How They Fight GrasShOppers.

What farmers there are in Colorado,
says letter writer, are fighting grass
hopperS with water, and fire, and smoke,
and death-dealing ambuscades, and engines
of destruction. OF all these the "grass-
hopper hell is the most popular and per-
haps the most eficacious. Its name gives
a very good conception Of its practical
workings. \ long sheet-iron box, open at
the top, is swung close to the ground be
tween two wheels by which it is moved
over the field Rising two or three feet
above the top Of the box, and bending
forward from the rear, is broad sheet Of
tin or sheet-iron. When in use fire is
built in the bottom of the furnace, which
is then pushed against the wind, the over
hanging wing or sail taking the hoppers as
they rise and feeding them to the flames in
hurry. Sometimes miniature windmill
is added to the outfit, and sucks in all the
locusts for yards and yards around, de-
stroying them by millions. Millions more
have been drowned in irrigating bitches by
cunningly devised traps which prevent
| their escape from the water. While they
were young and green, and before their
wings were grown, several tons of them
were destoyed by a confidence game which
deserves description. Between the young
hoppers and the young wheat long rows Of
dry straw were strewn, which soon became
literally black and alive with the wrigglin2
little insects. When no more hoppers could
be accommodated, the straw was fired
Another device was to drag over the hopper
infested regions a talpaulin plentitully
coated on the under side with coal tar
which is instant death to the pests, Still
with all those disadvantages against them
grasshoppers are apparently as numerous
| as ever.

News of the Crops.

Wheat is now about over in the Southern
States, and the yield has proved to be a
bountiful one. In Mississippi, Alabama
and Georgia the crop is SO large that the
demand on the Northwest will be material
ly reduced There was large area sown,
and the yield per acre is greater than for
ten years past. An Alabama paper says
that agricultural prosperity prevails all
over the State, and prospects are better
than they have been since the war.-From
Adams county, in Pennsylvania, we learn
that the wheat crop will considerably ex-
ceed the average this year. The surface
Of the country is hilly, and the wheat ap
pears to have escaped the ice coating that
was fatal to it here.-The grasshopper
''tidal wave passed over Omaha, going
north and east, last Tuesday. Much in
jury was done to gardens, fields and fruit
trees. In the interior Of Nebraska the
grasshoppers have mostly departed, with
out doing much damage, and the crops are
the finest ever known.--From Eastern
Kansas the report comes that the grass
hoppers have at last disappeared, flying off
to the northward. Farmers were busy
last week planting their fields again, and a
general feeling of hopefulness prevails
The peach crop in Delaware is so large that
contracts are said to have been made for
whole orchards at 30 cents per basket
From Clarion county, III this State, it is
reported that the wheat crop is a full
average.-Heavy storms passed over Eas
tern Kansas and Nebraska last week, and
great damage was done. At one place mil
lions Of small toads made their appearance
aftcrward.-The latest estimate Of the de-
struction caused by the locusts or grass
hoppers west of the Mississippi is that it
amounts to five per cent. of the whole
product.-"B T. j." Illinois correspon-
dent of the Country Gentleman, says that
almost everything looks favorable in that
State. \ great corn crop is certain, while
the other grains and grass are doing well.
The fruit viii be very poor and scarce, ex-
cept grapes, which will be plenty.-In
California there is full crop of wheat and
barley in the northern counties, but in the
Interior including the famous San Joaquin
valley, there will be partial failure. 1t is
thought that taking the State together the
wheat crop will be two-thirds of the usual
quantity. The drought has been generally
injurious. Hay and potatoes are likely to
be scarce, but apples will be plenty. The
San Francisco Chronicle says that there
will be enough of everything for home
consumption and reasonable surplus for
exportation-In the wheat region of
Western New York the crop will be very
light Grass is looking very well, and
other spring crops are in favorable condi-
ton. The potato bug is everywhere, but
is rapidly destroyed by other intects, In
the fruit region about LockpOrt and
Rochester there will be fine crop of
peaches, fair one of apples, and prospect
of an excellent yield Of pears.
