We don't soil that kind, but we havo
got a largo assortment of chain wheels
of this year's make which are worthy
01 ail me praise we might bestow.
The Columbus Blcuclc
is a wheel that we are proud to hnn
die. It is good clear through and
pleases both the "font men" and tholr
slow brothers. There is no tax on
the pocket by continual repairs. Its
first cost Is low, but the faut 'that It
stands wear and tear with little atten

THE APPLE WORM.
Hr
is next to the table in usefulness. It
should also be beautiful as it usually oc
cupies a conspicuous position in the
dining room. Like all the articles in
our large stock of Furniture, our line
of sideboards are distinctly graceful in
design and well finished. They are not
product of hasty thought and unskilled
bands. Every piece is woll made and
well joined. They are built to lust.
Dut the most surprising thing about
them is the price. We offer a Side
board of wonderful value at a price that
cannot be beaten.

Department of Agriculture of Pennsylva
nia, Division of Zoology, Advice
How to Treat It.
The following advice, Untied by tho
IVpnrtninl of Agriculture of Pennsyl
vania., Division of Zoology, is worthy of
the attention of farmers and others who
hsve apple tires:
THE Al'I'MC WORM OK ConUNU MOTH.
This Insect (loeii an enormous amount
of dnninge escli year in Pennsylvania.
Figures showing just how much the
loss in tho Htoto Is are not available,
but the Cornell Experiment Station hits
made the estinuttu that tho average
crop of apples In Now York Is fi,0(K),(Ml0
barrels, which at $1.50 a barrel, would
bo 7,fiK,0lM. They estimate that
wormy tipples form about ono-tblrd of
the crop, making the loss to t'int Slate,
each year, $,5lll).(MK). To this should
he udded the apples so badly Injured by
tho worms that they full off before be
ing gathered.
As tliree-(iiai'ters of this loss can bo
prevented at little cost, It Is certulnly
worth while for each farmer to save his
share of this hum. and the lime to at
tend to the Ins'-ct Is now.
TIIK LIKE OK THE APPt.B WORM.
Tho worm which eats the apple comes
from un egg laid either on the little
apple, on the stem, or even on the
leaves near by. Those eggs lire laid by
a little moth ("miller") called tho Cod
ling Moth, whose wings spread about
three-quarters of an Inch, and which
UK's mostly ut night. Tho eggs are
roundish white specks, a little smaller
than a pin head. When they hatch tho
little worm (which Is really a caterpil
lar) crawls uround on the apple, but
after a short time begins to cat Its way
Into the fruit. About three-quarters of
the worms enter the apple at the blos
som end. The caterpllur works In to
tho core, where It feeds till It Is full
grown, after which it leuves tho apple
to find a hiding place, either under the
bark of the tree or, if tho apple has ful
Ion off, under rubbish on tho ground;
here It chnnges Its form, spins a case of
white silk around itself and is quiet for
a time, after which It leaves the case as
a little moth, to repeat this history.
HOW TO KILL THE INSECT.
The moth comes out of Its resting
stage, as just described, In tho spring,
about the time tho blossoms full und
tho fruit "sets," and begins to lay its
eggs. These hutch in arjou. a wecK and
then Is tho time to kill tho caterpillar.
The udiiIo at tills time, has its blossom
end pointing up, and tho Httlo projec
tions there (calyx lobes), are sepnrato;
a week or ten days later they draw to
gether. Hefore tliey havo done this, but
several, days after tho blossoms have
fallen, tho trees should bo sprayed with
Paris green. This Is made by mixing
ono pound with 100 to 200 gallons of
water, and adding one or two pounds of
fresh slaked lime. This spray, thrown
upon the tree will fall on the upturned
blossom ends of thoupplesand bo caught
and held in the space between the calyx
lobes, and when the worm begins to eat
In there, ho Is poisoned. After tho
calyx lobes draw together it is too late
to spray. If, after spraying, much rain
falls before tho calyx lobes close,, the
troes should be sprayed again. The
mixture should be kept well stirred
while it is being sprayed on tho trees,
SECOND BROOD.
The moths from the eggs laid In the
spring appear during the last of July
ana first of August to lay eggs for
second brood. Many of the worms
the first brood that escaped being killed
by the spring spraying can bo caught
after they leave tho apples and are
hunting for a hiding place, by taking
off ail tho loose, dead bark from the
tree and wrapping an old cloth around
the trunk near tho lowererotches. Tho
caterpillars will hide under this and
can bo crushed by hand; tliosu which
fall to the ground in tho fruit can be
stopped from becoming moths and lay
ing more eggs by picking up the wind
falls and feeding thom out to stock or
by letting sheep or hogs run In the
orchard. Every caterpillar left to turn
into a moth means more caterpillars
later.
There need bo no fear of poisoning
from poison left on by the spray. It
will be all washed off by the rains long
before the apples are ripe.
DOES IT PAY TO SPRAY?
The cost of spraying should not be
more than five or ten cents a trei
while the apples thus saved will be
worth many times this amount.
This insect also often works in pears
and it would be wise to spray these
trees also.
