bran. To
this is added sweetened water, or a
cheap syrup. stirring 1t thoroughly to
get it all moist This is scattered
about the field in the same way as the
clover bait and has the advantage in
that it appears to attract the worms
more than the clover bait. Poultry
should be excluded from the treated
area for some time, at least until the
rain has washed the poison away.

It has been demonstrated over and
over again. that where perfect spray
ing was done, from 90 to 96 per cent
of all the first brood Of the coddling-
moth were killed. Also, this kind Of
spraying destroys some Of the remain
Ing ones afterward, thus practically
preventing q second brood.
In order to get the poison into the
little calyx-cup 1t Is necessary to in
ject il with considerable force, be-
cause the stamen bars are thick and
tolerable stout, and form q solid roof
over the cup.
If the spray is put on as mist, 1t
lodges on the outside. and If thrown
up into the air to come down In fall
ing drops, 1t will strike this little
roof. and roll off. Here's where the
spray-nozzle comes In. This instru-
ment sends driving spray of fine
drops, five or six feet before it breaks
up into mist, and the nozzle must
be held within a foot or two Of the
blossom. in order that the spray can
penetrate to the very bottom of the
cup.
To do this thoroughly. it Is neces-
sary to point the nozzle straight into
every blossom on the tree. and to do
this the sprayer must stand on a
platform high enough to reach into
the blossoms. and he must then get
down low enough so that he can

Whatever it touches it communicates.
It goes naturally to any food exposed
to its flight in unscreened and unpro-

but a few seconds upon what is to
be eaten it may leave there germs
enough to kill the whole family.
Every careful householder will see
that his home is properly screened.
In spite of this precaution flies will
invade houses. Should they do SO no
mercy must be shown them. They
should be killed whenever found.
There Is no telling from whence they

they have come from no clean place.
There is not one chance in q million

And their heads and feet are the
most perfect collections Of filth and
germs ever devised. The former are
provided with a profusion Of hairs and
bristles, while each of the six feet
