whore small farms abound, there ia no great
danger from the erasahopper-pest, as tho birds
and donlosttc fowls will koop down their num-
bcrs. We're 1t not tor this, Canals, Northern Now
York, and tho Eastern Stntea would be ovorrua, rs
| in Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa. and Dakota. In
the absoncs Of water, tho biras leave the coun-
try, and the hoppers have full sway. This is tho
case on tho pralrie farms, destitute OF running
atroams. For this cause, most Of tho birds hayo

lng thojr appearance /; aud, in the fields, so SEQ
swarms of young hoppers. They arc tho late
| brood that have cons out since tho birds loft,
