THE COOLING MOTH.


Some of Its Aspects In the West.
Fighting the Second brood.
If injurious insects were classified
according to the monetary loss caused
by them the codling moth would I'M
doubtedly rank first among those in
furious to fruits. 1t has been estimated
that from one-fourth to one-half of the
apple crop of the United States is Ell
Their totally ruined or materially in
jured by it.
In many newly settled districts of the
west this insect has not yet made its
appearance. By keeping all used apple
boxes and infested fruit out Of the dis
trict it may be long time before the
insect obtains a foothold. If it is pres
ent in small numbers 1t may be practi-
cally exterminated by strenuous APP
plication of the measures of control
The most important consideration in
spraying is the time of the application.
This should depend upon the stage of
the insect. as the greatest efficiency is
obtained by spraying Just when the
larvae are entering the fruit or imme-
diately before. The sprayings may be
designated as "early" and late" The
early sprayings are directed against the
first generation of the codling moth.
Two of these sprayings are advised
one few days after the blossoms have
fallen and before the calyx closes, and
the other two weeks to a month later
when the larvae are entering the fruit.
In cases of bad infestation another
spraying may be added. In the west
the evidence goes to show that the
spraying Immediately after the bios
SONS fall is not so effective as in the
east. Some are of the opinion that it
should be dispensed with but the
writer does not think the evidence at
hand fully justifies discouraging this
spray in the west.
The later sprayings are directed
against the larvae of the second genera
ton when they are entering the fruit.
The time this generation enters the
fruit varies with the locality and with
the seasons in the same locality, but it
is easily found by watching the fruit
for the first new entrance holes. or
spraying may be begun about twenty
one days after the date when the lar
gest number of larvae Of the first gen.
GRAFTON spin their cocoons. The larvae
of the second generation usually begin
to enter the last week in July and the
majority enter in August, while u few
enter in September. Two sprayings
are usually sufficient against this sec
ond generation, but if the infestation
is bad three should be made. The
quantity of lime used in the last spray
ing should be reduced to the minimum
required, as the lime in the ripe fruit
reduces it's market value.-C. B. Simp-
son.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1903-08-13
THE TURN OF THE TIDE.


The country is gradually experience
ing the economic and financial change
which has been anticipated, tapering
off Of the flush and speculative condi-
tons of the past three years. The
work of the promoter is ended--noth-
ing doing in that line. and that is
good thing. Interest rates are adj
vancing and money brings and per
cent as readily as it did four or five
years ago. Water enough to run lot
Of big mills has been squeezed out Of
corporation securities. and there is
more to be wrung out of them yet.
Hardpan is in sight. The land boom
works-always is. The next strikes
will be to prevent a cut in wages and
not to compel an increase. and the time
is not far off when the man will be
hunting the job instead of the job
hunting the man. 1t has been pretty
share in it. The wise man has paid
up his debts and in large measure
made himself Independent of more adj
verse conditions. The foolisAAman has
run his credit to the limit and may
well dread pay day. The American
people are never content with moder-
ate profits and healthful prosperity in
a small way. They are always either
''lickerin' I" up or SOLDERING off. raising
the devil or being converted, ready to
sacrifice reasonable competence for
run for fortune or the poorhouse, and
in doing thus they manage to get
a-plenty of variety and excitement

How to Renovatc Feathers

For every five pounds of feathers use
one-half cupful of borax for about eight
gallons of cold water. Put the borax
and water in a boiler, immense the.
feathers and weight down; boil for four
hours, then drain out the feathers,
spreading out somewhat. When cool
enough to handle squeeze dry as pos
sible by handfuls, put into cases and
fasten by one end to the clothesline in
the shade Sun should not shine on
feathers, for it starts the grease in the
quilts. Thoroughly pummel and shake
the pillows three or four times a day
until dry, changing ends every time
they are rehung. Three or four breezy,
drying days will find them thoroughly
dry and clean.

A large amount OF food stuffs of va
rious sorts is imported into this coun-
try from foreign nations each year.
The agricultural department at Wash
ington now proposes TO have samples Of
these imports analysed and tested Ne
to their purity. Much of this stuff
comes from Germany. which country
haaSeen and is unfairly technical and
fussy as to the purity of American
products. There has long been a well
founded suspicion that the ragtag and
bobtail apple refuse of American cider
mills and evaporators. for which there
is steady foreign market, returns lat
er guised as sparkling champagne I'M
der fancy foreign brand and that the
oil products of southern cotton mills
lfter European tour come back to
flavor American salads as the purest
olive oil. This is the beginning of
good work.

Hoxx to stxeen.

There are in the doing of little things,
even in housework, a right way and q
wrong waya good way and bad
way. Consider for moment the item
of sweeping with broom. The next
time you undertake it notice your
broom Do you find that you hold it.
or move 1t rather, in front of you-the
brush farther forward than the handle
each stroke raising the brush and
with it cloud of dust into the air and
the space beyond? If so, try this way:
Stand with the broom rather behind
you, partly facing 1.-THE brush farther
back than the tip of the handle. Used
in this way you will find that the dust
rises no higher than the brush; that, in
fact, little rises, but is gradually moved
to one central point, where it may be
easily gathered into the dustpan-
Swept in this way, even dusty room
may be perfectly tidied without dis
comfort to any person who may be
