LIFE OF THE SILKWORM.
It I Inconspicuous in Size, but Leutfc
it limy Kxlttence.
The silkworm it the larvae of ..the
mulberry-feeding moth, on inconspic-
uous moth of ashy white wings. The
male is not half an inch long, anil the
female is little longer and stouter. The
silkworm is hairless, of an ashen gray
or cream color, grows to a length of
three to three.and a half inches and is
slender. Its ;■ tur.i! .ford is the leaves

or vesseln consist of two long sacs
running along the sides of the body.
When the larva is fully matured fine!
ready to change to the pupa condition,
it proceeds to spin its cocoon, in which
'operation it ejects from both glands
at the -same time a line or thread

head around in regular order for three
•days or thereabouts, wrapping itself
lip completely. The cocoon; with the

President Roosevelt's'cordial indorse-
ment of the policy of providing irriga-
tion for the arid regions of the coun-
try, wherever -such Irrigation can be
economically maintained, has h id the
effect of bringing the issue into the
domain of practical politics. It has
been under discussion a long time, and
several -tentative measures have been
enacted liy Congress for dealing with
it. The prospects are Unit, it may now
soon be taken up in & comprehensive

needed to demonstrate anew the value
of irrigation carried out or. a large
