caused so marked a rise of the two
most prominent forms we cannot say
definitely; but in one case at least it
was not entirely unexpected. The
insect that attn acted most attention
was the fall web-worm, so called be-
cause IT becomes most abundant after
mid summer, and because it lives in
colonies in a web or tent of silk
spun for protection or shelter.
The parent of these worms" is
white moth or miller that makes it's
first appearance early in spring, in
small numbers 1t is really snow
white, expect that the fore wings may
be marked with black dots and when
the wings are spread out it measures
about one and a half inches from
tip to tip. This moth lays all it's yell
low eggs in one batch on the under
side of leaf and covers them over
with some white scales from it's body
that they may not be so conspicuous.
On the under side of fuzzy apple
leaf they are readily overlooked. If
the mother has been undisturbed in
laying her eggs there will be nearly
200 of them, and when they hatch,
the little caterpillars at once begin to
feed on the leaf on which they were
born. This serves them only for "a
few hours, for they eat only one sur
face and then move to the next leaf,
spinning as they go a fine web over
the surface of the eaten leaves. As
they increase in size they enlarge
their web, it's extent depending on the

avenue, being president of the Upton
Company.
The wagon has a radius of 1876
miles, with speed limit ranging
from eight to twenty miles per hour,
weighs 800 and is guaranteed
to carry 800 pounds. 1t is lighted
with acetelene gas, carrying two
large head lights. Three styles will
be manufactured, namely the Trans
portation Wagon for carrying mails
from depot to post office; the Rural
Wagon for use in the country and
propelled by horse power and the
Suburban Wagon, of which the one
just completed is sample. The
prices OF the vehicles range from $3.50
to $780, All the iron and wood work
together with the painting was done
by local mechanics Joseph Nally,
in whose barn on James street the
vehicle was constructed, had charge
of the two former and Herman Car
dell the latter.
Mr.. DeGroot claims that with
driver he can do the work of three
carriers and consequently Postmaster
Clarke will set day for test in de-
livering local mail Monday Mr.. De-
Groot in company with Lynn Thomp-
son, who has an equal share in the
wagon, will leave for tour through
Madison, Chatham, Summit. Bernards-
vile, Basking Ridge and Mendham.
At each place the public will be in
vited to inspect the wagon and later
tour will be made throughout the
State.

Cadets to Camp.

Considerable local interest will no
doubt be centred III Morristown from
July goth to Aug. End, when the
Cadet Battalion from St. Marks
Church, New York, will spend a
week in camp at the Spingler Home
near Monroe.
Preparations are being made for
practical military instructions in the
school of the soldier, guard duty and
skirmish drill. The boys will live
in barracks during their temporary
stay, and each afternoon during the
week a dress parade will be held at
sundown. The daily military routine
will be thorough and efficient but it
will not be all work and no play I;
and each cadet expects to return with
many pleasant recollections of the
summer camp,
The Commandant is Capt. H. L.
Butler, and under his management
also a base ball nine has been formed.
They would like to arrange games
during that week with nearby teams
of fifteen years average age.
Communications will be received
by Capt H. l.. Butler, Manager, 1S9
West 93ri street, New York City.

trouble with caterpillars,. | notice
that in my work webs have already
been formed on fruit and foliage
trees. No doubt spraying is the best
preventative but it is expensive and
it is not always easy to get the ap-
paratus with which to do the work
thoroughly The webs or nests gen
orally appear near the end of small
twigs and L have found in my work
the best thing to do is to cut them off
and burn. Where the branches are
not easy to get at shears with spring
attachment fastened to a long pole
can be used. They are not expensive
and can be operated from the ground
with string. I would advise all
persons who would assist in stopping
this course, for such it is, to make
thorough examination of their trees
and adopt one of the courses | have
mentioned.
During the season of 1901 there was
an unusual increase in the number
of caterpillars attacking fruit and
shade trees throughout the State
Just what combination of conditions

picked off from one to half dozen

l picked off from one to half dozen
young colonies daily from every tree
until 1 got tired and sprayed every
thing with arsenate of lead. This
settled matters and as fast as the
little caterpillars Matched they were
killed off. Elsewhere the webs of the
second brood developed rapidly until
entire trees were covered.
In September these caterpillars be-
came full grown, wandered off to find
a place to pupate, and there they
now are, waiting for spring to COM
plete the change into moths or
milIers.
Will they be as bad next year, and
if so, what can we do to destroy
them? Probably they will not be
nearly so numerous, because many of
the late brood this season were killed
off by an epidemic disease, and many
others were parasitized. 1t is
always the history of these native
pests that when they get loose" 50
to speak, for a year or two, their
natural enemies increase in equal
proportion and pull them back to
harmless numbers. 1 believe that
this year was the limit Of present
increase but l may be in error, and
if so, next season will be worse than
the present The question of reme-

dies is therefore in order.
These are, burning out the nests as
fast as they are noticed-a campaign
torch is excellent for the purpose-or
spraying with some arsenlcal poison.
The burning answers awell for a
few nests on medium sized trees /;
but is not satisfactory when orchard
or shade trees in any number or of
any size are to be treated Burning
also, if carelessly done scorches con-
siderable foliage and kills twigs. so
when there are many nests, the
remedy may be nearly as bad as the
disease. Prompt spraying with
paris green, green arsenoid or arsen-
ate of lead will be absolutely effect
i've, and will kill off the colonies in
short order. AS in all similar cases,
the man who watches closely will be
most successful and spraying should
be done just as soon as the young
nests are noticed. If paris green
or green arsenoid is used the strength
may be lb. in 100 gallons of
water. If the arsenate of lead is
preferred it should be lb. in so gal
Ions of water. In the orchard and
for shade trees the paris green and
green arsenoid are best; in the gar
den and on choice fruits, shrubs or
ornamental plants, arsenate of lead
is better.

are full grown they leave the web

corner or crevice in or under the
bark of a tree or on some fence or
building near by There small
cocoon or silken cover is spun and
the caterpillar changes to pupa In
this stage it remains few days only

are not usually abundant enough to
attract much attention and the few
that are noticed are generally left
undisturbed.

LICENSE REFUSED.
For the Farmers Hotel by the Excise
Board Wednesday Evening.

DOar0 wednesday Evening.
A brisk meeting of the Board of
Excise Commissioners was held We'd
nesday evening when the final appll-
cation of James Sisser to run the
Farmers Hotel on Market street
which he recently purchased from
Samuel Jones was refused. At the
last meeting remonstrance was
presented against granting the appli-
cation and another Wednesday night
was read. After several letters had
been received from residents of
Somerset County testifyipg to Mr..
Sisser's good character, the Board
settled down to hear the arguments of
both sides. Sup. Ironside, of the
Market Street Mission, proved the
most influential and convincing
speaker of the evening. His argu-
ments for the remonstrants were to
the point each time and could not be
picked apart. Lawyer George G.
Runyon appeared for Mr.. Sisser.
Mr.. Runyon stated that an old estab-
lished place such as the Farmer S
Hotel, to be conducted in an orderly
manner, should in his opinion be
granted license.
Further discussion was INDUCED in
and when the roll was finally called
each member voted in the negative.
A renewal of the wholesale license
of Alexander Bennell & Co. No. 5
South street was granted.
