We must bear in mind that we can
hardly ever get completely rid OF this
pest where IT has once got foothold,
and every device that will destroy
them in one state of development must
be used for all that it is worth. By
thorough, conscientious work only can
we expect to escape the ravages OF this
insect. Everyone interested should

Our horticultural interests are growing
every year and people will find out bye
and bye that prevention is better and
cheaper than cure. As stated before
Paris green is most generally used IN
spraying against this insect The
other arsenites are sometimes used. but
it is easier to test the purity OF Paris
green than other poisons. and tits not
so liable to injure the foliage. To test
Paris green for it's purity, put some OF
it into little ammonia. If it dissolyes'

do not know through how many
generations the codlln moth passes in
this county. In New York there is
one full brood, while in Nebraska there
are two full broods and partial third
one, with sometimes even fourth
generation in one summer. | am
quite certain that there are at least
two broods in this county as I have
seen evidence of their presence on ap-
pies in late summer, which could not
possibly have been the first genera
tion.
OF course we cannot expect to reach
the later broods with the spraying in
the early spring. BY placing paper
bands around the trees, about the
middle of June, the majority of the
worms which escape the poison will
be induced to spin their cocoons under
these bands, and can then be easily
destroyed. These bands should be
examined every ten days until the
latter part OF August and the coo oons
destroyed. This frequent examination
is necessary as otherwise the pupa
would change to moths and the bands
would be more than uneless. After
the latter part of August the worms
do not change to pupa, but stay as the
former in the cocoons, until next
spring, when the complete transform
alton takes place. The bands can be
left on the trees and destroyed some
time during winter. When applying
these bands it is advisable to scraEe
the rough bark off, place,o band just
below the the first limbs and one few
inches from the ground, thus catching
the worms that crawl from the apples
down the tree, and also those that
come from the wiDdfalls. In passing
I will say that the windfalls should be
picked up every other day and used
or destroyed. By placing screens over
the doors and windows of storage
rooms where infested apples have been
stored, thus keeping the moths that
have emerged from laying eggs on the
fruit, you will also help to decrease
their number to considerable extent.

Foreign Press on Alger.

London. July 20.-The Standard
in an editorial regarding the resig-
nation of Secretary Alger, says:
President Mckinley's prompt
acceptance of Mr. Alger's resigna-
ton is equivalent to an admission
that the war department has been
badly managed. 1t is significant
that the resignation followed so
quickly on the Manila correspcn-
dents round robin.
'Alser is the great blot on the
administration. 1t has given the
enemies of the imrerialist policy
the most effective weapon that
could have been forged, and Presi-
dent Mckinley can wrest it from
them only by the appointment of
successor whose past commands
confidence.
The Times describes the resigna
ton as a decided victory for pub
lie opinion and public morals over
political organizations"
The papers generally regard the
resignation as a prelude to a Wig
orous policy in the Philippines and
the recall of Gen. Otis.
