THE article of "Ex-Farmer" on the
grasshopper question, to be found in
another column Of to-day's issue, Is
from a gentleman of rare intelligence
and habits of observation, and long
experience in farming and country
life. We specially commend it to our
readers for these reasons. The right
thing for all farmers, everywhere, to
do, is to 'proteet The birds and this is
easily done if we will unite in en-
forcing the laws. Remember, no man
has a right TO enter your premises
with gun without your permission,
and birds will soon accumulate on
farms from which guns and gunncrs
are excluded.
In this connection it gives us pleas
ure to notice that the county agricul.
tural society has taken up this mat
ter, and at its next quarterly meeting,
which will be held on the evening of
the first Monday of the November
term of Court, will have a paper on
the subject, after which it will be
discussed in all its bearings by those
present. In the meantime let farmers
who have been bonored with visit
from the pests this year learn all they
can of their habits and characteris-
tics, and come to the meeting prepar-
ed to impart their information.

Yes, we shopld think so. Any
woman who can so "manage a farm"

take our farm and "manage" It so as
to accomplish this result, we will
