MALE AND FEMALE COOLING MOTH

"The work of the fruit inspectors is a
very necessary one" said Mr.. Edwards,
who was seen at his office at No. 10 West
Granite street. 1T is the only protection
Montana orchards have against insects
and pests and it must be kept up. The
history Of the codling moth is an inter-
esting one and fruit growers should be
informed concerning this pest"
For more than a century the cooling
moth has preyed upon the fruit inter-
ests of the orchardists Of America. In
fact, it is one of the most serious draw
backs to the profitable growing of APP
pies. It is estimated that from one
fourth to one-half of the apple crop in
the United States is ruined annually
through the ravages of this insect.
Zone would have to go back a long way
to find the origin of the codling moth.
1t is said that Cato speaks of "wormy
apples" in his treaties on agriculture,
written nearly 200 years before the
Christian era. But the average fruit
grower cares not for the ancient history
O. this pest; he wants to know some
thing of it as it is found today, and his
efforts are directed to learn all he can
concerning it and thus be capable to
combat it should occasion require.
It's Life History.
"The parent insect is a small, chOco-
late brown moth, scarcely half an inch
long, which appears among the trees In
spring about the time the apples are
forming from the blossom. In the cav
:ty at the upper end of the unripe fruit,
the female moth deposits an egg. In a
short time this egg matches into
small, whitish worm, which nibbles at
the skin of the young fruit, finally bit
Ing through and eating it's way to the
core. Here it continues feeding as the
apple develops, gradually increasing in
size until at the end Of three or four
weeks it is about three-fourths of an
inch in length.
Finishing it's caterpillar growth, it
leaves the apple and seeks some crevice
in the bark of the trees or in crevices of
boxes or barrels, where it spins a silken
cocoon, in which it changes to the pupa
state.
1.-TWO or three weeks after the cocoon
was made, the insect comes out moth,
like the one which laid the egg in the
blossom end of the young apple.
How It Spreads.
ut was probably introduced into the
United States from Europe in packages
cotaining apples or pears When it was
introduced is hard to say. 1t is now
recognized as a pest in nearly every
section of the United States. The chief
manner in which it is carried is in apple
boxes anu barrels Fruit packed in
moth infested districts is bound to con-
tain the insect. 1t is developed while in
transit, and is thus carried to regions
which may have been entirely free.
Once it secures a foothold, it Is hard to
eradicate.
Loss in Dollars.
1.-The annual loss due to this insect in
the state of Illinois alone is placed at
$2,375.OOO. In 1892 it is said to have
caused loss to Nebraska Of $4,000, 900,
and New York state pays tribute to the
extent of 100000. These are among
the chief apple growing states, which

have taken up systematically the study
Of the insect and means of checking it's
ravages. But other states raise im@
mense quantities of apples and the total
annual loss in the United States might
not fall short Of $50, 100000. The orchards
of Montana are as yet comparatively
free.
"The department of agriculture has

methods of saving this immense sum to
the orchardists Of the country, and it's
work has been highly gratifying.

cannot bring him a profit. The cost Of
packing and all other expense connected
with placing fruit upon the market is
the same for diseased as for sound fruit.
With proper care the fruit growers Of
any district can reduce the losses from
this pest to a very small percentage and
through the efforts of inspectors in the
various cities of the United States to
keep out the codling moth, the growers
who are too negligent to do so will be
compelled to battle with it or go out Of

Montana Orchards Are Comparatively
Free From the Pest so Far-For
More Than Century the orchar-
dists Of America Have Fought
the Battle Montana Fruit

c. H. Edwards, secretary of the Board
of Horticulture for the state of Mon
tana and inspector for the Butte dis
trict, has been busy during the past week
looking after fruit shipments in the local
markets. He has destroyed by burning
about 100 crates of fruit that were taint-
ell with the codling moth and other fruit
pests.
A reporter for the Inter Mountain
called upon Mr.. Edwards this forenoon
and interviewed the state official with
reference to his duties as guardian Of
Montana orchards.

The Telluride Journal believes
there is a mongrel element in the
Colorado Press. Editor Currie be
lieves this because; the state press
very generally refused to advertise
the Denver festival. He also thinks
local merchants are selfish. The
Journal in writing such rot was
pulling for sop from the Denver
press. If there is a class Of mer>
chants to be found anywhere in the
state more selfish than Dcnver's
contingent, we will "have to be
shown" Anyhow the Journal is
not of such an ideally high class
that its editor can throw stones.
1t has always held higher opinion
OF its editorial staff, than found else
where. "Mongrels" there may be
but the Journals editor has no
license to call them such, upon such
flimsy pretext, as opposition to
Denver's show.

So much blood and thunder stuff

So much blood and thunder stuff
has been written about western
sheriffs. that even our own people
believe a man must be harnessed
with belts and guns, to make him
brave. The truth is that the ideal
officer of the law is exactly the op-
posite of the blood and thunder
variety. Charlie Wallis is among
the best representatives Of the really
brave and capable western sheriffs.
He has always performed the duties
of his office thoroughly and well.
He makes few bluffs, but generally
lands his man. If he can coax a
brute along, intead of beating with
a revolver he does SO. If moral
suasion will abate an evil more
quickly than brute force, he uses
it. If necessity arises he can battle
with the best. Sheriff Wallis is
usually found right. He is cool
and collected and he neither per-
mits the frenzy Of the passionate or
the cool calculations of the inter
ested, to swerve him from the path
Of duty.

Providence Correspondence of the
Boston journal: Mrs. Claus Peterson,
resident of South Auburn, had .
thrilling encounter with a big rattle
snake today, and the ever handy ket-
tie Of hot water undoubtedly saved her
life. As she stood in her cellar kitchen
near the cook stove. she was startled
to hear rafting noise, the like of
which she had never heard before. She
was charmed at first and then terrified
at the long reptile which was winding
its way down the cellar stairs. When
she recovered from her fright some
what she started toward the snake
with a rolling pin, and it curled into
an ominous coil. Then its rattle rang
out furiously and she retreated to the
stove. and seizing a kettle of hot wa
ter threw 1t on the snake. The reptile
writhed and soon died. Some time
afterward Mrs. Peterson went into the
yard and found her COW dead killed by
the snake.

Because the News editor did not

Because the News editor did not
see the plans for the new depot, he
yawps like a sick cat. For his in
formation, we can say that the
blue prints exist, that they were in
the city at the time The Sentinel
said they were and that there is
every promise that the depot will
be built. The Sentinel doesn't get
faint hearted if things don't come
running on the jump. The sugar
factory came, as we all along be-
lieved it W ould, and when the News
was skeptical over its building The
system Of sewerage, which former
daily contemporary played the
"knocker" act against is fact and
even the new hotel is about to be
built. The files of this paper show
that at all seasons, The Sentinel
was found working away to secure
these public benefits. 1t will in the
future, as in the past keep working
for greater benfts. If the News
editor will wait just little longer
he will see the depot built, which
may cause him to stop his nasty
little filings, and make him les,
grumpy and push lis face around
to the fair weather side of life.

The steel engraved plate from which
mas been printed every commission to
naval officers for the last fifty or sixty
years has seen its last service, having
become too much worn for further use,
and will now be laid away with the
sacred relics of the navy department.
1t has been noticed for some time that
the commissions printed from this
plate were becoming less clear cut, and
when Capt. Sigsbee received his last
commission his comment on the sub
ject to Secretary Long induced that Of
fetal to take up again the matter for
consideration. After lengthy discus
sion Secretary Long sent for the Of
fcials of the bureau of engraving and
instructed them to take a copy of the
old plate as nearly as the rules of that
bureau in reference to counterfeiting
would permit. The engravers wished
to change the plate by putting new and
improved guns in place of the old
Long Tom" in vogue in 1S30-40, and
the new warships for the old sailing
vessels, but to this neither Secretary
Long nor his assistants would agree.
They wished to preserve the style of
engraving OF the period in which it
was made, and retain all the old ear
marks of hat date. AS the matter
now stands the new plate will be an
exact reproduction. save for some slight
changes of shading and so on. The
old plate was made by the American
Bank Note Company in New York in
1880 or 1910, and is considered one of
the finest and most artistic pieces of
engraving belonging to the govern
ment. Having seen service for the he
roes of both the Civil and Spanish
American wars, as we'll as other men
of long and faithful service, it is re-
garded with reverence by the navy de-
partment. The eagle at the top of the
commission has a lean and hungry
look, and not the appearance of being
a near relative even of the well-fed.
pompous-looking bird hat adorns the
bank notes and government docu-
ments of today. The flags, guns, boats
and other naval equipments are all
typical of the period of the navy sixty
years ago, while the figures of Nep-
tune and Nereid, blowing the waves
with their star horses, beautifully con
ceived and executed, make it one of
the most elaborate and imposing docu-
ments of the government.-Washing-

The young men who have been sc.
lected to be examined for transfer from
the volunteers to the regular estab-
lishment, as well as those candidates
who receive appointments from civil
life, are coming against a pretty severe
examination whenever they are sub
iected to the prescribed tests. says the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Times. These young men must
first show that their military record,
if they have one, is good; that is of
the first consideration. If in this the
men can pass muster, is "all right" in
mathematics, and makes a decent av-
erage in army and drill regulations, he
may depend upon getting his commits
sion. Then there is a very rigorous
physical examination, as thorough and
exacting as that to which recruits are
subjected. The examination to ascer-
tain the educational qualifications of
the candidate include English gram
mar, mathematics with algebra. the
solution of equations of the first de-
gree containing one unknown guam
tity; the use of logarithms, the ele-
ments of plane geometry, plane trig-
onometry and surveying. Added to
this the candidate must tell what he
knows in answer to questions in geo.
graphy, outlines Of general history and
history of the United States. the con-
stitution and the elements OF inter.
national law. Physical aptitude and
moral character are considered. No
candidate will be passed who shall not
have attained an average OF 65 per
cent in each subject of examination,
and a general average of at least 20
per cent.

During the last century the art of
war has shared in all improvements.
But improvements in the art of war
have not reduced the cost to those in
dulging in it; they have rather in
creased it. This fact, though, has not
lessened the number OF wars in the
nineteenth century. No other ten de-
cades of history cover so many great
conflicts. Recall the Napoleonic wars
of the early part of the century; the
Crimean war in the middle, our own
great Civil war, the Franco-Prussla
war, the Tureo-Russian war, the
Chino-Japanese war; and then read
the names of some of the "little wars:
The long Algerian war, the civil war
in Spain and Portugal, our war with
Mexico, Great Britain's wars with
China and with the tribesmen and hill
men that Kipling tells OF, the Spanish
American war only three years ago;
Italy's war in Abssinia. Think of the
Seminole war, and the yearly conflicts
with the Indians. There is no doubt
of the century having been war-liSe,
and its total cost is very close to $780,
900, O00, 900. Just how much is a bill
lion? 1t is one thousand millions; but
that fact is not expressive. There are
only 1856, 673. 500 seconds in a century
that is, six dollars have been spent
on war for every second of the CEN
fury. If We take Archbishop Usher's
chronology, and consider the world to
be 1904 years old, we find that the ma
lions have spent on wal during the
nineteenth century at the rate of six
dollars a minute since the creation.
The most costly building in the world
is the Church of San Pietro in Vati-
cano, known to us as st. Peters. Rome
1t has cost not less than $40, ZOO, 600
since its foundation stone was laid, yet
nearly three hundred other churches
of equal cost could DE built out of
what thu VIC Id has spcnt on wars dur
