(RY w. O'KANEl

The first evidence that usually
comes to the orchardist indicating the
presence of the shot-hole borer in his
trees is the dying back Of limbs; or
the weakening or death of whole trees.
AS the tree is examined, it is found
that the bark is peppered with tiny,
round holes, each one not more than
the twentieth of an inch in diameter.
1t is from this characteristic sign that
the pest gets its name.
Sometimes the numerous tiny holes
are seen in the bark of apparently
healthy trees, and in such cases there
may be little drops of gum at each
hole. This is especially true where
peach, plum or cherry are attacked,
because of the propensity of these
trees to bleed when injured. But if,
as is often the case, the tree is weak
ened or dying when examined, there
will be no gum and each hole will be
clean cut.
Each of the little round holes rep
resents the point at which an adult
beetle cut it's way out from the sap
wood, where it has been going through
part of it's life cycle as a small grub.
By removing a piece of the peppered
bark the characteristic burrows of the
grubs will be revealed. 1t will be
found then that there is a short main

Coaxing a calf to drink is easier
than pushing it's head into pail and
holding it there. When we wet the
fingers and coax its head into the pail,
it will soon drink of it's own accord.
More milk to the acre and not more
milk to the cow should be the aim of
the successful dairy farmer.

and running more or less in the same
direction as the grain of the wood.
From each side Of this number of
small channels lead off at right angles,
gradually enlarging and diverging, and
finally wandering about, to end sud
denly in a round cell.
The beetles begin cutting their way
out fairly early in the spring and soon
afterward the females are at work
making the brood chambers and lay
ing eggs. In the South there may be
four generations in the course of the
summer; in the North, probably only
three. The last generation remains
within the burrows until the following
spring
This makes clear the principal
means for fighting these pests-to
watch sharply for evidences of their
work, and at once cut out and burn
the limbs or branches attacked. If
an entire tree is infested and dying, it
should at once come out and be
burned. Too much emphasis cannot
be placed on the burning of such trees
and limbs. If limb or branch is cut
down and is left lying on the ground,
the damage may readily be increased.
Burn every part of tree infested with
the shot-hole borer and keep the
orchard clear of rubbish.
