have long considered quack grass
the worst weed that vexes the tiller Of
the soil. It is because It holds it's own

chance. and chiefly because the farmer
does not recognize it until it Is scat

the pillow, harrow. and cultivator from
one end Of the field to the other. To

DESTROYING the CuTW OR N
BY F. I. WAsHBURN.
By F. L. WAsHBURN.

Cutworms are the larval forms OF
moths belonging to the family known
as Owlet Moths. The first name was
given this family because they are
particularly night-fyers, most Of them
remaining concealed during the day;
and the second name. on account Of
the fact that their eyes shine at night.
in the presence Of light. to which.
by the way, many of the species are
attracted.
Both the moths and their larvae are
fond of sweets: and this fact Is made
use of both by collectors IN catching
the moths and by the farmer and
gardener in killing the "cut-worm
itself. The larvae, when full grown.
averages in length about one and one
half inches. and is as rule. dull col
ored. with or without obscure mark
ings. This full-grown larva burrows
into the soil short distance. and
turns into brownish or reddish
brown or mahogany-colored pupa.
These pupae may winter over. when
formed late in summer, or give rise to
moths in August and September. which
lay their eggs at that time on various
plants. or on the ground near their
food-plants- The larvae. which hatch
in late summer or fall. winter over in
some concealed situation. and are
ready for business in the spring.
While many birds prey upon cut
worms-and although they are eaten
by some other insects. and are the
victims of parasitic forms, to say
nothing Of diseases bacterial or fun
goid--nevertheless farmers are often
obliged to take active means against
them in order to save their crops.
A bait made of bran mash sweet
ened with cheap sugar or molasses.

very good remedy in garden. A
tablespoonful of this should be put at

browse, peas rose hips. strawberries.
and seeds of dandelion, lupins. bur
clover, black mustard and chick
weed.
From 200 to $50 kernels Of wheat
and oats were taken by various birds:
about 200 peas were found In one
stomach, but it was evident that these
were the old and partly decomposed
refuse of the harvest. Twenty-three
acrons and 200 pine seeds were taken
by the birds which ate the largest
amount Of mast. and abous 500 cap

likely to make short work Of It. or Il

question Of the economic value Of

Much depends on tho proportion Of

are about even that imported pleas

HELPING THE SOUTHERN DAIRY.
MAN

One of the most encouraging lines
OF work which the u. s. Department
OF Agriculture Is carrying on In the
South Is the institution of herd records
on dairy farms. BY this means the
improbable COW Is detected and can
be disposed Of for slaughter. The
heifer calves from the profitable cows
arc raised to take the place Of the
improbable animals. In this way the
quality Of the herd is steadily i'm
proved. The daily Weighing Of the
milk and the testing for butterfat en-
able the dairyman to feed the individ-
ual animals according to the produc-
ton and to select such feeds for the
ration as are shown to give the best
results.
The Department receives many let
ters from dairymen of the South bear
ing on the value Of this work. Mr.. j.
X. Morrison, a dairyman of Grenada,
Mississippi. writes as follows:

citation of the work done FOR me by

CANE IN THE PHILIPPINES

The growing Of sugar-cane In the
Philippines received a damaging set
back during the progress Of the late
insurrection.
Prior to that time great deal Of
good raw material was raised, and
only in very late years has the indus
try awakened with both the natives
and the government (not to mention
U. s. interests) taking an active part.
the natives furnishing the land for the
government to show them how to do
things on a grander and more up-to-
date scale.
It may be said to the discredit Of
the Spaniards, lords for SO long over
the country, that not single cane
