WHAT THE WEEVIL 18.
Thu adult weevil Is a brownish bee
tle varying from three-sixteenths to
three eighths of an Inch in length. It
is provided with a long-"snout” or bill
and is not unlike the common scorn
weevil In appearance. In color, she
boll weevils vary from a light grey to
a chocolate brown or black. As a
usual thing the older the beetle, the
darker In color It becomes, owing to
tho minute hairs wearing off the body.
Tne boll weevil 1, a not distant ret-
atlve of the strawberry weevil and the
plum curculio. There are many com
mon species of weevils which so close
ly resemble It that tbe novice emt
tell them apart only with difficulty.
The adult beetles pass the winter tn
trath, rubbish, cotton bolls, etc., about
the cotton fields, and also in the leaves
and rubbish of timber lands. These
weevils appear In the spring at about
the time the first cotton plants appear
above the grotfnd, and having fasted
since the previous autumn, now feed
to a considerable extent upon the
tender buds and stems of the young
cotton plants Later In the season,
however, they feed but little In the
adult stage.
As soon as the first squires appear
the female beetles commence egg do
position. The female eats s hole In
to the squire or form nnd deposits
an egg therein. This process In'then
repeated upon the next square, form
or bloom, and so on. Each remale
deposits from 60 to TS eggs In this
manner, and with few exceptions eacn
egg Is deposited In n separate square
ot fotm.
The egg hatchea In two or three
day. after being deposited, Into a ml-
nut j footless "worm” or larva which
immediately commences feeding
the Interior of the square. The square
ot form invariably falla to tho ground
at' tbia time, and tho larva continues
Us development therein. 'In from 14
to 17 daye this larva reaches full
growth, becoming about-threqelghthe
of an Inch In length, and Is white and
plump. It now puses Into th* pu
pal stage, still remslnlng hi the square.
During tbe pupal stage It takes no
food, and this stage lasts from seven
to ten days, at the end bt which time
U changes to the adult beetle and
again commences the life cycle. We
thus see that an entire generation ot
weevils Is developed approximately
every JO daye during the entire grow
ing season ot cotton. During the win
ter season a' targe percentage of the
weevils era killed by unfavorable
weather, by tne attacks of birds and
animals etc, so that early in tbq
spring there are comparatively few
•of them. Their damage to tho cotton
oarly In the season Is, therefore, herd-
ly noticeable, but as etch thirty-day
period brings an Increased generation,
the wecvlla are abundant enough by
July.lSUi or Aujuat let to etlng end
destroy every square formed upon
tho plants. So long ts plenty ot
squares are at hand, the eggs are. de-
posited In these In preference to the
balls, but when the weevUs hnve be-
e^rno so abundant that the supply ot
squares does not equal their demands,
eggs are then laid In the green bolls.
Bolls ret early In the summer es

REMEDIES.

He Held Up a Train, but Twee Net ef f AW OFFICE OF
the Railroad Variety. L J. L, SWEAT AJ30N
The traveling men in the smok
ing compartment of the Pullman
were “reminiscing.” The conversa
tion turned to each man’s most
thrilling experience, and each sought
to recount a tale in which be had
R the hero’s part One told
e had caoJNd-a beauMul girl
down the laddtiC-^ta th»Tp story
of a burning bouse. Another gave
a thrilling account of how he had
put two burglars to rout, pistol in
hand, at 3 o’clock in the morning.
Still another told how in the midst
of a train wreck he had extricated
two men from beneath the burning
timbers just as the flames were
about to engulf them. All tbe ex
periences, if not yarns pure and
simple, were highly colored by tbe
vivid imagination of the narrator*.
The conversation had been listen
ed to by a small, mild mannered, in
offensive looking man and a “rank
outsider.” Seeing a smile hovering
about the comers of his mouth, one
of tho drummers turned to him and
said, “Perhaps you can tell us some
experience of yours of this kind.”
“Well, maybe I can,” replied the
stranger in a way which seemed to
indicate that thrilling experiences
were to him an everyday occur
rence. “I’ve done several- things in
my time. For instance, once I held
up a train.”
“What!” came a burst of incred
ulous surprise. “You don’t look it,
man. You all alone held up a
train ?” Their tone seemed to indi
cate wonder as to wbat he was do
ing outside of a jail.
“Yes, alone and unaided I held
up a train.”
“Tell us about it.”
They crowded around expectant
ly and lighted fresh cigars.
“Oh, gentlemen, I don’t know
that I care to talk about it. Are
you sure you want to hear it ?”
“Certainly. Go ahead,” came the
chorus.
“Well, I said that alone and un
aided I held up • train. You see,
it was this way: I was nine years
old, and I was a page at my big
sister’s wedding. The train was
pretty heavy, but"—
He got no further. For once the
laugh was on the drummers.—New
