 Uncle Jed does not expect his Wide Awal1es to copy stories and pass them of for their own, and any book won in this way is not fairly won. It is a cheat.

The Butterfly.

If we catch a butterfly. we can see that thel colors rub off, and there is kind of dust on the hand Each specll of dust is a tiny coiored scale. These scales give the colors to the butterfiy's wings.
 First are the eggs, and they burst open. and from each comes tiny caterpillar, which at once begins to 1t and 1t eats until it can eat no Hg and it eats until it can eat no more Then it stays still until its skin bursts and then 1t creeps out. After that it starts to eat again, and then 1t is full-grown caterpillar.
 When it cannot grow larger nor eat any more, 1t fastens itself on a leaf. or some other thing. Sometimes it spins from its mouth a thread of silk. which it wraps around and around it's self Covered in this way it grows smaller and smaller
 After a time it bursts its covering. and new creature works its way out
 This stays in one place for some days, then the skin of this creature bursts open. and out cemes a butter fly.
 Its wings are so crumpled up that 1t is hard to see them. But if we watch. we shall see it move about. be- gin to spread its wings rise into the air, and then away it goes, looking like a beautiful flower,

Story of Tent caterpitlars.

Dear Uncle Jed: I suppose every one of the Wide Awakes know what the tent caterpillar is. This cater pillar is an insect and passes througt four stages fin life, first the egg. ther larva or small worm, then the pups or cocoon, and then the full growr moth.
 The caterpillar lays her eggs in the fall on a cherry, apple or peach twig covers the eggs over with g substance like shellac so that no birds will harm them, and this is called the tent caterpillar egg mass. In a single mass there is about two hundred tent cater pillars.
 This egg mass matches out in the spring along in the latter part of April, or the first part of May These caterpillars at once look for food and start to eat the leaves off the tree. This insect is a pest to the farm CTS.
 To get rid of this caterpillar spray the trees with Paris green, or arsen- ate of lead.
 I think the state has done a good thing by having the children gather the egg masses. I have gathered thousands of these masses, and shall gather more before the contest closes.
