It is their function to aupprasa. the insect that play havoc with the fartner'a bard-earned crop. Fifty-three per cent of the food of blrdi In one locality u found to consist of the larrae of the dis ease disseminating mosquitoes. Horse flies are the burden not only of horses, but of other valuable stock, and. (the larrae of this fly are the natural food of several species of birds. The fever ck, so Injurious to cattle. Is the natural food of the kllldeer and the plover. Com, cotton and other crops are destroyed to a large extent by grasshoppers, and there are at least 2 species of birds that feed upon grasshoppers. Grass lands and grain crops tn general suffer greatly from various Insect pests, which are de it royed tn vast multitudes by birds. The greatly dreaded boll weevil Is food for the plover, the kllldeer and Dthers of the feathered tribe. It is a sommon experience to see birds fol lowing the plow and consuming grubs that are destructive to garden and tther valuable plants. These friends f the planter should In every state e protected by right legislation. The announcement by a Boston phy lcian that electrifying the atmosphere f crowded apartments will make dull jupils bright and Indolent workmen ictive may be worth looking into. It s possible that it would even make lrowsy churchgoers attentive to long lermons. There Is a stimulating Influ ence In ozone, and this the electric jurrent, as employed by .the doctor, Is said to diffuse In the atmosphere. Df course, It cannot be a substitute tor freBh air. Ozone Is not oxygen, ind oxygen is indispensable to life. If it proves as beneficial as the doctor ifflrms the world will give it a cordial welcome, but the extent of Its employ ment necessarily will be governed ery largely by what It costs. The Chicago health board secretary vho condemns all flats as bad morally ind physically unfit places for the rearing of children states a melan :holy truth. It Is likely that they will persist In cities as a necessary evil, Jut parents who can give their chll lren the benefit of the larger, freer life of a separate home should never tesitate to do so. A rich man In Illinois, who found wealth too much worry, has distribut ed his millions. Here is a hint to the other millionaires who are always be wailing the burden of their money, but to whom the thought of sbeddlng the burden has never apparently sug gested Itself. Historians tell us that Julius Caesar lrank beer, and a French scientist :omes to bat with the announcement that there was no such person as Julius CaeBar.

Landls imposed the 20,000,000 fine. Judge Grosscup reversed this case. President Harrison appointed Ju -e Grosscup to the federal district bench In 1892, and in 1899 President McKinley appointed him a circuit Judge. In 1906 he was made presiding Judge of the circuit court of appeals. Judge Orosscup frequently was charged with being friendly to corporations In his decisions and an effort was made early last year to start impeachment pro ceedings agalnBt him. He was indicted In 1907 with other officers and directors of a street rail way company 'in Charleston, 111., as the result of a wreck In which 18 per sons were killed. Charges were made in 1908 that he was financially inter ested in a suit tried hefore him. Judge Grosscup frequently spoke on public luestions, particularly about trusts. IS BELOVED BY CANADIANS The Dominion of Canada seems to be coming upon a new epoch in her history. With the passing of the liberal party from power the present governor general. Earl Grey, and his wife, the much beloved Countess Grey, will also pass from the stage of Cana dian affairs and give place to the duke and duchess of Connaught Probably no other first lady of Canada has been more popular with the Canadian people than Countess Grey, whose portrait is here shown. She is a wom an of personality and charm and from the time that she was warmly re ceived into the country by the Canadi ans she has endeared herself to their hearts In a way that makes her de parture a source of deep regret throughout the Dominion. While In Canada Lady Grey has taken the deepest Interest In educa tional, charitable and humanitarian movements. She has been the moving spirit of many of Canada's charitable enterprises and always she has given unstintingly of her time, talents and money to the bettering of Canadian social conditions. She has been a gen eral favorite In Canadian society circles and also a great help to her bus band In his work In Canada. Lady Grey and the earl have ever been Interested In athletics and dur ing their years in Canada they have done a great deal toward the encourag ing and promoting of the sport of the Dominion. The Canadian people are greatly given to athletics and by their attitude in this regard the earl and countess have made themselves exceedingly popular. In departing Earl and Countess Grey will take with them the love, esteem and respect of all Canadians and their going Into newer fields will be mutually regretted by them and the people over whom they have so agree ably presided.

Many women do not give much thought to the matter of buying Block ings. Their cost Is bo little that It would seem as If one could not save much, ven If she were careful In this matter. But more can be saved by Judicious selection than is thought, and 1p tne course of a year or so this saving mounts up. If suspension garters are worn, choone the double top, garter-welt Blocking, and then do not fasten the garter below the garter top. Sjone buy the garter top stocking and then farten the garter below It where it immediately proceeds to tear out. Stockings without the garter top can be mnde strong at this point by run ning two or three rows ot machine, stitching where the garter fastens. The white-foot stocking does not wear quite so well as the all-black foot. Tho white part Is heavier than the black part and 1b apt to break above the joining. Then, too, at the Joining there is a slight thickening or the fabric scarcely visible to the eye, but the sensitive foot soon becomes conscious of it. For an inexpensive dressy stocking the mercerized lisle Is quite satisfac tory. It has almost the luster of silk, costs I and wears better. A PRETTY HAT.

Thing the of There Is no end to the variety ot form and color assumed by the ever inci'i'iiFlngly popular empire bag. In Its present stage It is a thing ot beauty and a joy of the season, though, being a child of Dame Fashion, It cannot bo a joy forever. You have no Idea how much money can be centered on the development ot these handsome and thoroughly charm ing envelopes. Costly gilt ornaments tire seen on many of the more elab orate ones, some of which are made eullrely of gold, silver, copper or steel colored lace. Heml precious stones are used to carry out a (lower pat tern or to hlghten the effect of con ventumal designs. Inside are trap pings of silver, gold or Ivory, tiny vanity cases, mirrors, powder pulls lip penc'.lp and the like. Another idea that has caught the fancy ot the woman who counts not cost, Is an empire bag ot brocade, either velvet or satin, to match her hat or Its trimmings Usually this hat is one of the small bonnetlike models edged with bands of fur, such as moloskln, Persian lamb, chinchilla or qrmlne. A band of the fur outlines the bag and the flap, which buttons over envelope fashion or course, the plainest of autumn suits would as sume a smart tone when worn wittj sucb ultra fashionable foibles. Bags of broadcloth of the same ma terial as the suit have deep chenille frlngos around the sides and bot toms, and correspondingly plain mountings of gun metal, old gold or frosted silver. Any odd piece of silk or velvet picked up on the remnant counter may bo transformed Into a strikingly hand some empire bag In an afternoon. And there Is a splendid chance for a dis play ot individuality.

IMPLEMENT FOR BAG-TYINQ 8pcially Constructed Tool 8hown Illustration Will Be Found Hsndy In Closing Sicks. In The operation of closing bags with a wire tie by means of a specially constructed tool Is shown in the ac companying Illustrations, says the Popular Mechanics. The wire tie is looped at both ends, and, when passed The Wire Tie, After Being Passed Around the Bag and the toops Placed Over the Hooks, Is Twisted by Pulling Out the Sliding Handle around the neck of the bag, these loops are placed over the Jwo hool.s at the end of the tool. The slldlti; handle Is then pulled, this action re volving the central rod bearing the books and twisting the ends of the wire together. Due to the formation of the loops at the end of the wire, which are left separated when the ty ing Is completed, the latter is easily untwisted when the bag Is to be opened. DEVICE FOR HOLDING BASKET Particularly Convenient In Picking Apples and Pears, Because It Will 8tay Where Placed. For the picking of fruits, especially apples and pears, many devices hav been used, and new ones are tried every year. Doubtless the pivot han dled half-bushel basket la the most popular receptacle for fruit picked among the branches on the Inside of the tree. One difficulty with the bas ket is that It Is awkward to handle Basket Holding Device. when hung on the usual double wire hook. To obviate this difficulty the de vice Illustrated herewith has been found effective, says the Orange Judd Farmer, loth ends of a stout manlla cord of any convenient length are fast ened to a hook. The cord 1h then passed around the basket handle and the hook thrown over a limb and caught around the now vertical cord. as shown. The hook, while secure, can be Instantly released, either from tho limb or the bosket, and yet It will "stay put" as long as desired. Prices for Capons. In many eastern markets the prices paid for dresHed capons range from 20 to 30 cents a pound. Tho highest prices usually prevail from January to May, and the lnrger the birds the more they bring a pound. 1 For this reason the larger breeds, such as the Brahma, Cochin, Ingshan, Plymouth Rock or Wyandotte are the most lultable. Why Boy Lesvtt Farm. One of the best reasons why the boy lesves the farm Is because It la a train farm.

But Not Mallow; and Whan Pressed tarainad Into Clean Barrels. By H. F. nSTOSTIAD. Mlseourl ) It Is not enough to simply grind the apples Into elder, then roll under the shade of a tree or Into the cellar ana patiently wait till the vinegar Is made To make good vinegar the apples should be about ripe, but not mellow, and when ground and pressed the elder should be strained Into clean barrels. While apples should be clean. It is not best to wash them before grind ing, and no water should be used In the cider. It is well known that the changing from sweet elder to vinegar begins as soon as the juice leaves the apple and continues through the various stages from six to eighteen months, the time depending on conditions and treat ment If the cider is kept In a warm cellar or other convenient place and a cake of yeast dissolved In water Is added for every five gallons, It will hasten the fermentation so that It may be completed within two or three months. Not until then should vinegar "mother" be added, but when It loses the bitter taste and begins to get sour It should be racked off and the barrel washed out, or it Bhould be put Into a clean barrel and some old vinegar and mother put In. The bung should be left out all of the time till the vinegar Is made, and a piece of cloth tacked over the hole to keep out the files and dirt. When conditions are Ideal, the bar rels left In a place where the tempera ture Is high for the first three n'onths. Modern Cider Press. or as long as the weather Is warm, yeast Is added to hasten fermentation, old vinegar and "mother" used as a starter, good vinegar may be made In six months. But, If the barrels are stored In a cool cellar and no attention paid to them, It will take from a year and a half to two years to produce mer chantable vinegar. The vinegar making may be hast ened by the addition in the last stages of making of water sweetened with molasses, preferably sorghum. When the vinegar Is made, tho bar rels should be filled if not quite lull and the bung driven In. Impenetrable Hedges. The hedges which we ordinarily se bordering country estates are planted for their ornamental and beautifying effect and not as a substitute lor fencing materia), but In the extremo southwestern part of the United States there are many hedges which serve primarily this latter purpose. Various species of cacti, such as the prickly pear, are used by ranchmen to enclose cattle ranges In those arid regions, and these hedges are practically Im penetrable. Wild animals are thus eT fectually prevented from attacking tho herds and flocks, and a supply of fod der may always be obtained by burn ing off the spines from the tender young shoots of tho cactus. Fighting Borers. Scientists have discovered a preven tive for borers and protection against rodents. Borers, mice Rnd rabbits have caused the loss of millions or dollars to fruit growers In this coun try in recent years. The remedy Is very simple -apply a fairly thick mixture of pure whltn lead and pure raw linseed oil to I ho trunk of tho tree The Idea of painting trees with white lead and linseed oil originated with Professor Allwood of the Virgin la state experiment station, who rec ommended it to keep mice ami rab bits from gnawing tho succulent hark of the young fruit trees Pruning Is Beneficial.
