The Codlin Moth. 
In my practice I have discovered how to 
destroy easily this insect in such numbers 
that it is no longer a pest; but L have never 
made this method known outside of the 
circle in which I live. I was instructed by 
a friend to place sweetened water on the 
bee stand to catch the bee moth. I did so, 
and went the next morning and found six 
moths, but from examination they proved 
to be the codlin moth. I then determined 
to try an experiment to catch codlin moths, 
and in the evening a basin of sweetened 
water was hung on a limb of a Harvt st 
Apple tree; to my joy and surprise I found, 
next morning, the liquid in the basin was 
completely covered with codlin moths. I 
at once ordered the tinsmith to make me 
thirty-five or forty basins, holding a trifle 
over a pint each, with wire bales by which 
to hang them up. 
The place selected to hang the basms 
should be open and easy of access. No 
more liquid should be prepared than is 
needed for immediate use, for if kept long 
it will loose its ripe apple or new cider 
smell and taste. For thirty or thirty-five 
basins take a gallon of rain watej and 
sweeten it, and then add a little vinegar 
to give it aroma, for it is the ripe apple or 
cider smell that attracts the moths to their 
liquid graves. I think Sorghum molasses 
is best for sweetening. The time for 
commencing the use of the bath will depend 
on the season, somewhere from first to the 
fifteenth of May, and it should be continued 
until July, when the first brood of moths 
will have been captured .—From a Prize
