BIRD WIGWAGS LOVE SIGNALS
Racket Tailed Hammer Also May Be
Said to Use Flags to Challenge
Its Foes.

Signal officer of the birds army
corps is the racket-tailed humming
bird. For his duties nature has
equipped him with a pair Of purple
flags fashioned out Of two long and
peculiar tail feathers. He wigwags his
signals from one tree to another, is
sues his challenges to battle and courts
his mate. When he's not signaling he's
slipping honey from the flowers and
trying to keep his tail from entangling
itself in the briers.
He's midget of the South American
mountains. He has short wings, which
he operates at lightning speed, hum
iNing a song with them as he dives into
flower and comes out again with a
billful of honey.
His tail is combination Of two wire
like handles, with purple tuft OF
feathers at the end of each. He crosses
them near the middle and sometimes
he brings the pair Of "rackets" at the
ends to his head, as though trying to
fan himself.
The male birds have sort of love
dance which they engage in during the
mating season. Then they play all
sorts of tricks with the rackets.

SEVERE LOSS BY LEAF CURL
Disease is Responsible for Failure OF
Peach Crop In Some Orchards
Use Bordeaux.

1t has been estimated that leaf curl
causes an annual loss of two millions
to three millions Of dollars to the
peach industry Of the United States
1t is largely responsible for the failure
Of the peach crop in some orchards
and for the short life Of the trees.
The most familiar aspect Of the dis
ease is the swollen, distorted appear
ance of the leaves in the early spring.
When the disease first becomes appar-
ent, the swollen portions of the leaves
are usually of light red or pink color
The affected leaves gradually turn yell
low, finally blacken and fall to the
ground. In some cases the trees may
be nearly defoliated, thus making it
necessary to develop an entire second
crop Of leaves. This is severe strain
upon the vigor and reserve energy Of
the tree, and unless it is well cult
waited. sprayed and fortified it may
be permanently weakened. The curl
ing and distortion of peach leaves
may also be caused by aphis or plant
lice, but the attack Of these insects

RICH SOIL FOR RASPBERRIES
Northern Slope Is Generally Better
Than Southerly one-keep Land.
Well Cultivated.

Raspberries do well on any rich
soil, but the suckering classes, which
include chiefly the red varieties, pro-
duce rather better in less heavy loan,
while the black-cap varieties do best
in sandy loan. A northern slope is
generally better than a southerly one,
as it is less liable to injury from
drought.
All varieties need high cultivation.
Have the land well MANFRED and thor
oughly plowed and brought into the
best condition possible. The best fer
tilizer is well-rotted manure Set in
rows seven feet apart and at three
foot intervals in the rows. Put two
plants at a place. The distance be-
tween the rows may be lessened to
four feet if more space is not avail
able. Set in the ground about the
depth in the soil as the plants natu-
rally grew. Firm the soil we'll around
the roots.
Not more than two shoots should be
allowed to grow from large root
each year, and these should be pruned
off when IS inches high to encour-
age the growth of lateral branches,
because the raspberries fruit more
heavily on the laterals than on the
main cane. Keep the soil well cult

Odd Watch Crystals.

A celluioid watch crystal which will
be as good as a glass one, and far
more durable, will fill long-felt want.
Anyone wearing a watch is liable to
break the glass crystal in an accident
at any time. One reason for the popu-
larity of open-face watches is that they
are provided with heavier crystals
than the timepieces with hunting
cases, and, unless the cases are extra
stir, they will give sufficient under
moderate pressure to cause the glass
beneath to break. The celluloid crys-
tai is said to have been successfully
made and used.

Alfalfa makes dairying profitable. It

Alfalfa hay and silage is the best

thinking of the boy.

he said. you can think it over. The

Red" did not deign to answer him.
H. sat down on his stool and buried
his face in his hands. All the past
memories came thronging back. Once
he had been a decent lad. He had not
been Red" then, and he had moved
among people who could not have i'm
agined the subsequent life. Then had
come temptation, in the shape Of 3
crook who had spotted his talent.
Red" had seen easy money before
him and had succumbed.
He thanked God that his wife had
never known. Red" had been Mr..
Crofts, churchgoer and respected in
their suburban home. Red was as
secretive with his pals as he was with
the United States detectives. Only
once a year he emerged into the un-

and take home another years supply

He made his way - New York. He
knew that Father" was still alive.
The death of so great man would
have rung through the walls Of every
penitentiary in the country inside OF

And he found Father" exactly
where he had expected-in Regan's
restaurant. Father" kept to his old
