"All authors are agreed as to the
practical importance Of picking up and
destroying.the wOrmy apples, as fast as
they fall, either by bog, power. or, when
that Is inconvenient and imPraeticable,
BY man. power. The practical utility
of allowing gang Of hogs the range of
the apple orchard throughout the sum
mer is undoubted. When we consider
that every female moth that matches
out in July or August, from tho first
brood of opple-worms, will probably
deposit an egg in some two or three

rendering them more or less unsaleable,
