with substances distastfal or fatal to
them, the tree perishes Even the wild
red mulberry trees in the wood suite:
from the same cause, and die before they
come to their full growth.
One of the causes of this eXtraordina-
ry increase of insects injurious to vege
tation is The destruction of the birds that
feed upon them. We must take our
choice between the insects and the birds.
Birds multiply with comparative slow
ne-s, and if they prey upon the crops
they can be seen and scared away. In
sects multiply by myriads, and evade
the attempts of man to destroy them.
Birds takea small part of the fruits or
ripened grain; insects destroyed both by
wholesale. There is nothing for as to
do but to take the birds INTO opartnership,
allowing them a part of the annual
product on condition of their protecting
the remainder, as the traveller in the
East pays tribute to the Bedouin chief
on condition of being projected by him
from the robberies of his tribe.
On Long Island the farmers have the
habit of soaking corn in strychnine or
some other poisonous substance and
strewing it about their fields 10 prevent
the depreciation of the crows. There
could be nothing more illjudged than
this. Not only the crow. but other birds
that make war on the insect race, swal-
low the poisoned kernels and perish in
consequence. But even if the crow only
was destroyed, the effect would be mis-
chievous. Crows feed on grasshoppers,
ccickets, and other insects, and thei!
stomachs are found full of them. A
single insect which escapes them be-
comes the parentof thousands, and each
one of these is the progenitor of thous-
ands more, which move silently and
surely to the work of destruction. If
the crow cannot be kept from pulling
up Indian corn by the old expedient of
scarecrows, there is no other method
but to replant, and set down the plants
which he has pulled up to the account
of profit and loss. The uprootiDg of q
few plants would be loss of far less
consequence than the mischief from
millions of destructive insect propagat-
ed without cneck.

Sheep-SmasI FIocks a Necessity.

In consequence Of the long-con tinued
depression in the price of the finer
grades of wool, nearly every owner o a
Merino flock of any considerable size,
within our knowledge, is preparing to
reduce the number of his sheep.
So far as these parties are concerned,
such a course may be the best one open
to them as circumstances have undoubt-
edly rendered the handling of large f1ocks
uu profitable in many localities where,
few years ago, diHe 'ent result was
.ealized. The enhanced value Of lands.
The occupation and improvement oil a
large proportion OF the prairie lands
that were used for Summer ranges
thus forcing the grower to own or hire
his Summer pasture-and the high
wages demanded by laborers, have COM
bined to bring about such result. And
to the above may be added the loss
resulting from, aud the expense o: hand
ling, those twin scourges-scab and
foot roU-now quite too gene, ally dis
seminated among the. flocks of the
Mississippi Valley.
In view of these facts, we are not pre-
pared to deny that the reduction of the
large focks is the best course open to
the owners of them, and for two reasons:
First, because the handling Of sheep,
where not made speciality, but pur-
sued as part o. mix ed husbandry, can
be made profitable, even upon high
priced lands; and second, because the
eradication of contagious diseases from
large focks of sheep, though not an i'm
possibility, requires more labor, aid in
wolves greater expense. than most
men are prepared or willing to devote
to it.
What is most to be deplored in this
connection, is the fact that many good
animals-and their number is already
too small-a-e sent to the shambles that
should find purchasers in the owners of
the many farms upoE which is annually
wasted enough to feed 25 10 100 sheep
the year through. Every farm should
have its flock OF sheep, in numbers and
kind according to circumstances and
toe taste o. the owner. They.will petound
to occupy place that 90 other animal
can so well fill, and can be made profit
able, even at The present low prices OF
W ool and mutton.
There is not much room 10 doubt that
the day for large flocKs of sheep to oe
made profitable in localities east of the
Miss ssippi river is over. But we would
not have the number of sheep reduced i.
Ra ather would we increase them, ap-
preciating as we do how indispensable
they will be to that system of jud;cious
husbandry that will be demanded at no
very remote day, to make amends for
the EN- pirical style farming that has so
generally obtained.-[ Western Rural.

The annual statement of the sugar
and rice crops of Louisiana for 1S69-7O
has made its appearance. The rice crop
is stated to be the largest ever produced,
and the sugar crop slightly exceeds that
of last year, contrary to the estimates
which had been made. The yield of
sugar and molasses, however, was much
smaller in proportion to the breadth of
land cultivated than last year, owing to
several untoward circumstances. The
sugar yield for last year was 81, 900 hogs
heads, against s4. .256 the previous. and
the rice crop for 1869 was 100, 74S barrels
of200 pounds each. This exhibit argues
a great deal for the free labor system.

lie multiplication o. SECS.
One of the principal causes OF the fail
ure of crops of fruits in this part OF the
country is the multiplication of insects.
So far as our observation extends their
number seems to increase with every
successive year. They attack the leaves;
they attack the fruit, often as soon as it
begins to set; they do not spare the
branches, or even the trunks. They
cause the apple and the pear to become
small. knobby and wormy, or to fail
prematurely; they make the fruit of the
cherry wormy and worthless, or cause it
to decay on the tree, and prevent the
plum from ripenirg. We have seen
medlar trees on Long Island covered
with fruit which was not in a sing lie
