App,.-rr.. Lice tAph,s Mall FnbrO


Prof. James Troop, horticulturist M
Perdue University, writes: This little
insect has appeared in such numbers Nm
our apple orchards as to attract the
attention of fruit growers from allover
the state. In fact inquiries were re-
ceived during the winter concerning
the eggs which were found in unusuaS
abundance on the branches. Since the
warm weather began these inquiries
have become so numerous that 1t seems
best to publish a brief account OF the
insect and means of combating II.
The little shiny black eggs, mem
toned above, are deposited by the fe-
male louise on the twigs and smaller
branches Of the apple trees In the ant
umn. About the time the buds begin
to expand in the spring, these eggs
hatch into very small light green Lices
which Immediately insert their tinT
beaks into the young and tender leaves
and commence sucking their juices
The broods Matched at this time are Az
females, which mature sufficiently IN
ten or twelve days to enable them 10
begin the process of reproduction,
which, contrary to the general RUE
they are able to do without the pres
ence of the male, and the slow process
of egg laying is avoided, as the young
which are produced during the summer
are Matched within the mother. The
process of throwing off these summer
broods continues until fall, when n
brood of true males and females Is pro
duced, from which comes the stock OK
eggs for the next seasons supply.
Remedies: The many inquiries re-

veloped the fact that people are NOT
generally acquainted with the man
ner in which it takes it's food. Like
all members of this family, instead OF
having we'll developed jaws for biting
and chewing, its mouth parts are de-
veloped into a beak, which is adapted
for sucking. 1t will be seen therefore
that the arsenites will have but little
value in fighting this pest, as 1t takes
its food from the inner tissues OF tina
plant. 1t will therefore be necessary
to apply some substance which kills by
contact: and the kerosene emulsion ~
as effective as any substance which
can be used. This is made by dtssosv-
ing one-half pound Of hard soap in enc
gallon of hot water, after which acc

means of a spraying pump, until 1t be-
comes a thick creamy mass. Dilute
this with ten times its bulk OF water be-
fore applying 1t to the trees.
These insects also have their natural
enemies, which aid very materially IN
their destruction. Among these are tina
several species of Lady-bird beetles,
which are unusually plentiful this sen
son. They should not be destroyed, as
they are among the horticulturists' bes1
| friends.

A DWARF'S QUEER RUSE.
Had Himself shipped In a Box in Order
to Best the Railway.

Four or five years ago one OF the most
celebrated of European prodigies was
the Polish dwarf. Herman Zeitung, at
one time one of the chief attractions at
the Folies Bergere. Latterly Zeitung
has been little in the public eye. or
rather was until the other day, when he
started In to carry out an interesting
exploit which very nearly succeeded He
had himself fastened up in a box adj
dressed to a large importing house at
Madrid and labelled Fragile. With
Care. Top" Holes had been made in
this box for breathing purposes. and
one OF its sides was so constructed that
ii could be opened from within to give
the little dwarf a way of getting out
unnoticed when he reached his destina-
ton. The box was fitted up with a
cusf Toned seat, and an abundant sup
Fly of provisions was placed within it.
The start was made at Vienna, where
Zeitung had been living for some time.
and after the dwarf had placed himself
inside and fastened himself in two lusty
rortere corried Tim off to the station.
avirg leon paid beforehand a fee Of
80 cents each. They gave the box in
arCe to the station master to be
shipped to Madrid by express. Accord
ing to Zeitung the journey was an un-
interesting one and without incident.
but when he got to the Spanish capital
his troubles BEGAN. The Madrid sta
ton master evidently had poor knowl-
edge as to tile fragility of glass, for he
turned the box over and over, and
at last came 10 the conclusion that it's
contents ought to be investigated. His
aides therefore opened it, and dragged
the dwarf out more dead than alive
from the shaking he had received. 1T
would have puzzled a man less full Of
expedients hcw to further punish lei
tLng. but the station master solved the
problem by having him arrested for
Il ling to swindle the railroad compan-
iCs out of their fares. The dwarf's de-
Tense was that he was travelling in this
manner on a bet of 5000 francs, the
ter-,-e of the wager being that he was to
get to Madrid without a cent in his
pocket. Three hundred francs, how
ever, were found concealed in his shoes.
= zeal reason of his travelling in this
remarkable manner was that he might
save railroad fare and also get a good
advertisement for the engagement in
,Iadrid, for which he was billed.
