THE CODLIN MOTH.

In my practice I have discovered how to destroy easily this insect in such numbers that it is no longer a pest; but I never made this method known outside of the circle in .which I lived. I waa instructed by a friend to place sweetened water on the bea-stand to catch tho boe moth. I did so, and went the next morn-; ing and found six moths, but, from exam-■ ination they proved to be the codlin " moth. I then determined to try an experiment to catch codlin mothsaand in tho evening a basin of Bweetened®&|er was hung on the limb pf a harv«st®pl&,' tree; to my joy and surprise I found the/ the liquid in the pan completely covered\ with codlin moths next morning. lat once ordered the tinsmith to make me thirty five or forty basins holding a trifle/ over a pint each, with wire holes which to hang them up ; The place selocted to hang the basins should be open and free of accuas, ; :No njore liquid ■ should be prepared than ii neoded for immediate use, for if kept long It will lose its ripe apple or new cider smell and'" taste. For thirty or thirty-five basins take a gallon of rainwater and sweeten it, and then add a little vinegar to give it aroma, for it ii tho ripe apple or eider smell that attracts the moths to their liquid graves. 1 think sorghum molasses is best for sweetening. ' The time for commencing the use of the bath will depend on the season, somewhere from the first to the fifteenth ef May (corresponding with our November), and it should be continued until July, whon the first brood of moths will have been; captured.—American paper. !
