NOTES FOR FARMERS.


Remedies Tor Cut worms.
Al this season Of the year cut worms

crops. especially 10 tomatoes. cabhages
and corn. Whenever sod or grassy land

cut worms The reason Of This q ia
the worms are nearly fun grown il the
spring, yet they need one good meal
before forming into pupm, . short time
after which they come forth as night
flying moths.
The life history Of she cut worms is
about this: The moths lay their eggs in
grass throughout the summer months,
and after a few days these eggs hatch
into small worms which feed upon the
grass. The worms cast Of their skin
from time to time TO accommodate their
increase in size, and during the cooler
weather Of winter 60 deeper in the
ground, being dormant for q time If the
weather is very cold. Upon the APP
proach Of spring the worms come forth
for a finishing touch Of growth and
soon form pupm In the ground just be-
low the surface. Some time after this
the moths are produced. and. after mat
Ing, She females lay the eggs for an
other brood. With most species thsra
Is thus but one brood year.
Most farmers are beginning 10 realize
the many advantages Of fall blowing,
and where sod land especially is plowed
in the fall it will greatly lessen the
number Of cut worms and other insects
on such land the following spring. A
good remedy for killing out the CUT
worms in the garden is to make up a
mixture consisting Of q quantity Of
bran or corn meal mosstened with water
- which Is added a little Paris green
and little molasses or sugar to give q
sweetish taste. It is the Paris green
that kills the worms, and this should
be very thoroughly mixed with the
bran so as to have a uniform mixture.
A spoonful Of this mixture should be
