JUNE Rug.

beetles are rapacious feeders. They
appear In May and June, buzzing about
certain trees at night. 1t is not an
uncommon thing just at dusk, in May
or June, to see thousands of beetles
swarming about trees. They feed upon
the leaves, and often defoliate large
numbers Of trees. Summing up, then,
the adult of the white grub is the May
or June beetle, and that OF the cut
worm a delicate moth. Grubs usually
feed upon roots, aud remain below the
surface, while cutworms feed upon
leaves and other foliage, eating at
night and hiding during the day under
anything that will concealthem. When
these insects are numerous they are

He has also opened two other houses, one at Rome, Ga., and the other at Huntsville, Ala. His time is now de- voted to looking after his interest in these cities. He Is easily recognized today as one of the leading piano dealers of this entire section, and possibly no better salesman has ever entered the territory.

Most of the manufacturers he rep resents give him control of the entire state, which shows the confidence the fac tories have in him.
 In addition to his large piano and organ business he has the state agency for the Falcon and Crawford bicycles and the White Sewing machine. for which he is desirous of placing agents in every town in the state. He buys these goods at jobbers' prices, which enables him to sell to his agents at the same figure as if they bought them direct from the factory.
