might be ensnared by colored lights.
The fact that in the daytime certain
colors are irresistible attractions to
various kinds of insects has suggested
to the investigator that if scientists
could determine just what color scheme
would serve as a lure at night, many
pests now able to Withstand the temp
tation of common flame might fall a
prey to the trap.
Any project that will give support to
the trap-lantern method of extermina-
ton will be welcomed by horticulture
lists, who, noting the enormous num-
bers of insects lured to their death
every night, confidently hope that fu-
ture scientific progress will make it
possible to mete out more extended
execution to the noxious species that
have levied on their crops. For the
purpose of widening knowledge on the
subject, entomologists and horticul-
turists will keep their trap-lanterns
burning throughout the United States.
The work of securing complete data
on the subject is necessarily slow, re-
curing an infinite amount of detailed
research in identifying specimens

hensive task that some of the stations
announce that it has been the most

of insects hurting themselves into the
traps.

Right here is an opportunity for
ou1 farmers and manufacturers to add
to their annual income. The farmers
should raise the goats, whose skins
the manufacturers will speedily fash
ion into several desired utilities. AT
present our farmers are apparently
not making any effort to fill this want
and reap the harvest. In this line is
just $25,OOO,O0O to divide annually be-
tween our farmers and our manufac-
turers.
The census of 1900 showed only q
100000 goats in the United States
while it took 100000 goats to fur

THE HORSE BOOK.

The Special Report on Diseases of
the Horse has been revised under
joint resolution of the Fifty-seventh
soon be issued. This report was pre-
pared under the direction of the Blu
reau of Animal Industry of the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
was first issued in 1890 and the limited
edition that the department was able
TIC publish was soon exhausted. The
demand was then turned on congress,
and that body has from time to time
ordered reprints for distribution by it's
own members exclusively, until the
number already issued has reached
nearly half million copies.
The resolution under which the pres
ent revision was made provides for the
printing and binding in cloth of 100000
copies, the same to be first revised and
brought up to date under the super
vision of the Secretary OF Agriculture;
$4,000 copies for the use of the House
of Representatives, $4,000 copies for
the use of the Senate, and 5000 copies
for the use of the Department of Agri-
culture The allotment to the depart
ment is so small that it will have
none for general distribution, and those
who may desire copies of the report
should apply to members of the last
congress (the 57th) to whom all copies
Of the congressional allotment will be
delivered.
New members of the present con-
gress will not be entitled to a quota.
The report has been carefully re-
vised either by the authors of the sew
eral articles or by veterinarians OF
wide reputation. An entire new arti-
Gle on "The Examination of Horse"
by DR.. Leonard Pearson, state veteri-
marian of Pennsylvania, is included;
also a chapter on shoeing, written by

tive Organs, and Wounds and their

THE AMERICAN GOAT.

Editor The Ranch: Those who
think that the United States is at the
end of it's tether in the way of new
industries are very much mistaken.
New lines of production and manufac-
ture are continually springing up. We
are a diversified people, with diversi-
fed wants, diversified resources and
diversified methods of using the re-
sources we have, and of getting those
we have not, but need.
For instance, our consumption OF
kid leather for footwear and gloves
has increased very largely. This
shows itself in the increased impor
tation of goat skins. According to the
Bureau of Statistics of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, this line
of importation shows the following to-

slaughter of pests. While the results
as to. the kind of species caught have
been a constant source of surprise,
there is no question that the possible
insect mortality by this method is very
great. In cotton field in Texas, three
trap-lanterns in a single night de-
stroyed 24,490 insects, representing
nearly 400 species. In this big capture
the injurious kind outnumbered slight
ly the beneficial.
The wide variety of results, so far
as numbers are concerned, will be
readily seen when it is stated that in
a trap-lantern run steadily every night
in New York state for nearly half a
year, only one and one-half times as
many insects were captured as were
taken in one of these lanterns operated
for a single night in Texas. In many
orchards, trap-lanterns set a few rods
apart attracted altogether different sets
of species.
The student of entomology who
wishes to secure without delay large
collection of insects can achieve that
end by establishing trap-lantern. In
many of the scientific experiments an
ordinary lantern was fastened to a
brick set in common milk pan. This
was nearly filled with water, over
which was poured little kerosene.
The whole continuance was set on the
top of a post about four feet high.
In this oily moat around the brick
pedestal of the lantern the insects
met their Death in vast numbers.
During the past several years enough
Information has been definitely OBJ
tanned to guide investigator as to the
best time for catching various species.
Many insects awning throughout sea-
son will for months resist the entice-
ments of the flame only to rush in an
other period to destruction. For ex-
ample, the apple tent-caterpillar moth
(Clisiocampa americana) was lured
only from June Is to July Is. At all
other periods the lantern burned for
this pest in vain. 1t was only in Au-
gust that the garden webb-wOrm
(Loxostege sticticalis) was found to be
susceptible to the allurement. The
garden crambus (Crambus hortuellus)
was enticed only in July, while the
vagabond crambus (Crambus vulgiva-
gellus) was tempted only from August
Is to September Is. Two of the cut
worm moths (Feltis venerabilis and
gladiaria) were attracted only in Sep
TENDER.
1t is obvious that facts like these
will be of great practical assistance to
scientific students seeking to collect
insects in numbers.
Of all pests the codling moth Gear
pocapsa pomenella) has displayed the
greatest caution in stunning the traps.
For one hundred nights Prof. Stedman
kept a lantern burning in an apple
orchard infested with these insects.
The trees were blooming when he first
lighted his lantern and his experiment
continued throughout the active sea-
son of the pest, but he succeeded in
catching out of the thousands in the
orchard only two individuals. Prof
Garman of the Kentucky experiment
station and Prof. Troop of the Indiana
