 The way to kill the apple worm is to spray with arsenate of lead, paris green and bordeaux mixture just after the blossoms drop and again a week later.
 Woodpeckers and nuthatches de stroy millions of the apple worms by digging them out from under the bark of the trees in winter. Thoroughly scraping the bark with a sharp hoe so as to destroy the larva is great aid in keeping this insect under con trol.

brown spot marked with streaks Of bronze or gold.
 The moths begin to lay thair eggs at once. The egg upon leaf or fruit looks like a small white blister about the size of a pin head. They hatch in about five to 10 days. As soon as the young worm crawls from the egg it begins to feed upon the foliage or the youns apples. Upon reaching the nearest apples about three-fourths of the worms enter the,a at the blossom end. The rest of the worms enter the fruit through the side.

Greatest Enemy of the Apple and Must Be Fought Constantly to

The codling moth will get your ap- pies if you don't look out. This is the greatest enemy of the apple and must be fought constantly to prevent its ravages This moth is rarely seen, be- cause it flies at night and during the day remains motionless or hides un- der the bark almost invisible.

Compulsion (military) might be fair ly applied to the idle, be they poor or rich. The unemployed whom we support would be better learning mil itary drill than haif-heartedly doing work for which they are not suited, and which reduces employment some where else.

TINES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITOL.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 26.-Samuel
Hyndman, A. c. Flaugh and Chris.
Prange all Allen county farmers, came
to this city yesterday evening with a
petition about a yard long, bearing
several hundred names of Allen coun-
ty farmers. protesting against the pas
sage of the Mickey bill. which pro-
vides for the killing by the state veter-
marian of cattle found suffering with
tuberculosis. The bill has already
passed the house and is in the senate
for action by that body. They placed
their petition in the hands of Senator
Ranke who will offer it today. In the
petition the reasons why the bill should
be Killed are set forth as follows:
If said bill were passed 1t would be
impossible to carry out the many pro-
visions contained therein on the amount
of money appropriated.
That the amount appropriated $4,000.
would not pay for the slaughtering of
the condemned cattle in one county
alone.
That the bill in general is absurd
That the bin provides for the ap-
pointment of state veterinarian and
such assistants and agents as are ne
cessary; which would no doubt require
at least one assistant for ever three or
four counties of the. state. If this is
true the amount of the appropriation
would not be sufficient to pay the costs.
The bill does not require the appoint
ment of competent assistants, or duly
licensed veterinarians, but leaves the
matter to the discretion OF the state
veterinarian who may appoint veter-
mary students or persons incompetent
to judge cattle infected with disease.
object to TuberculIn.
Section 6 of the bill provides that
tuberculin shall be recognized as a
/ diagnostic agent for tuberculosis
They object to this provision on the
ground that tuberculin Is not recog
nized by the veterinary profession as
a diagnostic agent for tuberculosis in
all cases. Professor Koch the discov-
4 erer Of tuberculin, claims that It is not
I always a true diagnostic.
They object to the use of tuberculir
on cattle which show no sign of dis
ease
Section s provides that the owner OF
dairy cottle may keep them for dairy
purposes provided that the milk i.
pasteurized in a manner to be approx &c
BY the state board of health. Thfs pro
vision would necessarily require The
dairyman and farmer to go to a very
great expense in installing pasteurizins
plants, or It would necessitate the es
Enlistment of pasteurizing plants al
though the state. It would be prac
tically impossible for the small dair
les to establish pasteurizing plants
Eventually the milk supply Of tn
country would be placed In the hand
Of syndicate or trust formed 70
pasteurizing purposes.
The committee from Allen count,
will remain here day or two to Sc

ognition from the senate and see i
