A Codlin Moth Trap.

(Nevada City Herald.) .■■■;■■ ./; " .■'Come with me.andseehow lata..'.- : getting the best of the codlih naotU." ; - v said a prominent citizen to a HBld'; man tlie other day.' ' The 1 reporter ? went. The gentleman "referred to 'o' has eighty-foui trees planted -Hjfiut. his lot, fifty-three of wnioli are bear- ■ :;-'; irig fruit. Many of them .are apple .'/.. and pear trees. In the past'ihis ; )' gentleman has been much by the codlin moth,.and he has been'',-. trying for some time to discover a < method for its extermination. Being in the habit of studying out the cause v of things, he decided that the moth was attracted to the blossom or bios-;; som end of an apple by the peculiar' f-\ odour or perfume it exhales.];., Here 'O. therewasa basis upon 'whioh. to•'•', work. Something must be found ', which would give out a similar odour, and also be destructive to the moth. ; : This object was attained by mixing two parts molasses with one part of - vinegar. This mixture smells almost . exactly like an applo-bldssom, and an ; experiment of ten days'duration lias , shown that it has the same attractive proyerties. The method of use is., very simple. The mixture is poured . into a pan-any sort of shallow pan will do—and hung in the'.branches o of the trees. Several pans $Wj& ■■■ ..' be hung in each trees, fromfllei ; .-' highest to the lowest,' as the motli takes in the whole tree in its flight.. Attracted by the scent the insect flies into the pan, and once having- . touched the sticky mixture is doomei to death, it can never escape. : Th& • mixture should be.ohariged every two-: *' or three days; or spine ;more ; shoukT;t be poured into'Mpans'in order that ■•' the required consistency-should ,be."';! maintained. That.thisi method is good one there can be no. doubt,' In■; '■]', one pan the reporter cosaied twenty- •' five moths, all of which were caught.' .-; in one night, and a pan which had :: , -hung unobanged for ten days was a • .: perfect mass of dead moths. The • "■. cost and tro v uble of pests ';.; in this way is almost nothing. There '/;; is no excuse for tbe fruit raiser' who o* will not give it a fair trial....of i t .'; course if only one or -two neighborhood adopt this-method ihefe:i effect' upon tbe number existence would be imperoeptibleiTK' ■' ■■. if every man who has an orohardjoE;;? : only a few trees,- will adopt it, andy;:' keep it up persistently; soon be an end to the pesl :Th|s.;S method is no longer theorelicali it' l'>•■ has been proved a Buccess, but who do' not try it deserve to lose.; their apple and pear; -crop,/ Unless % they discover Bbmethip^better^^^;!

ereot factories where.milk is oheap.as well as labour, where tin and BUgar l{ thei next 'important to the milk itself, are employed with Government assistance.- We have carefully calculated thatat English prioo a to of milk sold wholesale by the .foreign companies at i\i costs somewlwn about Bid, and that untilEnghshmeu can buy milk at 4Jd to 4d per gallon, they have no possible chance of competing against the Swiss factories, or those in any other countries, unless they skim their milk, and consequently sell an inferior article. We have taken the trouble already—it is not necessary to refer to details-to show in exact figures how much milk is required to make a pound tin of condensed, how much sugar, with its cost, and what is the oxaot cost of the tin, and we have clearly proved that condensing milk in this country upon profitable terms is an entire fallacy. Tt is true there, are threo factories in England, which have been working some time, but they belong to the powerful Anglo-Swiss Company, which we are informed upMcredible evidence—in fact the boat evidence —ia not bo able to pay its dividends as it was, which is gradually removing its business to America in consequence of the drawback laid by the Government upon tin and sugar, and in consequence also, of the price of milk. We have had the advantage of seeing end carefully oxamining some of the leading factories in Switzerland: we know the lines upon which they work and the prices winch they pay. English farmers have from time to time received between 4d and Bd per gallon for milk in Derbyshire, and in some parts of the country aro still receiving very little more. Condensed milk making would pay no better than this. Our difficulties, and they must be viewed in that h'ght, lie in the fact that our markets are flooded by foreign goods, that these goods are produced much cheaper than we can produce them here, that the taxes and othor charges payable by the farmers who produce them do not approach in magnitude tho taxos paid by our farmers, that the foreign goods are conveyed to England at exceptionally low rates, and in a word, that every possible advantage iB givou to the foreigner to compote against English agriculturalists upon their own ground, where every facility is given him to beat them at their own trade.
