Three or four weeks are spent by the
worm in the fruit and two weeks at
least in the pupa which remains sur.

By the middle Of June, or possibly be.
fore. a second brood of moths appear
By July first these have visited the
apples and deposited eggs for third
brood. The rough skin of the fruit and
the stem cavity now offer suitable places
for the deposition Of eggs; and here they
are often placed. The history Of this
brood may differ from that of the other

The question now arises, "In which Of
the stages, namely, the egg. the worn,
the cocoon or the moth, may we attack
this pest and be reasonably sure Of sue.

SO there is nothing to hope for here.
Many cocoons are found under scales
Of bark. These may be destroyed and
the egg laying Of many moths prevented.
The worms busily burrowing within as
many different apples are beyond attack.
Their destruction now means the destruc.
ton Of the fruit we would save. The
eggs are too minute to be sought out and
destroyed even were such step practi

But the young worm takes for its frs,

TEX APPLE WORM.
A Brief Account In the Interest OF
Nevada Apple Growers.
Newspaper Bulletin No. ~

Newspaper Bulletin No. FL
This is the worst insect pest in Nevada
at the present time. Its prevalence and
the limits Of its distribution have 10.
creased wonderfully within the past few
years. While some orchards are but
slightly affected others are most thorough.
ly stocked. This latter condition will
be common to all in the near future
without doubt. This insect, the
mature form Of which is known as the
Cooling Moth. originally came from
Europe, was brought into California
about twenty yesrs ago and probably
came into Nevada. from our neighbor
State.
No exclusion act will have any effect
in case OF this kind. Existing condi-
tions must be met and the apple crops
saved from ruin by intelligent individual
effort.
THE NATURAL HISTORY
or habits of life OF this insect should be
understood to make evident the reasons
for the lines Of treatment COMMONLY en-
ployed.
The ''worm" 80 familiar to all is pro.
duced from an egg deposited upon the
apple by q small moth. This parent is
capable of laying from fifty to hundred
eggs, and in almost all cases but a single
one is placed upon an. apple. In this
process rough place is preferred. con.
sequently the eggs Of the first brood (of
which latter there are two or possibly
three each SEASON. are placed at the
"blow" end Of the forming apple. This
occurs at the time the blossoms fall are
soon after. The manner and time of egg
laying are very uniform habits with this
insect and are all important in the con-
sideration Of remedies. In the course of
week the egg matches and the young
worm at once begins to gnaw towards
the core of the apple. The worm attains
its growth while in the fruit; then leaves
1t to form the pupa. Much wormy fruit
will have fallen by this time. but in any
case the worm seeks some protecting
orsvice in which to pass the pupa state.
None better is afforded than the spaces
between the young bark and the old
scales. Here oocoons may often be found
in great numbers.

THAT BLESSED BABY.
How Its Mother Had to Engineer II
While Taking a Streetcar Ride.

A woman got into a Cold Spring car
yesterday afternoon. She was carrying
a sweet-faced baby, which was not
more than six months old
The car was detained on the corner
where the woman COY on, and she
shifted around nervously in her seat for
moment and then began TO toss the
baby about. Here is true description
of what she did with that child while
the car was going three blocks
Held it upright on one knee for
thirty seconds Then shifted it to the
other knee.
Pulled it up against her and hugged
it twice,
Tossed it on her left shoulder and
then shifted it to her right shoulder.
Held it up to the window and then
stood it upon her lap
Made a cradle out of her arms and
jumped it up and down about six
times
Put her hands under its arms and
tossed it five times,
Placed it on her left knee. Then
put it on her right knee.
Laid it on its stomach on her lap.
Rugged it to her bosom and patted
1t seven times.
Held it up to the window again,
then pulled ii over to her left shoulder,
shifted it to her right shoulder, and
wound up by dumping it on her lap.
Tossed it in the air dozen times
and hugged it four or FIVE times.
Laid it on its back on her lap and
then turned it SO that it lay on its
stomach.
Patted it for a minute and hummed
"Husha.by Baby" although the child
was not making a sound
Put it on her knee and joggled her
knee up and down, shook it in frort of
her, holding it out at arms length, and
then hugged it estatcally three times.
Held 1t up to the window for the
third time and then, when the con-
duCtcr came after her fare, laid 1t in
4 mussy lump on the seat beside her.
Patted it some more, joggled it some
more, tossed it some more and Topped
It down on its stomach again.
Held ii out at arms length and
gazed at il rapturously Talked glib
bcrish to it and hugged it some more,
And all this while the car was going
three blocks.
In heavens name, are babies made
of indiarubber that they should stand
20 much mauling? Are there women
who know enough to handle their
children as BELTS their delicate organ
lzations? Do you wonder that the wee
things cry? And why don't some of
these many women's societies get down
to practlcalitics and teach young
mothers what to do with the children
with which Gcd has blessed them2
