TIE PEAR Ml-pGE.
The Damage Done by This Pest and tho
Best Way to Hold 1t In Check.


The pear midge is ore Of tho insects
which have been introduced into the
United States within recent years and
are causing good deal Of injury in the
eastern states.
The adult insect or fly is described as
much resembling diminutive mosqui-
to. 1t makes its appearance very early
in the season before tho pear blossoms
open The female deposits her eggs in
the latter by piercing the potals or the
oalyx Tho midge larvae 1.-Two on the
substance of the pear tissue, destroying
tho seed and checking tho growth of the
.1ruit, which decays and drops in early
hummer. Our illustration shows a sound
young pear and one deformod by the pear
i1idge larvae.
The great difficulty encountered in
fighting this insect lies in, tho fact that
there is no period at which it is within
reach Of ordinary insecticides. The eggs
are laid i'll the bud before it opens, and
tho young larvae get into the heart CT
tho fruit before it is fully formed. The
adult fly does not feed ard is hence be-
yond our reach. 1t is only after the in
Jury is done that the insect goes under
ground and within reach OF destructive
agencies.
AS preventive measure it is recon-
mcndcd that the trees be examined as
soon as the pears arc well sot and that
every infested Or suspected pear be
picked off and completely destroyed,
while if an orchard is generally infested
the following practice is recommended.
Cultivate as usual, or if tho orchard
is in grass or clover plow under after
Juno 10 as soon IS may be. Top dress
with kainit 1000 pounds to tho acre to
benefit trees as we'll as to kill the in
sects. As soon as proper, cay carly in
August, SOW crimson clover. This Will
use up the potash not required by tho
fruit trees and will store nitrogen o.
we'll as occupy the ground Early tho
following spring turn this sod under as
deeply as may bo proper. 1t should be
done before tho pear buds arc developed
in order to head off and destroy any
midges then in tho pupa state near thC
surface Of the soil. This practice is al
tho same time tho best for the benefit Of
the orchard. st. Louis Post-Dispatch

How A CHILD SHOULD SIT.-ln sit
ting, the child must be provided with
u comfortable chair, adapted TO his
size and height, writes Eliz theth
Robinson Scovil in a very valuable
article on 1.-The Physical Culture of
Children" in the September Ladies
Home Journal. He should be made
to sit well back in it, and not on the
edge when he has to occupy it for
any length of time. The back should
if possible, give support to the small
of the back as we'll as TO the shout
ders. In working at a desk it should
be of such height that he can easily
see his work when sitting erect by
bending his head, instead of inclining
his body at the hip joints. The up
right position helps to expand the
chest and keep the shoulders in their
proper place. Its use soon becomes
habitual if it is insisted upon. In
walking, the heel should not be
brought down too firmly. A part of
the weight of the body belongs upon
the toes, and when a due proportion
is thrown there it gives an elasticity
to the gait which is lost when it is
not properly distributed. Walking
with the heels raised from the ground
is IA good exercise, although a fa-
tiguing one. Hopping on each foot
alternately is another. Dancing is a
valuable accomplishment for chill
dren. The consciousness of being
able to dance well gives ease and
self-possession to many a young man
and woman who would otherwise be
bashful and awkward. Little people
usually delight in the rythmetical
motion, and if it is not combined
with late hours it does them nothing
but good.
