DESTROYING HOPPERS.

We have received Bulletin No. l of

methods of destroying young grasshop-
pers. Enclosed in the pamphlet, we
find the following circular, Which may
be Of use to our readers:
When quite young and massed on !,

the ground, Il long pan containing i,
small quantity. Of kerosene. There is
one in use in Nebraska probably pat
ented) which is about six or eight feet
long, flat. fourteen to sixteen inches
wide, and three or four inches deep,
TO the back is attached an upright can
vass about twenty inches or two feet
broad, sustained by strong wire extend
ing upwards at tile end and middle.
The pan is usually divided into three
compartments by cross strips of tin or
zinc, of which the pan is made. a
handle is attached to each end so us to
enable two persons to carry it along
close to the ground 80 as to disturb the
insects and cause them to hop into the
Kerosene. IT
by placing \ similar pan on wheels
with u handle behind, tie same force
could do more than double the work
done by the apparatus us now con-
8 -ructed, as each man or boy could op.
crate Il machine and move it more rap.
