Report on Crop Pests and
Horticulture Out
The report of the past two
years of crop pt st and horticul
ture work at the Oregon Agri-i
cultural Experiment Station has
just come from the press, and
will be distributed to those v ho
write requesting it. As it was
expensive to publish, having sev
eral tine color plates, only 10,000
; copies were printed, and it is
'therefore not sent to the regular
maiiing list of the stations, which
contains names of many not in
terested in this particular phase
, of agriculture.
The report is a volume of more
than 300 pages, embodying the
; reports of the division of honi
! culture and the departments of
entomology, botany and plant
'pathology. There are many in
teresting illustrations and valu
able tables showing results of ex
periments which, if properly
heeded, may save the farm. Ms
and fruit growers of the state
manv thousands of dollars.

' JUICE OF THE' CACTUST"
And a Deadly Battle Between a Toad
and i Tarantula.
In midsummer the writer wit- :
ne-si'd a ciimljiit in tin Texas Pan
handle district lictween a honied
toad ami a lurjiu tarantula. The
toad made rapid drives at the taran
tula, critipliiiL!; it hy tin l,oss of one
le'. Soon the tarantula fastened
itself by its ii til to all eyelid of
the toad and heroically endeavored
to do as much harm as possible. As
soon us the. toad was free of its foe
it ran to a nearby cactus, cut
through the thin greenish skin,
sucked vigorously at the scant juice
and then rubbed the wounded eye
lid against the dani) liber of the
cactus.
Now wits the battle renewed. Part
of another leg was lost by the taran
tula, and again was an eyelid of
the toad attacked. Again was the
cactus sought, and the same ac
tions resulted as when the first eye
lid was wounded. The toad was
readily rejuvenated hy the cactus
fluid and soon returned to give
hat lie. Pierce was the struggle
once more. In the meantime the
writer kicked the small cactus be
yond reach of the toad.
Again was the toad bitten by the
huge spider, and again it sought
the place where the cactus stood. .
Disappointment was evidenced hy
the wounded creature in riot find
ing the plant as before. The toad
sat seemingly meditating for sev
eral" seconds, then hurried hither
and thither in search of the plant
to no avail. The battle was again
taken up, though it was apparent
that I he load was in distress and
laboring tinder a handicap of some
painful sort. Soon it began quiver
ing. It panted and feverishly play
ed for time.
Presentl" the tarantula fastened
t
."b.
. ! i
itself Id .ii c-.ibd of the plucky
ciuiibalalil and initially spit poison
ill I it us rye mid lle.-h. When S'cm
in;;lv salis:d. the t.ir.uitula releas
ed its Iml I, eyed its victim fur a
second, then hobbled away; while
the toad sank closer and closer to
earth in the throes of death and
swelled as if full of virulent poison.
It finally gave up the ghost after
such a h.iille royal, mure defeated
by man than by ail enemy of Ihu
plains.
The cactus plant has alTordeil
man a strong heart tonic for many
years, and from the use this liltle
horned warrior of the plains made
of the cactus lluid as an antidote
for tarantula poison man may yet
find in thi- prickly, apparent nuis
ance of the sciuiarid regions of the
great southwest an antidote for
many poi-ons hitherto considered
almost universally fatal, for where
nature's creatures go ami partake
by instinct and grow well and hale
man. the reasoiter, may learn vast
secrets for the healing of humanity.

public. Faithful to Hit Friend.
Toole and Irving were friends
from the das when they were both
struggling beginners. On one oc
casion Irving was lo oe presented to
(ticen Victoria and was delighted
at I he honor. An ollicious court
functionary took it. upon himself to
tell the player "not to mention this
mailer oul.-ide" lest other actors,
such as Mr. Toole, might think that
they should be presented too. "Let
me tell von, sir," said Irving, "that
Mr. Toole is not only a deservedly
renowned comedian: he is also a
truly Christian gentleman. Toole
often saved me from adversity, per
haps starvation, when I was un
known. If John L. Toole is not
worthy to be presented to her most
gracious majesty neither is Henry
Irving. I wish you good day, sir!"

A Wonderful Memory.
Ilorfensius, the great lioman law
yer and orator, had a memory of
exl raordinai'v scope and tenacf iy.
After composing a speech or oration
he could repeat it word for word
exactly as he had prepared it. On
one occasion he went to an auction,
where the business was carried on
during an entire day. and at even
ing, for a wager, he wrote down a
lisl of the articles that had been
sold and the prices, together with
(In- names of the purchasers, in the
order in which the purchases had
been made.
