There is a considerable history attached to Bruoellosis. It began in 1887 when sir David Bruce, of the Royal Navy. first iso‘ated the germ of "Malta fever," is d‘seasa which annually sent a very large percent- age of the garrison of Malta to the hospital. 'I“)e germ was afterwards found in the goats milk, which is commonly used on the Island of Malta. Then in 1896, Prof. B. L. P’. Bang, of Copenhagen, found the germ of contagious abortion in cat,- tle. and this disease became known as Bmgfis D.'sense. In 1905 the Bur- eau of Animal industry, U s.A.. imported 65 goat; from Malta and on arriving at the qimrantlne sta- tion eight out of the cmiv( out of a total of twelve) had been seriously 1']. All had been using goats’ milk during the voyage. but those who remained well. had boiled the milk before using it. Now our cousins like to be different, so they named the disease undu'ant fever, instead of Malta fever: because the tem- perature rose and fell, lower in the morning and higher at night.

By 1917 it had been dlfcovered (in the National Health Institute. USA.) that the germs causing Malta fever in man, and Bangs dis- ease in cattle, were practically the same: they were two types of the one germ. Then it was found that not only humans, goats. and cat- t'e suffered from ili's disease, but alro sheep, swine, and other ani- mals. The germ was now called Bruoeila mbortus. and the disease was l-ienceforth known as bruoel- losis. In 1923 a case of undulant.

“Let me hear from thee:

For wheresoe'er thou art in this world‘s globe

I'll have an Iris that shall find thee out."

Ruskin says that the fieur-de-lis. the flower of chivalry. has a sword for its leaf, and a Lily for its heart. The Iris had formerly many uses. according to the herbalists: but now its root is the source of ii-idin, a powerful hepatic stimu‘ant.

The Horned POPPY. Glaucium flsirum. another English wild flow- er, has Just commenced to bloom Its golden yellow f'owei- is from 3 to 4 inches acrofs and is succeeded by a nearly a foot long. which accounts for its popular name. Its grey-green laciniated fol- iage, with its lobes pointing in all directions, is very handsome.

And lastly the British Geranium lucidum, the shining-leaved Geran- ium. is opening its t’ny pink flow- ers under strange skies. This plant is found under hedgerows. or grow- ing on old walls, right from the Orkncys southward, but is local: that is, it grows in patches as it were. and is not generally distrRiut- ed. Cuiworms are relatively scarce in the garden this year: at least four times the damage was done last

about its middle. I have sometimes ANIMALS- had this beetle sent in for identi- fication.

The "Click Beetles" owe them name to their ability, when plac- ed upon their backs. to give a click while springing into the air. then mining down right side up. The Famiiy is a very large one, nearly 600 species being found in the Unit- ed States. I have examined Corym- lbzies suicicoiiis, c. cruclatus and c. cylindriformis; and a species of Limonlus, which was only identi- fied as to the genus.

These two brought about considerable chanfle in spraying and dusting methods. Both are contact poisons. meaning they kill whatever they touch. And both have the advantage of being harmless to humans and sni.rna.ls while being death to insects of all kinds.
