Suggestions for Preventing the Invasion
Of the Amy Worm,
Department Of Agriculture.
OFFICE OF THE STATE BIOLOGIST,

OFFICE OF THE STATE zooLoGIsT,
HARRISBURG, PA, July 10, 1896.
Inasmuch as numerous reports have
within the last few days reached this
department from various sections Of
the state asking information as to the
best method of dealing with the army
worm, the following suggestions are
offered as a means that may be used
in combating this pest,
The fully developed worm is little
over an inch long, of gray or dingy
black color with black stripes and
narrow lines of white on back, and
the under surface is of more or less
greenish color; the head is smooth
and yellowish, with two black lines
running from top to mouth. 1t has
sixteen legs, and those from the middle
of the body are each marked with a
shining black or blackish band.
The worms when disturbed curl
themselves up like ''cut worms and
drop to the ground. They complete
their growth in about one month, at
the end of which peuod they burrow
into the ground and each caterpillar
changes TO brown pupa, from which, in
two or three weeks the moth emerges.
The female moth is said to lay about
75o minute and white eggs, and these
hatch in from eight to ten days.
TO PREVENT THEIR SPREAD.
! The best authorities recommend
the moving of wide swath around
the invaded field, then plow a deep
furrow with the straight side toward
the part to be protected, and 1T inter
! of few feet make holes with a crow
bar, or dig small pits into which the
wo ms entrapped in the ditch will fall.
| Where the number of worms is very
great and the ditch becomes partially
! filled, plow a second furrow throwing
the earth over into the first furrow
thus covering up the worms and pro
viding a second line of defense.
| Some authorities recommend the
use of kerosene sprinkled over the
worms entrapped in the ditch and
thereby destroy them, others use q
slight covering Of straw which is Sc
en- fire, and accomplish the same
result.
| 1t is also recommended that ordin
ary fence boards be set up on edge
end to end, across their path, ant
then apply a coating OF tar or kero
sene to this wooden barrier, which
checks their progress. Some entc
mologlsts recommend the spraying O
the grass ahead Of the worms witt
Paris green, thus poisoning the forage
on which they subsist. For this pur
pose one pound of Paris green to Isc
to 200 gallons of water is proper
proportion.
| The most effective method seems
to be the constructing of ditch with
the plow as stated above, cutting the
side next to the part to be protected
perpendicular, and then attending tc
| the destruction of the worms as they
are entrapped in the ditch.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The fight for
lightweight honors between Kid La
vigne, Of Sa ginaw, Mich, and Charley
McKeever, Of Philadelphia, did not
take place tonight at the Marlborough
Athletic club, Long Island City. The
club house was only haIf-f1lled when
the preliminary bout began Neither
Lavigne nor McKeever would consent
to fight unless the full amount of the
purse, which was said to be s., 500,
was placed in the hands of a re-
sponsible person. McKeever and La
vigne entered the ring, accompanied
by Announcer Harvey, who informed
those present that for reasons which
he could not divulge, the two men
could not meet tonight. He further
stated that all those present would re-
ceiVe checks as they passed out at the
door, which would be duly honored by
the Greater New York Athletic club
CCney Island, on Jan. l, on which date
the managers of that club had prom
iSed to pull off the fight, and guaran-
teed the purse. TO the surprise OF
every one, the crowd went out quietly
and there was no disturbance.

| Many NOxiOus Weeds and Beautiful
| Flowers Spread by the Wind

The usual way for seeds to be car
ried is by the wind, says ST. Nicholas
Sometimes they are so small and light
as to be easily waited by the breezes.
This is the case with the seed of the
noccasin flowers and meadow pinkS
and the other beautiful plants of our
woods and boys called orchids And
the tiny bodies, like atoms of dust
termed Spores" that answer to seed
in ferns and MOSES and toadstooIs,
are borne away by the hghtest breath
of air. But most seeds are themselves
too heavy for this. So they are oft
times provided with thin, broad wings
that carry them before the wind as a.
sail carries a boat. The pairs of keys"
that hang in clusters from the maple
trees in spring are such winged fruits
When ripe they noat SLOWLY to the
ground, or if high wind is blowing
they are carried farther from the tree
The ash has thick punches of winged
fruits much like these, but single The
elm has a thin, papery border all
around its small seeds, which makes
them quite conspicuous as they hang
on the branchlets before the leaves
come out.
Numbers of plants. have about the
seeds delicate hairs or bFistles that
take the place of wings. A dandelion
''clock' or a head of thistle down is a
bunch of seeds, each with a circle of
fine bristles on the summit. When the
seeds are ripe, along comes a breeze.
and puff! away go the seeds, hanging
from their tufts of bristles as the bask-
ct hangs from a balloon. The punches
of long silky hairs that come from a
bursting pod of nilkweed and fill the
air around have each their precious
cargo in the shape of, a small. brown
seed. The seeds that .ripen in heads
on the clematis after the handsome
purple petals have fallen long
feathered tails like slender bird plumes
that do the same work that is given TO
the silk of milkweed. The cotton
around the seeds of the willows at the
riverside and of the poplars along city
streets serves the same useful pur-
pose. Cotton itself is only bunch Of
fine white hair around the seed Ages
before men thought of spinning it and
weaving it into cloth tt was making
itself useful to the cotton plant by
helping to scatter its seeds.

BALLROOM BICYCLING.
A Novel Amusement That Has BE.
come n Fashionable Fad.

The all-conquering bicycle has had
many triumphs, but it's latest conquest
is its greatest, says the Philadelphia
Times. - Vi
1t has invaded the ball room, and
when Lord and Lady Brassey gave
their ball of the season at government
house, Melbourne, some weeks ago, a
musical ride on bicycles was an impor-
tant item in the programme. 1t was an
adaptation of the musical ride of the
Household brigade
The ladies wore cycling costumes of
pale blouSeS, with dark blue ties and
dark blue skirts. The dress Of the men
was a return to knee breeches and
stockings, and in color harmonizing
with the dresses of the ladies'
Some days before the ball rehearsal
was held in a large suburban drill
room with peculiarly appropriate envi-
ronments, for ball had been held the
night before. The floor was so highly
polished that French chalk had to be
used to minimize that dread of cyclists,
side-slipping. Both the figures and the
commands indicated a blend of the cav
airy ride and the Quadrille Although
one lady in particular came down sew
eraL times, she did 1t so deftly that
there was barely an interruption to the
movements. Another lady in a Holland
costume, turning sharply too near the
wall, was unseated, but remounted SO
quickly that only an expert cyclist
could detect that the movement was not
part of the rehearsal
We have not yet heard how the real
ride went off, the mail not having
brought the account to hand
