That birds sometimes inflict injuries upon orchard trees and their products is a fact with which every fruit-grower is familiar; but it is not so well known that they are frequently of great service in destroying enemies of the orchard, and yet the aid they render in this subtler way far more than offsets the harm that is so apparent. The enemies with which the fruit-grower has to contend, aside from the elements and the birds themselves, may be divided into three categories—vegetable parasites, such as fungi and bacteria; certain mammals, such as rabbits and mice; and insects of various kinds. Against vegetable foes birds afford little, if any, protection. Their efficiency is shown in the destruction of noxious mammals and insects. The value of their work in dollars and cents is difficult of determination, but careful study has brought out much of importance in ascertaining approximately to what degree each species is harmful or helpful in its relation to the orchard. Among birds which most directly affect the interest of the fruit-grower may be mentioned woodpeckers, of which about 45 species and subspecies are found within the limits of the United States, all of decided economic importance. Their subsistence is obtained for the most part upon trees, a mode of life for which they are specially adapted. The character of the feet and tail enables them to cling easily to upright trunks, and the structure of the bill and tongue gives them the power to cut into solid wood and withdraw the insects lodged inside. The toes are in pairs, one pair projecting forward and the other backward, and are furnished with very strong, sharp claws, an arrangement which insures a firm hold upon the bark. The tall is the closest search by man; but the more microscopic eyes of these small birds detect them even in crevices of bark. Frequent associates of the chickadees, and doing practically the same work, are the nuthatches and the brown creeper. The nuthatches are about the same size as the chickadees, but are more agile tree-climbers, in this respect excelling all North American birds. While woodpeckers and titmouse usually run up the trunks, nuthatches run up or down, or along the underside of a horizontal branch, with equal facility, and do not depend upon the tail for support. The brown creeper, like the chickadee, is constantly engaged during the day in searching for insects' eggs and small insects in the crevices of the bark. It is an active, nervous little creature, which flits rapidly from one tree to another, generally alighting upon the trunk near the base, then running spirally upward, and after a hurried inspection, winging its way to the next tree. These three birds perform a service which it is difficult for man to do for himself, and they should be protected and encouraged. Probably no group of insects contains a greater number of orchard pests than the order Lepidoptera, which comprises butterflies and moths, with their larvae, or caterpillars. Tent-caterpillars, cankerworms, fall-webworms, tussock-moths, codling-moths, and a host of others are among the worst enemies of the fruit-grower. It is therefore fortunate that there are in the United States two birds that subsist, to a great extent upon caterpillars, apparently preferring them to any other food. These are the cuckoos, the yellow-billed and the black-billed. The examination of the stomachs of 155 cuckoos demonstrated that this bird will destroy in the vicinity of a thousand caterpillars in the course of a day. Caterpillar hairs are often stiff, bristly and sharp at the end like minute thorns, and it frequently happens that FRENCH PRESS JEALOUS OF YANK Says American Government Virus Claims All of Southern and Central America. Paris papers continue to regard attitude of the United States in Canada with suspicion. The Times in an editorial last week says: salvation of the Latin race in States of Central and South America lies in federation and union. political views and divisions keep in a feeble condition, which pushes them at the mercy of the former Anglo-Saxon confederation in north, whose policy extends its curse over the entire continent, which proclaimed its own by the Monrotrine. “What was originally its moral tectorate, the United States aim degrees to render effective witch without the Pan-American Conspiracy between Colombia Venezuela serves this policy so that one cannot but feel he has Americans in the imbroglio.

Come and let us show you our line of the LONDON NOVELTIES Perfect Fit Guaranteed ANN BLOCK ANAHEIM JOSEPH BACKS, ertaker and Embalmer are found within the limits of the United States, all of-decided economic importance. Their subsistence is obtained for the most part upon trees, a mode of life for which they are specially adapted. The character of the feet and tail enables them to cling easily to upright trunks, and the structure of the bill and tongue gives them the power to cut into solid wood and withdraw the insects lodged inside. The toes are in pairs, one pair projecting forward and the other backward, and are furnished with very strong, sharp claws, an arrangement which insures a firm hold upon the bark. The tail is composed of very stiff feathers, pointed at the end, that can be pressed against the tree trunk, and thus made to support and steady the bird. The beak is rather long, but stout, and furnished with a chisel-shaped point, which is hardened and sharpened so as to render it a most effective wood-cutting instrument. The tongue, the most peculiar portion of the anatomy of these birds, is extended backward by two slender, flexible filaments of the hyoid bone, each incased in a muscular sheath. These filaments, instead of ending at the back of the mouth, curve up over the back of the skull, across the top of the head, and down on the forehead, and in some species entering the opening of the right nostril, and extend forward to the end of the beak. In the last case the tongue is practically twice the length of the head. By means of its surrounding muscular sheath, the tongue can be protruded from the bird's mouth a considerable portion of its length, and can thus be inserted into the burrows of wood-boring larvae. In order to secure grubs or other insects, it is usually furnished with a sharp point and is barbed on the sides. It is evident that a bird possessing such an apparatus must be capable of doing work which less advantageously endowed species cannot accomplish. Hence, while most birds content themselves eating such insects as they find upon the surface, woodpeckers seek those larvae or grubs which are beneath the bark, or even in the very heart of the tree. To render more effective the mechanism here described, these birds are gifted with a remarkably acute sense of hearing by which to locate their prey within the wood. That they do so with great accuracy, is disclosed by examination of their work, which shows that they cut small holes directly to the burrows of the grubs. The red-bellied woodpecker, which is not common in the East north of Pennsylvania, has fallen into disrepute among the orange-growers of Florida by its attacks on oranges. It does considerable damage by pecking holes in the ripe fruit, and sometimes causes serious loss. It is to be hoped that experience will show some way to prevent these ravages without destroying the bird; for its harmfulness is confined to the orange-groves of Florida, and it is of much value elsewhere. The well-known titmice, or chickadees, though small in size and unobtrusive in habits, do much good in both orchard and forest. So far as known, the food habits of all are beneficial. tussock-moths, coddling-moths, and a host of others are among the worst enemies of the fruit-grower. It is, therefore, fortunate that there are in the United States two birds that subsist, to a great extent upon caterpillars, apparently preferring them to any other food. These are the cuckoos, the yellow-billed and the black-billed. The examination of the stomachs of 155 cuckoos demonstrated that this bird will destroy in the vicinity of a thousand caterpillars in the course of a day. Caterpillar hairs are often stiff, bristly and sharp at the end like minute thorns, and it frequently happens that when a cuckoo's stomach is opened and emptled it is found to be completely furred on the inside by hairs which have pierced the inner lining and become fast. Cuckoos also eat many noxious insects, such as beetles, bugs and grasshoppers. They are naturally shy birds, preferring the edges of woodland and groves to cultivated grounds and orchards; but, if unmolested, they soon gain confidence, and will even frequent shade trees in the very heart of the city. When fruit trees are young, and more especially when they are in the nursery rows, they are subject in winter to attacks from various species of mice and rabbits, which gnaw the bark from the trunks, completely girdling the trees, and thus ruining them. As a case in point, a nursery of less than 5 acres, situated in Maryland, only a few miles from Washington, 2,000 out of about 4,000 apple trees were girdled and ruined by rabbits within two months. It is very significant that the nursery was near farm buildings where the wild enemies of the rabbits did not dare to come; while a newly set orchard at a distant part of the farm, and close by woods and thickets, was hardly touched. Field mice and other small rodents are represented in the United States by numerous species, all of which may do mischief to young trees in winter, and most of which are doing some mischief at all seasons. Rabbits, as a rule, are not so numerous, but their larger size and fondness for young fruit trees make their destructiveness fully as great as that of the smaller rodents, and, in fact, much greater in some sections, where they are particularly abundant. But there is a group of birds which seems to be especially adapted to prey on these harmful rodents and hold their numbers within reasonable bounds; although it often happens that, through the shortsightedness of man, this wise arrangement is disturbed. This group comprises the hawks and owls, of which about 73 important species and subspecies are found in the United States. Dr. A. K. Fisher, or lithologist of the Department of Agriculture, has investigated the diet of these birds, and has shown that the great bulk of their food consists of injurious rodents. After an examination of some 2,700 stomachs, only 6 of the 73 species and subspecies are classed as in the main harmful; the testimony of stomach examination is overwhelmingly in favor of the major-ities. Col. Tuffree Will Begin the Sale of Lots Tuesday. Sept. 17. Col. J. K.

After an examination of some 2,700 stomachs, only 6 of the 73 species and subspecies are classed as in the main harmful; the testimony of stomach examination is overwhelmingly in favor of the majority of the species. Mice, rats, rabbits, gophers and ground squirrels constitute the chief food of most of the larger species, while many harmful insects are destroyed by the smaller ones. These birds at times feed on smaller insectivorous birds and poultry, but mice and other rodents are by far the commonest food of most species.—From the Year-Book of the Department of Agriculture.

The faculty of the Agriculturelege of the State University and that, beginning Wednesday, October a special course of instruction in husbandry will be offered by the university in connection with the College of Agriculture. This course is signed to meet the needs of all people who are engaged in the various dairy manufacture, and desire to themselves more familiar with principles underlying the management of milk products and the application those principles to actual practice. The end that they may know how turn out an improved product method of instruction and work will appeal equally to the need those who are manufacturing products, whether it be in the dairy, using improved appliances or large creamery or cheese factory. The advance in dairy practice has so rapid and the intimate relation science to dairying has been shown to close during the past few that it is difficult for the person dinary practice to fully understand that has been done and the best may bring him in his work.

FRENCH PRESS JEALOUS OF YANKEES American Government Virtually Claims All of Southern and Central America. Paris papers continue to regard theude of the United States in Central America with suspicion. The Temps, on editorial last week, says: "The nation of the Latin race in the states of Central and South America is a federation and union. Their political views and divisions keep them feeble condition, which places them at the mercy of the formidableelo-Saxon confederation in the south, whose policy extends its cupidity to the entire continent, which it has claimed its own by the Monroe doctrine." What was originally its moral pro-erate, the United States aims by decree to render effective with or out of the Pan-American Congress. The conflict between Colombia and Venezuela serves this policy so well that one cannot but feel the hand of Americans in the imbroglio. It furries them with a desired pretext for forming a squadron to both sides of the bus, and exercising jurisdiction police control, by virtue of a treaty with Colombia, in the district interoceanic canal, which they have all to themselves by tearup the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, by which they agreed with England to rivalry. It may, perhaps, be hoped that the blood and the voice of wisdom induce Venezuelans and Colombians to listen to the counsels of peace concord before their dissensions provoked intervention which will care the way for the ruin of their land nationality." The Français said: "Americans are patiently seeking an opportunity of big hands on the Isthmus of Panama and should an opportunity not pre-erate." They are determined to learn the dairy industry and to learn the why as well as the how of scientific methods in dairying. In the official announcement of the new department, it is pointed out that in no State is instruction in dairy methods more needed than in our own, where so much money is being invested in the industry, both in improved dairy cattle and in plants for making butter and cheese. Lecture courses on this subject have been given annually for 22 years past; but trained men are needed everywhere to operate the dairies and creameries and cheese factories, so that the invested capital may be turned to the greater profit by economical management and by the production of an article commanding the highest market price. Eighth Congressional District. The reapportionment by the legislature of the congressional districts of the state throws the southern counties into new political relations and makes the outcome of the next congressional campaign a matter of much speculation. Los Angeles county, formerly with the coast counties in the sixth district, now makes up the seventh district by itself. The eighth district is formed of Inyo, Tulare, Kern, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, Orange, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. Inyo was a part of the old second district; Santa Barbara, San Luis and Ventura were in the sixth district and the remaining counties in the seventh. As the district is now organized it is composed of two San Joaquin valley counties, one mountain county, the three upper coast counties, and the four counties of the extreme south. In point of population Inyo is the smallest with a little over 4,000, and San Diego is the largest with 35,000. San Bernardino comes next with 28,000 and the balance are from fourteen to eighteen thousand. Politically the district is Republican. Inyo, Kern, Tulare, and San Luis BEET RAISING Estimated Expense and Returns From One Acre. The following data in regard to beet raising is from estimates made by J. L.

Also, in addition to caring for the 50 acres of beet land, a man can farm sufficient barley land to raise a supply of hay and grain for his stock.

He has just returned from a thorough tour of inspection of that State, and reports the association OMISING NEW TOWN OF BORROMEO Tuffree Will Begin the Sale of Town Lots Tuesday, Sept. 17. M. J. K. Tuffree has for some days been surveying his Rancho Buena into ten and twenty acre lots, going out wide avenues and thoroughsides, and will on Tuesday, Sept. 17, in an auction sale of a limited number of lots with a view to starting the town of Borromeo. The ranch is bounded by the richest of orange walnut groves, and the new town regarded by many as the coming propolis of the northern part of the county. But a short distance less its northern border lies the east oil field in Southern California. One location is ideal, and when it is understood that at least one transconantal line of railway has been surged through the ranch, and that San Pedro harbor is completed, other lines will traverse the new town, it will be seen that Borromeo's prospects are of a roseate hue. Of water for irrigation there is an abundance, and there is power sufficient generate electricity for all purposes. This means the new town will be located. The location is among the richest in part of the old second district; Santa Barbara, San Luis and Ventura were in the sixth district and the remaining counties in the seventh. As the district is now organized it is composed of two San Joaquin valley counties, one mountain county, the three upper coast counties, and the four counties of the extreme south. In point of population Inyo is the smallest with a little over 4,000, and San Diego is the largest with 35,000. San Bernardino comes next with 28,000 and the balance are from fourteen to eighteen thousand. Politically the district is Republican. Inyo, Kern, Tulare, and San Luis Obispo are always Democratic, but the balance are safely Republican. The first convention of the new eighth district is going to be an interesting one. There will be new political affiliations and new combinations, organizations that heretofore existed in three separate districts must be brought together. It has been figured out that, basing on one delegate at large and one for each 200 Republican votes, the Republican convention will be composed of delegates as follows: San Diego 20, San Bernardino 17, Riverside 13, Orange 12, Tulare 10, Ventura 10, Santa Barbara 11, San Luis Obispo 9, Kern and Inyo 3. No one county can control the party organization, but of course there will be combinations of counties. As regards candidates it is rather early for much to be said, although there is considerable being done in a quiet way. The Democrats are sawing wood, but the Republicans are naturally bringing out their men. Senator Nutt of San Diego is mentioned; and also Colonel Prescott of Redlands, O. Z. Hubbell of Ontario, and Senator Smith of Bakersfield, with Ventura yet to hear from.—Ventura Free Press. Where Girls Don't Flat. In Italy, according to Marchesa Theododi, who writes about "What Girl Life in Italy Means," there is plenty of love-making, but not between the young people of the higher social class. Among the lower classes the youths are freer to please themselves, and there is no lack of furious love-making, seasoned with jealousy, estrangements, peacemakings, tears and smiles, as Mother Nature intended it to be. But there is no flirting. Love is taken very seriously, and on the girl's side, at least, is indulged in with marriage as the end in view. Flirting for the sake of amusement, simply to while away the long summer days or as a mild stimulant at balls and parties, with no idea of matrimony in the background, is a kind of sport which has not yet reached us from beyond the Alps. We are so far behind the times that to grant the slightest privilege to a man who has not avowedly shown that he means marriage would be considered downright dishonest by a respectable Italian girl. A girl who is not married at 30 will remain in the same dependent state as at 17. She would no more think of walking the streets alone, paying a visit or traveling from the city to the country without a companion or a chaperon than she would think of choosing her own clothes and dressing as she liked. Want a Farmers' Trust. COLUMBIA, S.C., Aug. 10.—The Hon. Harvie Jordan, President of the Southern Cotton Growers' Association, is enthusiastic about the results of organization in Texas. He has just returned from a thorough tour of inspection of that State, and reports the association stronger there than in any State except Georgia, which started its organization a year ahead of the other States. The Texas crop will be shorter, Mr. Jordan thinks, than last year, despite the increased acreage. Mr. Jordan is strongly in favor of a farmers' trust, and declares it to be the only sensible solution of the situation. That is what his association is working for he says. It has gathered great strength since last year, especially in the Southwest. Every county in Texas has an official organizer, and considerable money is being spent in supplying the farmers with literature. The purpose of the organization is to enable the farmer to fix the price based on crop yield (which the association expects to be able to estimate very accurately early in the season) and on the probable demand. The cotton not needed for immediate consumption will be stored in bonded warehouses, which will be established in every community. This will be sold during the year, according to demand. The farmers obtain advances on stored cotton. The explanation of the large receipts all this spring and summer, in comparison with those of the crops for several years past, is probably that a large amount of cotton was put last winter into bonded warehouses all over the South. Such was the case in this State. Money Lost in Oil. Out in the hills to the north of San Jacinto the deserted rig of the San Jacinto Oil company stands, a silent sentinel, standing guard over the thousands of dollars sunk into the earth below. Many attempts were made by this company to reach oil, but a small stream of water was all that could be found, and the conclusion must be reached that the spot was faulty and some one erred when he advised placing the well in that particular location. Another relic of exhausted efforts is seen in a small ravine a mile and a half below Rincon, in the Santa Ana canyon. The nine-inch hole there is about 1000 feet deep, and contains the respectable sum of $14,000 sunk by the Rincon Crude Oil company. At a meeting of the directors of the company a few evenings ago, it was decided to close up the company's affairs and sell the machinery and casing. Still another failure is the well of the Riverside-Fullerton company situated near the Santa Fe railroad at the foot of the Box Springs grade. To many observers it seemed the height of folly to try to sink a well where the indications showed nothing but granite press its northern border lies the lowest oil field in Southern California. The location is ideal, and when it is understood that at least one transconcentral line of railway has been surged through the ranch, and that San Pedro harbor is completed, another line will traverse the new town, it will be seen that Borromeo's prospects are of a roseate hue. If water for irrigation there is an abundance, and there is power sufficient to generate electricity for all purposes, this means the new town will be settled. The location is among the richest in Southern California, and that the sale of lots will be thoroughly successful goes without saying. Drying at the University. The faculty of the Agricultural College of the State University announce, beginning Wednesday, October 9, special course of instruction in dairy business will be offered by the University in connection with the College Agriculture. This course is designed to meet the needs of all persons who are engaged in the various lines of dairy manufacture, and desire to make themselves more familiar with the principles underlying the manufacture of milk products and the application of these principles to actual practice, to end that they may know how to run out an improved product. The method of instruction and work done in appeal equally to the needs of all those who are manufacturing milk products, whether it be in the ranchery, using improved appliances, or in large creamery or cheese factory. The advance in dairy practice has been rapid and the intimate relation of science to dairying has been shown to close during the past few years, but it is difficult for the person in ordinary practice to fully understand all that has been done and the benefits it may bring him in his work. The dairy school, with its equipment of modern machinery and in the hands of trained instructors, is designed to offer an easy quick means to come into close touch with what science is doing for the background, is a kind of sport which has not yet reached us from beyond the Alps. We are so far behind the times that to grant the slightest privilege to a man who has not avowedly shown that he means marriage would be considered downright dishonesty by a respectable Italian girl. A girl who is not married at 30 will remain in the same dependent state as at 17. She would no more think of walking the streets alone, paying a visit or traveling from the city to the country without a companion or a chaperon than she would think of choosing her own clothes and dressing as she liked. Not even at that mature age would she choose a husband for herself without the approval of her family. Italian girls, unlike most of their American sisters, are generally unwilling to have their photographs published, and even when their consent is obtained their relatives may object. In arranging, for instance, for pictures to illustrate one article, the agent had with much difficulty at last secured the photographs of some very pretty Italian girls, with their permission to publish the pictures without their names, simply as types of Italian girlhood. Before the photographs had been mailed however, a jealous lover, three still more jealous brothers and a pair of angry fathers withdrew the young ladies' given permission, and the photographs were, of course, at once returned. After further fruitless efforts the hope of getting any pictures had almost been abandoned when, by a happy chance, the good offices of Prince Ruspoli, the Lord Mayor of Rome and head of the municipal schools, were enlisted and proved successful. Drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions, which adhere to the membrane and decompose, causing a far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants, fumes, smokes and snuffs and use that which cleanses, soothes and heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such a remedy and will cure catarrh or cold in the head easily and pleasantly. A trial size will be mailed for 10 cents. All druggists sell the 50c. size. Ely Brothers, 56 Warren St., N.Y. The Balm cures without pain, does not irritate or cause sneezing. It spreads itself over an irritated and angry surface, relieving immediately the painful inflammation. With Ely's Cream Balm you are armed against Nasal Catarrh and Hay Fever. DOCTORS say "Consumption can be cured." Nature alone won't do it. It needs help. Doctors say "Scott's Emulsion is the best help." But you must continue its use even in hot weather. If you have not tried it, send for free sample. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409-415 Pearl Street, New York, 50c. and $1.00; all druggist.
