As to bis frank and emphatic remark
regarding Governor Roosevelt It may
13.ppear to have additional weight when
It is stated that Billy Hofer, among
dtber distinguished men. has guided
Theodore Roosevelt on a big ,earne trip
In the days before the governor had
become so prominent a citizen. That
ivas when Roosevelt was a ro.nchma.n
pad hunter, the dearest time of all his
life to him, and the one to which he
reverts with greatest pleasure and
pride It was while on this hunting
trip in the fall of 1891 while Roosevelt
and 1311Iy Hofer were in ca.inp that the
farmer bethought himself of the scheme
of the Hunter's Cabin, Nvhich was later
erected on the Wooded Island at the
grorld's Fair by the Boone and Crockett
Flub. It was Billy Hofer who 111d
charge of the Hunter's Cabin.
Roosevelt a Great Hunter.
"No man who knows anything about
-the facts and who ds the least of a
laurpter himself could ever accuse Ted -
ay Roosevelt of having any yellow in
him. Fle's ktlled bears a -plenty, and
killed 'em himself. So tar from needing
the help of a tray rm. anything else
when ihe found a good fresh bear trail
be didn't want anybody to. go along

hack and let him trail and kill his
grizzly alone. Now, you try that your
•self and • see whether it takes any
nerve. No matter whether it does tIr
not, that was what Teddy Roosevth
ilid, and every hunter who lives in the
Western mountains knows it perfecdy
well. . •

Wormy Apples.
There is nothing new about wormy
apples except the 'way to avoid env -
Ing them. There are several specite
of grubs or worms which work in fgt.
pies, but the one which does near", all
the damage is the core worm. The
core worm is the offspring ef the tad..
lin moth, and this is the insect which
a man wants to light in his apple
trees.
The best general remedy for the
core worm or codlin moth. accoiding
to information furnished by the Ver-
mont experiment station, is Paris
green. Some apple growers use Lon-
don purple, others use white arsenic,
but they amount to the same thmg.
They all poison the core worms. Oth-
er insecticides like hellebore, kertseao
or sulphur are not effective in this
case.
In the hands of the average man E'er -
is green is the best mediciae for zee
codlin moth. The poison should be
thoroughly mixed with water at the
rate of a quarter of a pound to the
barrel,—that is about one pound of
Paris green to 160 to 200 gallons a
water. About a pound of lime ought
to be added to each barrel of water,
which will prevent scatting of the
foliage. It should be applied with a
spray pump and fine nozzle.
In case bordeaux mixture is used
on the tree the Paris green may be
added directly to that solution at the
rate already recommended.
