size of small pin head. With the point of a knife the epidermis of the leaf may be raised so as to expose the white egg beneath. The damage done by these slugs is often serious to the cherry and pear foliage and Is sometimes quite destructive, also, to the foliage of plum and quince.
 Remedies: These slucs are very cas- lily destroyed. either by an arsenical spray or by the use of white hellebore. The best arSenical to use is arsenate of lead and should be applied as q misty spray so as to cover the upper surface of the leaves as soon as the slugS are seen in any considerable numbers. Use in the proportion of: Lead paste, one pound water, 30 gallons.
 Use the white hellebore in the pro- portion of one ounce of the powder to each three gallons of water and spray as directed in case of arsenate of lead, above.
 White hellebore Is fully as efficient as the arsenate of lead and is to be recommended in all cases where there Is fruit nearly mature upon the trees, as 1t Is not likely to do any serious injury to persons who might eat free iy of the fruit afterwards.

The duck hawk flies as swift and as straight as the prOverbial arrow. No poultry raiser has any grudge against this falcon, for 1t disdains tame and humble quarry and lives like an epi- cure almost wholly upon game. The duck hawk will strike down in mid air bird of twice It's weight, and 1t will overtake the swiftest winged duck that flies. He is pirate and every thing else that is bad, but he lives tho free and untrammeled life which na- ture taught him to live and so If it is necessary to kill something. go and kill nature.
 There probably are no injurious hawks In the United States except those which have been named. Of course this qualified statement may be disputed, but for the most part our hawks are known to be largely bene- ficial and concerning those about which there is some doubt the balance of good and evil seems to be just about even. The hawks that have been named and in part described are. as one might say, the worst of the bunch

sparrows on one of the crowded cor ners of the city of Chicago. A trolley car was laundering along at the mo- ment the sharp-shinned made its de- scent. It missed Its prey, much to my disappointment, for I don't like English sparrows. and have a sneak ing admiration for the bold bird which dares to make try for Its breakfast no matter what perils impend.
 The Cooper hawk. called by the sci- entists Accipiter cooperii, Is just as much of villain, If you want to look at him that way, as Is his brother Ac- ctpiter, surnamed velox. This bird Is just as daring as the sharp-shinned, and being somewhat larger Is able to attack successfully larger prey. Dr. A. K. Fisher, the foremost American authority on the birds of prey, has this to say about the freebooter under dis cussion:
 'Cooper's hawk, which resembles the sharp-shinned hawk closely In everything except size, is less north ern In Its distribution. The food of this hawk, like that of it's smaller congener. consists almost en- tirely of wild birds and poultry. though from Its superior size and strength it Is able to cope successfully with much larger birds, and hence is much more to be dreaded. The flight of this species Is very rapid, irregular, and usually Is carried at no great height from the ground, in all these particu- lars closely resembling that of the sharp-shinned hawk"
 One of the most destructive of the American birds of prey is the gOs- hawk, otherwise Accipiter atricapil- lus. The goshawk is big bird, some thing more than a foot and a half in length, and seemingly it has the strength of-well we won't say ten, but two. Its nesting place is either in the mountains or way up in the north ern regions. It preys on game birds in the winter 1t comes southward from its summer home to take its pick of the fat poultry of the land. The goshawk is daring and hardy bird. It typifies the wild life of mountain and plain, and as such 1t seemingly might be allowed to keep its place In natures plan. but sentiment usually is allowed to count for little when the loss of a prize rooster or hen is In the other side of the balance.
 Now we get away from the accipiters and get into the Genus Falco. The duck hawk, Falsco peregrinus anatum is a true falcon Florence Merriam Bailey, in her Handbook of Birds of the Western United States" says that the duck hawk ranks next to the gos- hawk as fierce bird of prey. Accord. ing to my way of looking at 1t, bad as the bird Is, any man who shoots It ought to be shot himself. The duck hawk has that high courage which ought to appeal to everybody who has red blood in him on his own account

BEING WELL IS AN ASSET
Physical Health Is Beginning to ss Recognized at Its Real Value to
 the Community.

Health insurance legislation will be introduced here very shortly if America as a progressive democracy is going to compete successfully in the worlds markets and at the same time conserve the stamina of her work CTS"
 This opinion was expressed by Felix NJ. Warburg of the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb and company, brother of Paul M Warburg of the federal re- serve board. He was referring es- pecially 10 the health insurance bill brought out by the American associa- ton for labor legislation this year. Mir. Warburg explains his interest in health insurance by his first-hand acquaint- ance with its working in Germany.
 Il lived In Germany at the time the law for health insurance was passed and put into operation and the effect from what l have been told has been excellent" he said. -It Is only by means of a system of universal health insurance that the service cf advanced medical science can be brought to the care of the workers as a whole, while at the same time the payment of joint contributions brings economic pressure to bear on the state, the employers and the work CT himself to prevent disease. In oth- CT words. under health insurance all parties concerned are made to feel the cash value of good health-"

 It Is easy to write about the injuri- ous hawks of this country because there are so few of them. Most of our birds of prey, the hawks and the owls, do more good than harm. There are only q scant half dozen or so into whom nature has implanted the desire for evil deeds. Nature Is supposed to do everything. or at any rate almost everything. well and so It may be that If we kill the bold buccaneer birds who do a bit of thieving now and then, we may rue it one day for some reason not yet disclosed to the human mind.
 The scientists tell us that perhaps the two most injurious hawks in Amer lea are the sharp-shinned and the coop CT hawks. These two birds do large part of the thieving which the farm CTS of the country lay at the door of the soaring hawk, the red-tailed, the red-shouldered, and some others.
 The sharp-shinned gentleman, called Accipiter velOx, by the ornitholo- gists, is, as somebody has put it. "a brute of a bird" Vernon Bailey of the biological survey of the depart ment of agriculture has written thus about this bird of more than question able life:
 Among the hawks. the sharp shinned Is a veritabie bushwhacker. His light body. short wings, and long tail enable him to double and turn among the brush and branches. and in noiseless, foxlIke way. bounce over a hedgerow or brush heap into the midst of a flock of sparrows, swoop under | the low branches and pick his bird from the ground, or dart through the treetops and snatch one In midair from | the midst of startled flock His small size Is so much more than com- ] pensated by his audacity that one bird try yard. taking the small and half. grown chickens regularly. and some times killing and eating a fullgrown hen of many times its own weight" I once saw a sharp skinned hawk swoop down into a flock of Engi.-
