of the Fruit Trees.
In the apple orchard:
Spray about the last week in July
with bordeaux, combined with an ar
semitic, for second brood Of codling
moth, tussock moth, yellow necked cat
erpillar, fungous diseases, etc.
In the latter part Of July look for
young colonies of the yellow necked
caterpillars feeding gregariously ON un-
derside of leaves. Cut off infested
branches while worms are young and
destroy.
During the months Of July, August
and September keep trunks and larger
limbs covered with whitewash or with
carbollzed whale oil soap spray to pre-
vent bOrers.
Pear and Ounce.
The pear is to a large extent subject
to the same insects and diseases which
attack the apple. The programme for
the care of the apple orchard will
therefore serve very well for the pear
orchard also. That special pest Of the
pear, the slug, which appears in June,
is treated by spraying with an arsenlte,
with kerosene emulsion or with a de-
coction of white hellebore or applying
a mixture of hellebOre and flour or
lime with powder gun.
The same programme as for apple
and pear applies to the ounce. The
apple borer and codling moth attack
this fruit The ounce curculio comes
from late May to July and is fought
by Earring.
Pench and Plum.
About the LIST Of August examine the
peach tries for borer larvae and de-
strOy all that are found.
With the plum follow the July and
August programme given for borer In
apple and peach.

Pacific Liner Manchuria Goes on a
Reef Near Hawaiian Capital.
Honolulu, Aug. 22-The Pacific
Mail company's steamship Manchuria
is on the reef at Rabbit island.
The Manchuria struck, bow on, dur
ing heavy rain storm. about 4:30
o'clock yesterday morning. She was
considerably out of her course
1t was total darkness when the
Manchuria struck the rocks, but there
was no panic on board.
TIE position of the Manchuria is
not believed to be one of immediate
danger. 1t is now believed that she
has sustained little damage, but light
ening her cargo may be necessary to
float her.
The passengers, numbering nearly
200, are being landed at Waimans, and
most of them will be brought to Homo

May Be Total Loss.
Honolulu, Aug. 22.-It is the general
impression now that the Pacific Mail
liner Manchuria, which ran on a reef
OF Rabbit island before daylight yes
terday morning, is hopelessly aground
and may be total loss.
