1t Wasn't His Fault,

A well-known Brooklyn politician
owns dizzy old frame building in one
of the Jewish quarters of Manhattan.
Not long ago his tenant, a small cloth
ing merchant, summoned him hastily
by telephone, telling him that the place
was on fire. When the owner reached
the ground be found that the fire de.
partment had extinguisheC the flames
before they had done much Of any
damage. Somewhat annoyed at hav-
ing been called from important busi-
ness for so trivial matter, he said
rather sharply to his tenant:
Its a pity the whole building didn't
burn

precating gesture. you can't plane

Meat and Grain For Food.

Foods containing protein are given
cows to increase the milk production,
and hens to increase the quantity OF
eggs and improve their quality. The
dairyman understands full well that in
feeding grains which furnish protein
to cows, a sufficient quantity Of succu-
! lent food must be given to formulate
the proper balance; Yet this same man
protests when it is suggested that the
same rule should apply to laying hens.
The proper feeding Of poultry is not
80 difficult as any one would think.
nor is the feeding of any animal, for
that matter.
If one possesses a knowledge Of the
needs Of the animal he is feeding, be
will readily find out what foods will
supply such needs. Feed the variety
pf grains by all means as well as an
Occasional supply of animal feed, but
do not overlook the need for green
flood. This same rule works the other
way, so do not attempt to obtain re-
suits from green food and grain at
the expense Of the animal food. In
home way get at the properly balanced
ration and then profitable results will

Tho Codiiue Moth.

A good Knowledge of the life history
of the codling moth is the first essen
tial to it's control. Every fruit grower
should familiarize himself with its
different stages by studying the insect
in his own orchard.
The codling moth passes the winter
in the larval stage. The larvae may
be found incased in silken cocoons in
cracks and holes in the trees, and in
houses where apples have been stored.
In the spring these larvae change to
pupae, from which the moths emerge
about a week after the apple is in
blossom.
The adult insect or moth is but little
known among fruit growers and other
moths are often mistaken for 1t. 1t
varies somewhat in size, but the maxi
mum spread Of its wings is about
three-fourths of an inch. The front
wings are of brownish-gray color
and are crossed with lines Of gray
scales, giving them the appearance Of
watered silk. At the tips of the wings
there is a large brown spot, in which
are many scales of bronze or gold. The
bind wings are grayish brown in color.
Taken as a whole, the coloring of the
moth is such that when resting on
old grayish bark it Is so like the bark
that it is not easily distinguished.
The moth lays her eggs, a few days
after emergence. on the leaves Of apple
or other food plant, or on the fruit. A
majority of the eggs of the first gen.
Grafton are laid on the leaves, while
the greater part of those Of the second
generation are laid upon the fruit.
The eggs of this insect were never
noted until within comparatively re-
cent years. They are of pearly white
color and are like thin. convex disks.
Around the edge there is a coarse net
work of ridges, while toward the centre
these ridges are finer.
A red ring, which indicates the en-
bryo, appears in the egg few days
after it is laid. In about eleven days
varying somewhat with temperature)
the young larva breaks it's way out Of
the shell and seeks to enter the fruit.
Recent work tends to show that q
large number Of the larvae which
hatch from eggs deposited on the
leaves eat small portions Of the
leaves before finding fruit. The larvae

No Patent on it.

Some of the best horses ever brought
to America were bred by the farmers
Of England. France and Belgium.
These men got a good mare or two,
used them to work their farms, bred
them to the best sires they could find,
producing stations that had admirable
conformation and disposition for draft
horse sires. Some of the best trotters
; ever bred were produced by farmers
who owned well bred road mares and
mated them to good stations. Who
will say that these men, who use the
dams for the purpose for which their
produce is intended, cannot produce
horses that are equal to those of the
great breeding establishments? asks
Stockman and Farmer. They can and
often do. There is no patent on horse
breeding, no advantage in favor of the
millionaire who keeps his brood mares
in idleness over the farmec who works
or drives his. 1t will pay any man
who has a good mare to give her a
chance to do her best. and that means
to mate her properly and take care of
her progeny.

Poultry Notes.

And the old rooster, even he crows
a good deal more than he scratches.
Many believe that eggs absorb odors
after being laid, by coming in contact
with foreign substances.
Steamed clover hay is good snbsti'
tute for grass now that the latter prod
iuct belongs to the bybones.
A tight roof, q dry floor and walls
free from cracks are very essential
things in the makeup Of a poultry
house.

from February to October, but by SCI

Once in a while you will find her

have some difficulty in entering the
smooth sides of the fruit; hence they
usually enter at the calvx, OF take
advantage of some irregu!arity in the
surface.
About eighty per cent. Of the larvae
Of the first generation enter the fruit
by way Of the calyx, while the major
ity of the second generation enter at
the sides, especially where fruits are
touching. Upon entering the fruit the
larva feeds Immediately under the sur
face for a few days and then COM
mences a tunnel towards the centre Of
the fruit, where it eats out 4 large
cavity. 1t lives in the fruit about
twenty days and grows pinkish or
whitish, until it is about five-eighths
of an inch in length, when, being full
grown, it makes a tunnel to the out
side of the fruit. The larva then
crawls out and Immediately seeks a
place ar which to spin its cocoon.
Work should be begun late in the
fail or early in the spring, and pre-
ventive treatment should be about the
same in all cases. except that the
Western orchard should be irrigated
freely, and every second tree should
be cut out. The soil should receive a
shallow cultivation for year and
dressing of manure. The following
year cover crops. such as cowpeas or
red clover, should be sown and plowed
under. and this should be repeated
every few years. Branches should be
cut out where they are matted to-
gether, thus allowing access of sun
light and spraying solution. The dead
branches and stubs should be cut away
and burned. 1t is highly important
that the cut ends be smooth and
dressed with shellac varnish or graft
ing wax. All of the rough bark should
be scraped from the trunks and larger
branches. The holes in the trees
should be filed with plaster or cement,
thus confning all larvae that are in
them and preventing others from en-
tering later in the season.
If proper attention is given an
orchard when it is young, no such
work will ever be necessary.

Trarels Of a Marked Lobster.

caught large seed lobster marked II.

Jonesport Enterprise, with the request
that any one catching this lobster
would in turn report. On December s
George Marshall caught the same
shellfsh near Mark Island, which, as
soon as punched by the inspector, will
be placed in Hatchet harbor. This is

The Egg Eating Hen.

The egg eating hen is an intolerable
nuisance. She is a twin sister to the
chicken eating hog. There have been
many plans suggested to cure her OF
this habit, but she is still at it, and
perhaps always will be. Her appc-
tite is certainly AN abnormal one when
it Graves the contents Of an egg. Some
times red pepper has been put in the
shells of the nest egg, but the expert
ment has not been roaring success.
One poultryman uses nests that are so
small that the hen cannot reach down
under her body to peck at the egg after
she has laid it and the nest box is 80
high that she cannot reach the egg
when she stands upon the edge of the
box. Nests are sometimes provided
that allow the egg to roll down into
darkened place where the hen cannot
see it and she wonders what she is
cackling at. Hens rarely eat porcelain
eggs.-Green' Fruit Grower.
