APPLE LEAF MINER GETS BUSY.
Csnnectieut Farmers Warned Against an
Invader Of Their Orchards.

~ ~
SToRRs, Conn, May "A ne% pest has
appeared in orchards Of the Nutmeg State
and threatens the apple trees, according
to q warning just issued by the Agricultural
Station in this place. 1t Is the Tischeria
malfolella, nicknamed apple leaf miner
for short.
1t began TO appear in the apple orchards
Of the station here iast year. Az the nick
name suggests 1t feeds on the leaves Of the
tree, living between the surfaces offthe leaf.
Soon brown patches appear on the leaves
and they begin to curl up and the farmer
aWakes 10 And his tree practically leaiess
while the fruit is affected In quantity and
quality.
After months Of investigation the sclen-
lists at the experiment station have learned
a good deal about the apple leaf miner.
Its eggs are deposited On the surface OF the
apple leaf. Each egg 10 protected by a drop
OF wax, which appears in the sun like a glis-
tening spot. In about six days the eggs
begin to hatch out and the young cater
pillars enter the leaf,
At first 9 narrow channel Is made, but with
the increase In size Of the insect and its
apostle, the channel becomes wider, and
q trumpet shaped mine lie the result. The
oaterpillars moult or change their coats
Ave times while getting their growth. AS
the caterpillar discards ite old CLOTHES IL
judioiously throws them out Through q
small door In the bottom Of the leaf.
About the middle Of July the caterpillars
are transformed to pupe. In eight or ten
DAYS they appear as moths.
The female moths begin egg laying soon
after emerging from the mine. The pro-
duotion Of eggs is apparently, their sole OBJ
ject in life and after continuing the opera
ton for two or three days they die. The
moth during these laying, days migrates
from one leaf to another, laying q nest OF
half q dozen at each stopping place.
One summer will, sometimes. produce,
90 it is believed, as many as three broods
Of apple leaf miners, but the later broods
seldom reach maturity.
The mines on some OF the apple. trees
hereabouts were 20 numerous last summer
that as they increased In size they ran to-
Eether forming one large blotoh covering
the greater part OF the leaf. From one
leaf were taken sixty-eight full. grown
larve. Sometimes these mine builders
construct curious shaped domiciles In the
leaf, some being winding shaped, while the
majority resemble trumpets. As the cpl.
dermis Of the upper surface OF the leaf
dies 1t loses its elasticity and q curling OF
the leaf inward is the result.
Farmers are advised by Prof. G. ID. Jar
Wis, who has been conducting the investiea-
ton here. that the most efficient manner
known at present to rid the trees OF these
insects lie 10 burn the leaves each fall, there
by destroying the insects that are In winter
quarters. The orchards at the school
which we're titled suffer much less from
the pest last season than those IN the sod.
early spring ploughing destroyed these
insects, as we'll as other pests that feed
frequently on the apple trees.

II ID Expected 10 Give q Good Surface for
Horses and TO BE Very Durable.
Paris IL experimenting with the latest
thing In pavement. They call II steel pave
ment, but it Ia really q concrete pavement
reinforced with o steel framework. The
trial section Of il has been laid on the Rus
Saint-Martin, in front Of the C~onservatotre
Of ArtS and Indus tries.
The metal part OF the pavement 10 q plate
OF perforated steel with strong bolts OF
steel running through IL between the per-
forations. Each section has some resem-
blance to o steel har row, only the prongs
project equally on each side and they are
square and blunt.
The plates are arranged CLOSE together on
q bed OF rough concrete such as is used for
wood block pavement. Then o specially
prepared cement is shovelled upon them in o.
soft condition and rammed down until Il
makes q solid mass, with the steel frame
Just levelled Cd evenly with the upper tips Of
the prongs.
The steel prongs are 30 close together
that the shoe Of every horse and every
wheel Of any width must rest in part on
thsm and in part on the cement. 1t 10 er-
pected in this way to secure a highly durable
but distinctly uneven surface. one on which
horses will have sure footing in all weathers

II will be superior TO asphalt in ultimate
economy and TO wood. both in the better

be cut to about $3.50. The life OF such q

mated at ten yea rs as q minimum.

OMAHA TO OBEY
SUNDAY LAW

OMAHA, NEB., Dec. 12.-(SpeciaD
If the orders of Mayor Dahlman and
Chief of Police Donahue are enforced
Sunday will be blue a day in Oma-
ha as any the people of New England
experienced back in the days of the
famous blue laws of that section The
authorities will see to it that no I'M
necessary business of any sort is
done, and no unnecessary labor per-
formed If the orders are carried out
to the letter there will be no news
papers sold in the streets or deliver
ed by carriers. All saloons, billiard
halls, barber shops, butcher shops
groceries, bakeries, candy stores
cigar stands, theaters, dance halls
and other places of business and
amusement will be closed as tight as
a drum. About the only exceptions
will be in favor of the drug stores
and these will be permitted only tC
fill prescriptions. The transforms
ton will be a remarkable one, es-
pecially in view of the fact that Oma-
ha for years has been looked upor
as one of the most wide open Sunday

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritiye tracts are performed pro
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it,?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
nation of disease throughout the body.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
mcnt. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous sWellngS,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humoTs or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number OF them, indicate that you are
suffering from biiouSncSS, torpid or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
gestion or dyspepsia ana their attendant
arrangements.

J. H. Hale of Glastonbury, we'll and favorably known in Newtown, says COnnecticut'S peach crop, amounting on an average to $l GOO. 900 year, will not amount to anything this year. The whole crop s dead, as far as any marketing of it is concerned. MT Hale says that the warm weather in the early part of the winter had caused the buds to swell and then when the weather suddenly changed and the mercury went down with bump, the buds were caught and killed. Hun dreds of buds have been examined by MT Hale and every one was dead, sat- fsfying him that his crop was ruined, but to make assurance still surer he has cut hundreds of twigs with buds on them and put them in water. There have been no developments, which shows that the buds are dead beyond a doubt. The crop in the Glastonbury orchards in Sey ymour are aDout.as bad ly off. Almost all the buds are dead, but with few varieties of l per cent, perhaps per cent, of the buds will live. A few peaches only may be expected in Windham county and a few in Fairfield, but Connecticut is out of the list of peach producing states this year. "And it's no news paper yarn either" added MT Hale, in talking about the situation to the Hartford COurant.
