I { "Ht = © | TREO pp pos! fo NAIR i - 1 aS - me Destroy Tussock Moth Eggs Now. A representative of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad Company, Altoona, wrote to Prof. H. A. Surfaee, State Zoologist, Harrisburg, and sent a number of white cocoons which were attached to masses of small white eggs covered with a white frothy substance. 5 “He said he had obtained them from the shade trees;of that city, and asked. “Will you kindly advise me what they are and the best method of destroy- ing them?”’ / To this communication Professor Surface replied as follows: . “We duly received the specimens that you sent to us from trees in your city, and can say that all the speci- mens received were the egg masses and cocooems of the White-marked tussock moth. This insect is peculiar in the fact that the wingless females come from the cocoons and l&y their eggs in masses on the old cocoons, Jand then cover them with a frothlike ‘substance that dries and protects them. There they remain exposed, chiefly an the trunks and larger branches of the trees, until sprirg, when the worms or larvae hatch and spread to the leaves, where they feed extensively. After reacking their full growth they again formweocoons@n the bask, or ii. some protected place, and the w¢ycle is completed. “The best means of suppressing e:leafless season when they can be n. It would be am easy thing to pick hundreds of sueh masses in a day and thus get rid of tens of thousands ‘of the worms or caterpillars that would «come next summer. These caterpillars are covered with tufts of white, black mand red hairs, and itis from the white marks on them caused by these haies ‘that the species takes its name. ‘Where it is not convenient to climb ‘the trees to pick off the cocoons, these can be destroyed by temoching them wyith ‘a sponge or rag saturated with kerosene or some other penetrating oil «ad attached to the end @f:a pole. It ;is a good plan to have:seme lamp black in the kerosene, 80 that the coemons .and egg massesthat have been touched will become dissolored,.and the person working around the trees will know when they are finished, rather than leave some untreated, because by not Jbeing stained he can not see that they, were destroyed. ‘““After the worms or larvae hatch in the spring they-can be destroyed easily by spraying with two pounds of dry arsenate of lead or four pounds of lead paste in fifty gallons of water, ‘but this is more of a job and more ex- pensive than destroying the egg asses Now. +#‘They commence to feed shortly after the green leaves first appear,and consequently, the spraying for them should be done early. It is a matter of considerable impertance to order the spray materials that are needed during the season, and have them on hand. Also, prepare proper apparatus for the work. No special powerful apparatus is necessary for this, as all that is needed is hose long enough to reach to where the pests are feeding, and then ordinary methods of spraying will destroy them. A barrell sprayer is sufficient if it is equipped with long hose, extension rods and ladders for whem is to pick them by hand «during ] Pra 86 , reaching parts of the trees that are infested. “‘I recommend an earnest effort to enlist the co-operation .of school chil- «dren in destroying the egg masses af ‘the Tussock moth. This can be done :and ‘will be found very successful.” eer stems elena: Clears the Complexion. Discovery that Remowes Pimples, Eczema and all Skin Troubles.

Ogontz.—Wearing an ultra-fashion- able gown, which he had explained he Lad “hooked” from a delivery wagon, John Brendall, a tramp, was arrested | ing along Old York road. The prison= er said he took the skirt to “protect my physical system from the wintry winds.” “Darn the narrow skirts,” sald Brendall, when he was arraigned before a magistrate. “If it hadn’t been for these new-fangled notions I could have got away. But what chance has & guy to run in skirts like these?’ As It was the second time Brendall has been arrested in the Ogontz section recently, the magistrate sentenced him to 30 days in prison. : ‘Sharon.—No reason has as yet been assigned for the mysterious disappear ance of Miss Esther Kiss, a teacher in ‘the Farrell public schools.
