A brief note was printed in the last
report of this station regarding the &C.
currence of the leopard moth in Con-
necticut. Since this note was pub
lished considerable evidence has been
brought to our attention of serious
damage to shade trees, especially
elms, By this insect. Pruning of the
trees and especially the removal of
dead branches reveals the tunnels OF
the leopard moth larva, which is a
horer in the branches and trunks of
many species of broad-leaved trees.
Several specimens of the adult moths
have been captured in New Haven,
but 1t was not known until recently
that the insect is doing much injury
to the trees in Connecticut.
The leopard moth is a European
pest, and like many other very injuri-
Gus insects that we have to fight,

country, being first noticed in June,
1881, at Hoboken, n. ]. Three years
later DR.. E. B. Southwick found it in

one Of the worst insect pests attack

Confesses to Murder.

Portage. Restored to conscious
ness after lying in deathlike coma for
more than an hour, Edward Lennon,
40 years old, farmer living two
miles from Portage, made state
ment which, according to the district
attorneys office, clears up the mys-
terry of the murder of County High
way Commissioner Timothy McMa-
hon Sunday evening, July 81.
Hanging eight feet from the
ground at the end of rope securely
fastened around his neck, Lennon
was found at the point of death when
Sheriff Doughton and assistants en-
tered the barn on the Lennon farm.
1t is said that he had expected the
visit of the officers and that when he
spied their automobile approaching
he hurriedly improvised a moose and
attempted to commit suicide. Had
the officers been delayed only a min
ute or two it is possible that Len
non would have been dead.
Later in the evening District At
torney Henry A. Gunderson, candi-
date for attorney general, stated that
Lennon had made a remarkable con-
fession, admitting that he murdered
Mcmahon and asserting that he com
mtted the crime because Mcmahon
had opposed his courtship of one of

+ FARMERS NEED SiLO FEED
Experiment Station Experts at Uni
versity Have Plan to Offset
Dry Season.

Madison.-As a result of the eX-
ceptionally dry weather which has
prevailed throughout the state this
season Professors G.. c. Humphrey
and F. W. VOL, of the University
of Wisconsin, have been carefully in
vestigating the protection for dairy
and stock farmers in seasons of
drought. They find that soiling and
silage are the two methods of de-
Tense best adapted to the farmers
in this state and they say:
The widespread drought during
the past season has brought home to
the farmers in all parts of the state
the necessity of providing summer
feed for their live stock, especially
in case the available pastures are linn
tied and dry up quickly during Pc
RODS of drought.
at has been demonstrated in dairy
sections that where silos have been
put up and silage is available for
summer feed that comparatively little
difficulty is experienced in maintain
ing the milk flow or keeping the
stock in a healthy and productive
condition when silage is fed to sup
plement what little feed the dry pas
lures may furnish, and the past sea-
son which has proved such hard
ship in many sections will doubtless
cause large number of silos to be
built where the farmers have here
before depended only on their pas
lures for summer feeding.
The system of feeding soiling
crops to farm livestock affords an
other means of overcoming drought
conditions and is to be recommended
where there is no silo on the farm
and it is not feasible to build one. ="

nEER and elk preserves may play an
u important part In reducing the
high cost Of beef. According to gov.
eminent experts who have made an
investigation of the cost and methods

They are harder and more able to

more valuable than that of the steer.
The Virginia or Whitehall deer, com
