The Ont Worm.

We publish the following extract
from a paper read by T. o. Aber-
nathy before the Farmers Associa
ton June 18th, 1886, which we
trust will be of interest to our
many farmer readers.
"The perniclous insect which de-
stroyed so much of the corn and
cotton crop of our county in April
and May, belongs to a family of
cabbage cut worms of which there
are six varieties. The variety most
abundant with us, was the"Greasy"
so named from the fact that its
skin had the appearance of being
vanished or greas. The cut worm
like the cotton, silk and many 9TH
er species of worm exists in four
distinct forms the larvae or worm,
the prepu the moth and the egg.
THE LARVAE.
In this form it appears with US in
April and May and frequently as in
the present year continues his work
of destruction TIL the middle of
June. He is greedy feeder often
cutting down large fields of corn in
one night. He is not very partial
to certain varieties of food but will
cut without discrimination cotton
corn tobacco, melons, potatoes and
all kinds of garden plants. Like a
thief he prefers night for his dep
relations is seldom seen feeding in
day time but is generally found
about an inch under the soil or con-
cealed under stones. leaves and any
thing that will protect him from
light and heat. The young worm
is dark gray in color with stripes of
lighter hue along the back and
sides. This color gets ligher as
the worm advances to maturity at
which time he will measure one and
one-fourth inches In length. The
glossy skin then becomes of dull
brownish gray the worm loses its
appetite burrows about six inches
under the soil and enters the sec
ond or prepu state. In this state
the worm has encased himself in q
ball of earth about an inch In diam
eter where he remains in dormant
condition for three or four weeks
when he dofis his robe of brown
and comes to the surface OF the
earth in his third state, beautiful
dark brown moth.
Like the larvae the moth is noe
turnal and seldom seen in daytime
unless disturbed in its hiding place
When aroused it flies with quicl
darting motion and in settling sc

Slowly, surely. an awakening
To the acorn's little heart,
Till the tiny germ within it
Makes sudden, silent start.
Time goes on. You have forgotten
All atout the little she'll.
Which, as years slip into decades.
Works its secret mission well.

See what coming years can tell.

Springing from that accrn she'll

From the ground a tiny sprout;
Soon two 0id he tender sapliug,
Sending budding leaflets out
Then YOU see, as years passed onward,
What, as bOy. YOU d thrown away
Making cool and grateful shadow
For your silvered head some day.
You would see the forest growing
Round the grand old parent tree:
Hear the wOndman axe resounding,
And the busy builders see
At Their work on ship and dwelling:
See the vessel proudly glide.
Carrying a precious burden
Ger the ocean wild and wide.
