namely the Bombycidal. The moth is
very large and very handsome The
prevailing color is duslSy reddish brown,
ornamented with dull red, drab, black
and white. The larvae will eat great
variety of vegetation, thus, perhaps,
proving less destructive than would be
the case if the attack was confined to
their rapid growth and great size they
require an enormous amount of food,
soon stripping branch of its leaves
and even defoliating whole trees. In
parts of Nebraska and Dakota they
became, at one time, quite serious
pest.
Among the food-plants of cecropia
may be named willow, apple, plum, box
elder, hazel, currant, mountain ash,
hickory, cottonwood and maple. 1t is
one of the easiest insects to rear, and
has, perhaps, more than any other
sreci1s, turned the thoughts of people
to the beautiful science of entomology.
The ground color of all of the above
mentioned larve is usually green,
though brownish specimens of Phi
lampelus are not unfrequent. This last
has six cream-colored spots on each
side, in each of which is spiracle or
breathing pore. Innumerable tiny cir
Giles are scattered irregularly over the
body, more thiclily on the sides. The
rings of the body nearest the head are
enlarged and when disturbed it draws
back its head until it is on level with
these segments Its length is nearly
three and onr-half inches.
Dcilephila has nine large spots on
each side of The body and horn at the
rear end.
Phlegethor THUS also has curved
horn and geries of diagonal lines on
each side of the body, the lower ends
joining a line that extends lengthwise
just below the spiracles. Cecropia is
larger than any of the preceding, being,
when of full size, nearly four inches in
length. 1t is srnamented with knobs
or tubercles Of yellow, red and blue
which are studded with short points OF
spines. Unlike the preceding larv9
too, which enter the ground to pupate
cecropia spii,s a dense, firm cocoon OF
rather coarse silk on the stem OF
branches OF the food plant from which
it receives its nourishment. - Prairie

The best thing to do
is this when you're suffering from
Sick or Bilious Headaches, Consti-
patton, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks,
or any arrangement of the Liver,
Stomach, or Bowels, get something
that relieves promptly and cures
permanently. Don't shock the sys-

(but that's great thing), and the

They're the best, for ;ney work

They're the cheapest, for they're

ABOUT CULTIVATION.
II Is Wise 10 Begin the Work Early and
to Do 1t Thoroughly.

W 10 II
Cultivation is given to kill out weeds,
to keep the soil fine and mellow so AS
to induce good root growth, and tn
render plant food in the soil available
for use by the growing plants.
Cultivation would, therefore, be nee.
essary if there were no weeds, but it is
an exceptional case when keeping
down the weeds is not fully as impor-
tant as keeping the soil fine and mel
low.
Weeds are most easily destroyed
when small and this is one of the adj
vantages of early cultivation. In all
soils there is more or less latent plant
food that is not in an available condi-
tion to be used by the plants. Subject
ing the soil to the influence Of light and
air aids materially to render this avail
able and the finer the filth and the
more frequently it is stirred the better
the opportunity for this action.
One very important item with all
plants is to secure vigorous start to
grow. If in the early stages of growth
the plant, from any cause, becomes
stunted, too often treatment will en-
tirely eradicate the effects. With Wig
orous start a thrifty growth may be
readily maintained early. Thorough
cultivation is an important item in Sc
curing vigorous start to grow. The
object should be to keep the soil
| fine and mellow at the least out
lay of time and labor, and the i'm
plement that will do this best is the one
that should be used. Generally it is
not necessary or best to stir the soil to
any considerable depth. Taking one
season with another deep blowing with
shallow, level cultivation will give the
best results, but in doing this it is inn
portant that the cultivation should be-
gin early. If properly prepared before
planting, it is less work to keep the
weeds down and the soil in good con-
started and the soil run together and
then attempt to cultivate Another adj
vantage of thorough work at the start
is that much better opportunity is of
fered for root growth. The plants get
ting well established early viii be IN a
much better condition to withstand a
drought, should one set in later on.
No set rules can be laid dom as to
when the cultivation should begin, how
many times it should be repeated, how
long it should be kept up and what inn
plement is the most economical to use.
The season, the character and condition
of the soil and the growth of the plants
must largely determine this What
will be best at one time will not be
best at another. But one rule can al
ways be followed, and that is to begin
early and do the work thoroughly. st.

A CRAFTY DEER.
The NJ .thod BY Which q Wary Old Stag
Escaped Pursuit.

Deer have learned wonderful cunning
from eheir hardships in the chase.
Sometimes 6 wary stag, started up from
his covert, win run into another leafy
haunt where young animal has taken
refuge, and turn him out, lying down
in his place, no doubt hoping with all
his painting heart that the hunters Will
not know the difference. Hurried forth
from that resting place, he then doubles
and turns, and perhaps takes to the wa
ter, not only as solace for his heated
blood but to throw the hounds off the
scent One old stag, mentioned in
"Forty-fve years of Sport" had even
more advanced ideas than these.
For many years past LORD Lovat had
been trying to hunt down this stag,
nicknamed Square Toes" but as the
animal had extraordinary cunning, 1T
was fifteen years before he succeeded
in getting a shot at it. At last, one
day, when he and his stalker were in
hot pursuit of Square Toes and his
several kinds, the animals assembled a
hill, and as they reached the skyline,
the kinds alone seemed to cross it..
Again the old strategist had mysteri-
ously disappeared.
The stalker took down his glass and
shut it with slap, and Lord Lovat,
equally Disguised, resigned himself to
the usual situation. Among the men
present, however, was new hand, who
declared bashfully. that one OF the
binds, in going over the skyline, APP
peared to have three ears.
"My lord" cried the stalker, joyfully,
IN hearing the remark, lyon stag is
with the kinds; we'd better be going
However, Lord Lovat had seen no
reason for believing the stag to be there,
and still hesitated.
There's no time to be lost" insisted
the man. Come, my lord. let us be
going!"
"But how on earth DO you make that
out?" asked his master.
"Well my lord" replied the man, ''ii
you will be starting, to save time, l will
tell you as we go. When you get to the
top of the hill we shall see Square Toes

third ear was brow antler, and tho
:anuy beast has all this time been do
Ing us by throwing his horns on hi'
back, and getting in among the kinds
when going over the skyline"
Over the hill they rode, and found the
clever stag placidly feeding. Sad to re
late, his career as an inventor was theI
and there cut short, but his method
las probably passed on, in tradition, t.
other members of the herd.-Youth'

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
CHRONOLOGICAL NOTES.

-Four "Worms and Insects Familiar to
Most Farmers.
Four of our largest worms" are the
larvcs of Philampelus achemon, the
grape sphinx, Fig. L; Deilephila lineata,
the purslane worm, Fig. 2; Phlege-
thhnthius celeus, the potato or tomato
worm, Fig. 3, and Platysamia cecropia,
The cecropia moth, Fig. 4. Rarely do
any OF these become serious pests. On
account of their large size and the con-
spicuousness of their depredations they
can be readily seen, and fall an easy
prey to their enemies-man, birds and
insect parasites. The grape, purslane
and tomato worm belong to the family
Sphingida which includes the humming
or hawk moths. These moths are
large, dusk flying insects, that, on a
hasty glance might easily be mistaken
for humming birds. The moths of
Philampelus come forth in the early part
of July. They are grayish with the in
ner part of the hind wings pink. Dele
phila energies nearly two months
earlier than this, or during the first two
weeks OF May, and may then be seen in
the evenings lowering around the lilac
blossoms. The food-plant of Dcilephila
is purslane.
Phlegethonthius transforms into a
large gray moth. The pupa is of Gu
rious form, having its proboscis encased
in covering free from the body except
at each end where it is attached some
thing like the handle of a Jug This
handled" pupa is often found in the
earth during potato digging, where
its curious form never fails to at
tract attention. Fig. 4 belongs to an
other family of night-fying moths,
