Cut lorms.--Wo anne. ay4 he A
merican Farmer. with feelings of plea
sure, the following truly valuable corm
muniction from Dr. Samuel D. 3lartin.
upon the rahbits, nature and spoecies of the
cut-worms, and from eur personal knowl
edge of the scientiic and practical knowl
edge- the. acute observation. and philo.
sophie turn of mind of t writer, we are
e'onvinced that the ijitns which lie su,
gests, for their destruction, nre thoic the
best adapted to that p'urpose. Farmers
and planter', whose lande .are itiested
with the cut-worins will Jo well to boar
in mind what the Doctor says upon the
subject.
Last spring I collected some cut-worms
and put them-into a glass jar with a sulli
ciency of dirt, where I fed them until they
roled hemselves vp in mud balls. By
cat-worms I mesi a worm about at inch
loWgf al grey color, that lives under the
,ground, and comes out in the night, and
dark cloudy days, and cuts off a plant,
eats pat and endemyors to drag the balance
into tbo groutid aler it. When taken out
of the ground he puts his head and.tail
together and rolls himself into a kidney
shape. Those cut-*orms, after going imo
the chrysalisstate, produced a grey miller
or moth, such as we frequena.ly, see.shqnt
our candleein the -simmer time, and are
called byl's candli-fdies. -
I kept three of those millers in'a jarand
!hey deposited their eggs uipo sone .lo
-er "eaves and bloom that K put In the
jar. Os the 24th of June tihoe eggs
btechei.liule eaterpillars or cut-worms.
I fed theni principally upo young clovcr
leaves. I think these must lia-e been
several hundred: I did not count them.
When they were nearly grown they be
came so voracious, aud required the jar,
which had held only three pints. to be
filled so frequently that I killed all but
three of theta; these wound up in mud
balls on the 21st of July, cune out millers.
moths or candle-dies, as you may chiooe
to .call them, from the 5th to the 7th of
August. Unfortunately all the moths were
of one ses, so that I lost the breed; these
I call the two-crop cut-worm.
Other cut-woris that I put up at the
same time, that is, early in :ho spring. lid
not produce moths until the lih of Au
guist; these were not quite as dark coloretd
as the first. These 1 call the one ca-op
ct-t-worm. This will reconcile the state
ments of two writers upon ihe subjeci,who
have difered about the time the ioth
makes itb appearance, the two crop hindls
appearing at both thne. I saw. also, the
moth that produced the cui-weti iolcra
bly abundant in my clover field in Oc
tober. .
This moth is a night fly and is rarelv
seen Jin the day time. unless roused frotu
its hjidiug places. From the attraction
tha fire has this kind of butterfly. (permiiit
use to call a moth a butterfl, in accord
sie isth its comimon amne) it is proa-n
ble ihat fires kindled in our fields with
brouda sud straw, of dark nights, might
destroy a great uumber of themn. Salt lpnt
on mthe gr-ound might also destroy the
worm: but the best remedy slat I bavec
ever tried is fall ph'austhiang. Thai, by de
stapying ,the vegeatauia, makes the fly
seekc other places o!'depositing her eggs ;
and it also destroys the roots of the grass
upon which the young wonrm would hive
during the winter. I have had no gem
infested by them where I have bad the
ground ploughed in the fall or wiflter.
This moth that produces the cut-worm
is tiue phsttaa Jetveutaler of ensomologists.
I have made experiments with the bud
worm and gruab-wocm, bthave tnt roomn
in this paper to give them. I was more
injured last ye~ar by the bud-worm than ti
the other wot'u .end losectr. . A nd it ha.
been the case for some yeari-st, that
they have done me more damage thnan any
other insect eftept the blister fl1 and
grass-hopper.
The cut-wornm is a very voracious eaut
terpillar, antd get their growth in tho snip
mer time in les's sham a month. Cold
weather retards their growth. ail those
that are hatched in the fall remain in a
torpid state during the winter, arnd e
theargrowth slowly in the apring.at whae'h
time they do as the principal damage in
cutting ofthey ung corn and other young
vegetables. 'hough they remain .in a
torpid state during lte winter, they require
food as soon as the weather gets warm in
the spring, and if the- vegetation has beeen
all destroyed by fall or wiater- ploughing.
which is rarely the case, they njust starve.
