INJURIOUS GREEN AND
ROSY APPLE APHIDS


The eggs Of the rosy apple aphii
hatch about the middle Of April Just n
the green leaves begin TO show at ths
end Of the buds. On April 18th In az
orchard 1t Meriden. the aphids were
Matched and the buds had opened jusi
enough to show the green tissue
Many newly-hatched aphids could be
seen on the opening buds. though many
eggs were still unmatched.
These aphids were abundant through
blossoming time and were thick on
the young fruit During the latter
part Of June. or about the nrst of July,
they disappeared entirely from the
trees, and did not return until DC
tober.
On November ~. 1909. the aphids
were laying eggs. though but few could
be found.
Gillette states that lime and sulphur
mixtures are among the substances
most effective in destroying eggs Of
the green apple aphis in Colorado.

and Hodgkiss reached similar results
with his tests on eggs In various spe
cies Of aphids In New York.
Tests were made with kerosene
emulsion In different dilutions late IL
June to determine the proper strength
to use. The emulsion standard was
prepared after the formula printed Or
the spray calendar and Is as follows:
Kerosene Emulsion.-Two gallons
kerosene. one-half pound common soap
one gallon water. Dissolve the soar
in hot water. add the kerosene. and
churn together until a white creamy
mass is formed which thickens on cool
ing.
Into the diluted emulsion were
dipped typical infested branches. Four
teen trees scattered throughout the or
chard were included In this test and
both trees and their dipped branches
were marked.
The dilute emulsion killed the aphids
quickly when brought into direct con
tact with them. This could be done
by dipping the branches. but would not
be accomplished SO successfully BY
spraying on account Of the curlee
leaves.

Of apparently the same insect as

The green apple aphis was described
briefly and figured in the report Of this
station In 1903. It attacks the ter
minal shoots and tender leaves, caus-
ing the leaves to curl. It affects the
tree chiefly by restricting the growth
and is much more serious on young or
chard trees and nursery stock than
upon old trees. All stages are bright

SlcKROOM HABIT STUCK
Justice Brewers Explanation of Horse
Doctors Inability to Speak
Loudly.

The late Justice Brewer was pre-
siding, years ago, over civil case in
which one of the important witness
es was a horse-doctor named Will
liams. The doctor was small man
with a weak little voice, and the
counsel on both sides, as well as the
court and jury, had great difficulty
in hearing his testimony.
During cross-examination the
counsel for the plaintiff became ex-
asperated and began to prod and
harry the little man.

where with this case you must speak
up so the court will hear you Speak

but it was evidently no use. Whether
from embarrassment or inability the
sound would not come.
"Well, your honor" began the
counsel Indignantly, when Judge
Brewer stopped him with a gesture
Leaning over the bench, he said, in
his kindly tone:

TALE OF THE WANDERING JEW
Imaginary Parsonage Who Owes Ex-
istence to Legend of Christ's
Passion.

The Wandering Jew is an imag-
mary parsonage who owes his exist
ence to a legend connected with the
history of Christ's passion AS the
Saviour was on the way to the place
of execution, overcome with the
weight of the cross, he wished TO
rest on a stone before the house of
Jew, whom the story called Aha
suerus, who drove him away with
curses. Jesus calmly y replied: "Thou
shalt wander on the earth till | re-
turn" The astonished Jew did not
come to himself till the crowd had
passed and the streets we're empty.
Driven by fear and remorse, he has
since wandered, according to the
command Of the Lord, from place to
place, and has never yet been able
to find a grave. According to an
other legend, he was Pontius Pilates
porter, and his original name was
Cartaphilus. Soon after the Saviour's
crucifyion he was converted and
took the name of Joseph. At the
end of every hundred years he falls
into a fit or trance, upon which,
when he recovers, he returns to the
same state of youth he was in when
our Saviour suffered, being about
thirty years of age. He remembered
all the circumstances of the death
and resurrection of Christ; the
saints that arose with Him: the
composing of the Apostles Creed !:
and the preaching and dispersion of
the Apostles themselves. In the
fourteenth century he was called
Isaac Lakedion, or Laquedem but
the chronicles of that time make no
mention of these periodical alterna-
tions of youth and age, though they
attribute to him perpetual life.
