Clover Worms.
  We have received from Richard Wray, of Mc. Henry county, another installment of those pests found in his clover stacks. Mr. W. says he is feeding the same kind of hay from a mow in the barn, and all the lower part of it is filled in the same way as the stacks that have been described.  He finds in cold weather they keep very close in their webs, but crawl out in pleasant weather. He further says that he believes the eggs are laid in the green clover before cured, and the sweating of the stack hatches them out.  He has grown clover hay for fifteen years on the same farm an this is the first appearance of the worm.
