PROTECT STOCK FROM FLIES
Department Of Agriculture Recon-
mends Mixture of Soap and kero-
sene-usc Spray or Wash.

(By CHARLES I. BRAY, Colorado Ex-
pertinent Station.)
During the summer months, when
cattle are most likely to be bothered
with flies, there are many people
who wish. to know what can be done
as a preventive. There are a mum
Der of methods sometimes recommend
ed for this purpose, some of which are
supposed to keep flies off the animal
by virtue of their bad odor or greasy
nature, and some which are supposed
to be sprayed or to kill the flies.
Considerable doubt exists as to the
benefits to be obtained from using
any Of these treatments, or as to the
relative value of the different ways
of combating flies.
For spraying the backs of cattle at
milking time. there is possibly moth
ing more reliable than kerosene
emulsion. The following recipe
given by the United States department
of agriculture Is one of the best ways
of making this: Dissolve one-half
pound of hard soap In one gallon of
hot water, and while still at near boil
ing point add two gallons kerosene,
and emulsify by use of a force pump
or agitator of some kind. Dilute with
water, one part emulsion to eight
parts water, and use as a spray, dip
Or wash.

FIGHT APPLE TREE INSECTS
Something of Its Habits and vuIner-
able Points Must Be Learned Be-
fore Combating Insect Pest.
(BY e. N.


Before 1t is possible to combat an
insect pest intelligently we must learn
something of its habits and of its vul-
nerable points. When these are known
proper remedial measures may then be
taken for it's repression or extermina-
ton. In the United States alone
more than four hundred species of in
sects are known to affect in greater or
less degree the apple tree or its fruit.
For convenience in dealing with the
species of insects which damage apple
trees, they have been classified, in ac-
cordance with the character of the in
jury they cause, into three primary
groups.
A. lnjuring root, trunk or branch;
borers and sap feeders.
AA. Injuring the foliage; biting or
sucking insects,
AAA. lnjuring the fruit; maggots,
caterpillars, bugs and beetles.
In the class of those ~injuring root,
trunk or branch, are the borers-
r~oundheaded, fatheaded and shot
borer-which are destructive to the
wood; the scale insects and plant lice,
which include the oyster shell and San
Jose scale and the woolly aphis.
In the second class-those injuring
foliage-are the plant lice, small,

MAN MUST PROTECT ORCHARD
All Dead Grass, Weeds and Brush
Where Insects May Harbor During
Winter Should Be Burned.

The man who expects to harvest
any fruit must protect his orchard
from the ravages Of insects and ami
mails. All dead grass, weeds and
piles of brush where insects may har-
Dor during the winter should be
hauled out ard burned.
Insects deposit their eggs in the
summer and fall in the grass and
weeds and brush piles. These hatch
out in the spring and make their at
tack upon the trees to the destruc-
ton of much fruit. OF course, in sea-
son the spraying should be carefully
done.
A good deal of fruit may be har'
vested without spraying, but most OF
1t will be defective.
