The Moth Pest.

Westward the gypsy moth takes It's
way. 1t has caused millions of dollars
worth Of damage in Massachusetts,, has
escaped to New Hampshire and Con-
necticut, and now the invasion is turn
ing toward New York State. This In
teresting information is conveyed in
letter Of warning just issued by E. P.
Felt, State Entomologist.
The brown tail moth is a more recent
introduction, and, unlike the gypsy
moth, flies readily. 1t is not only
very destructive leaf feeder, but the
barbed hairs of the caterpillars cause
very severe irritation upon the IN
protected skin.
Two rows of warts down the back Of
the gypsy moth caterpillar make it
easily distinguishable i is about two
inches long and the ten anterior warts
are blue, the twelve posterior red. The
gypsy moth will eat anything in the
tree or shrub line, and on the slightest
disturbance leap on passersby and cling
to clothing.
Brown tail moths have white spots
on each side and q single pair of red
spots near the tail They prefer wild
cherry, pear, apple, maple, elm and
white oak leaves, and have barbed
horns, which, breaking off or blowing
from the cocoon, produce an into!erable
irritation, the brown tail itch"
Caterpillars of both species, says Mr..
Felt, may be destroyed by spraying
with an arsenical poisoning preferably
five pounds Of arsenate of lead to fifty
gallons of water, though the gypsy moth
caterpillars, especially when nearly
full grown, are quite resistant to pois-
on. Eggs Of the gypsy moth may be de-
stroyed by treating the egg masses with

Any farmer handy with the ordinary
tools on a farm can make a corn drag
attachment for his cultivator that will
pay for itself many times in one sea-
son, if properly used, says an expert
enced agriculturist. The common farm
harrow is too heavy and unwieldy for
narrowing corn after 1t is up, except
under the most favorable conditions of
soil and weather. To make, get oak
one and one-half inches by three. Make
in two sections Of tn. ee bars each. Let
each section be long enough to cover
all Of space between two rows. Brace
same as other harrows. No. 60 Wire
spikes make very good teeth. Set teeth
a little slanting and as close as will
work in your soil without clogging At
tach to beams of corn plow. Arrange
so that the drag will cover all the
ground when you wish by connecting
the two parts. You can, with this ar
rangement, adjust the drag to suit.

MILK Preservative and Tubereu1osi

The use Of milk preseryatiyes has
been rather fayorably considered by
the dairy department at the New Jer-
sey Experiment Station. Thus the au-
thor Of a recent bulletin believes that
the use of formaldehyde added to milk,
one part in forty thousand, destroys
the tubercule germs and leaves unin-
iured the bodies found in tuberculOus
milk which tend to protect against the
disease The chief danger of infection
of both calves and children is thought
to occur in early life through drinking
milk containing germs, although the
appearance of pronounced symptoms Of
the disease may not be noted until later
life. Hence the suggested use of the
preservative in the quantities mention
ed for milk intended for young chill
dren.

Spraying to Destroy Bugs.

The recognized formula for bordeaux
mixture for use on potatoes is six
pounds of copper sulphate, blue vitriol,
four pounds unslacked quicklime and
fifty gallons of water. The copper sui
phate is dissolved in one barrel and the
lime in another. Add to each twenty
five gallons Of water and then mix
thoroughly. When to be used strain
through a wire stralner, preferably
one of brass.
Spraying should be started when the
potato plants are six inches high md
be repeated every ten days or two
weeks, according to the weather,
are to be destroyed, add one pound of
paris green to each fifty gallons of
bordeaux mixture but the bordeaux
mixture should be used alone until the
bugs are noticed.

spraying does not exceed 81 an acre,
and it is often less, while experiments
have proved that the value of the cop
was increased three or four times the
cost for spraying. it certainly pays and
