butterfly, but just which one do not
know. | showed it to two of the pro-
fessors from the state college at Pull
man and they concurred in my view of
the fellow, but like me, could not de-
termine just what butterfly is finally
developed from it. One thing may be
accepted as pretty certain about this
and all similar larvae: They are not
at all likely to prove serious pests
1t is biting insect and no doubt feeds
on the leaves of trees. For that reason
it can be easily destroyed, should
enough of them appear so as to prove
a serious pest. Spraying with some
form of arsenic, such as Paris green
London purple, arsenate of soda or
arsenate of lead would soon send them
to the happy hunting grounds. 1t can
hardly be said too often that all insect
pests are to be found under two heads,
viz. insects that bite or chew their
food and insects that suck. For the
first class some form of arsenic is the
sovereign remedy. The sucking in
sects do not chew but are provided
with probosis or tube that is pushed
down to the sap in the leaves or the
woody part of the tree and they suck
out their sustenance. Poison won't
reach them. They can live and grow
fat where there is a coating of poi
son. Our scientists who are always
probing into things, as mentioned in
another part of this issue, found that
these sucking insects have no lungs
properly speaking but breathe through
holes in their bodies back of their
wings if they have any. Now if these
holes can be stopped up they die in
stantly. Hence spraying with some
sticky substance like soap suds or kerr
osine emulsion is the sovereign RENE
dy. Whenever an orchardist finds
some unknown insect preying on his
trees, the first thing to be done is to
find out whether it chews or sucks and
then proceed accordingly. Every fruit
grower should be something of an en-
tOmolOgist.

How and When to Tip Berry Canes.

Quite a few Of the raspberry grow
ers are now cutting out the canes that
produced the fruit this year, says the
Puyallup Valley Tribune. This is
done on the theory that in order to
get first class canes and first class
buds for next years crop, it is best
to give them all the heat, light and ar
possible. OF course, it can be readily
understood that, with the old canes
cut out, the new ones have much
better opportunity to make vigorous
growth.
In talking to one of the large grow
ers this week the question was asked,
'Is it advisable to tip the tops off
canes at this time of year?" The
grower SAID that if the berries were
grown in hills, it is necessary to tip
the canes about the time picking com
mences, or as soon as the canes have
attained the required height. This
will give the arms ample time to
make their growth and harden up be.
fore winter If canes are tipped after
August list, the arms that are imme-
diately thrown out will be weak and

Peaches in Whatcom County.
&c. e Flint.)

Noting what Mr.. Walden says in re-
gard to WhatcOm county peaches at
the Lewis and Clark fair l would like
to say that until very recently It has
been the prevailing opinion that peach
es were not adapted to our climate,
but we are beginning to learn differ
emily While there are very few, If
any, peaches grown for market it is
simply because no one has been pro-
gressive enough to do so, for there
are many trees in many different To-
cations that produce yearly crops of
as fine fruit as the writer has ever
sampled.
Both the Early Crawford and Hale's
Early do we'll, and there is a home
Seeding known as the Parkinson, that
is one of the finest peaches grown any
where. 1t is of large size, finely color
ed, and excellent flavor The origi-
nator told me that the original tree
has borne eight full crops in eight
years and averaged him $40 a year
That was two years ago | don't know
what it has done since that time. OF
course there are many trees that bear
fruit that is of little account, but that
is due to variety and not the climate.
There are other varieties that do well
but if only those three would grow
we'll there is certainly no reason why
we should have to import our peaches
very long.

cites. that would be of little use here.
but it is so with everything. Grow
those things that are adapted to To-
cality and one will win success, other
wise failure.

immature, and will probably be killed
by the frOsts.
If canes have not already been
tipped, it will be best not to do so
until spring. The difference between
tipping in the spring and tipping in
the summer is that berries tipped in
the spring will ripen much later than
those tipped in the summer. If it
could be done, it would be adv sable
to grow one-third of the crop without
tipping, One-third to be tipped about
July 1st, and one-third to be tipped in
The spring This would cause the
berries to ripen little later in each
part of the patch, instead of having
all come on together.
In cleaning out the raspberries at
this time, it is a good plan to let the
old canes lie on the ground until the
fall rains begin. They will act as a
mulch to retain the moisture. Growers
not well supplied with fertilizer ought
to SOW winter yetch between the rows
about September LIST, or as soon as
the rains commence and let it grow

Gently OF rrematnrety Horn.
At the WaldorfAstoria in New
York, recently, was assembled one
of the strangest collections of people
ever known. They were incubator
babies, young lives saved from the
brink of eternity by science and skill.
They were from Buffalo, St Louis.
Chicago and other cities, where the
human incubator has been in evid-
ence. The ages of the participants
ranged from three years down.
Their mothers were proud of them
and thankful for an all kind and
merciful Providence that had per-
mitted them to cling to the slender
thread of life that may be broken at
any hour. They were thankful, too,
that science had given the world the
infant incubator, which has enabled
thousands to live that death would
have claimed otherwise. The infant
incubators at the Lewis and Clark
Centennial Exposition and Oriental
Fair are exact reproductions of those
used in Berlin. The tiny inhabitants
of these crystal castles are pre-
maturely born infants, sent into the
world scarce half made up as
Avon's gifted bard so truly said
Everybody should see the incubators
and watch the infants grow. Each
day the little cherub is weighed and
every condition noted Trained
nurses and skilled doctors attend the
offspring. 1t Is rare educator and

the minor contributary causes of this

obliged to order little at time

find that the cellar makes an excel
