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 cape injury from the weevil, but af ter about July 15th tn the weevll-ln- leated district, every squire ts 'de stroyed u fast ts formed. REMEDIES.

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.
