find the origin of the female; and the
outcome of the tent caterpillars. For
three years | worked at it and sent
him about 25 full shells to hatch out.
We each took glass jar and put some
eggs in it, | kept it in the sunshine
in the day and in a warm room at
night. In 80 days they Matched out
and spun a web. l put twig of cher
ry leaves in the jar to feed them;
they were about 5s of an inch long.
AS this experiment was in the fall, and
the leaves falling off, | changed the
feed to rutabaga leaves. In three days
they were all dead from bloat.
The next move was to take some
full-grown caterpillars and put them in
jar and fed them on apple leaves,
putting a coarse wooden cloth over the
mouth of the jar to let them have air.
In 20 days they cocooned. l then put
some wet dirt in the jar and shook
them into it. In % days they broke
out of their shells, and in 20 more
they were miller moths of four diff
ferent stripes, and grew to about IL
inches long, but | could not keep them
alive, as | did not know what they
wanted to eat, nor did it occur to me
to examine their mouths to see If they
were cutters or suckers. At that stage
| wrote to the bureau at Washington
for information, but got none, only
that | had got along further and bet
ter than the entomologist had. | soon
saw that he was like some of the heads
of other bureaus wanting me to carry
out the experiments to a finish and
make full report to them, so that
they could transcribe it into bulletins
under the beading of their respective
bureaus. At this stage | was baked
and could not get the next formation,
or find the male to see where that fe-
male came from, so | was forced to
quit.
| hope my experience may be OF
service to those parties who think
they must destroy their trees to get
rid of the caterpillars.

From time to time | have seen in
your valuable paper outcries about the
worms in the trees-pests that destroy
the leaves and the fruit; articles tell,
ing what damage they do and then
suddenly drop to the ground, but the
writer's have generally failed to des-
cribe those worms or where they orr
ginated till in your issue of May 18th,
1906, in column 3 on page 4, part OF
Mr. Walden's remarks, he gives the
proper name of one class of them, the

rid of them by spraying, but says moth
ing as to where they originate, so that
those persons he calls scared about
them can destroy their eggs. | now

the pests. 1t is somewhat lengthy, but
it will show what a man can do, and
will do, if he has the patience and
Will to search out a problem to win

In 1868 [ set out a small orchard on
my farm, and worked out at my trade
till January, 1871. By that summer
time my trees began to bear fruit. In
May, taking a look at some of my
neighbours orchards, | saw on several
trees large webs, like housespider's
webs. | noticed there was lot of live
things holding on with their forefeet
and waving their hind parts in the air.
l asked neighbor Tripp "Why don't
you get your ladder and tear them
OFF," He said, ooh, they don't hurt
the fruit; they'll soon leave, and at
picking time we just cut off that piece
of the limb" | said: ''Why don't you
see what they breed from, and destroy
it," "Eh, look for needle in hay
stack" was his answer | replied:
"You say they'll soon leave. How?
Will they spin another web or cocoon
and come out as butterflies, or VIII
they go down into the ground and
change into some other pest of a cut
worm or caterpiller?" He lost patience
with me and told me to get out!
Seeing | could get no satisfaction or
