IMPROVING BREEDS OF FOWLS.

Nearly all the ordinary breeds Of Ameri-

quarter Of century ago have been wonder
cusly improved in shape size, weight for
age, confines. thriftiness and in egg.pro-
ducing capacity within that period, and this
alone through the manipulation and care
exercised in crossing the old stock with the
rev or modern importations by our farmers,
Ioulterers and American fanciers. SO
much for the value OF the fsnciers labors
7 be laying qualities Of our barnyard fowls,
crossed with these breeds within the past
score of years, have been eminently i'm
proved. The average size Of the present
"dunghill' in any farmers yard in the
country, east, west or south, shows how this
point has been effected These naturally J"
Indifferent layers hitherto have come to be
largelyimproved, too. in this respect. And
wherever we turn, or Whatever portion ofthe
country We visit we may find the stamp Of
the imported fancy fowls grated upon all
formerly insignificant stock.

IMPORTING INSECTS.

1t is well known TO entomologists that
our most injurious species of insects are
these which have been imported from other
countries, where in many cases they do
little injury. The reason is without much
doubt to be found in the fact that the para
site enemies are not imported with i. Just
Low the Germany newspapers report that a
very destructive insect has been recently
introduced into that country from the
United States. 1t is moth, imported with
wheat or Indian corn, and capable of repro.
ducing itself rapidly. The appearance Of
this insect has caused no little alarm. es-

The Big Newspaper.


A few readers are Indifferent to the reports of
games and sports, but wish to know the prog
ress of reforms and the drift of religious news
and discussion; their antipodes skip the matter
that most concerns them, and turn eagerly to
the bali scores or to the sporting record If a
newspaper wishes both these classes of readers,
must it not remember both in its policy!
The same principle governs the entire man
agement of great newspaper. There are dis
tinet classes. universal readers. who wish to
know tho state of the stock market, the theat-
rical news and gossip, art and fashion notes. re

the latest talk at the cooking school, personal
gossip about notables, and great many-more
than we wish there wePe-who relish piquant
scandals aud stories of accidents, disasters and
crimes.
A daily newspaper that aims to be at all COM

of interest to its editors to large class Of its
