The codling moth, (CarpocapBa pomenella,) or apple-worm as it is more commonly known, is one of the moft widespread of the insects injuri (Jus to fruits. Among other things this insect was brought from Europe; havisg become naturalized in America. it has extended to all fruit-growing portions of our country. . ooon after the blossoming of the ap ple trees, when, the young fruit is form ed, the moth during the night deposits an egg in the blossom end of the young apple. : In a few days this hatched and the young larva, or caterpfflar begins iia wxwk by eating into the centre ' of the apple. Here it feeds upon the portion ot" the apple in. and about the core.1'5 In a few davs it has erown so large that its castings cannot be dis charged from the apple , through the small hole which the larva made while entering; and for this purpose it eats a hole through the side of the apple, in a direction nearly perpendicular to the axis of the core. When the larval stage is completed the caterpillar escapes through this hole from the apple and seeks a place to spin its cocoon. If the apple is still on the tree the caterpillar crawls down the limb to the trunk, and finding a hiding place under some of the loose bark of the tree, spins its cocoon, passes into the pupa state, and in about two weeks the mature insect escapes in the shape of a moth ready to deposit numerous eggs on ; the . now nearly fullgrown apples, v' i , ' , It is the caterpillar from this second brood which is generally noticed in the fruit at the time of gathering and marketing the apples. Jf the cater pillar escapes after the apple has fallen to the ground, it seeks a hiding place among the rubbish which may be under the tree, or going to the trunk of tie tree seeks a place under some of the loose bark. All fruit growers are acquainted with the damage done by this insect in lessening the value of the apple either for eating or for the market, and in rendering the apple more liable to early decay. For nearly half a century the attention of practical men has been given to finding a means of destroying this insect or of checking its ravages. There are several methods, all of which have their advocates and are more or less successful, ' i st. The first of these is to allow hogs or sheep the run of the orchard in ear nn mm mjmmmn iriiir.

If animals cannot be nut teto therprchard? tt ? is recom mended to knockioff from Vthe tree and pick up all infested fruit and destroy it , 2dL Another method is to entrap the insect under bands Of. cloth or hay, which are wound around the trunk of the tree. The bands of cloth should be from four to six r inches wide and long enough to go well around the tree, one layer upon the other. The band can be kept in place by 4a smau hail driven in the loose end, or by a piece of twine tied around the middle. Where cloth is not convenient bans of hay are used. The bands should be placed around the trees about one month no later after the blossom ing of the trees, and .should be kept on all 'summer. The rough" bark of the tree should be all chopped off and the rubbish in the orchard removea The larvae ' will then seek- a hiding place under the bands to pupate. The trees should all be visited once a. week ai.d the larvae and pupae destroyed By a number of farmers clubbing to gether a hand could be hired to do this work for all thus making the expense comparatively smallor each. It has been estimated bv prominent iruir- erowers m Michiean that the cost of this work will .average , from two to four cents tier tree for the season, a trifle when compared with the greater yield and better quality of fruit. As a noted fruit section, at Uia Mission, Mich., a number of fruit growers f. rm ed a club - and determined that all 3mte trees in that vicinity should be bt.nifiie'ed and brooerlvv cared for to destroy this insect. xne orcnaraa oi ' v . . , thosejiOt willing to iom tne ciud were cared for at the expense of the 'club. The result was a reduction in the in fested fruit from 95 per cent to 5 per cent. , So mnch for unity of action 3d. A less laborious and expensive method has been discovered within th nasr few vears . It consists in spraying the trees with pans green water. With the use of a force pump, rubber Dine and nozzle, the pans green water is sprayed upon the trees just as the young fruit is forming. The fruit of trees thus sprayea a been known to be entirely exempt rrnm damace bv the insect, while on adjoining trees which were not treated w th the poison from one half to one fnnrth nf the fruit was WOrmy. J.ne cost of the remedv is lieht, as only small portion is necessary for each tree. Numerous tests have Deen msae fihowm? the efficacv of this remedy, and also that there is no danger of the fruit retaining the poison. . - ' " G. F. Atkinbok. peter in twelve quarts of water.

The scarcest ele ments, however, in manure, are the phosphate of lime . and nitrogen. Phosphate is largely found in the coarse parts of grain, that have lit tle feeding value.

Barley is commonly sown after some hoed crop, usually corn or po tatoes. Good yield may, however, be secured on stubble plowed early in the spring, or better still, fall plowed the year previous. Where the catch of clover last year failed barely is probably the best spring grain to seed with. Where clover aeed is sown with the grain a bushel and a bushel and a half of barley per acre is sufficient seeding. .

How my heart beat! In j came Paul, but I did not move, for I knew if I spoke to him I ! should burst into tears I had im- j agined such things through jeal- ousy, while I waited! He sat down at this , table. I did not lose a single one of his movements, because my eyes were only half shut ; one can see very well through one's eyelashes! He took pen and paper and began to write to whom? It could not be to a man, because he smiled. One does not smile in writing to a man.

Paul. ground helps this exceedingly, - Where cornstalks are dry and hard when cut it will not pay to mix meal or other hne feed with them for feeding. Cattle will nose them over to lick off the meal, and finally leave much of it to be wasted and thrown out on the manure heap. But if cooked sufficiently to incorporate the meal with the stalks, cattle will eat the whole. Whether this will pay or no, depends on the kind of stock, abundance or scarcity of labor, and general faculties for cooking food. It may not pay with a small herd, while it will with a large one. American farmers will scarcely credit the fart that on the experi mental , grounds at Bothamstead, England, wheat has been grown forty years in succession without manure, and averages fourteen bushels per acre. But the other side of this Btory help to explain it. The land is thor oughly tilled after each harvest ba fore seeding, is carefully hoed the following spring, and not a weed is allowed to grow. The fourteen bus els, therefore, represent the amount of plant food which good culture will -develop in moderately fertile soil without manure. All kinds of domestic animals fed upon dry hay require an abundant supply of water. It is true that sheep can live without it when they can have access to pure snow, but that they suffer severely when de prived of it is evident from their lack of thrift Every farmer who keeps sheep should see th it Lis flock has free access to. the watering trough at all time?, and the nearer the water to their feed racks the bet ter.' By watchiDg a flock eat, sup plied with water close at hand, it will be noticed that a sheep will occas ionally leave the hay, step to the water and sip a little, then return to the feed rack This is much better for the animals than it would be to drink heartily once or twice a day in cold weather.

No ; I can prove it because when I strike a false note on the piano he always hears it. But that is what I expected from the first When he wrote before our marriage, "If you will not be mine I will kill myself," he meant it, and would have done it then.

Must I then be put aside fr (she measures off an inch on her little fin ger) so much? No, indeed ; ft would take more than that: the whole finger. Then, too, Paul is a flirt. That is a term usually applied to women, but men are fifty times worse, fifty times more deserving the name than we.

And then when he came to the line, "When our hearte, too. break, and our lips grow pale.". it seemed to me that it was of his own feel ings he sioke, and at the words, "it is broken," I am afraid. There, there, I am a fool! Surely I am too fond of him! (She listens, closing, her eyes.) It seems to me I heard him call me. Yes, it was he. (She runs to the window.) Paul! Did you call me? Yes!

A STABBIAOB 07 MIDGET3. A Bride and Groom Whose Height la Only Nlnety.NIne Inches. A wedding such as that of Mr and Mrs. John Kelly, at Greenfield, Ohio he only fifty-one inches high and she forty-eight hadso much in it of novelty that a Cin cinnati reporter called to pay his respects to the bride. In describing his visit he says : She is a cute, cunning, bright little lady, who sat in a rocking chair, while her plump, tiny, slippered foot did not reach the carpet She comes from one of the best families in Greenfield, Ohio, where her father resides. "You had a grand wedding, I hear?" remarked the reporter. "Indeed we did. Why, the School Board let all the teachers and children come, and said they should not be marked tardy. We were married in the Methodist Church, and had six little girls, all dressed in white like fairies, each carrying flow ers, to stand up as bridesmaids. Why, the smallest was only five years old and could scarcely toddle, and the bigges was only as tall as I am. Then the streets were crowded and the Marshal had to make a path for us. There must have been twen ty-five hundred people in the church." 'Any others of your family as tiny as you?" Oh, mercy, no. I am the vouneest and the smallest." 'It was a love match, of course?" Oh, yes. It was funny. Six months ago I fairly hated the sight of my John. Why, I even used to go up and down other streets to avoid seeing him. Now I think he Is just the nicest man in the world, and I love him better thau I do my life." 'You have never exhibited, I suppose. or been on the road?" "Oh, no, though I have had many offers. But before I was married I could not bear to leave my father, who dotes on me, but now I don't know what to say about it I have a little property in Greenfield, and shall go back there to live from here." Just then her tiny foot peeped out from beneath a double hemstitched, ruffled. puffed and tucked skirt, which the modest reporter thought was a mouse and was get ting ready to jump on the table, but he recollected himself and whispered : 'uch cunning shoes!" "Oh, yes ; I wear No. 13, but the shoe is 12," putting out a plump little yellow silk stockinged affair no larger than a China doll's. "And how old is your husband?" "He is twenty four, but I beat him a year, for I am twenty-five." "Then your wedding was a happy af fair?" , "Oh, yes; I had lots of presents. I haven't yet even had time to look them all over. I was married in a brown silk brocaded velvet Oh, don't laugh, now. I suppose vou think I could cet into a dress of only three yards, but I can't I once had a dress made and it took nineteen yards. Just think of that!" Mrs. Kelly was formerly miss Annie Duffield. She differs from all the dwarfs that have before been heard of in that she is extraordinarily bright, good-tempered and has the features of intelligence. There Is no baby face business about her marking the contrast between a perfect form and mature manners. ; "'jTAIreBriaVkt Side."' ''Dressmaking has its humorous side as well as anything else," remarked a little black-eyed dressmaker on North Clark street. "There is the thin woman who will dress In snaky stripes, the scrawny girl who insists on a decollete gown, the matron of embonpoint who pleads for flounces to the waist the match-like maiden who wants a torturingly tight bo dice, and the fluffy-puffy little body who wants gathers. But I never give in to them," she continued, with a snap in her eyes; "I think too much of the human race. I believe we all have" one duty to ward humanity. Mine is. to keep women from committing artistic suicide. The lit tle idiots come into my parlor, look at a fashion-plate, discover the picture of a lady in green gloves holding her fingers as if they were covered with molasses-candy, and decide that they want a dress like hers. Now, there are nineteen chances out of twenty that the dress was never meant for her at all. If they think so much of a dress why don't they make a tudy of it? There is a certain rich lady here, with the face of a madonna, who came to me last week with goods for a plaid dress! I wouldn't make it for her. 'Mad ame,' I said, you must dress in gray silk.' I had my way. There wasn't a bit of trimming on that dress nothing but dra periesand she looked like a goddess. Then another mistake is the univeral adoption of a color because it is announc ed to be fashionable, regardless of the fact that the majority of the wearers are mak ing perfect guys of themselves. Heliotrope is a point in question. There is a young bride on State street who came home from Kurope last week with a dress of helio trope. Her skin is as dark as a Spaniard's and her hair and eyes are jet black. She would have been magnificent in dark reds or a cloud of black lacu but heliotrope!" and the little dressmaker nearly died in esthetic pain. Chicago News. Sweet Susie In the Saddle. Yesterday afternoon a young couple rode nn in front of Justice Hunt's office and called the Justice out'to marry them. - They were mounted on Indian cayuses and the arroom wore a belt containing a six- 6hooter and bowie knife.

Houston (Idaho) Press. . , 1 1 Only Helping mamma. A little girl was helping her mamma to wipe dishes. Her Sunday school teacher came in and seeing how busy the child was. said : "I am very glad you are doing your duty, my dear," The little creature . irew herself up and replied : "I am not doing a duty, I am helping mamma" If we all could feel in that way alxrat our work, this would be a happy world. There would be no groaning over unpleasant ness, but we should all be cheerful work ers. f New York Commercial. . Ending of Smoke. The smoke from the charcoal furnace at Elk Rapids, Mich., is now utilized by con version into chemicals and acids. In the manufacture of fifty tons of charcoal per day the regular output there are made automatically from the 28,000,000 cable feet of smoke about 12,000 pounds of ace tate of lime, 250 gallons of alcohol, and 25 pounds of tar, all of which was formerly wasted. Things often "end in smoke," but these begin In ' modern Photography. A Philadelphia photographer has taken seventeen historic portraits of washing ton" and amalgamated them into, three "comnosite" nhotosfraphs, which resemble one another much more closely than the originals do, and are claimed to be much nearer to life. . . i A Georgia Woman's Co fl oe. r An Atlanta lady who is an excellent housekeeper, and whose coffee has leen nrnlcfxl tim overtime. t?ives the followinsr as the rules and regulations for making that dengntrui Deverage : "tc is an easy matter to have good coffee. In the first nlnwv th rnfTpp nuiKt ba kent in an air-tight canister, and must be of a good quality, ana De ground asisneeuea. xne mffw not m list, he kent scrunulouslv neat. and must be kept in the sunshine, when ever there is anv sunshine. The tea ket tle in which the water is boiled must also 1 kent clean, and freshwater must be used for making the coffee. The amount of coffee used must be bounteous, else the product will have a limp taste and willa fail to give satisfaction. If a good supply of crisp, freshly ground coffee is put into a clean pot and fresh boiling water is poured on and the coffee is allowed to boil a while good coffee is the Result. At our home we make coffee extra strong, use about a third of a cup of good fresh milk with the cream on it and it is delightful. It is far different from much of the alleged coffee that a combination of stinginess and carelessness forces helpless people to drink." ' ' The ladv is right Eternal vigilance is th price of good coffee. 'S6 I HE COUKIEit JOURNAL 86 AN OIKJAN OF LIVING IJJ5.-AS AS!) I.IV.N- i'SUES.
