Insects That Attach Foliage.

The two principal classes of insects
which attack the foliage of the apple tree
are plant lice and leaf eating caterpillars
The lice hatch in spring, as soon as the
leaf buds begin to expand. and increase
SO rapidly that, almost as fast as the
leaves develop, there are colonies Of plant
lice ready to occupy them.
The best applications. according to sew
eral good authorities. are kerosene emul
sion and tobacco decoction. One formula
for the emulsion is as follows Add two
parts of kerosene to n part of a solution
made by dissolving half a pound Of hard
soap In one gallon Of boiling water, and
churning the mixture in the com
monty directed for this emulsion, until
the whole forms a creamy mass, The so
luton must be hot and removed from the
fire when the kerosene is added This
emulsion must be diluted with nine parts
of cold water before being used
Tobacco decoction is made by soaking
refuse tobacco in hot water and then drain
ing off the liquid When the plant lice
are so numerous early in the season as to
make it Necessary. these remedies should
be applied by means of hand force punt
and spray nozzle, which may be attached
to a tank or barrel containing the insect
eide solution that can be driven in a
wagon along beside the trees.
Fortunately, where it is not actually
necessary that the remedies should be
used early in the season, nearly or quite
all of the leaf devouring insects, including
the c0terpillars, may be destroyed at the
same time and with the same application
If London purple and Paris green that is
required in May or June to protect the
newly formed apples from the cooling
moth, by which one spraying is made to
destroy the two classes Of insects and thus
answers a double purpose.

FIG "a sTANcHIoN FoR DEHoRNINe
Keep the animals out Of sight of those
rust dehorned, so that when their u
comes they will not be frantic with the
sight or smell of blood. Having secured
an animal in the stanchion. pass the rope
around his neck and doubling it pass the
loops through one of the rings and slip
the loop thus formed over the nose of the
animal Next pass the free end of the
rope over one end of the cross piece at
the top of the stanchion (which has been
left projecting a foot or so for the pur
pose), draw the head up as close Us posi-
BILE, wrap the rope once around the cross
piece. pass it through the free ring and over
the cross piece again. and have It held by
an attendant. The extra ring is simply a
convenience. After passing the rope over
the cross piece the first time it is difficult
to get the rope through the ring already
in use. 1t is Important to bring the rope
back to the head a second time In the
manner described; otherwise it will slack
and allow the animal 10 o his head
about too freely,
Thus secured to one side, saw of the
opposite horn. Then unfasten and re
fasten on the other side in similar man
ner and remove the remaining horn. No
exact rule can be given as to the place to
saw The best rule probably that can be
given is to saw so as To leave from one
fourth to three fourths of the hair bear
ing skin remaining on the horn. Ami
mails vary in regard to the extent Of the
skin at the base Of the horn. The
thinner skinned animals naturally have
the least, and the thicker skinned the
most. The main object is to saw of the
horn ever with The head, so that no pro
jecting stub remains. No application to
the wounds Is needed and ordinarily is
not advisable.
Not only does the animal suffer but the
operation is not a pleasant ~ to a man
Of sensitive nerves. 1t hurts different
animals differently, and the younger more
than the older usually, in Mr.. Hunts
opinion Every one must decide for him
self the ACCESSIBILITY of dehorning. 1t has
not been decided yet to the entire salts
faction of the public generally that de-
horuinp Is desirable.

But Didn't Catch the Meaning Of it Until
Zoe Late.
That is a bad gang which follows the
Barnum & Bailey SLOW. The gang is
a large one, and in the crowds o. the
streets Saturday it was not unusual to
hear some woman Shrek out, owing to
an attempt by a stranger to snatch hel
purse. The police kept a sharp lookout
and only a few cases can be learned Of
where the pickpOcGets were successful
in their nefarious work. During the
parade in the morning Fred Ort, Of
East Fourth street, went into the First
National Bank and drew $21O. Leav-
ing the bank he made his way through
tile crowd, but before he had gone far
found that his money was gone. During
Saturday evening Mrs. Valentine B!att-
man, residing in East Ninth street, was
in the business part of the city dong
shopping for Sunday. The glLded cir
Gus wagons passing along East Tuscan
awas street at intervals attracted her
attention, and she stopped a moment to
view one of unusual tinenesS. While
standing there she vas joslled by Il
stranger, but paid no attention to it.
Visiting a business house some few mo-
ments later, she found that her puse,
containing 81 had been taken. She then
understood the jostling of the stranger.

FIG. ROPE AND METHOD OF TYING.

I ROPE AMI METHOD OF TYING.
To perform the operation are required q
rope, a stanchion and a saw. Procure
twenty five feet of one-hAlf inch rope and
fasten two three inch rings to one end by
passing the end of the rope through the
rings and braiding it into the rope again.
in a similar manner to splicing.
A kitchen saw answers the purpose
fairly well. provided it is sharp, strong
and moderately fine A regular dehorn
ing saw differs from a kitchen one in hav
ing a stronger back and a thicker and
narrower blade It is thus less liable to
break. The blade being narrower the di
rection is more easily changed while saw
ing The blade can also be reversed, SO
as to saw while pulling toward you in
stead of pushing from you, as Is the case
with an ordinary saw
If a strong stanchion Is not at hand, set
two strong posts, eight and one-half feet
long. four feet apart and three feet in the
ground Set the posts securely The
stanchion must be strong Fig 2, drawn
to the scale of one half inch to the foot,
will assist in making n The timber
used is two by six inches, and may be hard
pine or equally strong material. The
lower edge of the top cross piece Is five
feet from the ground 1t is best to have
the s~tanchiun this height so as to be able
to raise the head Of the animal well up, as
it is thus more powerless The side of the
stanchion next the animal is planked up
two feet from the ground. This helps to
prevent the animai from running through
the stanclion while attempting to catch
him. and holds his neck up II he throws
himself, as animals are very apt to d.
