Obnoxious Little Insect that Feeds on
Starch, Destroys Books and
Clothing.

Starch, Destroys Books and
Clothing.
Housewives who are annoyed by
damage done by insects to their
books, papers, clothing and other ar
ticles containing starch, are advised
by the u. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture to spread a poisoned paste upon
bits of cardboard, and tuck these into
crevices in bookshelves. backs of
mantels, under washboards, and in
the bottom of bureau and bookcase
drawers. A thin, boiled starch paste
should be prepared by adding to the
-four from to 5 per cent powdered
white arsenic (poison), and then
using sufficient water.to boil into a
thin paste. This should be spread
upon cardboard and allowed to dry.
The preparation however. is poison
Gus to human being as well as to in
sects and it must be used with the ut
most care.
The insect which does the damage
is known by number of popular
names, such as silverfsh, silver louise,
silver witch, sugarhsh, etc. 1t owes
these names to its peculiar fshlike
form and it's scaly, glistening body. AS
long ago as 1865 1t was eseribed as
"a very small, silgery, shining worm
or moth which found much CONVEX
SAINT among books and papers" 1t is
about one-third of an inch in length,
tapering from near the head to the
extremity Of the body, and somewhat
resembles a worm in appearance. Its
entire body is covered with very min
ute scales, which give it its shiny
appearance, and its six legs enable it
to run with great rapidity
The silverfish is one of the most Sc
rlous pests known to Libraries, for it
is particularly fond of the paste used
in the binding of books. Heavy glazed
paper is also attractive to It. SEARCHED
clothing, linen or curtains may be Sc
riously damaged If left undisturbed
for any considerable period of time,
and the insect also feeds upon the
starch paste applied to wall paper.
BY eating this, it causes the wall pa
per to scale off. Occasionally it gets
into vegetable drugs or similar ma
terial which is left undisturbed for
long periods, and it is an open aues-
ton whether or not it ever attacks
carpets and plush-eovered furniture.
A somewhat similar insect Is com
monty called in England FIRE brat"
because of its fondness for ovens and
freplaces, where the heat would de
stroy other insects.
Among the remedies for this house
hold pest In addition to the poisoned
paste is pyrethrurn. Wherever this
can be applied, as on bookshelves. it
furnishes one of the best means for
getting rid of the insect Sodium
fuorid, which is now recognized as
one of the most efficient, roach pow
ders, will probably also be equally eff
fective against the silyerf1sh. 1t may
be busted by hand or applied with a
powder blower wherever the silver
fish is likely to occur. Frequent hand
ling and airing of starched clothing
and similar objects will probably be
sufficient to prevent injury to these,
unless they are stored away in damp
houses.
This insect is described in detail in
new Farmers Bulletin, of the De
partment, No. $751;, which may be had
free on application.

Crab Apples.

The original introductions of the
crab apples were so astringent that
unless when over ripe their use was
mainly for the making of jellies and
preserves. 1t is really so today with
the typical Siberian kinds, such as
the red and yellow ones, but even if
but for jeIlies the product is so de-
sirable that these varieties are often
grown especially for this purpose.
Again there are those who have trees
OF them set out on their lawns be-
cause of the great beauty of the fruit;
and cheering looking such trees are
when their apples are ripe. The ST.
berian crabs are among the hardest
of all apples; in fact. they belong to
different section than the common
apple, coming in the parent from ST.
IBERIA, the botanical name being Py-
rus baccata.
At the present time the Siberian
crab has been so much hybridized
with the common apple, Pyrus Malus,
that there are many varieties inter
mediate between the two, some of
them of such good quality as to be
well worth planting for the use Of
their fruit; some, in fact, showing
more of the common apple character
than Of the Siberian. Besides the two
we have named, the red and the yell
low Siberian, the following sorts Of
hybrid forms are fairly well known:
Gideon. Hyslop, Hewes, Montreal
Beauty, Transcendant, Van Wyck and
Whitney. Then of other kinds not so
well known are Dartmouth, Florence.
Marengo. Pauls Imperial. Richland
Sweet and Sylvan Sweet.
Many Of these are productions Of
the colder states. where the crab is
better known than in states where
all common apples are hardy, there
fore they are well worth the attention
of those looking for the hardest
kinds, Seedsmen say they are some
times asked for seeds Of the typical
Siberian crab, Pyrus baccata. This
could only be had in some botanic
garden, but as the red and yellow
ones are not hybrids. but true varie-
ties of the baccata, the seeds Of these
should give just as hardy seedlings as
from the type itself.-The Practical
| Farmer.
