CATCHING CODDLING MOTHs.-We have
heretofore experimental with all the various
methods OF destroying the pest of the apple
/ orchard, and are fully Convinced that all
| other methods amount to nothing compared
wlde-monthed traps, such as discarded tin
fruit cans, bated with moIasses, vinegar. and
water, and mixed il the proportion OF four
parts OF water, to two Of vinegar and one of
| molasses.
When we consider that this is one OF the
most important insects that we have TO deal
with, and that it is one Of the greatest curses
OF the fruit-grower, it is q mystery to us why
those who have fruit-trees viii not make an
effort to totally annihilate this pest This
method is so simple, so easy Of application, so
cheap, and, lastly, so cGectaaI, that there is no
excuse for not applying the remedy. This
moth-miller is scarcely ever seen, many per
sons having never seen one. 1t is a very OBJ
scure insect, and most people have no idea
what it is. One reason why this is so, il
that it is very small another is that it is
night-fyor; and another is its habit OF fit
ting about in such a way that you can hardly
get your eyes upon it. This insect works in
the night and deposits its eggs by humping
up against the apples, usually putting the
egg into the blossom end, and seldom LAYING
two eggs in the same apple, and almost
never, if there are apples enough to 90
around, each insect laying from one to two !
hundred eggs, or about an average of on.
hundred. There is great difficulty in get
ting rid Of this pest, as it has two or three I
successive broods. The first comes to ma

stroyed. The same results attend the use OF
Quassia liquor; this also checks their pro-
gress so long as the application can be made
without communicating the fruit
Flaming torches carried between the rows
in the vineyard after dusk, at the same time
shaking the vines, will cause the insects to
fly towards the light and mus many viii be
consumed, but this applies only to those OF
them in the winged state; the young wing
less brood adhere TO the leaves and are not
harmed, and the insects are most destructive
while in their wingless condition.
A remedy which has been found quite
efectual in glass gTaperies is to mulch the
whole surface of the floor with tobacco stems
the refuse OF cigar manufactures. This has
completely routed the insects where all
other efforts to dislOdge them for years has
been futile. Whether this can be made
equally efficient in the outdoor vineyard
remains to be seen. We have no doubt of
the efficiency of the application, but its cost
might initiate against its practcability on
a large scale. Experiments should, how
ever, be made by those who suffer heavy
losses from thrps, and it may probably be
found that few tobacco leaves sprinkled
around the stems of the plants will be all
that is necessary.
