First, breed from nothing but strict

healthy cows we should know their

butter and milk at a profit. So the
first thing we ought to do is to use the

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The roundheaded apple-tree borer,
the most destructive of a number of
similar pests, causes much damage
to apple orchards in the eastern half
of the United States. 1t does not
confine it's destructive methods solely
to apple trees, but feeds on other
fruit trees, as well as service wild
crab and mountain ash, which makes
it advisable to cut out these latter
varieties for a distance of at least a
hundred yards from the orchard.
The presence of the borers Is easily
detected. Sawdustlike castings of a
reddish color are thrown out through
small holes in the bark as the borers
feed. Heaps of these castings found
at the base of apple, pear or ounce
trees are always an evidence that the
trees need immediate attention. Ere
quently an examination of an orchard
induced by finding one tree with cast
ings at the base will reveal the fact
that many trees are affected and that
serious injury has already been done.
Ordinarily the parent beetle lives
about 40 or so days. 1t is about three
fourths of an inch in length, light
brown in color above, with two broad
white bands joined in front. extending
the full length Of the back; the I'M
derparts and front of the head are
white. The females rarely fly any
considerable distance, SO that If the
immediate vicinity of an orchard can
be kept free from them, there is little
danger of serious infestation.
Wormine to Be Thoroughly Done.
The most common method Of rid
ding an orchard of these pests is to
cut away the bark sufficiently to trace
the burrows made by the borer. A
hooked wire is then inserted into the
burrow and the insect pulled out II
made with care, the wound in the tree
caused by this process will heal
readily. The castings at the base OF
the tree serve as an indication of the
presence of the borers. Where the
burrows are curved or INSTRUCTED in
some way so that the wire cannot be
inserted, cotton batting dipped in car
bon bisulphid should be inserted and
the hole then plugged with moist
earth. The gas from the carbon bi
sulphid will penetrate all parts of the
burrow and kill the borer. In exten
sive orchards where worming is done
on a large scale by promiscuous labor
some of the helpers are likely to be
come careless and overlook or neglect
to destroy an occasional borer Every
female SO overlooked stands a gooC
