add the caution that the caterpillars
now found in the nests are in many
cases very minute creatures that only
an entomologist with microscope
can satisfactorily pick out. Our pic
ture is copied from one of the publi-
cations of the Massachusetts board of
agriculture. which gives also this de-
scription of the winter nest:
Each web is composed of a tenaci-
GUS silk hibernaculum, inclosing leaves
from which the epidermis has been
consumed, although the outer leaves
on the web may not have been at
tackled. The webs are firmly attached
to the twigs by stout bands of silk.
Almost invariably the web commences
where the egg cluster was deposited.
and remains of it can usually be found
on or in each web. Exit holes some
times remain open on the webs
throughout the winter, but as a rule
they are closed by the mating to-
gether of the web under the influence
of rain. The web consists internally
of numerous layers of silk. inclosing a
great many small, irregular silk-lined
chambers, which are often connected,
and contain from six to fifty larvae.

incubation of CIover.-Clovers do
not always grow as readily or as Wig
orously as might be expected from the
richness of the soil. In recent years
1t has been discovered by scientists
that the growth of plants of this class
(olovers, peas and beans) is dependent
to some extent on the presence of
small nodules or punches on the roots
These nodules contain bacteria which
in some mysterious way assist the
roots in taking up food from the soil.
II these bacteria are not present in
the soil the clovers will be likely to
make poor growth-indeed alfalfa may
not make any growth. If the proper
kind of bacteria are supplied and the
iroculation of soil and root is success
full the plants will show extra vitality.
Cultures containing these bacteria
have been sent out to farmers from
the Ontario Agricultural college for
the past four years, with directions
for applying to the fields that are be-
ing seeded with clover Last season
300 farmers reported that their al
falfa crops had been benefited by the
application while 140 reported that
there was no gain. With alsike clover
the reports were equally favorable
