The Fail web-woru.


The Latin name of this worm is
Hyphantria Guinea. The Colorado Ex-
pertinent Station gives the following
description Of this insect: This Is
yellowish or brownish caterpillar with
a black head, that forms q large loose
web or tent in great variety of trees.
beginning to appear about the first OF
July and continuing through the sum-
mer. The larvae are rather sparsely
covered with long hairs that are whit
lsh or yellowish in color, with occa-
sioaal black ones for variety. This in
sect is readily distinguished from the
lent caterpillar in habits, as the larvae
OF the Fall web-worm form q very
loose tent with which they inclose the
leaves upon which they feed, and they
40 not appear until the Tent caterpil-
lars have nearly or quite disappeared.
IN the illustration "a" and 'b" are full
grown larvae showing light and dark
forms: &C" is the chrysalis; Cd is the
moth, showing dark spots. All are
some enlarged. The lines show the
actual length. Usually the moths are
entirely white.
Remediss.-1f the webs are noticed
when small they should be cut out
and the larvae destroyed. If the web
has become large. enclosing many
branches OF the tree, it may be better
to burn out the web with a torch.

Keeping squa.he. in Winter.

From Farmers Review: It is a
common complaint of people who grow
squashes for winter consumption that
the fruits will not keep for any length
OF time after removal from the field to
the vegetable cellar. Sometimes this
trouble may be in the choice of varie-
ties, but this seems to be seldom the
case, since even the old reliable Hub
bard is complained of as much as the
rest. Generally the fault rests with
the grower. who, busy with other de-
tails. allows his hardy" vegetables to
lie in the field long after they should
be in the cellar; grumbling. when he
does remove them, because these I'M
wieldy things must be left until it's
most too cold to work outdoors"
From our experience and observation
we think 1t safe to say that a frost
that will kill a melon, pumpkin or
squash vine will also have some harm
full effect upon the fruit it bears, par
tcularly II the squashes or melons or
pumpkins are not fully ripe. At any
rate we find that these fruits when re-
moved from the vine to the cellar be.
fore vine-killing frost has touched
them will keep better than those al
lowed to remain after the plants have
been killed. In many cases immature
specimens. II not too young. and II
gathered before the frost, will keen
better than ripe ones gathered AFTER
ward.
We have found that gathering all tho
fruits at one time and sorting them
according to their stage of ripeness IL
the best plan. The fully ripe ones ars
stored at once; the immature ones laid
together in a sunny place where they
can be covered at night and exposed
during the day. They are allowed to
remain here until the approach Of
severe weather. when they, are taken
to the cellar. Here we put them in
the warmest place, provided 1t be dry.
and allow them to continue ripening.
Our home supply. principally imma-
,ture specimens. is stored around the
furnace. bricked-up affair that IL not

than the rest Of the cellar. We use
the ripest nrst and thus prolong the

<hole plant; b. cross section Of seed pod
both one.third natural size
dated, and, as the walls are stiff and
thin and very resonant. they make ex-
cellent miniature rattles when the
seeds have become detached from their
fastenings inside the pod. The rattle
box Is native in low sandy soils from
the Atlantic westward to Minnesota
and eastern Kansas. It is also found
IN New Mexico. 1t is common in Con-
necticut, New Jersey and North Car
DINA, and in some years is very abund-
ant In bottom lands along the valley
of the Missouri, in South Dakota and
Iowa.
The poisonous constituent is I'M
known. but IL resides both in the
leaves and in the seeds. Horses, and
sometimes cattle, are killed by eat
ing grass mixed with the plant. They
are not poisoned so often by eating
the plant in the fields. Public atten-
ton was first called to the poisonous
nature of the rattlebox by DR.. Stalker
OF Iowa, who, in 1884, while investi-
eating the cause of bottom disease"
then prevalent among horses in Iowa,
was led to believe that it was mostly
II not altogether. attributable to this
plant. Experiments were made that
proved the supposition to be correct.
The percentage Of rattlebox in
meadow hay will be much reduced il
the fields are burned over when the
seeds mature the preceding summer.
The growth of perennial grasses will
not be materially affected thereby.

room tomorrow If the decision of
the court be against the defendants,
the case will once more take its course
in the Court of Quarter Sessions; if
the court grants the writ of certiorari,
as prayed for, the case may be trans
ferred to another court or one of the
justices of the Supreme Court itself
may be assigned to sit as trial judge.
In any event, the decision of the
court is generally expected to practice

States Senatorial succession.
The senior Senator declined to dis
cuss the case to-day, and his lawyers
were quite as reticent.

Hong Kong January 6.-The news
papers here publish the following dis
patch from Iloilo, evidently from FIJI
ipino source:
when the Americans arrived at Ilo-
Ito they found absolutely no footing up
on the part of the Filipino forces OF
conduct of any kind unworthy of civil
liked people. In conformity with their
agreement with the Spaniards, the Fill
ipinos entered Iloilo in an orderly
manner and formally hoisted the Fill
ipino flag. The Americans found a
good government established and meet
ing with the complete approval of the
foreign residents. The postofice, GUS
toms and other departments were
working smoothly under the entire con-
troll of the Philippine natives. This
disposes of the allegations of the incli-
nation of the Filipinos to loot and kill.
The Filipinos occupied Iloilo on the
same humane principles which have
guided their actions against their
Spanish oppressors.
The correspondent adds that the re-
ports of an opposition republic having
been established are refuted by the
fact that the governor and general COM
handing at Iloilo have assured the
American delegates from the warships
that they could settle nothing without
orders from the national government
at Malolos.

A royal salute was fired and the ma
tional anthem was prayed. Directly
after the warrant had been read the
Earl of Elgin and Lady Elgin and
their immediate party left government
