Yet with till these apparent difficulties while actual eradication of the pest Is practically Impossible heonuso of the existence of so much Infested fores' Kiowth still the control of the pest In and about our orchard nml ornamental trees and plantr Is a HiirprlsliiKly simple matter. II would be out of the question ti find and destroy all or oven i large percentage or the nests whirl have developed upon the wild KrowthH, which menus that eradlea Hon or the tent caterpillar from the ronton Ih practically Impossible Tliu practice or hurnliiK out thr nestH with a torch, will certalnlj destroy jrnt numbers of the lar vae, and upon Iart;e trees would It Is true, do little damage to the orchard. This practice applied In youiiK nrchanls iuIkIiI ami prob ably would do Irreparable Injury to Individual yonni; trees, the scar fold or which diirlnt; tlio llrst few yearH or growth, Is the prlnclpa1 care or the grower. Tlio burner llinli dlefl nml the tree becomes un balanced, and the uvsteni of iii-im Iiik to develop a kooi! sliaped tree Is llsort;nnl7.ed. IlesldoH, nt the In Hlnut when the flame Ih applied t( the nest, numbers of tho caterpll larn drop off (In only sllKhtly slut;, ed condition) upon tho lower Krowtlm and live on to do their nl loted amount of damr.Ko. From the nliovo It will bo readily Reen thnt the burnliiK mothod Is hut a par tial remedy, mid a very doubtful one at thnt. Tho caterpillars feed upon thr follat-it or the plant, tho mllccs of tho blossoms, and uvea the petals but tho Kientest number or them are nbroad beroro tho IiIossoiiih ap pear In the earlier and more ml unto form or the larvae, nml nt tack the first loaves mid callceH of inn clusters or hlossoins. It fol Iowh that souio remedy In order to ho offectlvo nml nt the same tlino practical must bo that which will destroy the larvae without de HtroyliiK tho ft-iiltliif- IiimIh.

Hy I)r Frank Crane - It Is generally assumed us 1111 ax iom thnt all persons want pence Considering the well-known fiicta In the career of tho hiimmi race, this Is a curious mistake. For If there Is nny one thing mankind seems to be fond of more than another It Is a row. Man emerges from the iiiIsIb of pre hlstorli time lighting. The oldest llliplenii'lits of Hie stone age and ol the cave dwellets ami lake people are not sofas mid rocking chairs, but knives, axes, and nrrows. with which they chopped one an other's heads. Homer's pages, the old (Irei k folk song, tire full of hackings and hew liign of men. The llllud Is as saugulu nry lis the Chicago sloikyards. Tho Romans foiuht. the Teutons fought, the Celts foi !ht. the .lapani'Se fought, the American Indians fought NO power appears oor to bine been nble to eradicate the lunate pugnacity of human beings. The Christians were poni'onblo for awhile ai llrst, but us soon as they got Into poA-cr they went at one Jinother with t!i force of a ferocity long pent up. Iloinooiudans mn1 homoloiislatiB threw bricks as hard its their names. Aryans and Trinitarians llew at each other's throats. The orthodox burned mid ton 11 red the heretic. We lovo to explain the simplest things by complex motives A hun dred causes have been adduced lor the continued existence of the nui sance of militarism. The real cause Ih simple. It Is that human nature wants to light. 1011 can see tins Hi Its most un diluted form uniong bhiuII hoys. One of them comes up to another and says: "I enn lick you." Whereupon they go to It, bnmmer and tongs. Prize lighting will not go out of Btylo for ninny a year yet; for It Ih the game of the primeval mini; it appears to an Instinct much older than that of money making or reading. Tho hoy-child loves to pound things mid people, to make n noise, mid to keep up the din of battle according to his lights. The college boy loves to BiniiBh windows mid street lumps, to naze, sciiuie mid organize high Jinks, Man Is still only half evolved from tho brute. He Is still a ferocious ani mal. Ills canine teeth have not yet disappeared and become bovine mo lars. Ho still considers business ami commerce ns lighting, politics us lighting, religion us lighting. Ho un derstands 110 way of accomplishing things but by organizing some kind of nn army and lighting.

RIFLES The Little Rifles Big in Quality YOU are goin to buy a .22 calibre rifle, single snot or repeater you'll find that many well known crack shots started with a Remington .22. Their advice now would be "By all means, gel a Remington" because they know that there is a tendency in some quarters to look upon these models as only "a small boy's ride" and to cheapen them so that they can be sold at a price. You have just as much right to expect full shooting value in your .22 calibre arm as in your i $75 big game rifle. You want the Remington single shot at from $3 to $6, .22, .25-10 or .32 calibre, made by the same people who make the famous Remington Autoloading Rifles. Or, if you prefer tlio repenting rifle, the Rcminiiton slide action .22 repeater with its ensy tnkc-down nnd special safety fea tures, shootini. 22 short, .22 lone or .22 lone rifle cartridges, at $10 and up, is your nrm.
