HOW APPLE IS MOTH-EATEN
Most Serious Enemy Of All the Five
Hundred Different Kinds Of En-.
emies Is Cooling Moth.

OF all the 500 different kinds Of in
sects which attack the apple, the
fruits most serious enemy Is the
cooling moth.
1t is nothing unusual for fully one
fourth of an apple crop to be ruined
by the codling moth. In New York
state the value of the fruit destroyed
In this way every year is estimated at
over $200O,000.
The codling moth passes the winter
as full-grown caterpillar, curled up
in a tough silken cocoon under flakes
of bark or in crevices in the trees.
With the first warm days of spring
the caterpillars begin to transform to
dark brownish pupae.
About two weeks after the apple
blossoms fall the pupae become moths.
Their wings when expanded measure
about three-fourths of an inch.
The average life of moth is about
ten days, and each female lays from
30 to 100 eggs. These hatch in ten

DISCOVER NEW INSECT PEST
Believed by Entomo!ogists to Have
Been Brought From Japan-At-
lacks Many Fruit Trees.

A new insect for this country has
recently been discovered by the en-
tomologists, the pest believed to have
been brought from Japan. The insect
attacks the peach and similar fruits,
In its larval stage the pest Is small
white and pink caterpillar, and in the
adult stage a brownish moth. 1t
bores into every shoot and twig, and
gummy substance is often seen at
the twig ends. The young caterpillars
usually attack the fruit near the stem
end, and the larva as 1t grows, makes
its way into the flesh, which soon be-
cones discolored and more or less
Shiny. The full-grown caterpillar spins
q whitish silk cocoon in which to
pupate, and the moths emerge in the
spring for egg laying by the time the
young shoots are out. No remedy for
the pest has been discovered as yet,
and the federal department wishes
orchardists to be on the lookout for
same and keep them advised should
any be found.

How Animals Feed.

The squirrel carries its food In its
mouth by means of its paws, while the
elephant uses its trunk. The giraffe,
anteater and toad employ their
tongues, but spiders masticate their
food with horny jaws.
The caterpillar is provided with saw
edged jaws and uses them so well that
every day he consumes at least three
times his own weight In food. Toads,
turtles and tortoises do not possess
teeth.
Frogs have only an upper row Of
teeth, and Holsters and crabs have set
of teeth in their stomachs. The tiger
and lion do not grind their food; as
q matter of fact, their teeth only work
with an up-and-down movement, much
like chopping knives.-Minneapolis

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,

No foolishness! Lift your corns

It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
apply upon the corn a few drops Of
freezone, says Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get a small
bottle Of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
1t is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while APP

BERRY PATCH FOR HOME USE
Every Farm Should Have Strawberry
Bed, Raspberry Bushes and Few
Currant Bushes.

CBy LIE ROY CADY. Associate Horticul-
turist University Farm, st. Paul, Minn)
Every farm home should have good
strawberry bed seventy-five or more
raspberry bushes and a few black,
white and red currant bushes. The
black currants are thrifty and vigor-
Gus of growth. Red currants are
sometimes a encouragement because
the currant worm gets the leaves. This
is easily prevented by spraying with

OVER SEVEN MILLION BOTTLES
SOLD AND DISTRIBUTED
IN LESS THAN TWO
YEARS TIME.
SUCCESS Phenomenal
Fame Of the Medicine Spreads Over
Whole Nation-Now Sold From
Coast to Coast.

NJ EVER before, perhaps, in all his
~ tory has the demand for a pro-
prietary medicine ever approached the
wonderful record that is now being
made by Tanlac, the celebrated medi-
cine which has been accomplishing
such remarkable results in all parts
Of the country.
From Coast to Coast and from the
Gulf to the Great Lakes, Tanlac is
known and honored. Millions have
taken 1t and have pronounced 1t the
greatest medicine ever given to the
people, and the only explanation of
Tanlac's triumph in the medical world
is Tanlac's true worth. Back of Tan
laos triumph in the drug stores Is
Tanlac's triumph In the homes. 1t is
the peoples medicine and the people
themselves have made Tanlac what
it is.
No matter where you go, Tanlac is
household word and 1t is unques-
tionably the most widely talked-of
medicine in the world today. One per-
son invariably tells another about a
medicine that helps him and in this
way scores or even hundreds may hear
of Tanlac as a direct result of one
bottle in a single home.
The first bottle of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just little over
two years ago in the thriving little
city of Lexington, KY, where 10000
bottles Of the medicine were sold in
only few months. Since that time
there have been sold throughout the
United States something over seven
and quarter million bottles, and a
romance which has no parallel in the
modern business world has begun.
The instant and phenomenal success
which Tanlac won in Lexington has
been duplicated in practically every
large town, small town, village and
hamlet in North America, while Ha-
wall, Alaska, Cuba, Porto Rico and
other American possessions have clam
ored for Tanlac.
Just few months ago, 1t was an
nounced in the Atlanta papers that
twenty-five carloads, 265,476 bottles Of
Tanlac had been sold through the At
lanta Office alone. Since that time,
1,406,44S bottles have been sold, and
the grand total now stands at over a
million and half, or to be exact,
1895, 204 bottles.
These are actual figures, and the
fact that one hundred and fifty-ight
carloads of Tanlac have been sold and
shipped into the South and West since
the first day of October, 1915, is a
matter Of record and can easily be
verified. o
One retail firm alone, the Jacobs
Pharmacy Co., of Atlanta, have sold
the astonishing total of $4,000 bottles
within the past twelve months. What
is true of Atlanta, is also true of prac-
tically every large city of the South
and West, where the sales have been
correspondingly large.
The greatest drug firms Of the coun-
try have voluntarily come forward and

BEES NECESSARY FOR FRUIT
Big Factor In Production, Especially
Those Requiring PoIIinization-
Trees Always Help.

Bees are a big factor in fruit pro-
duction, especially those fruits requir-
ing cross pollinization such as many
varieties Of apples AMI pears. Even
the self-fertilizing peach grows bigger
and finer when cross pollinized. In
growing fruit there is just as much
room at the top as ever. but remember
the top is higher up than formerly.
Fruit trees on a farm, even though not
in bearing, always help its selling

days or less into little caterpillars,
whitish in color and about one-six-
teenth of an inch in length.
The little caterpillars live for lit
tie while on the leaves, but soon make
their way to the young apples where
they find the feeding they like best.
Most of them enter the apples at the
blossom end. After feeding for a
short time in the calyx cavity they
burrow to the core, eat the seeds and
hollow out large cavity which be-
comes filed with masses of waste
matter and silk.
The best means Of fighting the cod
ling moths is to spray the apple trees
three times each season with mix
ture of arsenate of lead and lime sui
