This new departure is in a measure graf =
ifying, because it simpiiiies things won
derruIly. 1t is a return, as 1t WERE to
first principles. By common consent the
devil has been held responsible for every :
thing bad in this world OF ours, and though
in Justice may have been done him at times,
and he unfairly accused, he has never been
judjciaIly accepted as mitigating circuih :
stance ON the contrary, the more lie mas
been shown, or believed, to have hah his

been the retributory justice OF Use courts
AGAINST those who listened to his inspira :

leaf-hopper is a very difficult prob
lem. The best chances of relief will
come from taking advantage Of its
alternating habit and collecting and
burning all fallen leaves and any sim
liar material about the vineyards
which would furnish it winter quar-
ters. This will be effective in pro-
portion to the thorOughness with
which it is carried out, and the treat
ment must be extended over a con-
siderable area to give relief. In this
connection it must be remembered
that the leaf-hOppers coming from
wild grapes or from nearby vine
yards are particularly apt to hibern-
ate IN woods, returning to the vine.
yards in the spring.
Direct measures against this insect
consist in spraying with kerosene e.
mulsiOn or the use of tarred or kerO-
sene shields. The great activity of
the insect makes spraying under or
dinary circumstances with caustiC
washes rather ineffective, but if the
application be made IN the early
morning or late evening, especially
if cold or moist day be chosen
when the insects are somewhat tor
pid, considerable benefit will result
The emulsion should diluted with
nine parts water. Applied under thu
circumstances described, a great man
y of the leaf-hoppers will be we
with the emulsion or will fly back t.
the leaves and get it on their bodie
before it will have evapOrated. A
frame with cloth stretched over
add saturated with kerosene or dilu
ted tar may be carried along betwee
the vine rows, the vines being agita
ted at the same time The insect
will fly up, and all of those striFin
against the screen will either adher
to the tar or get wet with the kerc
sene and perish. The shield methO
to be effective must be continued eN
!. cry day until relief is gained.

GRAPE ENEMIES.
THE GRAPE LEAF-HOPPER.

increasing amount, the leaves OF
are effected by little jump
ing insect commonly known as the
thrips, or leaf-hopper, which works
in enormous numbers on tho under
side of leaves, causing them to ap- |
pear blotched and scorched or COW
cred with little yellowish or brOwnish |
patches, and eventually dry up, curl,
and fall. This insect occurs with
great regularity wherever the vine is
cultivated, and yet so gradually Is
the damage done that, nOtwithstand-
ing the great annual loss that must
result to grape growers from this III
sect, no particular effort is ordinarily
made to remedy the evil.
The insect is very minute insect,
not exceeding one-eighth of an inch
length, and has peculiar habit OF
running sidewise when disturbed,
like crab, and dodging from one
of the leaf to the other. 1t jumps
vigorously, like flea, but also takes
flight, rising in swarms when the
vines are shaken. If examined with
out being too much disturbed, they
will be noticed thickly clustered over
the undersurface of the leaves, buslly
engaged in sucking the juices OF the
lplant.
Under lens they will be found
to vary considerably in color, and, in
fact they are supposed to represent a
large number of distinct species, all
closely allied, however, and possess
ing identical habits The prevailing
color is light yeIlowish green, with
the back and wings variously Orna-
mented with red, yellow and brown
In the fall they become much darker
though retaining the wing patterns
In any vineyard usually one-hali
dozen or more color species will oc'
| cur together, one or two of which
will predominant, while only a
few miles distant some other torm'
l will be the common ones. The IN
sects begin to come on the vines IL
