What . Funny Namel
Very True, but II Kills All Pain
Sold Everywhere. Every Day
Without Relief, There is No PaYI
Observations Aoout The cut Worm.

The people at the agricultural experiment
station at Morgantown, have been making
some observations concerning cut-worms
this spring, attention being called to the
pests on account Of their great prevalence
and the damage they are doing. It is de-
termined that the cut.worms, after their ca
reer as such is ended, turn into grasshoppers
and as such lay eggs in the fall, from which
the cut-worm again.
Their plentifulness this spring is attributed
to the dry weather of last summer, which
was favorable for the deposit of the eggs and
for their protection. The severe weather Of
the last two winters and the work of the
hunters have made quail and turkey very
scarce, and as they feed largely upon grass
hoppers and worms they were not numerous
enough the embryonic pests.
Experimets with cut worms placed under
glass cases and fed to show that the grass
hopper theory is the correct one, and it is
believed that the grasshopper plague later
in the season will be as bad as the cul- worm
plague is at present. The cut-worms have
never been known to be worse than they are
this season.
