Here is a fact. AS long as the steel rail
trust held together the lowest price for

the price of steel rails dropped to $17 per
ton. AT the reduced price the Carnegie

HOW INSECTS BREATHE.
1t is Necessary for the Horticuiturist to
Know How to Combat Them.

1t is Necessary for the Horticuiturist to
Know How to Combat Them.
A knowledge of how insects breathe
and feed Is necessary to the horticul-
turist in devising methods to combat
them. They do not breathe by means
Of lungs as do the higher order of ami
mails. but through minute openings
called spiracies. that are scattered over
various parts of the body. From these
openings there run minute tubes that
carry the air inside to the blood. Not
only in the manner In which they take
air different. but the substances they
breathe may affect them readily when
they would not affect animals having
lungs. 1t 10 for this reason that py-
rethrum or insect powder so readily af-
fects insects, while they are perfectly
harmless to man. 1t is not the dust
that affects the insect, but some prin-
ciple in the oil that probably attacks
the nervous system, as II throws the
insects into spasms as soon as 1t is
breathed. Hellebore affects insects in
the same way, although not so severe
ly.
Insects secure their food either by
chewing or sucking. Those that chew
their food do so in very much the same
way that man does, except that their
jaws move sideways instead of UP and
down. The greater number of insects
belong to the chewing class. The cat
terpillars are of this class as well as all
beetles and the curculio, and, also,
grasshoppers, lCcusts and crickets. For
these chewing insects, poison is en-
pioyed, placing II on the parts of the
plant on which they feed. They then
soon eat enough to kill them. OF the
poisOps the arsenites are best when
ever they can be applied without dan
wer to man. Hellebore is also used,
but it is milder in It's effects than the |
