BROWN TAIL MOTH.
A Spreading Pest In New England
Method of Control.


The brown tail moth is a European
moth accidentally introduced into New
England about fifteen years ago. and
It has rapidly spread until At the
present time 1t covers Il large extent of
territory and threatens still further
rapid spread II is an injurious enc
my of orchard. forest aud shade trees
aud Of ornamental shrubbery.
The term brown tail rash" is well
understood In eastern New England at
the present time The hairs of the
brown tail caterpillar are finely barbed
and brittle, and where the caterpillar
comes In contact with the human skin
these hairs enter the skin pores. break
off and cause a severe irritation. In
deed it is not necessary for the cater
pillar itself to come In contact with
the skin. At several times of the year
1t seems as though the hairs were ac-
tually floating about In the air.
Combating II In winter.
In describing this pest and how to
control 1t DR.. L. O. Howard, chief of
the bureau of entomology, advises that
the most obvious means of controlling
the brown tail moth, and the easiest
one Is the collection and destruction of
the winter nests after the leaves have
fallen.
These webs are conspicuous from De-
tober to April. Many of them are with
in reach, and as each contains 200 cat
erpillars or more each one capable of
destroying a number of buds In the
spring, the value of this work Is at
once evident. The webs should be re-
moved before the first part of April
In Massachusetts on the larger trees
are used long ladders and climbing
irons and some men make a business
of detroying these nests upon private
estates. The twigs carrying the nests
are clipped off with one of the ordinary
tree primers (Fig. 10), and the collected
nests are burned.
Spring Spraying.
After the leaves come out in the
spring the nest remaining on the trees
will be empty aud 1t is no longer worth
while to make an effort to collect them.
Practically the only remedy after this
date Is spraying with an arsenical mix
ture When they are young the larvae
may be effectively destroyed by spray
ing with arsenate Of lead. They may
also be destroyed by a paris green
spray In O proportion of one pound TO
100 or even $50 gallons of water. A
stronger mixture will burn the foliage.
Arsenate Of lead, however, may be APP
piled much stronger and this substance
should be used when the caterpillars
are larger. Mr.. Sanderson. as the re
suit of an experiment In New Hamp-
shire, recommends five pounds Of ar
senate of lead to a barrel of water
when the caterplllars are large. Or
ganlzed efforts have been made In
many villages and towns under the
auspices Of local associations to secure
the collection and destruction of the
nests In the winter.

No steam railroad on earth can stand
that competition for local traffic. In
short, the interurban system will force
passenger rates down to two cents
mile, or less.
The interurban is a state builder,
and in time the prairie states of the
west will get back all they have lost
by the absorption Of the short lines
by trunk lines, and more. This time
the good results will remain 1t Is
scarcely necessary to say that the adj.
vance in farm values in the future will
depend largely on the extension of
interurban lines through all the agri-
cultural states of the west For with
these short lines reaching out and con-
Quoted with the view of developing To-
cal traffic, it will be possible for pack

hogs and sheep quite independent of
the great packing centers; and thus

The interurban lines, speaking broad.

Is that they are short where the 9th

Roard BeWteen Fairfield and Memphis
Will Have Good Facilities.
Birmingham, Dec 15.-The equip
ment Of the new interrban between
Fairfield and Memphis will consist If
six passenger coaches, each weighing
10 tons. Two package, mail and ex-
pess cars will be used, each having
capacity to carry twenty tons, and as
soon as the business O. the road JUS
titles it the number will be increased
The road will be equipped with regular
freight cars, pulled by electric locomo-
tives, and the track will be standard
guage, having seventy pound steel
rails.
1t is estimated by the chief engineer,
Colonel Andrews, that the two con-
crete dams to be constructed as power
furnishers for the interurban road,
one three miles below Keosauqua anu
the other a short distance above Pitts
burg, will cost complete, with power
house and electrical apparatus about
$246,000. Five-sixths of the right Of

to Fairfield, and the greater part Of 1t
was donated to the company. The
