fury ago, IL mas now become one OF
our worst garden pests. 1t is the
common white cabbage butterfly, hav-
ing the fore wings tipped with black
marked in the male with two and in
the female with one black spot and
expanding abot two inches.
The Southern cabbage butterfly
(Pieris Protodice) is much the same
in size and general appearance, but
the markings are more numerous and
angular, giving a darker cast to espec-
tally the female. Less common is
Pieris Monste, which is larger, with a
wing eXpanse of two to three inches.
The fore wings in the male are white,
bordered with black; while the under
side of the hind wings is yellow
ochre. These are alike in matter of
life history and in manner of injury.
Wintering as chrysalids they come
forth in the spring as adults and soon
deposit eggs upon the cabbage plants.
Ere long the larvae hatch, and vora-
ciously eating the leaves of the plant,
attain their growth in two or three
weeks, when they seek shelter, trans
formed into pupae, in which they re-
main for eight or ten days, and again
emerge as butterflies and lay eggs for
another brood.
All the injury is done by the worms
which are much alike in appearance
and can be treated together. The lat
ter one is about one and one-half
inches long when full grown, while
the former are one-fourth inch short
er, and of a greenish color. Rapae and
Protodice may be easily distinguished
as the former has yellowish hue
down the back and small yellow spots
Oh the sides, while the Protidice
has four stripes with black dots,
Monste has four purphsh stripes, but
is otherwise OF a yellowish hue.
A spray of PARIS green, using one
fourth pound to a barrel of water, is
the best remedy when the worms are
too numerousfor hand picking, but af-
ter the heads have begun to form, Py-
rethrum Buhach or Persian insect
powder) will be safer as it is not pois-
onous to man, though equally effec-
tive. This can be busted, using equal
parts of the powder and flour which
have been thoroughly mixed and al
lowed to stand over night, or sprayed
with one ounce to three gallons of
water.
The larvae of Cabbage Phisia (Phi-
STA Brassicae Riley is one of the most
destructive pests, frequently strip
ping the head of it's outer leaves and
even penetrating the stalk. The
worms are about two inches long
when full grown, of a green color
with lighter, linear stripes, and may
be recognized from their manner of
"looping up when crawling. The
moth is of a dark brown color, about
one and one-half inches wide, resemb-

sect pests; for either of the latter Of
ten ruin an apparently excellent crop
in so short time as to seem miracu-
lous. Most of them have, however,
now been studied sufficiently that
from our knowledge of their life and
habits we can successfully combat
them. 1t will be the object of the
writer in this and following articles
in the Ruralist to outline the habits,
injuries and remedies for some of the
worst pests of our most important
crops in as brief and practical a man
ner as possible, trusting that they
may be of some aid to those who suf-
fer from such depredations.
Among the crops of the truck farm
tnan which few are more annoyed by
insect foes is the cabbage. It's succu-
lent green leaves are especially invit-
ing to the insects o. early spring as
hiding place.
The wavy striped flea beetle (phyl-
lotreta vittata) is one of the first to
appear in the spring, and though only
one-tenth of an inch long, us num-
bers soon compensate for size and
render it quite a nuisance.
The adults can be easily recognized
by the waving yellow stripe on each
wing cover, the rest of the body being
a shining black and it's characteristic
fea-like jump due to it's stout hind
legs. The female gnaws small holes
near the base of the stem or upper
root and here lays two or three eggs,
from which hatch the small yellowish
white larvae.
These are from one-fourth to one
third of an inch in length with a
brown head and several small dark
spots just behind it, and damage the
roots, especially of young plants
which frequently succumb to the at
tack, as if due to 'damping off" At
ter attaining it's full size the larva
forms an earthen cell and there re-
mains in the pupa stage for from two
to three weeks, when the adult beetle
appears and aJ once commences to eat
the outer tissue of the foliage, being
especially injurious to the first feshy
leaves of the young plants. Several
broods appear during a season the
number varying with the season and
latitude.
Tobacco water or powder sprinkled
on the plant forms the best repellant
to their attack. If tobacco or any
other powder Stacked lime and
ashes are benefcia1-is used, the dust
ing should be done while the plants
are yet damp with dew. But dead
beetle cannot lay eggs, and lie pest
can soon be destroyed by proper
spraying.

MOSES T0OTHACHE'S
SURE Thing,

Away up in the northern counties of
Maine there is considerable district
which was settled by the Toothacre
family. From that district they have
spread out, north, east, south and west,
till the name has become not uncommon
in those northern counties. The family
being Of a thrifty turn, have never seen
any reason for emigration, and conse-
quently are not elsewhere found.
On the top rail of the gate, then, of a
Toothacre farmyard, sat, one April
morning, Moses Toothacre and the
new hired man. The new hired man S
name was Lawson, and he came from
somewhere down country, and had been
to horse races and yacht races and bet
on both. He, consequently did not
profess religion. Neither did Moses
but Moses knew it was expected of
him in due time; wherein he differed
from Lawson. Lawson expected moth
ing. He went through life with a joy
GUS and touching responsibility
and nobody that had had experience
with him ever expected any more of
him than he did of himself. Squire
Toothacre had not yet fully exper-
fenced Lawson; so he had gone off tC

able OF lifting at least 500 pounds at
time, perhaps great deal more. This is
one of the points that are subject to ex-
pertinent When the diver locates the
treasure he has only to fix one of the, big
hooks onto it, when the man inside hoists
the load and deposits it in the car. THIS
he repeats until all has been removed.
1t has been feared that the efficiency
of the Argonaut might be interfered with
from the fact that it must work at such
a great depth. 1t goes deeper than the
diver can possibly descend. Now in this
case were a diver to venture out of the
boat he would run the risk of being crush
ed under the water, as he has no steel
hull to protect him and cannot possibly
weigh as much as the water above him.
But if this proves to be the case in the
actual operation of the boat it will be
overcome by the use of the derrick and the
graphing hooks
By a little skill in lowering the der
rick, the hooks can be lodged under the
treasure and the load hosted as well as
though the divers had placed the hooks
by hand the boat can be brought down
directly over the sunken vessel and the
divers work beneath it through the open
door.
The Argonaut was launched Aug. 10 at
the Columbian Iron Works, Baltimore,
and after little hitch in getting her into
the water she was finally fioated with
great success. She was christened by
Miriam Lake, granddaughter of the inven-
tor, and so great was the public interest
in her that a great crowd watched the
ceremony.
Not the least part of the Argonauts
work will be the bringing up of dead
bodies from sunken vessels. AS soon as
a boat goes down she will be summoned
to bring up the drowned persons and
then recover the cargo. The boat is only
nine feet wide and has length of scarce
ly thirty-siX feet. She is so small that
she can be packed in a freight car and
taken across country, or she can be oper-
ated in any lake or river.
1t is confidently expected that she will
revolutionize the work at the bottom of
the sea, even as the diver revolutionized
it when he first discovered that he could
go down inside a bell.

stumps and blue-berry bushes. Oppo-
