The Army Worm—Its Origin and Modes of Destruction. The army worm is making its appearance in many parts of the State in large numbers, and threatens to become quite numerous and destructive. A few words on its origin and different modes of destruction will not be out of place. This worm passes the winter season in a pupa or larva state in the ground, and as the warm weather of spring approaches it works its way to the surface goes through the natural transformation incident to all this class of insects, and hatches or bursts its covering and comes forth a miller or moth about the size of a silk worm moth, or a little larger than the common house moth. This moth by distinct lays its eggs upon new and tender vegetation, where the young worm will find food adapted to its wants. The facts above stated will indicate to every thinking mind one of the most effective modes of destruction, and one that is recommended by entomologists. It is this, to plow ground late in the fall in cold climates, and thus expose the larvae to the cold and kill them by the wholesale while in that state in which there are few States be as follows: Upon a written or printed ballot, each voter shall express his vote for a candidate for each and every race to be filled, and the candidate receiving the highest number of votes, shall declare the regular nominee of the democratic party for such office. Ordered, That all qualified electors who pledge themselves to vote at the engled general election for the nominees of Democratic party, and none other, will be allowed to vote at the primary election hereby ordered. Candidates for the following offices are chosen: State Senator, two Members of the Assembly, Sheriff, Clerk, Recorder, Treasurer. District Attorney, Superintendent of Public Schools, Surveyor, Coroner, and Pub-Administrator. Ordered, That there be elected a County committee, to consist of eleven members, serve for two years, or until their successors are elected and qualified, same topportioned as follows: From Supervisor District No. 1—Commod of Los Angeles (three wards), La Loma, San Fernando, Elizabeth Lake Soledad precincts, four members. District No. 2—Composed of Wilmington Silver, San Antonio Compton, and hence precincts, two members. District No. 3—Composed of El Monte, Jose, Azusa, San Gabriel Mission, Old Monon, and San Gabriel Mines precincts, members. District No. 4—Composed of San Juan, Bonquim, Santa Ana, Ananeim and Los Precincts, two members. On the county at large—one member following are designated as polling and judges of election: Aheim—at the office of Judge Clark Clark, judge. Asa—at the house of John Casy Casy, Jr., judge. Bapton—at the house of J. M. Elliott Elliott, judge. Monte—at the office of Dr. Mayes Hopper, judge. Eabeth Lake—people appoint. Ballona—at the store of E. Green-J. D.

Fernando—at the store of H. Lopez, Jesz judge. Silk worm moth, or a little larger than the common house moth. This moth by instinct lays its eggs upon new and tender vegetation, where the young worm will find food adapted to its wants. The facts above stated will indicate to every thinking mind one of the most effectual modes of destruction and one that is recommended by entomologists. It is this, to plow ground late in the fall in cold climates, and thus expose the larvae to the cold and kill them by the wholesale while in that state in which there are fewest of them in number. While this mode of treatment will not be as effectual in this State as in colder climates, still it is believed to be one of the most effectual modes of destruction even here that can be adopted, and we would recommend its practice wherever practicable, especially where the worms have been numerous the preceding season. Another mode of destruction recommended and practiced by many is to roll the ground with a heavy roller. This may be made pretty effectual, and will not result in injury to growing vegetation upon meadows and pasture lands, or upon the grain when small. In the Eastern States they sometimes do great injury to early sown wheat in the fall, and then the rider can be used to great advantage, but these worms have disappeared before we sow our winter wheat and do not appear again in the spring until after the wheat is so large that it cannot be rolled without injury. Hence, to protect our crops here from destruction we have resorted in many instances with success to the practice of running a ditch around them when threatened. This ditch should be dug so that the worm will fall into it easily from the side towards which the drove of worms is approaching, but on the opposite side, or toward the field to be protected, it should be abrupt, or better, the side should be made to project over the ditch so as to prevent the worm from crawling out when once in. It is also recommended that every rod or so there be dug in the ditch holes, in which those that attempt to travel along the ditch may fall. When the worms have already made an entrance into vineyards, especially warm, sandy land, it is recommended that the soil be plowed up freshly and that then each vine be jarred so as to precipitate the worm into the ground in the heat of the day. The heat of the sun and that of the sand will destroy large numbers before they can reach the shade of any vegetation for protection. It has been noticed that alfalfa fields are great harborers of these worms. This results from the fact that this grass presents to the moth the most favorable condition—a plenty of good tender feed for the young worm—rather than any other reason. TURKEYS VS. ARMY WORMS. Gabriel Mission—at the store of N. Edward Jones, judge. Gabriel Mines—at Roberts' store, in Blakey, judge. Jose—at the school house, John R. Judge. Washington—at the railroad saloon minds, judge. Juan—at Charles' store, R. Eagan. Precinct—at the school house, H. Han, judge. Mad—at the house of Samuel Harper judge. Antonio—at the school house, Dr. Hannon, judge. That the judges of election in recinct be required to make out and set to the Chairman of the Demo-County Central Committee, on or o'clock P.M. of Thursday July 3d is true and correct return, properly all of all votes cast at their respective; said returns to be accompanied by the ballots cast, and all securely and protected. The returns may be mailed or special messenger. If by mail, he shall be sworn faithfully state his trust. That at 1 o'clock P.M. of Thursday July 3d prox., in open Committee, the shall be opened, canvassed, and it be declared by the Secretary of Democratic Central Committee of Los County, and as herein before proclaimed the votes of the Democratic party at the general election. Three adjourned, to meet at 1 o'clock Thursday July 3d. W. Woodworth, Chairman, Hewitt, Secretary.

This results from the fact that this grass presents to the moth the most favorable condition—a plenty of good tender feed for the young worm—rather than any other reason. TURKEYS VS. ARMY WORMS. The Sacramento Beet Sugar Company have adopted a novel mode of getting rid of the army worms among their beets, and at the same time turning the worms themselves to account. They have already put three hundred turkeys gobbling up those worms, and intend to turn from two to three hundred turkeys more in the field in a few days. They have been compelled to purchase the turkeys this season, but intend to enlarge or extend their business in the future by raising their own turkeys. The Company are of the opinion that a diversity of crops is advisable, at least for their present emergency, and are in hopes that by the introduction of the turkeys their sugar crop will be considerably increased, and at the same time that they may realize some profit from the turkeys themselves.—Suc. Record. WHAT THESE GRANGES MEAN.—George Kimball, of this city, has been sick and unable to do his farm work this spring. Seventeen of the Burroah Grangers rigged their teams on Monday and broke up twenty-seven acres of ground and left it ready for planting. There is something practical in that kind of Grange-work, and it has a smack of brotherly kindness in it that would make almost any half decent man want to be a farmer and a Granger.—Laurence (Kansas) Tribune. A clairvoyant trio, two women and a man, have been traveling in the South, pretending to cure epizootic by the "laying on the hands." They practiced on a Kentucky mule, the other day, and the firm has since dissolved.
