Messmates. By Edward Step, F. L. S. New

It is interesting to note that a partnership 

 may exist between animals and be distinct 

 from parasitism, or that condition in which 

 one partner lives at the expense and the in- 

 jury of the other. 



There are numerous instances in which two 

 distinct and unrelated creatures are found 

 constantly in close association without cost or 

 loss to either. 



Although the apple is perhaps the most 

 widely grown of our fruit trees, and probably 

 more generally known and prized than any 

 other, it is nevertheless a much neglected 

 tree. The agriculturist gives careful atten- 

 tion to everything else ,but in many cases 

 leaves the apple to fight its own battle. Mr. 

 Waugh, an enthusiastic apple grower, knows 

 how to transfer his enthusiasm and impart 

 his knowledge to other people.
