The Injuries done by tbe plum
cullo are not so easily prevented
are those of some other Insects,
yet there are a numtier of methode
that can be used against them with a
very satisfactory measure of success
In dealing with the Insect on apples
by far the moat effective means of pre
venting loss is aprajlng with one of
the arsenical poisons, such aa parts

Even where spraying Is practiced,
however, it la a good plan to use in
connection with the operation some of
the other measures suggested here. If
the best possible results are to be ob

The apple curcullo has been con
fused often wtth the plum curcullo. but

species tn both appearance and habits
The appl« curcullo Is more reddish

are much larger than any of tbe hump«
on the back of the plum curcullo The
snout of the apple curcullo la almost

three times tbe length of that of the
other species
The snout Is carried
projecting forward. Instead of hanging

USING MODERN
MANURE SPREADER
<Hy W M KKI.I.KTl
The modern manure spreader la
built ao as to give sufficient capacity
for a large load
and
unless
the
ground la dry and level three or four
horses should be attached so that we
tnay facilitate the work
Owning a manure spreader atlmu
laics us to get the manure out as fast
as It la made preventing all loaa from
heating and washing
It spreads the
manure more evenly than It could be
done by hand so that It covers more
acres with the same good effect to the
land covered that Is would have If a
large amount were applied by baud,
W« have found during the recent
yeara that there la a loss of fertility
when manure la spread In too large
quantities
The manure spreader la a
great economy of labor, which la a
very Important Item to be considered
at the present time
In
buylug a manure spreader, we
should note very carefully how strong
ly It la hull! at the places where tbe
wear and tear will be the greatest
when the machine la tn operation
It
should distribute all kinds of manure
evenly
There should be the same
quantity spread on the outside ns In
tbe center of the space being cov
erod.
Thia Is a very Important point to be
considered In selecting
a machine
care
With any make of spreader
should be ex-rclaed tn loading If the

It will pay every man to Investigate
these points before he buys a machine
