How to Kill Grasshoppers.

Reports of Western railway trains
stopped by grasshoppers are apt TO be
taken by Eastern people as samples of
Western huihor rather than as state
ments OF actual fact. Similer incre-
dulity was manifested on the other side
of the Atlantic, few days ago, when
q telegram came from Algiers, telling
OF the delay of train from Oran, six
hours, from the same cause, namely,
the accumulation Of grasshoppers on
the rails. But it was no Joke. The
grasshoppers are as great pest there
as they are in some parts Of the Far
West, and Just now they threaten the
utter destruction of the growing crops
over considerable areas.
Many plans have been tried for their
suppression, the most successful, ac-
cording to circular of instruction
lately issued by General Ohansy to the
generals of division and project of AL.
geria, being that employed in Cyprus.
BY this plan the attack is made neither
on the eggs nor on the ftliy developed
insect, as prscticed elsewhere, but DUR
ing the intermediate or win9less period
of their development, stage begin
ming about month after the eggs are
Matched, and lasting three or four
weeks, during which the crickets +"
wander about in compact manses and
are easily taken in V-shaped traps open
to the line of march. The sides of the
traps are made with strips of silk a
hundred yards long and two or thIee
feet wide firmly attached to poles set in
the ground, The bottom edges of these
walls of Bilk are banked with earth so
that the crickets cannot crawl under
them. and the upper edges are waxed
or bordered with oiled silk, which pre-
vents their climbing over. AS they
have no wings to escape with, they are
forced to mass themselves Mt the apex
of the system Gas it is called) where
| they tumble into trench edged with
plates of zinc, which offers no foothold,
SO that they are effectually trapped.
| When the trench is full the insects are
covered with earth, and the system is
moved on 60 continue the work of des-
truction elsewhere. Upwards of 1000
cubic yards of grasshoppers were thus
destroyed in Cyprus in single season.
With the conversion of our Western
plains into farm lands it is becoming
more and more necessary to combat the
grasshopper plague on a grand scale.
Our farmers will do well to profit by
the experience of the East,

To Stop the Ravages of Moths.
Sheep Stories.

At the cattle yards in East Buffalo
there is an immense sheep house,
capable of holding twenty thousand
sheep. 1t is situated some distance
from the railroad, and is reached by a
somewhat circuitous route, through
various streets and avenues of the yard.
When cattle trains arrive in the night,
the sheep are unloaded and driven to
the house. Now this was somewhat
troublesome, until the introduction of
Chilly" the subject of this sketch.
Billy is fine wether. He is not Cots
void, nor Southdown, nor Merino.
Indeed, I am afraid that his early pedi-
gree was sadly neglected. But for all
that, he is most intelligent sheep.
When the, sheep are all unloaded,
Billy, with bell on his neck, is placed
at the head of the flock. He leads
them through the long avenues to the
house and into the pens, and as the last
one enters the pen, Billy slips out the
gate, and returns to his own stall and
bale of hay. All this is done better
than it could be by several men.
The story of "Billy" reminds us OF
another Billy, who, on seeing his
shadow, through one of the large, plate
glass windows, of city dry goods
store, stopped to give him bunt, and
as he went through the window, into
the salesroom of the astonished in.

Asiatic LOcusts,

The locust is an insect which, in the
east, is often five or six inches long, and
of the thickness of mans thumb. Its
head is shaped like that of horse (Joel
ii. A.. The mouth is large. and fur
nished with four incisive teeth, which
traverse each other like scissors. The
noise made by flock of them in eat
ing, is compared by Joel iii. 81 to the
cracking sound of fire among stubble,
and by modern travellers to the rattling
of hailstones. The prophetic writings
of the Old Testament abound with allu-
sions to this insect, as one of Gods
most dreadful scourges. All travellers
in the east speak of the ravages of this
insect as quite terrific. The swarms are
often a mile in length, darkening the
air as they pass, and forming layer of
several inches when they settle on the
earth. Nothing can impede their march /;
they fill up the deepest trenches, extin-
euish fires, and climb walls. All ver-
dure disappears, and the country looks
as if burnt up with fire (Exod. Z. 4-19).

Worse than the Bugs.

The Rockland (Me.) Journal says
DR.. Virgins had call to visit pa
tient at the north part of the city, yes
terday, and found him suffering from q
fearful eruption, covering him from
head to foot. The gums of his mouth
were spongy and the teeth loosened.
The cause for this was, the man be-
longed to vessel, and being troubled
with bed-bugs, procured powder fol
their determination from druggist in
New York. The maodus Operandi was
to throw the powder into the seams and
crevices with a small bellows. The
powder was nothing but corrosive sub

IMPROVED STARCH. "A beautiful
finish can, it is said, be given to arti-
cles to be starched by taking one-fourth
of pound of starch, and working it
over and kneading it with little water,
then placing five or SIX pints of water
in pan and adding to this very small
quantity of powdered borax, a piece of
sugar and fragment of white wax
about the size of hazel nut, and heat
ing the whole sufficiently. This water
is then to be added to the starch, stir
ring it continually and mixing the two
together until the whole is as thick as is
convenient for application. If the
articles are to be made quite stiff, the
strength of the starch may be increased
two or three fold.

out into murky sireamers in lengths of
