Iu the Curio Department at the
Washington County Fair Miss Til-
lie Klaerner has on exhibition a
beautiful collection of butterflies*
and moths which she raised. There
are sixteen well-filled cases, and
one cgse of caterpillars.
Miss Klaerner is one of the most;
Progressive of the Washington Qoun
ty school teachers, and is on duty
at Pleasant Hill. In her official
capacity she became interested in
insects. In teaching '1/ children
lo protect useful plant life, she dis-
covered that not a plan exists but
harbours some one of the tribe of
11 destroying insects.
Miss Klaerner instructed the
farmers' children to hunt the cat-
| j erpillars and bring them to school.
; Then began the interesting study of
|; feeding and Watching the various
caterpillars or larvae spinning for
themselves cases or cocoons. When
fully fed. these caterpillars became
fixed,and rigid in their thick skins,
and were known as pupae or chry-
salides. After being in thig stage
| for some lime, tin children were
delighted to see the beautiful but-
terflies and moths emerge lit for
their own independent lives. It
took one magnificent gypsy moth six
months to hatch.
Among the specimens on exhibi-
tion at the Fair and that were thus
raised, and that are unusually rare,
are in the moth collection: I.una,
Sphinx, Cecropia, Bbnibie|dse pud
Gypsy. In tin.' but terllv display,
which is ver\ complete, the lo\ li-
est examples are wood nymph,
white cabbage, nettle tortoise shell,'
yellow eastern swallow tail. Zebra,
velvet pipe vine, and tie thistle-
painted lady butterflies.
The process of raising these but-
terflies and moths, the most beau-
tiful of the thirteen orders of In
sects known to naturalists, is very
instructW and entertaining to the
great number of people at the Fair
For Miss Klaerner it is an excellent
way to stress I in* fact that if prop
erly dirt ed good may come uf evil
Miid she teaches her pupils to care
for useful plants by ridding then
pf Jthe enemies tile caU+pijlfars.
and the, fine lesson reaches this eli
max when the evil caterpillars give
their lives to the chrysalides from
which emerge the good and beautf
fill butterflies.
Where do butterflies sleep at night?
In what bower do they repose?
Do they poise in a lily white,
Or dream in the heart of a rose '
A remarkable boll of cotton is on
exhibition at the Washington Conn- •
ty Fair, It was grown on the Rose-
dale farm of A. W. Watson. This
gigantic boll of cotton is an eleven-j!
lock boll and contains more than
twice as much cotton as the ordi-
nary boll produces. The common
boll of cotton contains five locks. j|
Washington County has produced
several bolls containing nine locks '
but this Is the pri/.e winner, con-
tabling eleven locks.
Mr Watson intends saving the
ecd of Ibis big boll and hopes to j
do the Uurbtink act by producing i
something wonderful in the way of ■
improving the i|ualil\ uf Washing-
ton Count> cotton.

Are they the sweet soul of the
