"The failure to employ modern methods of lightening labor inside the house is a great hardship on many farms. Thoughtfully planned, conveniently arranged, and carefully constructed buildings are as essential in the country as in the city. Plumbing is becoming a necessity, not only for comfort and convenience, but even more for health and cleanliness; and the proper disposal of the wastes of the household should not be neglected."--Page 3.

"The codling moth or apple worm and the apple scab have no direct relationship except that both attack the apple and are, respectively, the chief insect enemy and the chief fungous disease of this fruit. Both are, however, subject to practical control by sprays, which being necessary at the same dates, in the main, can be combined in single applications, and it is for this reason that they are considered together in this bulletin. A brief life history is given of the codling moth, with a description of the sprays and other remedies for it, followed by similar matter on the apple scab. The bulletin concludes with a joint consideration, for both pests, of spraying outfits and methods, with directions for the combination of the spray mixtures, and a spray calendar" -- introduction.
