There have been i many plans suggested to cure ber of this habit, but she is still at it, and perhaps always will be. Her appotite is certainly-an abnormal one when it craves the contents of an egg. Sometimes red pepper has been put in the shells of the nest egg, but the experiment has not been a roaring success, j One poultryman uses nests that are so small that the hen cannot reach down tinder her body to peck at the egg after j she has laid it and the nest box is so ; iiign mat sue cauuoi rcucu me .when she stands upon the edge of the t box. Nests are sometimes provided that allow the egg to roll down into a I darkened place where the hen cannot see it and she wonders what she is cackling at. Hens rarely eat porcelain eggs.?Green's Fruit Grower. 'No Patent on it. Some of the best horses ever brought to America were bred by the farmers of England. France and Belgium.

I The nast two seasons have been un Isually favorable to soil washing, and lany acres of slope land have been irried to the level bottoms below or orne away by high water. This loss f fertility if followed up year after ear would impoverish the hill land to ach an extent as to render it entirely Worthless for crop raising. As wasting occurs mainly where soil is loose ad sandy in texture, such ground peds extra protection in the line of rain ditches and cross plowing. Frepently where it is necessary to crop Le land situated on hill slopes, the ere opening of a ditch at the upper hd of the cultivated portion will prebnt serious loss from washing by beping the water from the land above lom coming down in injurious qualities river the field. The use of strins I soil binders through the cultivated Id is also to be recommended. These ould be sown crosswise of the hill, id. any good pasture grass will an- , rer the purpose provided the roots e strong and penetrate the ground some depth. In plowing a field at washes badly it is well to bear in ind ihat farrows made lengthwise the hill are conducive to soil washg; hence it is always a good plan to )w the land crosswise. Organic rnat\ such as barnyard manure, rubbish, y or stubble plowed under, will, unentirely decomposed, aid in kcen% the soil particles in their placcs rough heavy rainfall. In the same *nn<?r hndlv washed dit< lies may be Iectively closed by tlie use of hay or aw in sufficient quantities to prent further carrying away of ailjJilt soil. Often the rains route so ickly that the water conies almost in iody down the hillsides. In a comratlvely dry season tliis is not desiraas much of the moisture is ?v>n?ted from the field before it lias opportunity to percolate iliroueh the I. To prevent ihis, plow the ditches run in the direction of the most jtle slope, so that the water may be oriflnn 111- _P R Rni'l'pH in Ihctu vu o ? * ^ ** ? > Ewtomist. I > The Codling Moth. 'A g?od'knowledge of the life historyof the codling moth is the first essential to its control. Every fruit grower snould familiarize himself with its different stages by studying the insect in his own orchard. The codling moth passes the winter in the larval stage. The larvae may be found incased in silken cocoons m cracks and boles in the trees, and in houses where apples have been stored. In the spring these larvae change to pupae, from which the moths emerge about a week after the apple is in blossom. The adult insect or moth is but little known among fruit growers and other moths are often mistaken for it. It varies somewhat in size, but the maximum spread of its wings is about tluee-fourths of an inch. The front wings are of a brownish-gray color and are crossed with lines of gray SL'Uit'V, gAVill^ LiitriJl liitr apical ?u\,c vx watered silk. At tiie tips of the wings | there is a large brown spot, in which ' are many scales of bronze or gold. The ! bind wings are grayish brown in color. Taken as a whole, the coloring of the j moth is such that when resting on ! old grayish bark it is so like the bark that it is not easily distinguished. The moth lays her eggs, a few days after emergence, on the leaves of apple or other food plant, or on the fmit. A majority of the eggs of the first generation ar<^ laid on the leaves, while the greater part of those of the second generation are laid upon the fruit. The eggs of this insect were neve* noted until within comparatively recent years. They are of a pearly white color and are like thin, convex disks. Around the edge there is a coarse network of ridges, while toward the centre these ridges are finer. A red ring, which indicates the embryo, appears in the egg a few days after it is laid. In about eleven days (varying somewhat with temperature) the young larva breaks its way out of the shell and seeks to enter the fruit. Recent work tends to show that a large number of the larvae which liatch from eggs deposited on the leaves eat small portions of the leaves before finding fruit. The larvae a, the moth, or adult inseci; b, the egg, greatly enlarged; c, the lull grown larva; d, the pupa; e, the pupa in its cocoon on the inner surface of a piece of bark; f, moth on hark and empty pupa skin from which jt emerged. have some difficulty in entering the smooth sides of the fruit; hence they usually enter at the calyx, or Take i advantage of some irregularity in the surface. About; eighty per cent, of the larvap of the first generation enter the fruit by way of the calyx, while the majority of the second generation enter at the sides, especially where fruits are touching. Upon entering the fruit the larva feeds immediately under the surface for a few days and then commences a tunnel towards the centre of tlie fruit, where it eats out a large cavity. It lives in the fruit about twenty days and grows pinkish or whitish, until it is about live-eighths of an inch in length, when, being full grown, it makes a tunnel to the out-' side of the fruit. The larva then crawls out and immediately seeks a place jr. which to spin its cocoon. Work should be begun late in the fail or early in the spring, and preventive treatment should be about the same in all cases, except that the Western orchard should be irrigated freely, and every second tree should be cut out. The soil should receive a shallow cultivation for a year and a dressing of manure. The following year cover crops, such as cowpeas or red clover, should be sown and plowed under, and this should bo repeated every few years. Branches should be cut out where they are matted together, thus allowing access of sunlight and spraying solution. The dead branches and stubs should be cut away and burned. It is highly important that the cut ends be smooth and dressed with shellac varnish or grafting wax. All of the rough bark should be scraped from the trunks and larger branches. The holes in the trees should be filled with plaster or cement, thus confining all larvae that are in them and preventing others from en tering later in tiie seasoD. If proper attention is given an orchard -when it is young, no such work will ever be necessary. Poultry Notes. And tlie old rooster, even he crows a good deal more than he scratches.
