The Army Worm.

Few insects are more dreaded by
the American farmer than the army
worm. Although it becomes destruc-
tive in a given locality only at rare in
tervals, it then does great damage to
cereal and forage crops, feeding es-
peclally upon the members of the
great grass family. The parent in
sect is light brown moth which de-
posits eggs in grass lands. The young
worms hatch soon after and feed upon
the grass leaves, growing slowly for
about five weeks. The army worm is
then about an inch and half long and
is striped with brown. The full grown
army worm burrows short distance
into the soil, where it changes to q
pupa, and again two weeks later it
changes to a moth, like the one which
laid the eggs. It is only when these
insects become extraordinarily abun-
dant that they move from field to
field in armies. At such times, how
ever, they do great damage.
Probably the measure that is most
generally useful in preventing out
breaks of the army worm is that Of
burning over grass lands in fall, win
ter or spring. Large numbers of the
insects may thus be destroyed. The
migration of the worms from field to
field may be prevented by plowing
deep furrows with the perpendicular
sides away from the worms, or by SET
ting long boards on edge, leaning a
little toward the worms, and smearing
the upper edge with coal tar. The
herbage ahead of the moving army
may also be busted or sprayed with
Paris green or some other poison.

The old preacher was sitting in his
door, his coat of, thinking dreamily
of his unwritten sermon. A vehicle
drove past, but he was still in the
clouds.
"Will you please step over to the
church, sir?'' startled the preacher
from his reverie, and he hustled on
his coat and hat, wondering what the
gentleman could want at the little old
church.
When he entered the church, he
found the sexton talking with gentle
man and lady.

riage ceremony" said the gentleman
to the astonished preacher; and he
handed him a card with the names of
John Wallace and Annie Harvey writ
ten on it.
The old preacher laid aside his hat,
and, brushing down his white locks.
walked to the desk, followed by the
others. The school children, seeing
strangers in the church with the
minister and sexton, gathered round
the door, and whispered to each other
their curiosity at this unusual sight.
In few solemn words the old
minister pronounced John Wallace
and Annie Harvey man and wife, then
gave them his blessing and kissed the
bride. John Wallace kissed her also,
and as he did so was told in q whis.

The old sexton, forgetting that he
had rung his midday peal, set tae bells

looked out in wonder.

helped his wife into the carriage.
''Yes-our own wedding bells"
was the happy answer.

It is curious that while nearly all
the royal women of Europe are excel
lent and picturesque horsewomen, few
of the reigning monarchs are even
tolerably good riders. His crippled
arm partly excuses the German
emperor's poor seat. The king of
Italy if famous for his falls; the
emperor of Russia is not an expert
horseman; while the kings of Sweden,
Greece and Denmark are seldom seen
astride, and the king of Portugal is
too stout to enjoy riding.

Corncrib and !:uShel CrateS.

The first thought that comes into
ones mind in building a corncrib is,
where is the nearest convenient place
to the place of feeding? Second, to
build q crib that can be kept free or
nearly so from rats and mice, for thoy
not only eat the corn, but they make
the corn they do not eat unfit to he
fel. have seen corn that has been
taken from a crib where rats and mice
have been that horses would refuse to
eat. When mice oace get harbor in
II corncrib they breed very fast and
cause great waste of corn. [ here de-
scribe a corncrib aud one that | think
very good. The place to build is on
the side of the hogpen. if the hog
pen and corncrib are both built Mt the
same time they may be under one
roof. Have the alley in the pen on
the side of the crib. Have an open
ing the whole length of the bottom OF
partition between the co:ncrib and
hogpen, and wide enough to let the
cora come out sufficiently to shovel.
Have the shovel and basket or crate
handy. If the place OF feeding is in
the hogren tie corn is right there.
If the feeding place is in the hogyard
at the back of the pen, make door in
the back end of the alley. By taking
the corn from the bottom of the crib
all the corn is stirred which keeps it
from moulding, if soft, and rats and
mice will smother TO death if they get
in the crib. Be sure to have the crib
so fixed that the corn can be emptied
into it from crates, for bushel crates
are a necessity Oh every farm, IN
handling corn, potatoes, roots and
apples. They can be bought ready
made or the material con be bought
and nailed together on Amy days.
In husking corn, put it ill the crates
as husked. It will dry out much
quicker and will save picking, and
then it is not on the ground to get
wet aud dirty when it rains. In pick
ing up potatoes with crates set them
on q sled made one crate wide and six
or eight crates long. Hitch a horse
to the sled. Go between two rows OF
dug potatoes, pick up from both sides
of sled. If the potatoes are to be
sorted put the small potatoes in the
middle crate. The potatoes can be
stored away in the cellar in the crates,
then there is no picking ont of bin
when ready to sell. Soft cora can
also be kept in the crates when it will
not be kept in the rib.-Burton

Perkins was continually in the way;
vet Perkins was, to use the plain but
expressive language of John Wallace.
IAN internal fool, still, none the less
troublesome for that
But John Wallace was in love for the
first time in his life, and he was not a
man to let trihes or simpletons stand
long in his way if he could help it.
So he perseve:ed in his wooing, and
at last thought he might venture to
propose to that most tickle lady, Annie
Harvey.
Moreover, his business demanded
his speedy return, for he was yet too
poor to afford any long vacation. He
found Miss Harvey on the veranda
busy with crochet or some other femi-
nine employment. He invited her to
ride; but Mrs. Perkins reminded her
of a prior engagement. Mr.. Wallace
expressed his regret, for it was his
last day at the beach. That informa-
tion seemed to startle Miss Harvey,
for she at once laid aside her work,
and, saying she would be happy to
