A NEW WORMN.
II Has Made its Appearance in Kentucky
Doing Much Damage.
chair first


Doing Much Damage
A new worm has sprung into existence
IN kentucky which threatens to do more
damage 10 farm and garden products
than either the cut worm or its more
destructive brother, the army worm.
The latest addition to the worm fam
lily closely resembles both the above
mentioned species, and the only way
farmers and gardeners have of distin-
gushing it is in the manner it has of
attacking vegetation, (which is entirely
different from that of either of the other
worms.
The new enemy to vegetation is fitting
rival to either the cut or army worm.
It's manner of travel is similar to that Of
the army worm but very unlike that
of the cut worm. When the vege-
tation in one field has been devoured
the new conner does not lie down and die,
but marches on like the army worm to
another field and renewS his attack on
vegetation. How long he will sojOurn in
these parts is a matter that is being dis
cussed and talked over by every farmer
in the state.
About two weeks ago the new worm,
which has not been named as yet, first
made it's appearance. The early corn was
just peeping OUT of the ground, and the
cabbage, lettuce and onions had just
been transplanted. Glover was looking
fine and oats never looked better. If Mr..
Worm observed the condition of crops
before he began his depreda'ions it was
only for short time in order to make
his plans for attack. He first tackled the
young corn and garden products. He
did not do like the cut worm-bite the
stalks off at the ground-but climbed to
the top and ate his way down. On every
stalk there were several worms, aud it
took but short time TO completely de-
YOUR an entire field.
As soon as all the cabbage, onions,
corn and other garden products had been
destroyed he turned his attention to new
oats and clover. Today there is hardly
p field of clover or oats in the state, and
certainly none in Jefferson county. But
the worm is rot gone. 1t is here in as
great numbers as ever and seems to be
waiting for vegetation to peep from the
ground.
4 strange thing about the new worm
is that it will not touch grass. Army
worms like grass as well as anything else,
and this is one way the farmers have
of distinguishing their new enemy from
this species. 1t is not possible that the
army worm has suddenly lost its taste
for grass.
The damage that has been done by
this new enemy cannot be told. Early
crops never looked better than they did
| before his arrival, and the farmers and
gardeners h Id reasons to believe they
were going to have prosperous year.
| but their hopes have vanished, and moth
| ing but sadness and long faces can be
found in the country They have dug
| bitches between their fields IN hopes of
| checking the progress of the worms, but
| they have traveied in such numbers
| that the bitches soon fill up and the
'wrigglers'' crawl on the backs of their
brothers. They do not stop until a new
field is reached, when they again begi n
their deadly attacks.

COMPULSORY VOTjRc.

A bin has been introduced in the leg
islatuye of a northern state to make Vot-
ing compulsory on the part OF citizens
Ills idiotic to suppose that men can De
made patriotic by legislation, and that II
citizens can be compelled to vote they
can also be compelled to part their hair
in the middle. Such a law instead OF
bringing voters to the polls would make
them stay away, because the average
American has great regard for what he
considers as his rights, and when law
is passed. and be is told that be has to do
a certain thing, whether he wants to 90
it or not, that moment he stands on his
dignity and kicks with all the fury OF an
untamed mule, and in nine cases out OF
ten with disastrous results to the law
which he believes to be an infringement
upon his liberty as citizen.
u Whether man shall vote or stay away
from lie polls is a matter which has
heretofore been left to his own election,
and It will be better if the bill is allow
ed to ole.
What is the Indian good forP Uncle
Sar has been trying to solve the PROB
lem, but the ISOLATION is evasive. In AT
iona they say the Indian makes a splen-
did corpse, and nothing else even ap-
preaching good. But it must be conced-
ed that no makes consistent and per-
sistent ward of the nation" The gov
eminent has been trying to make SOL
der of him, but is likely to abandon the
effort. The two remaining Indian com
panies are shortly to be consolidated and
a lot of the worst material dropped. A
few years ago there were number OF
Indian companies in the army in the
west. The civilized methods of warfare
do not appeal to the redskin.
The New York legislature has passed
a novel kind Of jury reform bill. 1t
provides that citizens who vote shall not
be called upon to do jury duty until all
those citizens who do not vote have been
called, 1t even tempts men to become
informers by. giving them exemption
from jury duty if they give to the court
the name of CITIZEN who did not vote at
the last preceding election. This bill is
somew hat in line with Senator Hills
idea that citizen entitled to vote should
in some way be punished if he does not
do so. unless his reasons are satisfact ry.
The cbeapening of newspapers cannot
