Two Personalities For Cut Worms.
Cut worms are formidable enemies
to the farm crops, especially to grasses
and grains. Few corn fields are
exempt from these pests, which also
delight to feed on the tender young
plants Of cabbage, turnips, onions and
tobacco. The secret manner in which
cut-worms prosecute this work under
cover of darkness, and often beneath
the surface of the ground, rarely per-
mits them to be detected in their
operations. DR.. J. A. Litner thinks
that more has been charged upon cut
worms than properly belongs to them.
Roots are eaten, and young blades and
shoots are cut off, and the unknown
depredatOr is pronounced cut-wOrm,
when often the depreciation proceeds
from the white grub or one of its
many allied forms. or from some spec
les of the wire-worm.
Cut-worms are caterpillars Of moths
that belong to the great family Of
notid@, which embraces a large pro-
portion of the nlght-Aylng species Of
lepidopstera DR.. Lintner, in a paper
read before thu New York State AgFi-
cultural Society, described the typical
cut-worm so as to aid in its identified
ton. When full grown they measure
from one and a quarter to nearly two
inches in length; they are sixteen
footed (three pairs of true legs and FIVE
pairs of prop-legs), thick, tapering
moderately at the extremities, naked
and greasy looking, In color they are
dingy brown, gray or greenish, with
indistinct, light and dark longitudinal
markings. The head is large, shining
and usually red or brown. When the
caterpillar is taken from the ground,
or otherwise disturbed, it curls itself
into a ring.
Cut-wOrms have many natural enc
mics, among which are the robin, cat
bird and red-winged blackbird.
Chickens are very efficient destroyers
of cut-worms in gardens. Among the
numerous preventatiVes used, DIR.
Lintner specially commends the salt
and coppeFas remedies. The salt
remedy is applied directly after the
corn is planted by sprinkling on the
hill over the covered grains about one
teaspoonful of common salt to each
hill. When copperas is used the plan
is as follows: Put the seed corn in a
tight tub or barrel and pour in enough
water to keep it well covered after It
swelIs. For each bushel of corn add
a pound or pound and a half of copper
as dissolved in hot water. Stir the
corn we'll and allow it to remain in the
copperas water for about twenty-hours.
Stir several times while soaking, then
take It out and sprinkle small guam
tity of land plaster over it.-NetO

summer months Possibly from two

that quantity of wheat bran and all
the choice early cut hay it will eat
will prove about as much as country
farmers can probably feed under or
binary circumstances. If the colt gets
too much grain or concentrated food
during the first winter its stomach
will not be properly distended, and
when turned to grass in the spring 1t
cannot eat enough to keep it in a
thrifty condition, hence its growth is
checked at a period when it is impor-
tant that it should be increased. The
feed Of colts suffer much more for the
lack Of Gaze in keeping them properly
shaped by the aid of a rasp than from
excessive feeding of grain. The feet
of every colt should be examined and
trimmed at least once a month, so as
to keep all the toes properly shortened
thus preventing undue strain to the
tendons, which in time is liable to re-
suit in serious lameness. The bottoms
of the feet should also be rasped, so as
to be kept perfectly level. It requires
some knowledge of the anatomy
of the foot to do this prop
erly, yet every farmer by examin-
ing can see when one side of the foot
is becoming twisted out of shape, and
by exercising a little ingenuity can,
with a few properly applied strokes of
the rasp, prevent defects, which, if not
arrested, are sure to detraet from the
value of the animal when ready for
the market. Most country colts suffer
more for the want of a comfortable
bed at night than from lack of feed.

lInnglng Up.side Down.

The Providence Or. Is Set9aal says :
A singular affair acSdrred in one Of the
pleasanlest homes in the suburbs ofour
city, on Friday, the relation of which
may not only be of some interest, but
also of some use to the reader A few
days ago the family physician visited
the same residence, and in the course Of
conversation mentioned that while at
tending a sick child the child had sud
denly begun to suffocate, owing to a
quantity Of mucus getting into its wind
pipe, and he had turned the child up
side down, In order to relieve it. This
story passed almost unnoticed, except by
the sister of the lady of the house. On
Friday, the family, consisting of the
husband, wife and wife's sister, were at
the table eating. Suddenly the wife
began to show signs of suffocatiOn. Her
husband resorted to the familiar remedy
of patting her smartly on the back; but
it was unavaihng. She could not speak
her face became of a purple hue aud she
was evidently at the point Of death.
At this moment her sister, remembering
the doctors story, seized her by the
ankles. The husband caught the idea
instantly, and the lady was soon in an
inverted position, whereupOn she imme-
diately coughed up the food which had
nearly caused her death. The husband
blesses himself for the story which the
doctor so casually told, without any
thought that it might help save a life.

Have Got to Meet it.

There was much interviewing of
the ministers during the recent
session of the M. E. Conference in
Cincinnati; and wherever a re-
porter found preacher, he found a
Prohibitionist. From the Tele-
grants reports we clip this declara-
ton by member of the Confer
|ence:
With Christian people this
question should not be a partisan
one, and deny that it is. Holy
writ condemns, above all sins, that
|ot liquor drinking and traffic. 1t
Is a contest, so far as they are con-
|oerned, so I think, between the
eternal principles of Christianity
an the damnable iniquities Of sin.
They have got to meet it, and in
ffeetusing to do SO, as followers of
Chrlst, will have fearful respons-
liolllty to answer for before God. To
be consistent in his belief, every
Chrlstlan man must be Prohibit
ZIONIST. Therefore, I agree with
Or. Leonard's principles, and shall
vote for him"
