THE COOLING MOTHS.
Autumn and Winter Habits Of Thii
Troublesome Enemy Of the Orchard.

An examination of the fruit in the
fall will show how important late
spraying for the apple orchard is. The
codling moth begins early and thins
out the fruit by means of it's first
brood. This fruit is out Of the way
early. 1t drops off when less than half
grown. These early larvae enter the
apple at the calyX, as is well known.
Later comes the moth for the second
brood. She lays her eggs largely on
leaves. where they do not damage, but
some of them are laid on the green
apples. and the larvae that hatch out
enter the fruit wherever it is most
convenient So the scientists have
told us. and little observation will
prove it. These worms are caught by
the late July spraying. a film OF
poison on the apple will put an end
to the worm before it can do any in
jury.
Much has been learned about the
codling moth within recent years. but
there is still room for further re-
search. The worms that hatch on the
leaves eat the under side, and have
rib. There is reason to suppose that
they can develop in the leaf. Is it
often that they do this? That may
explain why the insects are plentiful.
even after year in which there have
been scarcely any apples. Not having
fruit to live in. they have grown up
in leaves. If this should prove to be
the fact. it will be as important to
spray in of years as when there Is
fruit. perhaps more SO. as the larvae
can be killed better on foliage than
on the apples. This is an interesting
question. and one which owners OF or.
chards can assist to answer.
Not only are there two broods OF the
codling moth during the year but it
is now considered possible that there
might be three. though that many have
not been actually reported. But the
| development OF the pest differs so
much in the length OF time required
that there are mature insects from the
beginning to the end of its season.
We can get along quite well without
third brood
The codling moth larvae hides away
somewhere in the fall. or as soon as i:
leaves the apple; then spins a cocoor-
but does not become pupa till the
return of warm weather. II It is in
an orchard it hides in Crevices Of the
bark on tree trunks or under rubbish.
The fewer hiding places there may be-
the greater is the proba bility that it
will be picked up by birds fowls or
predacious insects. or attacked by
iChneumon flies before it can find win
ter quarters. The moral is Obvious
clean up the rubbish.
The COdlinC moth came from Eu-
rope, but unfortunately did not bring
its enemies with 1t. There are sew.
eral OF them. so it appears. The de-
/ partment OF agriculture is now inter
/ ested in them. and has been expert
mentinC with several. The results
have been sufficient to excite the hopes
of fruit growers. In time the codling
moth may go. as has already been pre-
dicted. hut that time is still some dis
tanCe in the future There is as vet
no safe and easy means for getting rid
of the worm in apples. and there may
not be till spray pumps are worn out
that are still unmade.

VICTIMS OF HYsTERIA,
Dictum of Nebraska Physician on
American EmotfOnaIism.
fs1,gcou,o To,,v-raT


Chicago Journal.
A Nebraska physician says that the pres
ent state OF the public mind is nothing more
nor less than hysteria, that it is growing
worse every day, and that IL It is not
checked soon it will result in incalculable
damage.
Men and women, In a crowd, are but
children, Governed by emotions that affect
the crowd, and under this influence they
will be driven to do things that not one OF
taem Individually would think of doing
Modern methods OF communication are so
swift, newspapers 80 rapidly convey intelll-
gence everywhere, and people are 50 con-
stantly in touch with one ano iher that the
nation IL literally a crowd, instead of an
aggregation of, comparatively small com
munities.
Thus an idea almost at once becomes
common property and acts simultaneously
upon millions Of minds, which at the same
time react upon one another, building It
| up into an ohsession.
When IDEAS that corruption is at work in
\ high places and that the rich everywhere
are conspiring against the poor are thus
disseminated. they arouse performers who
/ cry In the market place that the country is
In danger and that woe is at hand. Thus
new crowds are created, with new crowd
ideas, and hysteria is developed fast.
All this Is Enthusiastically true, and yet il
has another side, that il the crowd is easily
stirred, sim It as swiftly let's it's enthusiasm
pass. The manias OF history have never
lasted long, however great the damage they
may have done while they we're in exist
enoe. Men are 50 constituted that they
cannot keep themselves at fever heat for
more than short periods Of time. The
blood cools, the heart slows and then relec-
ton comes; and the hercest reformer Won
ders what it was about which he became
go excited.
That is the reason civilization makes
progress 50 slow. The mass of mankind
however hysterieal on the surface, is very
slow and cold below, The man in crowd
feels himself in sympathy with others
Under the influence OF oratory he may
think himself ready to lay down his life fol
