THE APPLE MAccoT.
Something About This Orchard En-
envy, and How It May Be Sue
cessfully Combated.

The Maine experiment station Orono,
Me-. has just issued bulletin No. 100, up
on the apple maggot and other insects.
The bad work of the apple -maggot is
done while it is in the larval stage, or
just after Matching from the egg. The
adult insect is fly, somewhat smaller
than the common house fly, and is read
lily distinguished by four dark, irregu-
lar bands across the wings. 1t is found
in orchards from July until frost, during
which time the females are engaged in
piercing or singing the skin of the ap-
pie with sting-like ovipositor and
leaving in each wound an egg, buried in
the flesh of the apple. Each female can
lay from 300 to 400 eggs. After hatch
ing the maggots tunnel through the
flesh of the fruit and feed upon it until
they are full grown. These tunnels
often lie directly beneath the skin and
en- the light-colored varieties, thus CIV
ing the insect the popular name Rail-
road worm" But although the mag
got comes close to the skin it never
breaks through and Is thus always pro-
tected and cannot be affected by spray
ing.
Remedies.-The presence Of the mag
got hastens the ripening of the fruit
and much of that attacked drops as
windfalls. Thus the destruction of
windfalls is one of the most effective
steps in the destruction of the pest.
Hogs or sheep Should he kept in the Or
chard to eat the wind!alls. All canning
refuse should be destroyed. The pupae,
or insects in the shell form, that remain
in the bottoms of boxes and barrels in
which apples have been stored should
be destroyed. Orchardists who pasture
their Orchards with hogs and sheep re-
port listt losses, while others in the
same locality, who do not do so, nor
destroy the windfalls in some other way,
report heavy losses.

DIAGRAM OF THE GREENHOUSE.
would take water too long to make the
trip with the houses 300 feet long. 1t
is hardly possible for farmer to make
a small greenhouse pay if his time is
worth anything unless he takes his pay
out in satisfaction, because the open
ing and closing of the ventilating sash
and attending the fire take more time
than most folks think, and the smaller
the house is the greater is the cost per
square foot OF roof in taking care OF
it. I would call them an expensive lux
dry for most farmers.
Almost any man who has gumption
enough to want a greenhouse could
build one by using hotbed sash for the
roof, supported by two rows of posts
for the outside walls and two rows OF
gas pipe posts-inside; they would cause
less shade than wooden posts of equal
strength, and short gas pipe posts can
be used outside the boards along the
aisle by staying the posts with wire.
Use one sash on the north slope and
two on the south slope, and enough more
by the side of these to make the house
the desired length.
Hot water is by far the best heat for
a small house, and water heater such
as were used in railway cars. ought to
be large enough to do the business. The
piping must be arranged so that there
arc no air pockets to check the circula-
ton of the water. The average winter
will take about 16 pounds of soft coal
per square foot of roof. A hillside will
do if it slopes south; then it would an
swer as wind-break and not shade the
roof Cold, windy days take the most
coal. BY using regular hotbed sash for
a roof they could be taken of, after
danger of frost is past, and stored away
or piled and covered and the beds used
for garden during the summer. The
diagram shows end view of house.

A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S: OAK, March 2s-Quite a
sensation has been created here by the
publication of the story Of G.. w. Gray,
who after a special treatment for three
months was PROSTATE and helpless and
given up to die with Bright's Disease.
Bright's Disease has always been consid-
cred incurable, but evidently from the
story: told by Mr.. Gray, there is a remedy
which will cure it even in the most ad.
vanced stages. This is what he says:
- was helpless as a little babe: My
wife and l searched everything and read
everything we could find about Bright's
Disease, hoping that would be able to
find remedy: After many failures my
wife insisted that I should try Dodd's
Kidney Pills. l praise God for the day
when decided to do so, for this remedy
met every phase Of my case and in q
short time l was able to get out Of Bee,
and after a few weeks treatment / was
. strong, we'll man. Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved my life"
A remedy that will cure Bright's Dis
ease will cure. any lesser Kidney Disease.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the
most wonderful discovery which modern
medical research has given to the world.

SOAPS AS INSECTICIDES.
They Are Effective If the Soap Is Of
First Quality-Make
Your Own Soap.

A communication from the New
York experiment station relative to
the quality of soaps for insecticides,
says:
Whale oil, or fish oil, soaps are
among the best of contact insecticides
if they are of good quality, since they
are inexpensive, easy to use, safe and
effective. In practice, however, they
have been found to give varying re-
suits, some lots Of the solutions made
from such soaps falling to kill many
Of the same kind of insects that other
lots of the same apparent strength
destroyed completely. The continued
occurrence of such failures cast sus-
picion upon the soaps, and examina-
tons at the experiment station, by the
exact methods of the chemist. proved
that they vary to a surprising extent.
The best sample contained four times
as much actual soap as the poorest
one, and one sample of certain brand
was only half as good a soap as an
other sample of the same brand from
a different package. So unreliable
were these soaps that the best solu-
ton of the problem appeared to be for
the users to make the soap at home,
if feasible, and very few trials showed
the process of making to be very simple
and inexpensive.
The soap is made by thorough mixing
of easily obtained materials, without
heating. To make 40 pounds of soap,
containing 60 per cent. actual soap, re-
quires six pounds Of caustic soda, %
pounds of fish oil and ~ gallons of
water. The soda is first dissolved in the
water and the oil then added gradually
with constant and vigorous stirring.
This soap can be made at cost of three
cents a pound or less. Used at the rate
of one pound to seven gallons of water,
the solution will destroy plant lice,
scales and other soft-bodied sucking in
sects without injury to foliage.

HANDY PICKING STOOL.
Device Which Will Prove Of Great
Service in the Orchard During
Picking Time.

Our illustration shows what is called
a "go-devil'' or picking stool. 1t is all
made of Eastwood except the front leg,
upon which the basket hangs. This is
made of a buggy or cart shaft, which
can be had from any hardware store.
The platform is 4 feet long, Is inches
broad and tx inch thick. The cor
ners are sawed off, and tho ends made
double thickness, to allow two tag
screws on each leg, and are thoroughly
braced. The small brace on the un-
der side is iron, with two screws at each
end. A small iron hook is put on the
