What is the male, you ask ! To answer
this you must allow me to digress a little
and to draw your attention to a °leas of in -
mots whose habit, and life history are in-
ma±oiently studied and little aodentood
by fruit-growere in general. An inseot, to
the maid of the average fruit -grower, gives
him an impression of t grub, a beetle or a
batter fly. The Sao Jose noels is unlike &ey
of these three classes. It i., at tint. a maw
rosoopic, or almost mioro.00pic soft, oval
bodied, orange-oolored, six -legged louse.
This little ohsp who is lee than the fiftieth
pert of an inch in 'meth, is 'supplied like •
mosquito. with a small tube-hle sucking at,

oration is thrown oat, sound and over its

forms practically • shell or cover, attaching
It to the bark and protecting the soft -bodied
insect within. There are severrJ insects
which, like the Ban Jose scale, are eopjlid
with the theft like ooveriag, among whiob
are the oyetar-.hilt ark louse, so oommoo
to Eastern Canada, and lbs scurfy bark
louse, foetid in greater gatntitieI to the
