The Outlook i'm Texas.

Now that the spring has fairly OPEN
ed and we reasonably expect to have
mild weather, we can safely give re-
ports of losses of stock during the Win
ter. The mouths of January and Feb
ruary were the coolest known in this
section for many years, and the losses
of sheep and other stock were unusu-
ally great. In some sections few
fl 'cks lost from 25 to 30 per cent,
while neighboring flocks lost less than
. per cent. The greatest losses occur
ed in sedge grass ranges and in t1ocks
which were Landing. In the mesquite
grass ranges losses varied as above,
from 10 per cent. to possible 2 per
cent. in the same neighborhoods. In
the country west of San Antonio
losses were very light, in some coun-
ties amounting to 2 per cent. We
place the losses in the country south
and west of Mason county, known as
Southwest Texas, at y per cent. OF
sheep and per cent. of cattle, the
heaviest losses being in the counties
south and east of the international
railroad. The country is suffering for
rain. While there is enough moisture
in the ground to insure crop of grass,
there is no water in the back ranges,
and stock are forced to travel some dis.
lance for grass and water, as the grass
near permanent water has been eaten
or tramped out. The most Of the
breeding flocKs are now lambing, and
losses of lambs will be heavy on ac'
count of the ewes being in bad condi.

The Apple MaggOt.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune says: An insect enemy of
the apple attracting considerable at
tention in certain parts of New York
and New England is known as the APP
pie maggot (Trypeta pomonella,
Walsh). 1t is a small, while, footless
larva about one-iourth inch in length,
which bores tunnels in all directions
through the pulp of the fruit. FIRE.
quently these tunnels are enlarged
into cavities the size If pea, and
when several Larvae are present in the
same apple it is honeycombed so as to
render it useless. This insect, says
Professor Comstock in his recent re-
port to the agricultural bureau, is
quite distinct from the common apple
worm or codiing moth, which infests
apples near the core; and which in
leaving the apple makes an ugly bur-
row through its side.
1t will be seen that the injury done by
the apple maggot is even more serious
than that done by the codling moth.
For as the injury caused by the latter
insect is confined to the neighborhoo 4
of the core and to the single, nearly
the larva makes when leaving the
apple, it often happens that the injur-
ed parts of an apple may be cut away
and the remainder eaten. But the ma
ture of the injury caused by the apple
maegot is such that when the fruit be-
comes infested by this insect no one
cares to attempt to use it. The apple
maggOt is a native American insect
which naturally feeds on the different
species of hawthorn and upon crab
apples. 1t is probable that it occurs
throughout the country wherever haw-
thorn or crab apples are found; as it
has been observed in the Western and
Southern States as well as in the East.
But it is only in New York and New
England that the insect is known to
have acquired the habit of feeding on
the cultivated apple.
There is but one generation of the
apple maggot each year, In the au-
they leave the apple, enter the ground
and transform to pup1. The insect
remains in the pupt state during the
entire winter and early summer. The
adult is a black-and-w white fly with
banded wings. The apple maggot is
much more apt to intest early apples
than the winter varieties. The more
practicable ways of lessening the iniu-
ries caused by this pest are the destruc-
ton of infested fruit promptly after
its fall from the tree and before the
ma&gots leave it to go into the ground
to transform, and. where the pest Is
very abundant, the grating of the
trees into varieties less liable to be in.
tested. In such case it might be well
to leave one or two trees of early ap
pies to serve as traps, and promptly
destroy the fruit as it falls from them
If such trees could be enclosed anG
sheep or pigs pastured under them, tht
success of the trap would be assured.

FACTS.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
suit the time tables Of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. It's celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change of
sars tc Chicago where direct connection
is. made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut single change of cars to Iowa,
R,usss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota.
ovc. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Its s
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, ana in the end may lead
to the saving of much Of both as vel as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having talk or re-
