FALL WEB WORM. Hyphantria textor. This is a common caterpillar. and particularly annoying from its habit of forming its large webs, not only on forest trees but also on fruit trees, August being the season wnett they are formed in the North. The caterpillar is green ish-yellow, dotted with black, very hairy and slender; moth white and unspotted. The cut -.shows, at a, caterpillar ; b, chrysalis, and c, moth. This insect is named from the tent-like char acter of the web in which the larva congregate. They usually destroy all the leaves on a branch, before passing to another, and should be exter minated wherever found. They are especially destructive to the apple, pear, cherry and plum. FARCY. The horse with Farey should be killed immediately it is apparent that it is acute. The pustules are malignant, and arise from blood poisoning as in Glanders. It should be needless to say, that if the human system becomes inocu lated, with the virus, death is certain sooner or later. Fortunately the disease is rare, as is Glan ders. Charlatans indeed have cures hoth for Farcy and Glanders. So they will profess to cure
spavin after the hones are quite anchylosed, or grown together. There is a form of Farey called Chronic Farcy, not especially dangerous, and mild forms may be cured. The buds or buttons as in acute Farey are arranged in groups about the inner and outer thighs, forearm, flanks, neck, and head. They are tender and painful, but do not ulcerate. They may also be felt, as hard, irreg ular knots along the course of the jugular vein. Rub the buds and knots with biniodide of mer cury, or touch them with lunar caustic. If they break vvash with a ten per cent. solution of car bolic acid. Keep up the strength of the animal with nourishing food. Give twice a day, in a pint of water, five grains of arsenic and one drachm nux vomiea. The proper proceeding however, if Farey or Glanders is suspected, is to consult, or deserihe symptoms to, a competent veterinary surgeon, or in case the symptoms are pronounced to kill and bury deeply at once, and disinfect the stable promptly.
