THE VOICE IN THE DARK.
\ Memory Of Piekett's Brigade and Q
Night Attack.

Some years after the civil war a
gathering of veterans of both sides
was exchanging "reminiscences at a
banquet given by the board of trade
of New York, writes Mrs. La Sale
Corbell Pickett in Lippincott's
The presiding officer was Colonel
]. J. Phillips of the Ninth Virginia
regiment, Picketts division. He
was speaking of night attacks and
recalled one in particular, not be-
cause of its startling horrors, but
because of a peculiar circumstance,
almost resulting in the compulsory
disobedience of orders-the obey
ing, as it were, Of a higher COM
mand than that Of earth.
'"The point of attack had been
carefully selected" said Colonel
Phillips, "the awaited dark night
had arrived, and my command was
to fire when General Pickett should
signal the order.
"There was that dread, indescrib-
able stiffness, that weird, ominous
Silence, that always settles over
everything before fight. You felt
that nowhere in the universe was
there any voice or motion.
Suddenly the awesome silence
was broken by the sound of deep

there rang through the night the
words:

"The guns were shifted, the vol

and that defenselcss head was Gov.

said:

Some of the broker specialists re-
senied such a restricted organiza-

was called of thc Z eatisfied brokers
for purposes OF protection, and a
committee WIS appointed TO pro-
vide 4 suitable room in which 10
assemble and to suggest such rules
and regulations for conducting
their business rs the committee
deemed necessary. The final result
Of this meeting, SAYS Moody's Mag
azine, was the frat signed agree
ment among dealers in securities,
the Oldest record nov n the az
chives Of thc New York Stock Ez-
change. The agreement reads as
follows
"We, the Subscribers, Brokers
for the purchase and Sale Of Public

and pledge ourselves to each other,
that we viii not buy or sell from
this day. for any person whatsoever,

Testimony Whereof we have set our
hands thi, 18th DAY Of May, at New
York. 1892"
This organization had no local
habitation for conducting exchange
business. Like the curb brokers to-
dav. transactions were carried on in
the open air at a point between the
present numbers OF CS and 20 Wall
street, under Z famous old button
wood tree that stood there with
videspread.ng branches, which pro-
tected them from the suns rays and
ordinarily inclement weather.
Business in those DAYS was not
rushing, and there was an air Of
leisure and quiet about the gather
ing Securities were not active
enough to employ all the time Of
the brokers. so between times bet
ting on the results Of domestic and
foreign political controversies and
dealing in merchandise we're in
cluded.
The first inside quarters Of the
exchange were secured in 1898,
when the Tontine coffee house, at
the northwest corner of Wall and
William streets, was completed.
The old buttonwood tree was aban-
doned, and the dignity Of the bro
kers' organization was elevated by
the change. The Tontine coffee
house was controlled by chartered
company composed Of 2oS subscrib-
ers at $500 each, organized as q
merchants exchange.
The dealers in securities and the
merchants were all jumbled up to-
cether. and at times when trading
was brisk there v a. wild excitement
and shouts that would have done
credit to a band of Comanche In
dians. No constitution for q stock
exchange was adopted until 1877,
when the New York stock and e1-
change board was formally organ
lied and a constitution adopted.

THE HOME OF THE COOLING MOTH.

Gordon Putnam, Wapato, Wash,
writes, under date of March 18th, as
follows:
ST have been reading your paper
and like the writings on horticulture
very we'll. l have just finished the
piece about "Windbreaks. y | would
like to have your opinion of how and
in what kinds of trees the codling
moth takes it's start. l have been
working in an orchard near Wapato,

Wash. for three years but have not
seen any codling moth that | know
of. The orchard is only five years
old now and that may be the reason
that | have not seen anything of this
pest. +"
In order that 1 may properly answer
this inquiry to the satisfaction of Mr..
Putnam and others who may not
understand this matter I wish to
make general statement concerning
insect pests. Some insects work on
the twigs and bodies of Trees some
bore into the bodies; some live on the
leaves; some attack the roots and
some find their home on the fruit.
The San Jose scale Injuries the young
twigs and the smooth part OF the
body; the same may be said of the
oyster shell scale. The different
kinds of borers dig their way into
the body of the trees. The aphids
work on the leaves. The woody aphis
works on the roots and to some ex-
tent on the twigs and leaves. Bud
moths eat out the young buds. The
cooling moth confines it's attacks to
the fruit. 1t does the most harm to
apples and to some extent to pears.
Besides the damage done by insects.
the fungi and batercia do much dam
age in some sections to both the fruit
and the trees. This is not a complete
catalogue of the pests with which the
fruit grower must contend, but these
are the chief ones. From such an
array it must be clear that the sue
cessful fruit grower must be a wide
awake man and must study these
pests and know how to control them.
The codling moth, about which Mr..
Putnam inquiries, is perhaps the worst
of all insect pests so far as the damage
can be reckoned in dollars and cents.
The government reports have shown
that the loss from this pests on the
apple crop of the United States an
nually amounts to many millions of
dollars. 1t is the hardest to control
Of any of the pests.
There are four stages of the codling
moth, viz, first, the egg stage then
the larval stage, then the pupal stage
and last the fly stage. The eggs do
no harm, the pupae do no harm and
the flies do no harm; only the larvae
injure. any thing. These larvae are
called "worms" but strictly speaking
they are not The damage from these
"worms" is confined to the fruit.
The eggssare laid on the leaves or on
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-04-15

the young fruit. The fly guided by
instinct seeks the apple trees in pre-
ference to all others and lays very
small eggs. This is always in warm
weather and the heat of the sun
causes them to hatch out IN a few
days. The worms are very small and
they are very shy and at once seek a
hiding place and, guided by the same
instinct in the mother moth, find the
young apples. About 80 per cent of
the first brood enter the apple at the
begin to eat their way into the apple
where they remain two weeks more
or less, according to the condition of
the weather. Warm weather hastens
their work and cool retards it. When
these larvae have attained to full size
they are nearly three quarters of an
inch long and have reddish tinge.
After leaving the apples they crawl
down the limbs and bodies of the
trees till they find a hiding place
under the rough bark or in the Croft
ches of the trees or, failing in this,
they go to the ground and hide under
any rubbish they can find, or even
under clods. They must hide for if
they do not the birds will devour
them. When they have found what
seems good hiding place, they spin
cocoon and remain there in what is
called the pupa state till they emerge
as flies or moths ready to lay more
eggs and produce more worms. There
are at least two broods and some of
our entomologists think there is a
partial third brood. This point is
hard to settle but 1 am inclined to
agree with those who hold to this
partial third brood. These worms
rarely if ever pupate in the apples,
but crawl out and hide and pupate as
above described. Very few if any of
these worms remain in the apples all
winter but in the fall or early winter
they emerge from the apples; hide as
they do in the summer time and re-
main in the larval state till the next
spring when they pupate and finally
come out as flies or moths. This will
occur from ten days to four weeks
after the apples bloom.
LII friend Putnam will carefully
tudy what I have given above, he
may learn why he can not find the
cooling moth In a young orchard.
So long as there is no fruit there will
be no codling moths. When apple
trees begin to bear. il there are any
cooling moths within from one to
three miles away, they will soon fly
to the young orchard. Besides the
flying of the moths as here described,
there are many other ways in which
this pest may be distributed. A car
may be loaded in the fall of the year
, with wormy apples on its way to a
vinegar factory. Many of the worms
may crawl out and hide in the crevices
Of the car. They will remain there
till the next spring or early summer
when they will hatch out and seek the
apple or pear orchards. The Cal
may be a thousand miles from where
it was liz the fall when those worms
hid away for winter quarters. BY
vigilance we may do something to
