under a fall apple-tree which bore 

 apples about the color of lemons, and 

 two under a winter apple-tree, the 

 apples having- a brownish color irusty 

 coats), and the worms from these trees 

 dropt on the hives underneath them, 

 and workt their way into the hives and 

 around the sides, and in each instance 

 the worms were the color of the apples 

 in the tree above the hive on which 

 they fell. 



It is my opinion that the worms that 

 fall from the trees and crawl into the 

 hives are the color of the tree from 

 which they carae until they become 

 millers. 



The worms which g^ot into the col- 

 ony under the grape-vines were of a 

 natural color. 



I went into the country to visit a 

 friend, and while I was there he made 

 apple-cider, and askt me to help him, 

 which I did. We went to the orchard 

 and gathered the very best of the ap- 

 ples, cutting out the cores and all the 

 rotten and worm-eaten spots. After 

 throwing the cores away I noticed 

 hundreds of millers gathering on them, 

 then I lookt up and saw as many 

 among the trees, and some of them 

 alighted on the apples. The next 

 morning I examined the apples, and 

 found that the millers were stinging 

 them, and planting their eggs in those 

 that were ripe or matured. The millers 

 sting the apples at the stem, at the 

 blossom end, and on all sides, and 

 when the eggs are hatcht into worms 

 they work themselves toward the heart 

 of the apple. 



Iwould like to know if it does any 

 good to spray the trees while they are 

 in blossom. Some of our professors 

 claim that the eggs that are laid in the 

 blossoms are killed when the trees are 

 sprayed. I do not believe it does any 

 good to snrp.y the trees, as my obser- 

 vation is 'hat the millers plant their 

 eggs in the apples after they have 

 matured. August Rosenberger.
