. Field, forest and farm; things interesting to young nature-lovers, including some matters of moment to gardeners and fruit-growers. Natural history; Agriculture. THE STAG-BEETLE 229 out for those nippers. For all its threatening as- pect, it is at bottom a peaceful creature. Catch it by one leg and it will fly round and round like the June-bug. It is called the stag-beetle, a name that explains itself, for it has branching mandibles resembling a stag's horns, and it belongs to the family of beetles.

In fact, its form had nothing in common with what we now behold. Then it was a big, fat worm, with fine white skin, crawling on legs so small and feeble as hardly to deserve mention.
