WHAT PROF A FORBES, STATE ENTOMOLOGIST, HAS TO SAT ABOUT IT TO A FREEPOKT CITIZEN. Mr II Holder, the agent for the Chicago Northwestern company, wrote to his old time friend, Prof A Forbes, at Champaign, III, in regard to a currant worm, and received the fol lowing answer: MB HOLDER, Dear currant worm about which you inquire in your favor of the 20th may be either one of two species, the imported worm, Nematus ventrico- now far the most abundant in this the native species Pristi- phora grossulartee. They can be readily distinguished by the fact that the former species is covered with numer oua black specks, while the latter is plain green. It is probable the im ported worm with which you have to do, This species hibernates in the earth and under rubbish as a pupa or, more rarely as a fully developed larva. The adults from this brood emerge early in spring, laying their eggs upon the under sides of the leaves, upon the larger veins, in rooms.

In this latitude the larva of this brood matured about three weeks ago, and went into the earth for pupation, and the second brood of the flies is now due. From these a second brood of the larva is soon to appear, later in the season, will go into the earth for pupation, and these hibernate, as already mentioned. I doubt if it would be easy to prevent the escape of the imagos in spring, but should expect better results by covering the earth with ashes and cinders, as you suggest, before the larvae are prepared for pupation. Still the insect is so easily destroyed upon the leaves with pyrethrum or hellebore, that it scarcely seems worth while to attack it in any other way. Stirring up the ground in autumn in a way to expose the pupae to poultry would be an inexpensive and more or less effective aid, available in small garden patches.

Very Truly Yours. S. A. FORBES. SUPPLEMENTARY.

Mr Holder has received au additional letter, which reads as follows: DEAR MR. glancing over the copy of my letter of yesterday, I notice an omission of the amount of water to the pint of pyrethrum powder. I have used a pint of good powder to the pailful. Truly Yours. S.

A. FORBES. METHOD. In the Rockford Register we find the following: "It may be mentioned for the benefit of others, that Mr. S.

J. Green wood, of Pecatonlca, has succeeded in saving bis currant and gooseberry bushes from destruction by the pre valent bugs, by the free use of tobacco do t. His busbei are now bearing and iu healthy condition, while others have been killed out. The mode used was merely to sprinkle dust over the branches while wet. Tobacco being harmless and a good fertilizer, is less objectionable than acrid poisons, with which some are experimenting, He intends now to commence, on his own premises, the destruction of the lice which threaten the extinction of our soft maple trees.

He thinks he can accomplish it by the use of a solution of carbolic acid or creosote, believing that either will succeed, applied with a hand pump, and has promised us to report the result, for the information of others." AH OLD CITIZEN DEAD. HERMAN HAHKE.WHO HERE IN 1647, KXPIRW AT HER RESIDfcNCB THIS MORNING. Very many citizens will learn with regret of the Mrs Herman Hanke, which occurred Thursday morning At 2 o'clock, at her residence, at the corner of Liberty and Jackson streets. The deceased was taken to her bed eight months ago with rheumatism and neuralgia, which finally culminated into dropsy. Mrs Hanke was a native of Bremen, Germany, her maiden name being Miss Henrietta Grotowold.

She was born on the 13th of November, 1820, and in that country she was married to Herman Hanke, who survives her, and is about 72 years of age. In June 1847, Mr and Mrs Hanke arrived in this city, accompanied by their little son, Herman now Superintendent of Streets, and here they have resided ever since, with the exception of a few years spent on a farm in Iowa. The deceased was the mother of thirteen children, seven of whom are alive, as follows: Herman Freeport, William, Wllber, Neb, Mrs George Melga.George, Matilda, Edward and Lizzie, of this city. Mrs Hanke had a large circle of acquaintances. She was a very good wife and mother, and will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

The old settlers knew her very well, and it was always interesting to hear her relate incidents of pioneer life. The funeral services will be conducted Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the house, by Rev Otto, of 8t John's church. A MINATURE CYCLONE. FREEPORT AND THE SURROUNDING VISITED BT ONE LAST PARTICULAR DAMAGE BONE. About ten o'clock last night the average Freeporter who was on the street hurried home as fast as his lower limbs could propel him.

The occasion of this was a small sized cyclone that'swept over the city, blowing down trees, fences, and doing other damage of a similar character. The rain commenced to fall thick and fast, it being one of the heaviest of the season. One of the shades of electric light on the dome of the court bouse came down with a great craah, some people thinking that the whole frame had gone to pieces. At a certain dwelling on Galena avenue a brick rolled off the chimney, creating a great racket on the roof. This not only aroused the inmates from their slumbers, but a strange cat that found its way into the place had to be ousted before quietness was restored.

There was a good deal of damage done to the crops in various parts of the county. AtRidott the storm was a very disagreeable one, and the small grain is down, and the oats injured. Windmills are said to have been demoralized in some of the townships, The Galena street electric light circuit was broken, but the telephone wires were not damaged. It was expected that there would be several washouts on the railroads, but all trains arrived in the city on time, and no difficulty was experienced. County Headquarters.
