Cosmui Bckenvode, of Pike twp , Berks oounty, says the Philadelphia Press, gives tha details of a most exrraordinary occur rence which happened upon his farm. Mr. Hekenrode ha* a potato patch of about an acre and one half near the western line oi his farm This place was so infested with potato bugs that, several weeks ago, he gave up any hope* of having a crop, and allowed the bugs to have their own *»}• In spite of their number, however, they had not succeeded entirely in eating up the rapidly growing vines. In the latter part ot last week the army worms invaded theiarmofhis neighbor, and by Sunday the worms were crossing over into Ecken rod's land. Early Sunday morning Ecken rode went out to observe the progress of the pests, and in doing so came to the po tato patch. He iound potato bugs assem bled in countless thousands on the edge oi the patch nearest to his neighbors land and facing the direction from which the army worms were coming. When Eckenrode first came to the pota to patch the advance guard oi the worms were arriving. As soon as a worm would come within reach of the bngs one of them would fasten itself upon his back and be gin to eat him, just as if he were a succu lent potato vine. The result would be that before his wonnship could advance a yard ho would begin to writhe and wriggle in tho agonies of death, and would soon be hors de combat. The worms, whose appetite is a mostvo racious one, appeared to be all unsuspect ing of the hostile design of the bugs, and upon their first approach invariably at tempted to eat them, supposing, no doubt, that they were some new kind of vegeta ble, but the hard shell of the bugs served as an impenetrable armor, rendering them perfectly safe against any weapons the worms could bring against them. It is needless to say that Eckenrode watched this curious battle with interest In a short tims after his arrival the worms began to come by the thousands and tens oi thousands, and the battle raged most furiously. The arm}" of potato beetles was apparently numberless, and as fast as the army worms came on tney were attacked and killed in the way before described. Sometimes, when there was an unusual rash, a sort of Pickett's charge as it were, th-s inflow of the worms would advance for a yard or two within the line of the bugs, but only to add their dead bodies to the wiiggling, writhing mass. The slaughter went on at such a rate that within a few hours a .-.trip of ground about ton feet wide along the edgo of the potato patch was covered t> an average of a foot in depth with uead worms. Iu the meantime the neighbors for quite a distance around had heard of this un ique ba'isand had assembled to watch it. From early morning until late in the af ternoon it kept up, when not only did the advancing army of worms begin to thin out but too barrier raised by the dead bodies of ivieir companions prevented further ad vice in that direction. Then by some sinof an apparent understanding among them, the worms changed the direction of their march and ceased to advance upou the defense of the bugs. The latter short ly alter ihis took place scattered back a nting the potato vines and resumed their usual work thereon. There was to all appearances but few casualties anoug the bugs, although many of them u ore caught in the crush of the advancing worm- 1 anil smothered to death Mr. Eckeurode estimates that the dead worms will weigh probably eight tons He intends to use thetn lor fertilizing purpo see Easily Cured.

An Ugly Insect. What i < known a* the "San Jt>»e Scale has been making much trouble lately in : this state. Concerning it Dr. George G j Groff, a «pecial agent of the department of agriculture, says. "Thia insect is the most formidable pes; which ever threatened the frait iutere.sts I of Peoasylvaaii If unchecked, it will j ia a few years destroy absolutely the or chards and gardens ot the stale. It will j kill apple and pear trees in two year*, currant bushes in a single season It spreads slowly bat surely thro lgh an or ebard, haviug a special liking for tho Bar j llett, Buerre (iiifard. Bose and ADjion I among pears, the yellow transparent ap ple,the Fay currant, the Lombard pear and tho common Juneberry. These trees and plants should be examined for it. In Pencsylvania it has not been seen on the peach,cherry or apricot. "Where b few of the insects are pre sent on a tree they are most easily found on the fruit no which tbey produce cir cular blotches, very characteristic. "Where a tree or bush is thoroughly invested the whole plant presents an ashy, dusty or scurvy appearance. The insect can only be combated successfully after the leaves have fallen Yet every frnit grower should have a couttant watch upon his trees and every infested one should be marked for treatment. Badly effected trees and plants should ha dug up ar.d burned at once. This is tho only sure tieatment for them. The winter treat ment of trees in Pennsylvania should con sist of spraying them as soon a3 the leaves fall with a hot solution made by dissolving two pounds of while oil soap in one gal lon of water. The spraying should be re peated before the leaves open in the spring. This treatment may confidently bejexpec ted to hold the insects in check. Speaking of that 16 to I phrase, there are generally 16 people who don't know what it means to one who does. It is a vear of centennial celebrations in this State.
