into the water. kThat these or similar
means for destroying the insect while in
the beetle state are the most practical
means Of preventing their increase there
is little doubt. Every female beetle thus
destroyed prevents the laying Of from one
hundred to two hundred eggs, which
produce direc tly the germs so destruc-
tive.
1t is to be feared that these pests are
rapidly increasing. 1t is certain that we
did not hear SO much of their ravages fil-
teen or twenty years ago.
TO prevent the rapid increase which it
is probable is going on, farmers in local
tiles where the pests are destructive
should unite in an action to destroy
them. BY fighting and killing the bee.

borhood Of farmers could hardly fail to
produce profitable results in the way Of
making the pests less destructive in the
future.

The White Grub.
Correspondence ofMe Free Press

The farmers in this section have SuS-
tanned great damage to their crops from
the white ground grub. The crops at
tackled by the pests have been principally
potatoes, corn and timothy. Old timo-
thy meadows on high ground are ruined,
the roots Of the grass having been sever
ed by the grubs from one to two inches
below the surface, and the same with
corn. potatoes are more or less eaten
according to the location in which they
were planted; those on the sod ground
having suffered most, and those on cul-
tivated land least from their ravages.
Can you inform us through your paper
what these grubs originate from, how
long they live in their present state, and
what is their next stage of existence? In
short we want full history Of the pests,
and a practical way of destroying them,
E. G. OWEN.
WYSOX, Pa, Nov. 5.
ANswER.-O correspondent has
touched upon very important question
and one which deserves the consideration
of every tiller of the soil, for certain it is
that the white grub is getting to be
among the most destructive of the IN
sect pests.
The destructive work of these pests is
not confined to the crops mentioned by
the writer, but garden crops also are
known to have suffered severely from
their depredations, and we have seen
strawberry beds completely ruined from
this cause.
The white grub is the larvae or grub
state of the brown beetle, which is com.
monty known as the 'May bug" 'June-
bug" or ''dor-bug," which enters our
houses attracted by the light, on warm
nights in May and June and bounces
about and knocks it's head against the
walls and ceilings in such a manner as TO
attract notice. The few that enter oul
houses denote the existence Of countless
thousands without, which frequently har-
Dor in fruit trees, especially cherry trees
The female beetles lay their eggs in the
ground, and the eggs soon hatch and be.
come the young grubs which require
three years to complete their growth
While in this state of existence they fee6
upon young roots but they do not appear
to be large enough to do great harm un
til the third or last year of their grub ex-
istence, when their WORK upon grass an(
other roots is sometimes most disastrous
Late in the summer of the third year the
grubs burroW deeper into the ground and
appear on the following spring as the
new brood of beetles; and thus the round
of life goes on, generation after genera
ton.

CHECKS AND REMEDIES,

One or the most unpleasant features
about the white grub question is that
there seems to be no human aid for the
destruction of the insect while it is in the
grub state. The only destructive agents
are the animals which kill and devour
them. OF these tile common crow is the
most active helper, and for this reason
they should be protected by law The
unpopular and odomferous skunk is an
other enemy of the grub and many of
them go toward allaying the cravings of
his appetite.
Numerous means have been employed
for destroying the beetles or bugs which
lay the eggs. In early morning when
found in small trees, they may be easily
shaken down, caught upon cloths and de-
Stroyed. Lanterns suspended or placed
over tubs Of water are sometimes sue
cessf1ly used, and the beetles attracted
by the light, come dashing against the

Southern cotton Minis.

We take tho following from the U. s.
Economist Since the war tue south has
largely interested itself, and very wisely, in
the building and running of cotton mills
Although the manufacture of textile fabrics
is yet in its infancy in the cotton producing
portions of our lsnd, tho success which ha,
thas far attended southern efforts to establish
!hi' Industry, and the spirit OF enterprise
which has been largely developed, are of the
most encouraging character, and full of the
richest promise. The great improvements
which have recently taken placein machinery,
MD the new inventions for picking and
cleaning cotton, all tend to help forward the
interests Of tho south in this direction.
The south has many facilities for the sue
cOs;iul conducting of her new manulactur.
ing enterprise. Sh6 has the cotton Mt hand;
and labor is cheaper in the south than in tho
north and east. Capital is quickly attracted
by enterprising and remuneratlve labor, and
q people determined TO hedge themselves
round about with self-rcliant and productive
industries are not discouraged ut 'lha day Of
small things" Many Of the mills Ma. have
been blilt, and more particularly tho ones
now building, arc furnished with the best
and latest improved machinery, while the
managers and superintendenti are All oat

thorough experience in the manufactures Of
