BUTTERFLIES CAME
FROM ARMY WORM
Strange Visitation in Western
Minnesota, Solved by States
Hospital Farmer.
Special to The Journal.

special TO Inc JournaI'
Fergus Falls, Mimi, Aug. 28.-Farm-
err McFadden of the insane hospital
farm here has discovered the secret Of
the sudden appearance of innumerable
butterflies at various points in this sec
ton Of the state. He finds that they
are the army worm, fully developed.
He found this worm at work in the
oat field on the big hospital farm few
days ago, and eight acres of grain were
destroyed before the field could be har-
vested, altho the work was pushed with
all possible vigor as soon as the pest
was discovered.
The worm may not be the true army
worm, but it works very much like 1T,
and it's habits are similar, as it seems
to conceal itself under the ground in
the daytime and accomplish it's work
of destruction at night.
Mr.. McFadden has been keeping care
ful watch, and finds that the worms
turn into butterflies, after the manner
of a great many worms, and 1t is these
butterflies that have caused amazement
at different points.
The worm is not likely to appear
again for several years, and no alarm is
felt about next years crop on account
Of it, but if it had covered the country
generally, as thoroly as it did small
section Of the hospital farm, a few days
ago, and put in it's appearance before
the grain was ready to be harvested,
the northwest would have experienced
greater calamity than it did when the
rust set in in 1904.

to perfect his own peculiar processes for

The enormous popularity OF "Golden

publication of the names of the t,,gredt-

Origin of Postage stan,p.

There. are many reasons assigned to
the origin Of the postage stamp. Orig
the postage would be collected from
the person addressed. This led to some
people writing letters and putting
marks on the outside Of the envelope
which would convey meaning. These,
on being received by the addressed
could be examined, the, message trans
lated by looking at the outside of the
envelope and then refused on the plea
of no money. Mr.. Rowland Hill saw
the disadvantage of this system, and

Copper In Water Kills Germs.

In looking to the publication of the
water supply, either the local farm sup
ply or the water for a great city, re-
markable results are nounc from
the application of a new method OF
destroying micro-organisms in water,
which was discovered about a year ago
bv Drs. Moore and K~ellerman, OF the
Bureau of Plant Industry at Washing
ton. 1t consists simply in dissolving a
certain quantity of copper sulphate In
the water to be purified. Fortunately
the dilution can be made so large that
no deleterious effects are produced up
on the water intended for drinking
~urpose One part of copper sulphate
to eight million parts of water is he
proportion generally used, and 1t Is
pointed out that, in order to obtain
any effect of copper from such a mix,
ture n mar would have to drink forty
gallons of the water.
During the latter part of 1904 more
than fifty sources of water supply IN
the United States were treated by this
method with gratifying success. Not
only are dangerous bacteria thus de-
stroyed but the green growths that ire
u%uently choke up small ponds are also
eliminated. Most important OF all 1s
the promise that by this treatment The
germs of typhoid fever may be entirely
removed from any source OF water
supply.
In the ease of a lake or pond the
chemical is applied by s~uspending bags
filed with copper sulphate over the
side Of a boat while the boat is rowed
about. In two or three days the cop
