CODLING MOTH OH APPLE WORM, 
(Carpocapsa Pouionclln, Linn.) 
BY C. V. RILEY. 
[Concluded from paj?e 73, last No.] 
proper Time to apply tlie Bandnare. 
j N my first report, 1 gave the first of June 
as the proper time to commence applying 
ilic bandages, but subsequent experience 
would lead me to advise their application 
nearly two weeks earlier. For reasons 
already stated it is difficult to give dates 
wiih any degree of accuracy, and the best 
advice that can be given is to have the 
bandages on the trees about a week alter the 
first Wilson’s Albany strawberries arc ripe. 
It is of no use to put them on earlier with a 
view to entrap the moths,ns I am convinced 
that they cannot be entrapped in sufficient 
numbers to make it. pay. The bands should 
he removed and the insects destroyed at 
least once a fortnight from this time till the 
apples are all off the tree. With the com¬ 
mendable object of shortening the bandaging 
period as much as possible my worthy friend 
Dr. LeBauon, lias given about the 15th of 
July as the proper time to commence en¬ 
circling the trees;* but I am convinced that 
this date, even for Northern Illinois, is given 
more from calculation than experience, and 
that he will some day materially modify 
jt.f Of course the bandage system is 
A Preventive Measure—Not » Remedy, 
and the beneficial effects of this system Will 
not be felt till the year following. 
Clean Trees nnd Clenu Culture Necessary. 
To ensnare all t he worms under the band¬ 
ages, Mu; ground should he kept clear of all 
else that, could afford shelter, and the trees 
freed of loose bark. 
Ollier Precautions Necessary. 
As many of the worms of the second 
brood still remain in tlio apples after the 
latter are harvested and stored away, and 
as these worms, upon leaving the fruit, spin 
up under the hoops of barrels and in any 
oilier sheltered situations afforded in our cel¬ 
lars and storehouses, it is obvious that the 
bandage system alone, no matter how thor¬ 
oughly carried out, Would not ex terminate 
this insect. Indeed, those worms which thus 
spin up in our storehouses are effectually pro¬ 
tected from the attacks of many of their 
natural enemies, and especially of birds 
which, being hard pushed for food during 
the long winter months, succeed in gutting 
most of the cocoons in our orchards. The 
spring brood of worms, therefore, is princi¬ 
pally propagated from those cocoons that 
are sheltered in our storehouses, and the 
practical importation of thoroughly exam¬ 
ining, in the spring of the year, all barrels 
or other vessels in which apples have been 
stored, becomes at once apparent. All the 
cocoons found in such situations should be 
destroyed, by scalding, burning, or other 
means. 
United Eflnvt. 
Until apple-growers are fully imbued with 
the importance of the management here ad¬ 
vised, and, make as much a business of it as 
they do of the cultivation of their trees 
while young, the apple worm will never lie 
materially subdued. Nevertheless, the man 
who conscientiously fights this insect will be 
well rewarded for his pains, though lie be 
surrounded with slovenly neighbors; while 
he who owns a sufficiently isolated orchard 
may make himself perfect master of the sit¬ 
uation. 
Fires, UialitM, Bottles of Liquid as 
Remedies. 
I have elsewhere given it as my decided 
opinion that neither fires, lights or bottles of 
sweetened water, vinegar or of any other 
liquid, can he used with any degree of suc¬ 
cess in fighting the Codling moth, and I have 
good reasons for so doing. During one 
whole summer, three years ago, 1 had a pa¬ 
tent moth catcher, constantly in a garden 
surrounded by several old apple trees badly 
infested with this insect, and I never caught 
a single specimen of Carpocapsa pomondla. 
The trap was made of bright tin, with an 
inverted cone so placed in a basin that I 
could attach a light, and fill the basin with 
swee tened fluid. During the whole of last

summer I wits in the habit of working till 
late at night in an office surrounded by ap¬ 
ple orchards known to be badly infested. I 
worked by the aid of two large kerosene 
lamps, each having a strong reflector, and 
the light iu the room was so bright us to 
form a constant subject of conversation 
among the neighbors. Insects of one kind 
and another would fly into the room by hun¬ 
dreds, and on certain warm, moist evenings 
would beat against the windows with such 
rapidity as to remind one of the pattering of 
rain. Yet during that whole summer 1 
caught but one or two Codling moths in that 
room, and there was more reason to believe 
that they had bred in the house than that 
they were attracted from without. At the 
same time I had hung up in an orchard close 
by, many wide-mouthed bottles, half-filled 
with various liquids, such as diluted sirup, 
sugar water, and vinegar more or less dilu¬ 
ted. Every two or three days these bottles 
would contain great numbers of insects, 
which were critically examined. Many of 
them would lie small moths of one kind and 
another; some of them larger moths known 
to be injurious, and many—such as beetles, 
true bugs, wasps and two-winged flics—that 
were beneficial. Indeed there were almost, as 
many beneficial as injurious species. From 
my notes I find that hut three Codling moths 
were caught in these bottles during the sum¬ 
mer. Indeed, so small is the proportion of 
Codling moths which I have caught by the 
above, mentioned process, that the chances 
of their accidentally flying into such situa¬ 
tions are about as great us of their being at¬ 
tracted. I might add blither experience oil 
this head, but it is unnecessary at present. 
Upon showing specimens of Hie Codling 
moth to many dozens of eminent and intelli¬ 
gent fruit growers, who have had to do with 
apple orchards, and consequently with apple 
worms, most of their lives, I have seldom 
found one who did not candidly confess that 
lie had never before.identified the insect; 
and under these circumstances it is not sur¬ 
prising that other similar moths should have 
been mistaken for the genuine article. That, 
the Codling moth is occasionally caught by 
lights and fires, is therefore apparent, and in 
the face of other intelligent testimony the 
fact cannot he denied,* though the experi¬ 
ence on this head of non-entomologists is 
conflicting.f- But whether we consider that 
the few so caught are really attracted, or are 
captured accidentally, I believe that the 
methods indicated have no practical value. 
They are blind ways of shirking the more 
sure and efficient remedies. 
1 have been thus explicit as to these would- 
be remedies because my statement. “ that the 
Codling moth was not attracted [to any ex¬ 
tent] by light” has been recently quoted by 
Mr. Robson as uu evidence ” that scientific 
men don’t know everything.” It would he 
strange indeed if they did, and 1 have always 
labored Under the impression, somehow or 
other, that they were the last to claim any 
such universal knowledge, and that it was 
the charlatan alone who was blessed with 
the knowledge of everything, lit the latest 
work on apple culture that has been given 
to the public, namely, “ The Apple Cultur- 
ist, with Illustrations, by S. E. Todd,” we 
naturally look for all that is new and im¬ 
portant about this insect, which cuts such a 
figure in apple culture. Alas 1 what do we 
find ? The descriptive part is a. perfect 
plagiarism, almost word for word, from au 
article in the American Entomologist (Vol. 
I, pp. 112-114), all palmed off as original; 
while under the head of remedies lie con¬ 
cludes his advice as follows:-By keeping 
the bottles containing sweetened water and 
the pan hall filled with thin molasses, with 
a lighted lamp near it in the orchard every 
night, in good Older, almost every insect 
will he trapped in a few days,” and this 
excellent (!) advice is accompanied hv an 
illustration of a shallow pan with a kero¬ 
sene lamp on one edge of it and “ flies” as 
thick as a swarm of bees around il4 
Natural Enemies. 
The natural enemies of the Codling moth 
among birds are principally the creepers 
(Certhiadm ), especially the Black-capped Tit¬ 
mouse. The downy woodpecker guts great 
numbers of the cocoons, while the Bine bird 
and Crow Black bird also feed upon it, tic- 
cording to Mr. Robson. Among insects no 
enemies have heretofore been known to at¬ 
tack it. I have, however, discovered two 
which destroy the worms while they are 
leaving the fruit, and which in all probabili¬ 
ty seek them out while in the fruit. The 
) first of these is

f ] (fig. a larva ;b 
L ) beetle) which 
* v a for some time 
Fig- 2- has bee n 
known to destroy the common curculio lar¬ 
va. The second is a closely allied and 
very similar larva, and produces a bee¬ 
tle which may be called the Two-lined Sol¬ 
dier beetle (Telephone Mlineatus — Say). It 
is of the same form as the Pennsylvania sol¬ 
dier beetle, hut instead of being yellow with 
black marks on the wing-covers as in that 
species, it is black with a reddish yellow 
head and thorax, and with two short black 
bauds on the latter. Both larva: are of a 
rich velvety brown color, and that of the 
Two-lined differs from the foregoing figure 
(a) in having more conspicuous block spots 
along the body. I have bred the beetle from 
larva: found feeding on apple worms, and 
afterwards nourished upon them. Dr. A. S. 
Packard, Jr., has lately given a description 
and figure of this larva: hut without any ac¬ 
count of its habits*. The most important 
fact for the practical man, however, in con¬ 
nection with what, has already been said, is, 
that both these Soft-winged beetles—among 
Nature’s appointed checks to the apple 
worm—were quite frequently found by me 
among the insects in the bottles suspended 
among apple trees; thus showing that we 
may do more harm tlniu good with Bitch 
bottles. 
Summary. 
The apple worm or codling moth is an 
imported insect. There are two broods each 
year, and tho second passes tlie winter with¬ 
in the cocoon in the larva state. Use hogs 
and sheep in the orchard wherever it is 
feasible to do so. Place no confidence in 
lights and bottles, hut rely on the bandage 
system. Have the bandages in place a week 
after the first Wilson’s Albany Strawberries 
ripen, and destroy all the cocoons under¬ 
neath them every two weeks till the apples 
are harvested. Be sure and destroy, as soon 
as the ground thaws out. in spring, all the 
cocoons found around storehouses. Urge 
your neighbors to combine with you iu this 
work.

HYGIENIC NOTES. 
To Remove Wart* from the Ifnutl. 
Purchase at the chemists a dime’s worth 
of spirits of hartshorn ; bn the the warts, or, 
if very numerous, that portion of the hands 
whore the warts are, with a small poriiottof 
the spirits of hartshorn each night and morn¬ 
ing for about three weeks, not washing the 
hands immediately after. The use of it will 
not cause any pain unless it comes in contact 
with ft cut or bruise. A cure is usually ef¬ 
fected in about three weeks. 
Remedy for Corns. 
The same treatment for corns is one of the 
most effectual remedies ever tried, paring 
the corn a little daily as the surface of each 
corn gets hard, being careful not to pare so 
close as to draw blood or to make them ten¬ 
der. Keep the vial containing the spirits 
well corked, as it soon evaporates and loses 
its powerful virtue.—E., Brighton , lit. 
Blackberries and Dinrrhea* 
A Put UADEi.Pii I a physician writes to the 
Post to correct an impression that blackber¬ 
ries are useful or harmless in cases where 
children are convalescing from diarrhea or 
cholera infantum. He says that from close 
observation during several years, mctiulime 
enjoying a large practice, he is forced to be¬ 
lieve that there is no other cause so fatal 
to life iu these complaints as eating black¬ 
berries. 
Sleeping with the Mouth Cloned. 
This will prevent the dryness and had 
taste so commonly experienced on awaking 
in Hie morning. These unpleasant sensa¬ 
tions ordinarily cornu of sleeping with it 
open ; the habit of keeping it dosed may he 
formed by a careful clearing of the nasal 
passages on lying down, and by going to 
sleep with a determination to keep the lips 
closed.— Selected. 
Getting Wet. 
Haul’s Journal of Heal lit sensibly dis¬ 
courses ;—Summer showers frequently over¬ 
take persons and “ wet them to (lie skin ;” it 
is then safer to walk steadily and rapidly on, 
iinlil the clothes become dry again, than to 
stop under the shelter and remain there still 
until the storm is over. If home is reached 
while the clothing is yet wet, take some hot 
drink instantly, a pint or more; go to the 
kitchen fire, remove every garment, rub the 
whole body with a coarse towel or flannel, 
put on woolen underclothing, get into bed, 
wrap up warm, and take another hot drink; 
then go to sleep, if at night; if in the day 
lime, gel up in an hour, dress, and he active 
for the remainder of the day. Suppose you 
sit still in the damp clothing; in a few min¬ 
utes chilliness is observed, the cold “ strikes 
in,” and next morning there is a violent, cold, 
or an ail nek of pleurisy or pneumonia which, 
if not fatal in a week, often requires weeks 
and months and weary years to get rid of. 
The short, sharp rule should be, if the cloth¬ 
ing gels wet, change instantly, or work or 
walk actively, briskly, until perfectly dry. 
THE CREAMERY WATER POOL; 
Untiling Milk ut tho Farm Over Night, Jfcc, 
1 wish to ask you a few questions in re¬ 
gard to the best way to finish oil’ my cream¬ 
ery. I have reserved a room in the north 
end of the basement story of my cheese fac¬ 
tory sixteen by twenty-four feet. The build¬ 
ing is of wood, but the foundation wall is 
two feet above the top ol' the ground. 1 
think of building on the Orange Co. plan. 
Would it he us well to build the tanks on 
lop of the ground inside of the wall so as to 
have the top of the tanks as high as the top 
of the sills of lhe building? Wlmt is tho 
best material to build the tanks of, stone, 
brick, or plunk, supposing lime and stone to 
he as plenty with US as with you? 
Can the factory system he carried on as 
well in making butter as in making cheese? 
Will the cream rise as well on milk that is 
carried one or two miles to the creamery 
once a day ? W ill the cream that rises on the 
milk in the cans over night and is then taken 
to the creamery in the morning, all mixed 
up with the milk again, all rise as well as if 
not stirred, Ac.? Any suggestion you may 
think proper to make on the above topics 
will he thankfully received by many of the 
numerous readers of the Rural New-York¬ 
er.—John Pkxndle. 
If your factory is provided with an abund¬ 
ance of cold, spring water, we see uo partic¬ 
ular objection to placing the tanks or pools 
on top of the ground as suggested. The 
main reason for setting the tanks in the 
ground is to secure a lower and more uni¬ 
form temperature of the water. If stone is 
convenient, and can he had as cheaply as iu 
many places at I he East, we should prefer to 
build the tanks with that material. With 
plenty of running water of uniform low tem¬ 
perature, good results are obtained in build¬ 
ing the tanks of stout oak plank. 
The success of the butter factory system 
is beyond question. It has been thoroughly 
tested for several years, and if prices, and 
the testimony ot producers and consumers of 
good butter can he relied upon, the butter 
factories are doing lbr the butter product 
what the cheese factories have done for 
cheese. At the butter factories it is usual 
for patrons t.o deliver milk twice a day— 
morning and evening. We do not. know of 
any well-conducted experiments having 
been made to test the question as to tho dif¬ 
ference in the quantity of cream produced 
by delivering the milk ouce instead of twice 
a day. 
We should advise that the cream rising on 
the milk over night in the can he skimmed 
at I ho farm before starting for the factory. 
It will he much better to thus skim, putting 
the cream in a vessel by itself and sending 
it to the factory at tho same time with the 
milk, than to allow the cream to he mixed 
up with the milk while carting to the fac¬ 
tory. Where it is proposed, however, to 
keep the night’s milk over at. the farm, an 
agitator may he used, which will prevent 
the cream from rising. A cooler and agita¬ 
tor combined is now constructed which can 
he applied to the can. It is worked by 
water flowing from Lite penstalk, or when 
running water is not to he had, water from 
the well may he used. It is placed in a tank 
raised higher than the can, and the flow of 
water graduated by a stop-cock sufficient to 
keep the agitator iu motion during the night. 
When butter and skim cheese are to he 
made at the factory, we suppose that no loss 
would result from any of the methods named 
for treating the milk. Since, if there was 
less cream by any particular method, the 
skimmed milk would ho richer and would 
make a belter quality of skim cheese. But 
on the oilier hand, if butter alone is to be 
made, and the skimmed milk fed 10 swine or 
calves, then we should prefer that the milk 
he delivered twice a day, morning and even¬ 
ing, as in this case there would he more 
likelihood of obtaining ft larger amount of 
cream and butter. 
KEEP UP THE PLOW OP MILK. 
During the mouth of August and the first 
part of September milch cows should have 
special attention in their feed, and not he 
allowed to shrink low in their milk. The 
grass in pastures begins to deteriorate in 
July, and during the hot weather usual iu 
August and September pastures fail to yield 
a sufficient quantity of succulent and nutri¬ 
tious food to keep up the flow of milk. The 
failure of meadows this year in some sec¬ 
tions, and the lateness of the hay harvest in 
others, must delay somewhat the time for 
turning cows into the aflerfeed. In the 
meantime, if slock get no oilier food than 
that which they pick in pastures, the yield 
of milk will rapidly full away. When the 
flow of milk is checked- even for a short 
time—it is difficult to bring the yield up 
again to the old standard, notwithstanding 
the cows get an abundance of food. This 
will have been observed by every one who 
has had the care of dairy stock. 
We have seen a slow and inferior milker, 
in a few days, materially injure a cow for 
milk, and so much so that when afterwards 
milked by a first-rate hand, the yield of milk 
could not be brought hack again for two or 
three weeks, it is important that, milch 
cows have an abundance of fresh and nutri¬ 
tious food from day to day. The tall, rank 
grass in pastures, which lias been rejected by 
stock during the early part, of tlio season is 
now dry and woody, and is incapable of pro¬ 
ducing the best quality of milk, to say noth¬ 
ing of the decrease in quantity. Cows, it is 
true, from a lack of other food, may be com¬ 
pelled to consume it, but the consumption of 
such food will prove of very poor economy 
to the dairyman. If the soiling crops com¬ 
monly grown, such as sowed corn, millet 
and the like, are not provided, or are not 
ready for tho sickle, then the second growth 
of clover from meadows ami patches of 
ground that were mowed first may he cut 
and fed to the cows in the stable. 
When fed in this wny every animal gets 
its sliare, the food is not tramped upon and 
wasted, and master cows have no chance to 
injure the underlings, as often happens when 
outdoor feeding is resorted to. There are 
Other advantages in soiling cows in the 
Stable. They are not so uneasy and trouble¬ 
some as they sometimes are when fed in tho 
Open yard or field. II' feeding but once a 
day is determined upon, the belter time is to 
put them in the stalls between three and four 
o’clock P. M. The feed of course should 
have been deposited in the boxes or alley 
previously, so that sufficient time will he 
had for feeding before milking. When this 
course is adopted, the animals as they come 
to he milked are quiet, good naturod, and 
will give their milk more freely Ilian when 
fed after milking, as is practiced by some. 
Many think there is quite a saving made 
in feeding aftermath in the stable. There 
is not that waste of feed which results from 
turning stock upon meadows, where they 
trample down and destroy often quite as 
much as they cat. It is true there is some 
labor and inconvenience iu feeding after¬ 
math in the stall, and yet when grass is 
good a mowing machine will soon cut 
enough for a large herd. Those that have 
patches of meadow lands plowed and put to 
corn or oilier crops, or where it is not con¬ 
venient to turn stock until late in the season, 
will do well to adopt the plan of cutting and 
soiling cows in the stable. 
We are not sure but meadows would he 
improved by feeding the afterfeed in this 
way, since the tread of cattle upon the lands 
would he avoided and the grass in patches 
would not he taken down so close and the 
roots pulled up as sometimes obtains when 
stock is turned upon the aftermath. 
Of course, meadows, to he managed prop¬ 
erly, ought not to he pastured at all, and hut 
one crop taken annually from the ground, 
unless treated regularly lo top-dressing and 
kept in a good state of fertility, But this 
course is considered impracticable by most 
of our dairy farmers, who believe that more 
profit is realized by cropping the aftermath 
than would result to the land by leaving it 
to decay for the purpose of renovating the 
soil and furnishing food for the succeeding 
crop. 
Next to green clover, lliere is no soiling 
crop so easily raised and which produces 
better results in milk than corn fodder. It 
should he cut and allowed to will before 
feeding, as by this means it. is freed from 
some of its surplus moisture. As a. supple¬ 
ment, to pasturage where soiling crops arc 
not ready or where they arc deficient in 
quantity, good results may he obtained in 
keeping up a flow of milk by feeding bran 
or ship stuffs. These can often he obtained 
at moderate cost, and pay well in keeping 
up a flow of milk until such time as soiling 
crops and the after-feed of meadows become 
abundant. 
DAIRY NOTES. 
Cheese from Ewes’ Milk. 
ITon. John P. Reynolds, when in Paris 
in 1867, was one of a jury lo examine a 
miniature dairy for the production of this 
cheese. In preparing the curd there is in¬ 
troduced molded bread and the mporules of 
a cryptogamic plant (the Pcnmllum glau- 
cum ), the. cheese when formed being placed 
ill cool, moist caves, in a calcareous rock, 
with atmospheric conditions heat suited to 
the rapid growth of this fungus, and not 
reaching ils most desirable flavor and rich¬ 
ness until the blue mold has penetrated and 
discolored the entire mass. Mr. Reynolds 
informs us that the estimated annual pro¬ 
duct derived from one ewe well cared for, 
whose milk is used for cheese-making is: 
Milk, 21 francs; wool, ot£ francs; lamb, 4 
francs—total, 30]^ francs; Tint, including the 
manure, which i*"of the best quality, and of 
considerable value. Without doubt the late 
war in France lias greatly interfered with 
this, in common with most other branches 
of husbandry.— Western Rural. 
Cream Strain era. 
Mrs. L. W., of Clayville, N. Y., asked 
why the cream is left in the butter milk that 
does not come t o butter. This Is the reason : 
There are white caps or dried cream which 
all have more or less through the season, 
more particularly through spring and fall. 
Tn answer I would say that by using one of 
Baker’s excelsior cream strainers she would 
prevent all trouble. I say this as 1 have had 
experience in both cases—by being troubled 
the same as Mrs. L. W., and having over¬ 
come this difficulty by the use of cue of these 
strainers. I could not, think of making one 
pound of butter without one of them.— 
n. r. it.
