published at Vienna: THE czar
dreamed the following singular dream
He saw three COWS. one fat, one

Father John of Kronstadt. and made the
same request to him. Father John
stroked his long curly hair with his hand

The Strawberry Weeyil.
(WhiteVille NeWS.)

The work of the straw berry WeeVll
is familiar to the growers in this State.
1t has been known as pest IN TINS
region for the past four or five years
and seems to be rapidly gaining IN
numbers and destructiVeneSs. 1t is the
mature, adult insect which does the
damage, and strange as it may seem,
there are growers right in the midst
of the weevil district who lost money
from it's ravages every year for four
or five years, who have never learned
the insect sufficiently to recognize it
positively. The adult beetle is a little
larger than the head of a good sized
pin and more elongated, of course
1t is of chestnut brown color, and
has on each side of the body a black
spot which is surrounded by a. gray
border. From the head there pro-
trudes a snout of a little more than
oDe-haf the length of the body. There
are any number of other beetles of
about the same size, but the spots, one
on each side of the middle of the back.
and the snout projecting from the
head; these two points taken together
with the chestnut brown color will
enable any intelligent. keen-eyed per-
son to recognize it with certainty. The
