Insects-The Injury they Do.

To the Editor of the Cincinnati Ga.
zette::
SUNMAM, IND, October 4th.
One of your subscribers, few
weeks since, made inquiry as to the
cause of the failure of the apple crop.
I suppose that climatic influences
are in part the cause, but in my opin-
ion it is to be attributed principally
to the same cause that effects nearly
all our crops--the depredations OF
''bugs."
BY this term / include millers,
moths, grubs, worms, and insects of
every kind-their name is legion,
and their number beyond the powers
of arithmetic. / could fill a half col :
umn weekly for year with my own
experiences in the past thirty years,
but shall confine my present article
to that pest of every lover of pump
kin pie-the squash bug.
Some years ago friend sent me
a package of seeds OF two or three
choice varieties of squashes, which l
planted in my garden, where they
grew finely and gave promise of
splendid crop. Some Of the fruit at
tanned avery large growth, when all
at once the vines began to turn yel-
low, and in few days were entirely
dead, being literally covered with
squash bugs. 1 made short work
with them with q good stout pair of
boot soles, but nay squashes were
like Jonah's Gourd.
My next experience was with a
field of pumpkins, planted among
corn, where the ground having been
subsoiled and well manured, pro-
duced splendid growth of vine,
which were well set with fruit, and l
fattered myself that / would have at
least ten wagon loads of pumpkins.
But the bugs came, and wheelbar-
row would have been sufficient to
carry home the crop. Two or three
experiences of this kind caused me
to try planting in small lot where
could attend to the vines, destroying
the eggs before they were hatched
and hunting out and killing the pa
rent bugs. In this way have some.
times succeeded in raising enough
for pies.
This year I again planted among
my corn, thinking that I would
watch the bugs and destroy them in !
time to secure a crop. About the
FIRST of August I discovered that they
had commenced operations, and
went over the field three different
times, examining almost every leaf
and destroying every bug and egg 1
could find. These examinations
were made several days apart, and 1
supposed the work was done. In
few weeks / discovered that my la
Dor had been iu vain, and that l
would have no pumpkins. I then
commenced war of extermination,
going through the field almost ev-
cry day, hunting out and destroying
every bug could find. This morn
ing l made final charge upon them
hunting out every small pumpkin
(there are no large ones, and the
vines are all dead.) The bugs were
corrected around them, wet and cold,
and here easily disposed of.
The results of the campaign NAV
be thus summed up: The enemy's
loss, one million, our loss, the entire
crop. l think l have learned how a
crop Of pumpkins can be raised
which I may tell some other time.

Il, and his operations last year
as follows: He purchased 4,
b head of Texas steers, which cost
y140, 600; cost of handling, interest,
&C.. $47, 900; making an aggregate OF
SlS7, 900. His average sales are
$40 per head, or $3.50, 1000, leaving
him a profit of $4,000. The profit
upon the grain and other crops OF the
farm bring the whole up to nearly
5000, 900, after paying all expenses,
and including q rent or interest OF o4
per acre on the land. The farm cost
s4OO, 600, and is styled 'Broadlands.'
It is nearly seven miles from north
To south, and six from east to west,
and its cattle capacity for summer
pasturage, when fully grass stocked,
is estimated at 16, 900 head.
On the west side are two pastures
one and half miles by three miles,
that contain nearly 5000 acres each.
To the east of these is "patch'' of
corn half mile wide and three miles
long. On the farm there are 5000
acres in corn, which, it is calculated,
will yield, at low estimate, 250,o00
bushels. The working stock con-
sists of fifty yoke of oxen, and fifty
span of horses and mules, and the
working force of superintendent,
general foreman, six assistant fore
men, bookkeeper, a baker, car
penter, 8 butcher. and about $50
other operatives. The headquarters
are in the center of the farm. The
average cost of boarding is 35 cents
per day. The farm is divided by
two roads two miles apart, north and
south, and one through the center
east aud west. These are lined with
ffty-fou miles of hedge, which was
mostly set four years ago. Seventy
five miles were set in the spring OF
1868, and twenty-five last spring
These hedges are to supersede the
post and board fence.

BOUTWELL, MASTER OF THE SITUATION

the Cincinnati Commercial, Ia radical
paper, say it is settled in radical cir
clcs that Boutwell, is to be played for
the succession. The writer says:
cit was generally understood that
President Grant has turned over the adj
ADMINISTRATION of the Government to the
Cabinet, and that he takes little or no
interest in what is going on. His in
aucnce with bis Cabinet Ministers is
daily becoming less, while their power
over him is daily becoming stronger.
lfGeneral Grant is now candidate
for reelection, he very soon will not be
ope. His influence and his mantle will
quietly and gently fall upon Mr.. Bout
we'll, whose wise and statesmanlike ad
ministration of the Treasury has giver
entire satisfaction to all the solid money
ed men of the country"
Private information is to the effect
,bal fin President is much changed since
liz ACCESSION to Office. He has aged sc
fast that those who knew him at the
lead Of the army are astonishcd at the
difference. His mind seems to be ab,
stracted-he takes ittle'interest in wha
i Going on about him-smokes inces

Of money but there does not appear to

quirc, what has become of the money
If they had noticed the number of cars
loaded with corn, -four and bacon, which
is continually arriving in our cities, and
which are being hauled off into the
country, they would know what had be-
come of the money. 1t has all vanish
cd like the morning cloud or the car
" dew. 1t has been sent away to buy
provisions. 1t seems to be a law Of God
that an agricultural people who buy
their provisions can never prosper
This applies equally to individuals and
to communities. But many planters
will not believe It, although each year
the truth stares them in the face. They
go on raising Gotten and buying prcvis-
ions until bad crop or low price
ruins them. The only planters who
keep any of the money which their hast
cotton brought them are those who rails
cd their own provisions, ar%! they are
also the men who arc paying up their
old debts.
