Ask the children to compare the various specimens of the same variety; for example, the Baldwins grown on the home farm of one of the children with those grown on another farmi in a different part of the neighbor- hood. This will bring out the lesson that there is variation in the same variety. This variation may be due to cultural methods, or it may be due to the inheritance or the pedigree of the stock. A difference in the inheritance or pedigree of the stock will teach that buds or scions from which commercial orchards are started should be chosen from trees which not only bear well but which bear the best fruit of that variety. Most commercial orchards at the present time are being set with good, strong, healthy trees from the nursery row, and then top- worked to the desired varieties with properly chosen scions. THE HOUSE-FLY Alex. D. MacGillivray The house-fly, found in all the warmer parts of the world, is a nuisance and a pest wherever it occurs.

There are many kinds of flies that closely resemble the house-fly in size and general appearance. Few of these frequent the house, however, and even then only a few individuals occur at one time. Over ninety-eight per cent of the flies found in dwellings are of one kind. There is only one species, and it is, therefore, worthy of the popular name of house-fly. Its habits deserve careful consideration. The house-fly is black in color, with five parallel, more or less distinct grayish band
