THE OUNCE OF PREVENTION


The Experiment station Tells What to DO
for Forest Worms.
Naturalist G.. II. Perkins of the state
experiment station at Burlington gives
the following suggestions for overcom-
ing the tent caterpillar, or forest worm,
nuisance. 1T is not too early for prepar-
alton, for as he says. prevention is easier
than remedy. Bulletin No. 60 says:
1t ia very often true that the best
remedy which can be used against in
furious insects is prevention, and this is
emphatcally so in the present case.
Prevention, however, is not always pos
sble and remedies must be used. After
the caterpillars have become established
in a grove or orchard it is not easy to
dislodge them, but something may be
done to check their ravages. If, as may
very likely occur, they gather in clusters
on the trunk they may be crushed, and
this should be done promptly, for the
opportunity may not come again. The
clusters are most commonly formed in
early morning or at dusk. a much less
efficient method but one which may be
at the time the best which can be follow

branches on which the worms are
located. As they let themselves down
by the thread they spin, they can be
gathered in pan of kerosene by sweep
ing a twig back and forth under the
branch. Spraying the trees with paris
green or other arsente will sometimes
be found an efiectual and convenient
remedy. On the whole, however, pre-
vention by destruction of the egg clus-
teIs is better than any remedy. If the
trees are carefully examined during the
fall or winter, the egg clusters may
readily be seen and can be removed by
cutting of the twigs on which they have
been formed. Every egg mass obtained
lessons the number of caterpllars like w
to appear in the spring by about 400.
Unless an orchard is infested by migra-
ton from adjoining trees. this plan
thoroughly carried out will prevent
further damage. If there is either an
orchard or grove of naples or oaks near
by, it viii! be well to keep a sharp look
out during May and June for migration.
Damage from this source may often be
checked if not prevented by placing
bands of well tarred paper, burlap, or
any convenient cloth about the trunks
of unattached trees.

Admiral MontiiJ and Gen. Toral are
parts they took in the Spanish war. It's

to punish them for not taking the licking.

STILL ANOTHER PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
There is another chapter in the Philip
pine enterprise, says the Springfield Re.
publican, which the official records dis
close. 1t has already been shown In
these columns that the three consuls at
Manila, Hong Kong and Singapore, with
Commodore Dewey, expected before the
naval battle of Cavte that a land cam
paign and military conquest would fol-
low the elimination of the Spanish fleet.
The administration Itself had every
reason to anticipate the course of events,
although the attention of the American
people was fixed upon Cuba. 1t is
absurd to suppose that the United States
government was overcome with surprise
at what happened.
After the three American cOnsuls had
been allowed to work up the new Aguin-
aldo movement without check from
Washington; after Manila had fallen.
very largely through the active aid of
the FillpinOs whom Consul Williams
believes TO have been our "allies"; after
those events, in short, which the gov
eminent had brought about, the time
came when the United States had to
decide what it would write into the
treaty with Spain concerning the archl-
pelago. The testimony of the best OBJ
servers before the Paris commission as
to the disposition of the islands did not

policy that was adopted. In his mem
