Our apple and plum trees have
never been so effectually plucked of
the foliage by these destructive little
creatures as this spring. They ap-
pear before their season, and nearly
every tree is infested by them. The
only remedy is to cut off the branches
they have gathered upon and burn
them up. This should be done late
in the evening or early in the morn

up by the rays of the sun they are as

them escape if handled when it is
warm. If not interfered with they
soon rob tree of its foliage. It is,
however, an easy matter to destroy
them. Fruit trees should be watched
these days. Fortunately their sea.

Cleanliness in Milking.
Report of Hampshire Committee OF

Report of Hampshire Committee on
Butter and Cheese.
Between the COW and the butter
maker, however, there is a point
which cannot be too carefully guard
ed--the way in which the milk is
drawn from the COW and handled be-
fore it reaches the milk room. A
very large part of the poor butter
made, results from the milk being
spoiled before it is ever strained.
One lot of butter examined at the
fair showed this at once; it was not
fit for any use as food. Some. on
tasting it, would have said 'sanimal
odor." Perhaps so, but not from the
COW. If the cow is healthy and has
good food and pure water, there can
be no odor or taste to the milk in the
udder at all Objectionable. Nor will
there be if the milk is drawn from a
we'll cleaned udder by clean mixer,
in pure air, and kept away from all
sources of taint. Others would have
said this butter was ''cowy.'' Don't
lay such a charge to the poor cow; she
did her part faithfully. The butter
we complain of is not cowy; it is
horsey or piggy, or worse yet, filthy.
The COW keeper and mixer are the
persons-to blame. Let every butter
maker who has any regard for the
reputation of his product, insists up
on every precaution being taken by
the milker to keep the milk pure and
clean. No really good butter can be
if the milk is taken from an
bag, or by milker with
dirty hands or clothing, or if the
is done in a filthy or ill.,
stable, or the milk allowed
to stand, even for short time, sur
by impure air. It is the
greatest mistake to suppose that if
dirty or foreign matter gets into the
milk, careful straining will remedy
the evil; the object may be removed,
but the taint remains. It must also
be remembered that there are in
visible things as sure to spoil milk as
hose we can see. There are now inn
proved implements which greatly
protect the milk. guarding against
careless and accidents, but nothing
will take the place of careful, cleanly
milking.
