or oblique markings; head. long. shin
ing red or browng, head and anal
segments armed above with "A horny
plate, darker than the remainder of
the body. On each segment are six or
eight dark colored humps, each bear
ing a hair. When disturbed the worms
curl themselves into a ring. There are
upwards of three hundred species; one
of the most common aud destructive is
the greasy, or black cutworm.
The larva Gig. u or worm, when
full grown is about an inch and half
long, dull red brown color, with five
paler stripes running along the body,
the under side of the body being pale
greenish yellow.
The moth Zig. ~ has dark fore
wings with blush tinge on the front
border and with a rk-brown lance
shaped mark running from the pos
terror portion of the kidney-shaped
spot in the middle of the wing. Hind
wings pearly white and semi-trans-
parent. There are two broods and the
moths are on the wing from April to
October
The natural enemies of cutworms are
various species of parasitic and preda-
ceous insects, birds like the robin,
blackbird. catbird and poultry, aud
animals like the skunk and mole.
Among artificial remedies we name
preventive measures. a handful of
salt on the surface of the plant hill, to-
bacco dust about the stem of plant, pa
per, burdock or walnut leaves wrapped
around the stem of the plant, paper or
tin tubes slit at one side slipped over
the stem, or busting dry powder like
hellebore, air-slaked lime, ashes and
pyrethrum about the stems and ON the
foliage of plants
Among destructive measures we name
early fall blowing which covers up the
feed of the young worms and leaves
them to starve, late fall and winter
blowing which exposes them in their
winter quarters to perish dipping
plants to be set in solution of helle-
bore tone pound TO ten gallons of wa
teri, or paris green tone ounce to eight
gallons of water. digging out worms by
hand where plants have been cut by
them.
An effective method of saving a
crop from their ravages is by poisoning
them before the plants are set or crop
like corn comes up. TO do this. grass,
clover, cabbage or turnip leaves are
dipped in paris green water and seat
tered in small handfuls over the gar
den or field A stone or piece of wood
laid on it will keep the poisoned trap
from drying out or blowing away.

transportation is thoroughly equipped
and ready to handle ten times the daily
bulk that has yet been received ON the
grounds.
Preliminary estimates give thirty
thousand car loads as the probable
amount of exhibits that must be re-
ceived, unpaclIed ana installed before
May l. Up to date only four hundred
ear loads have been received. There
are sixty working days left. IL. from
no y on, five hundred car loads of OK
hibits should be received each day the
last exhibit would not be installed
until the evening before May 1. IL is
highly important that the transporta-
ton department should not be over
crowded at the last moment, and that
is why exhibitors have been asked to
come early and avoid the rush.
The different state exhibits are rap
idly appro lching completion and it is
safe to predict that this part of the
great exposition will be in order for
the opening day.
Great efforts are being put forth TO
make the agricultural displays bril-
liant success. Each state is wing with
the other in this department, and the
brisk competition for supremacy in the
matter of display will be productive of
some rare and novel features.
Missourians are all in a glow of en-
thusiasm over the states exhibit. Now
that installation has been begun they
can see the benefit that will accrue to
them if their display is generous in it's
proportions, and are iaboring accord
ingly. One of the features of their dis
play win be a statue of George Wash
ington built of cereals, and another
win be an agricultural pagoda con-
structed of products of the field. sur
mounted by globe bearing a model of
the Santa Maria, Columbus ship and
bearing upon the several sides figures
symbolical the discovery of the new
world

have something typical of the old Eng
fish tavern, and, as the great White
Horse Inn is best known the world
over, it was selected as the most appro-
pirate. But in order to accommodate
and feed large number of people it
was impossible TO reproduce every fea-
ture of the ancient structure. Conse-
quently the interior arrangements are
almost entirely modern in style.
Over the main entrance is to be
placed the statue of white horse cast
from a model made by Leopold Bonet,
the French artist. However, some of
the interior features slightly modified
and improved viii be retained. For
instance, the original building had an
open court in the center into which
stage coaches were driven To unload
and receive passengers. That feature
appears in the duplicate, but the
ground floor, paved with brick, will be
utilized as a grill and smoking-room
for gentlemen. At the second story
this open space will be surrounded by
a balcony ten feet wide with the roof
extending down over it, supported by
pillars and having an ornamental rail-
ing of old rustic work running around
the four sides This balcony will be a
pleasant place for visitors who like To

The term cutworm is very loosely
used, being often applied to the larvae
of the June bug, which cut grass roots,
to the vie worms, the larve OF the
swapping beetles, and even TO the
borers that cut channels in woody
plants. The term eutworm is princi-
pally confined by entomologists to
larvse of the owlet moths (Nocfusdal,
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 10y 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
