Mr. Rumsey, who recognized the
caterpillar from the de! criptlon given
IN The West Virginian of Monday sent
a copy Of the Bulletin of the Agrlcul
tural Experiment STAT N OF West Vir
ginia University date April l, 1908,
which contains the fol owing reference
to this same worm:
"The bagworm, ~ yridopteryX ephe.
meraeformis.-This peculiar insect has
caused some ALARM in certain sections
Of the state durin' recent years. They
have appeared il ( .eat numbers on ap
pie and other III It trees. and a fear
has been felt thy they might prove 70
be a serious or; lard pest. 1t is IA
tive species, Z lweycr, whose habits
are well know :, and Judging from the
past, it is not likely to do serious dari'
age to any s es except evergreens.
1.-THE lif.y .lstory Of the species Is
about as III ows. 1t winters in the egg:
stage in y old female bag. In spring
the youls matches and begins at once
to feed the nearest leaf, construct
ing ni3 while q case to cover its own
body, Il The case is composed OF web
and 7 is OF stick and is carried by the
ca1 ,illar wherever 1t goes. AS the

y ed, and when growth is completed
attaches the bag to twig by a

male energies as dark-colored motn
with transparent wings. The female
never develops wings but remains as a
grub-like object in the bag, where she
is fortified by the male. The egg
are laid in the bag, and then the female
drops out and dies.
"The favorite food Of the bagworm
is arbor.vitae and other evergreens
The caterpillars multiply on such trees
and become exceedingly abundant,
when they often extend their ravages
to fruit and other deciduous trees.
1.-THE bags hanging to the branches
are conspicuous objects during the win
ter months, and one Of the best ways of
Riding trees of this insect is to col
lect and destroy the bags while thu
trees are bare. Spraying infested trees
in the summer with Paris green or az

Monongaliq Musings

st*Bill Nye said that Noah Webster
could spell the longest and most diff
cult words without effort. We can too,
if permit is given to spell them our
own way. We would be exceedingly
pleased to possess a spelling book
which contains only this brlet rule:
Spell all words just as you please,
whose business is it but yours% We
infer from reliable evidence that sucn
books are being adopted in Marion
county, and anyone sending us a pre-
paid copy stands fair chance OF being
rewarded in generous manner, Our
reason for thinking that Marion county
permits personal liberty in spelling is
the fact that on a new Main street
building in the city Of Fairmont the
word premises" on a large sign banner
is spelled premises" Down here il
Monongalia such free and easy habits
would be frowned upon extensively;
college graduates would go into de.
lirium tremendously, and school girls
would giggle glOripusly. Only dudes
would remain careless and uncon'
cerned.
scatter having devoted several
hours to a profound study of the Ques-
tion, in which we we're assisted b5
several placid philosophers, Of which
this county possesses a liberal sup.
ply, we have decided that the American
hen and her companions are RESPONSE
BILE for the high cost of living. The
average hen will easily and eagerly
devour $7.SS worth of grain per year.
She will inflict cruel and usual punish
ment on her owners garden to the eX'
tent OF $4.12. To atone for this she
lays a few eggs where even book
agent would fail to find them and with
vain pomp and glory proclaims the
alleged sacrifice she has made to a
disguised and deluded world For
these great crimes on the part OF the
hen we are constrained to salute with
graceful gestures and glad smiles
every chicken thief we chance to meet.
He is benefactor OF the human race.
He deserves our thanks, our aid and
our comfort. Let us not harbor any
ill feelings toward him and threaten
him with the law He should be well
come in the homes of the good, the
true and the beautiful. We have dilt-
gently sought him for years and II this
meets his eyes. we trust he will not
neglect such a fervid appeal to re-
lieye us of few desperate and dia-
boltCal hens.

JOE ADAMS
SOME SKINNER
How He Peeled Mr.. Jesse RhineS
to Bare Legs i'm Ten
Below
SHANTY MATE HAD
ONLY A QUILT LEFT
More About the Cleaning Given to
Logger by This Belgian of
Doubtful Habitat

Its a grand life" said Joe Adams,
as he walked down the corridor of the
County Jail and became resident of
the safe and sane hotel conducted in
SO highly and efficient manner by
William DOdsOn, who happens also OF
he the sheriff of Rusk county.
\ brief chronicle, as became the
time, the place and the fact that the
News-Budget was about to he printed,
was made of the case of Mr.. Adams
last Friday. He had just held a short
and it might be said, illuminating in
terview with Squire Hill. Shortly be-
fore, Undersheriff August Simon, in
his official capacity, had relieved Mr..
Adams of the following articles:
/ suit of underwear.
l pair socks.
/ pair sheep mOccaSinS.
l pair wool mittS.
l pair cotton mitts.
L pair stag pants.
l pair 4-buckle OverShOeS
l pair Overalls.
1 pair insOles.
l russell pocket book with sos
l pound chewing tobacco.
y pound smoking tobacco.
l Waltham watch.
time books.
l jack knife
al of which goods and chattels
were not the property of the said
Adams but which had been purlOined,
pilfered, stolen, taken and removed by
the said Adams from the dOmicile,
home. establishment, shack or shanty
of one Jesse Rhines in POmerOy's
camp in the town of Hawkins. while
the said Rhines slept all unsuspecting
that his shanty mate was cleaning up
on him like Il German regiment going
through Il Belgian town.
All yes. my hearties, it was dark
and dreary morning for Mr.. Rhines
when he awOke from the deep slumber
which comes to them of honest mind,
and gaZed about the walls of the bar
rem room. He CROPPED for the trusty,
faithful pants that had been his daily
companions for so long, but, helas
frightful horrible. truth came, as
Laura Jean Libbey would say, with
the speed of lightning; he had been
trimmed to skeleton. Joe, dear,
kind, helpful Joe. was gone and with
him all the articles belonging to
Rhines divers and sumdry, as inven-
tOried above.
In the cold and unfeeling world
rushed Mr. Rhines. Born, as he was,
in Scotland, where kiltieS and bare
knees are part of everyday life, he
suffered less i'll this barelegged trip in
search of pants, than if he had been
raised in the effete and subtrOpical
climate of a steam heated flat. Then
having secured more clothes and
habilament fitten' for the combat
with 10 below he came to Ladysmith
where Justice reigns and the jail
yawnS for the sinful.
And after awhile. in the due course
of law and little sleuthing on the
part of Sherlock H. Simon Joseph
Adams was in frame of steel.
Joe is Il Belgian, so he AYERS. He
speaks English with Il Chippewa Falls
accent He is small like his people
Adams is good enough name for the
nOnce Amy name looks the same OF
the docket of Justice. He carried q
registration card and showed he ha(
been rejected at Jefferson City. Mo.
Bound over to court Joe will have g
nice comfortable home for some
months.
