Seasonable Orchard Work. — No more profitable work can be done in 

 the orchard during winter than to hunt up and destroy the eggs of the tent 

 caterpillar moth. These are deposited during July in compact ring-like 

 clusters of two or three hundred each upon the smaller twigs of the apple 

 trees. After they are laid, the parent moth covers them with a viscid liquid 

 which dries into a varnish-like substance that completely coats and protects 

 the eggs from rain. These egg clusters are easily discernible in winter 

 when the trees are leafless, and should be cut off with a pair of long-handled 

 pruning shears and burned, thus preventing the ravages of the caterpillar* 

 in a most effective manner.
