You Must
Sleep.
If you cannot, it is due to an
irritated or congested state of
the brain, which will soon de
velope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
of unconsciousness relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore ex¬
hausted Miles’ vitality.
Dr. Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re¬
moves the congestion.
It is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev¬
ery nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as Dr. Miles’ Nervine.

mology.1 ' v,
Next to the Peach Borer, this is the
most troublesome boring Ipseot at¬
tacking the peach In Georgia. Dur¬
ing some seasons very little Injury is
occasioned by this insect, but Agriag
the season of JSftjS reports came in to
the entomologist mainly during -the
latter gart-of June and throughout
toe month ot July, from which it Was
evident that the hark beetle was more
than usually abundant in.the peach
orchards. cdees >eTe Investigated Several of these reported
thiT wen* by a member
of depart with the result
that >a became convinced of the un¬
usual numbers «f this insect. While
actual damage tq healthy trees
was not as great as nytny fruit grow
-frero led 'fi? suppose, the appear
ance of these beetles in great num
hers caused considerable alarm, which
might easily hare been avoided had
the true habits and life-history been
known., Hem**, a somewhat extensive
description is deemed advisable.
iilrtorloai—This insect is a native
European species. In the United
igrv-,u?<i ' af'- : th- -aime period
i ..dot then discovered. It has
been found In all the Eastern
states and at least as far west as Kan¬
sas- This Insect has been known to
Injure the following fruits: Plum,
chorry, apricot, nectarine, apple, pear
and quince, as well as the peach.
Habits and Nature of Injury: Early
writers usually neld to the opinion that
the fruit-tree bark-beetle would not at
tack perfectly healthy trees and some
there are who will still assert that
the first writers were correct. Their
statements, however, are not borne out
by observations made in Georgia peach
orchards, as many growers will bear
witness. F. H. Chittenden, writing In
1898, cites cases where this insect had
been known to attack apparently
healthy trees, where they adjoined old
and abandoned orchards, and J. M. Sted
map states that be has seen peach
trees, which were to all appearances
perfectly healthy, seriously attacked
by the fruit-tree bark-beetle. The
writer has upon several occasions
found the bark-beetles boring Into
sound, healthy trees. Two such Ob¬
servations were made in Maryland In
1601-1902, and la Georgia the same
thing has been observed several times.
The weight of evidence is conclu¬
sive, however, that the bark-beetles
first attack weakened and dying trees,
but often when numerous, turn their
attack to trees which are apparenly
in good health. As appropriately staL
ed by J. M. Stedman, “It is very large¬
ly a matter of opinion when one pro¬
nounces a tree perfectly healthy that
has become infested with this pest,
but no doubt one should regard a tree
as healthy when there is absolutely
no reason to suspect anything differ¬
ent except that it has now become at¬
tacked by this insect.”
Description—The adult fruit-tree
bank beetle is a small cylindrical bee¬
tle, about one-eighth inch In length,
and only about one-third as broad.
They are uniformly black In color,
except the tips of the elytra or wing
covers and a portion of yie legs, which
are dull red. The young borer or
grub—less than one-fourth Inch in
length—is white, except for the brown
head.
Winter Stage and Life History—The
winter is passed by this insect in the
larval or grub stage in their channels
under the bark. In spring, about the
middle or latter part of March, the
parent beetles eat their way out from
under the bark, making little holes
scarcely one-sixteenth of an inch in
ameter. These parent beetles soon
commence to bor e lute the trees, and;
begin the construction of an egg cham¬
ber which is nearly ifdway s formed in
the direction of the ^long axis of the
limb, or nearly so. They seem to pre¬
fer to enter at the base of the limbs,
or at the forks mai'e by the lateral
spurs, and oiten at the base of buds
near the extremet ea of the small
branches. The beet ee are frequently
found, on badly infested .trees, enter
ing th* trunk neart* o the base of the
trees. The egg chi mber Is formed
partly in the oamblui layer and part¬
ly in fte wood dtrec ly beneath. The
egg chambers vary from one Inch or
less to an inch and i hair in length,
and as it is formed n ute side pock¬
ets are constructed ach side, in

Reme
Clean Culture—As etofore stated
the bark-beetles seen v to prefer to
breed In dying trees. pereln will be
found the clew to a remedy, or more
properly speaking, prevention. should All
dead and dying trees be destoy
ed by burning during winter. Thiswork
must be done at least before toe first
of March in order to estroy all the
young borers hibernat) ig under the
bark. All adut rees—lit Is generally
supposed—die during winter, hence if
all wood containing young borers Is
destioyed, there will be practically
no borers left to re-infesjt the orchard
the following spring. Of course there
will always be a few slightly infested
trees left, and from thedi some adult
borers will develop. A small num¬
ber of adults in March ipay increase
to considerable numbers by the time
the second and third braods appear.
In addition to burning all brush and
dotto tree* during winter, the orchards
should be closely watched; during sum.
mer and when Infested t,|rees are dis¬
covered or even single infested limbs,
they should be removed and burned.
