ALL ABOUT CUTWORMS.

Description of the Pest, Its Habits, and
How to Exterminate 1t.
The term cutworm is very loosely
used, being often applied to the larve
of the June bug, which cut grass roots,
to the wire worms, the larvae of the
swapping beetles, and even to the
borers that cut channels in woody
plants The term cutworm is princi-
pally confined by entomologists to
larv@ of the owlet moths (Noctmde),
that have the habit of hiding just
under the surface of the ground during
the day and feeding upon the roots.
stems or leaves of plants by night
When the larvae climb high and feed
upon the foliage of tall plants or trees,
they are called climbing cutworms.
The cutworms may be known by the
following general characters: The
moths known as dart moths or owlet
moths are deltoid or triangular in
shape when the wings are closed, and
usually fly at night, and often enter
rooms, being attracted by the light.
The worms when full grown measure
from one to two inches in length, have
sixteen legs, thick bodies which taper
somewhat at the ends, without hairs
and greasy looking, brown gray or
greenish with indistinct longitudinal

A RAT RAILROAD,
Dourors Wonderful Exhibition of Trained
Rodents.

DouroIs w WONDERFUL Exhibition OF Trained
Rodents.
There was recently in Paris, a Rus
sian, by name Dourof, who is supposed
to know more about the nature of rats
than any other man living. He has
made business of training them to do
queer things, and at the same time has
carefully studied their habits and ways
A reporter who visited him and his
two hundred and thirty free and or
binary uncaged rats found him in the
act Of exhibiting his ''rat railroad" 1t
consisted Of a narrow track laid in a
circle, upon which were three passen-
ger cars large enough to hold five or six
rats apiece, a baggage car, and pretty
little locomotive.
Close to the track was small painted
wooden house, which served as sta
ton There were switches and other
railroad paraphernalia.
Presently cage was brought in which
contained considcra BILE number of rats.
Dourof clapped his hands together three
times, and all the rats came tumbling
ont of the cage and swarming into and
about the little station.
He clapped his hands again and half
a dozen black and sleek rats-very re-
spectacle, corpulent fellows-climbed
into the first car, which was q first
class coach.
Once more Dourof clapped, and half a
dozen black and white rats, quite regu-
larly marked, got into the second class
car, while an indiscriminately marked
and rather disIcputable looking COM
pany scrambled into the last car, which
was third class
A black rat, who did duty as the sta
ton master, promenaded up and down
on the platform of the little house,
while two or three small white rats
dragged some little trunks into the bag
gage car. These were the baggage
smashers."
A whistle was heard, the engineer rat
climbed upon the locomotive. and a
switchman rushed to the switch. Again
the whistle sounded and the train
moved off around the track.
The training of the rats to the per-
Torrance of this feat was, NJ. Dourot

liberated, and had quickly found the
bread.
Little by li:tle they had been trained
in this way to enter the proper car.
The locomotive was operated with clock
