THE APPLE--FROM
TREE TO MARKET
Few Very Excellent Hints Regarding how and When to Pick
Sort and Pack This Fruit

With the possible exception OF the
San Jose scale the cooling moth is the
most destructive insect with which our
orchardists have to contend.
These worm pests, which leave the
apples in late summer and fall, hide ant
spin cocoons under bark scales. in run
bish about trees, in decayed places on
the tree, and about apple bins and stor-
age houses. In these cocoons they pass
the winter.
In the spring, as the days begin TO
get warm, the worm changes to n
''pupa" inside the cocoon and soon the
pupa changes to moth, which splits
the case and crawls out
1t seems quite generally true tia,
the temperature conditions governing
the blooming of apple trees also occa-
sion the appearance of the moths in the
spring This habit of the moth fur
nishes the very best opportunity of COM
batting it. After the petals fall from
the bloom, for a period of a week o.
ten DAYS the calyx cavity remains more
or less open, and the young apples more
or less upright
AS 20 per cent or more of these first
worms enter the young apples at the
calyx, or blossom end this furnishes
an excellent opportunity for filling the
calyx cups with poisonous spray, SO
that when the young worms endeavol
to eat their way into the apple they are
killed by the poison.
This first application of spray should
be made inside of week after the pet
ais fall from the bloom. Everything
should be gotten in readiness for this
first spraying, for it is certainly the
most important of all the sprayings, 1t
being possible to kill over IS per cent
of the worms by one thorough appli-
cation of arseDate of lead at this time.
A second application of spray should
be made two to three weeks later, 10
supplement the first.
Either Paris green or arsenate of leaa
can be applied in Bordeaux mixture.
The arsenate of lead can be applied
simply in water, without any danger to
fruit or foliage. Paris green can also

the sgatherer arms are equipped with
chains which are provided with long steel
fingers.
"As the machine moves along the
points of the arms raise the down and
tangled stalks, and the fingers of the
chain grasp them and hold the stalks
firmly, until they have been forced be-
tween the swapping rolls.
Those rolls are especially construct
ed and are placed at such an angle
that the ear-corn gravitates to the eleva-
tor, at the side which carries it to the
husking rolls proper.
These rolls remove the remaining
husk and the silk. Gravitation carries
the corn to the earn-corn elevator, which
delivers it to the wagon which is driven
alongside the machine.
THE capacity of the machine is de-
termined only by the rate at which the
team walks. While no definite state
ment can be made as to the amount
of corn a machine will husk. yet a large
wagon-box of ear-corn has been huslxed
in 30 minutes.
Ordinarily, however, the daily capac-
ity of the machine is determined largely
by the quality of the corn and the IA
cilities for taking care of the ears.
Considering the character of the work
such q machine is required to do, the
draft is exceedingly light and the
power required to operate the machine
depends largely upon the condition of
the ground and the sizes of the horses
used.
For ordinary husking, from three to
five horses are required. When operat-
ing the machine continuously for hours
at time, four horses will handle the
machine easily.
Another advantage gained by using
the corn picker lies in the fact that
the corn can be huslxed slightly earlier
with the machine than by hand.
This leaves the stalks in better con-
dition for early feeding purposes. There
fore, when cattle are turned into the
field after the ears have been husked by
the machine. there is more nutrition left
in the leaves and stalks, and the cattle
feed them down better than would be
the case If they were badly withered
with dust"

What a Corn Picker Viii Do

While the corn picker is a compare
lively new member Of the corn machine
line, nevertheless it is destined to be-
come very important one.
Before the advent of the higf-priced
help, and before it became so scarce, the
harvesting of the corn crop was not
and changes in the methods of living,
however, have brought about shortage
in the supply of farm labor.
This shortage is very pronounced, ses-
specially in the husking season, when
extra help is needed. For this reason.
farmers are more than ever in need of
a machine which will husk the corn
from the standing stalks--a machine
which will do the work of several men.
Heretofore. about an acre was CON
sidered an average days work for One
man. A corn picker, however, will husk
several times this number of acres. A
corn picker will, however. not only do
the work of several men, but it will de-
liver the ear corn to the wagon in much
better condition than is done ordinarily
when husldng by hand.
The corn picker is not the inspiration
of minute. 1t is the work of years.
While necessity was the mother of in
vention, let it was hard work that over
came the difficulties that CONFRONTED the
designers of this machine. One by
one these difficulties have ben over
come, and the machine is now perfected
so that it does a very high class OF
work.
The description of a corn picker by
an expert follows:
Corn pickers are constructed much
on the same plan as the corn binder.
Like the corn binder, they take care of
a single row Of corn at a time. AS a
whole, the machine is comparatively
simple. Long, projecting @gatherer
arms extend forward and on each side
of the row.
'eThese arms can be adjusted so that
the points will run very close to the
ground, or higher, as the field condi-
tons require. When operating in the
fields which are badly lodged or tam
glide, the points of the arms must be
run very close to the ground in order
to pick up stalks that are badly down,
or lodged or tangled.
when the corn stands reasonably
straight, however, it is not necessary to
lower the arms.
I'm order to pick up and hold the
stalks firmly until the swapping rolls
have broken the ear from the stalk,

RAISING PIGEONS

Pigeons must have clean water for
bathing once every day. 1t should be
given them early in the morning. The
birds cannot live without it.
The bathing dish should be emptied
after the birds have used it as it
quickly becomes foul and should not
be allowed to stand.
The pigeon that goes about with droop-
ing wings is a sick bird.
At the first sign of sickness the birds
should be taken out of the pens and
placed by themselves. Unless they are
very valuable they should be killed at
the end of three days If they are not
entirely well.
Squads are pretty we'll covered with
feathers when three weeks old.
Before engaging in the pigeon bust
ness go and spend a week or two with
some successful pigeon breeder. One
can learn more in this way than from
three months reading in a book.

mobile which tossed him to one side.
While Chester was shaking his fist at

and threw him ten feet in the air. He

and was unhurt. When within 300
feet of his home he was struck for the
third time by another automobile and
thrown into a field where he lay I'M
