The Web Worm.

The orchardist in looking over his trees
will be quite likely to see branch whose
leaves, out towards its end. look scor ched
and dead. Coming nearer he will see a
slight web, like a spiders web or little
like a caterpillar's, covering the dead
leaves. In casual examination he will
see no cause for this, but he will notice
that il grows larger as the days go by,
and that from the end ofthe branch where
it began, it is constantly stretching in
towards the tree. On closer examination
he will find yellowish brown worm
from five eighths of an inch to an inch in
length which is doing the mischief, and
who, unlike the caterpillar, will extend
his web as far as he feeds. These worms
are so small and so nearly the color of the
dead leaves, that they will escape observa-
ton at first. and perhaps their destructive
work will be underestimate. They are
more destructive than the caterpillar and
are becoming alarmingly frequent
In some localities we have visited they
are destroying not only fruit trees, but
clms, cherry and other wild wood trees
The way to cure it is to cut off the branch
and burn it as soon as it is discovered to
be infected with this web. On favorite
pear tree we tried another way and
cannot tell yet how it will work. We did
not want to lose the branch, so we put
swab on stick, wormed off the nest, and
then wet the swab with kerosene and
brushed over the limb, especially the parts
nearest the tree, which had been but re
Gently attacked. We think it will step
the ravages of the worm, but whether Il e
branch will recover and leave out again
next spring we cannot tell.
We advise to look after this pest very
closely, and now, when its ravages art

likely 10 get it under control aud prevent
the damage which will be sure to follow

The Dairy Belt.

This is an old time phrase. 1t came
into use when the i'm pression was cur
rent that there was but a narrow limit
TO the territory in which dairying could
be successfully carried on. 1t has no
significance now, and is fast becoming
obsolete. 1t is now known that only
good milk, but good butter and cheese
can be successfully produced anywhere
that COWS can be kept in fairly health
full condition, and supplied with nutri-
tious and euccueut food. IL Is not
necessary that the food should be grown
in any particular climate, or on any
particular soil, though vegetation Is to
some extent modified by both climate
and soil. Milk and its products may
vary in different localities, and yet be
equally good. There is no place in the
United States so hot or so cold, so wet
or so dry, that cows will not prosper
by little protection from heat and
drought in ole extreme, and from cold
and storms in the other; and wherever
cattle can flourish, milk and its pro-
ducts are easily attainable of good
quality and at reasonable cost. IL has
been taken for grained that dairying
could not go,south beyond certain lines,
but wherever such lines have been fix
ed, they have been quickly exceeded
Year by year the dairy crept further
South, till Mississippi even is becoming
a dairying State. NationGl Live Stock
