Fowls a. Insect Destroyers.

The value of poultry for destroying
insects is greatly underestimated. A
turkey hen, with large brood, will
work industriously over large area
in one day, and they will consume
hundreds OF insects. During an entire
season the useful work so performed
will be very great. A flock of hens on
"A range will ind all the insect food de-
sired, and will need no aid from the
owner. This is we'll enough as it APP
pears, and saves expenses, but their
credit should he given he desi ru,'i ion
OF insects. Ii some correct -st innate
of the number of insects destroyed by
one hundred fowls could he made, for
one year. the result would be asst oni.h-
ing. Ii we could put it at half peck
for each hen, it might not he too large.
but allowing only two quarts of in
>ects for each hen during one year. W.
have over three bushels destroyed 10,
one hundred fowls. This means fewer
insects to be killed the next season.
We have seen n brood OF turkeys clean
out all the worms in a tobacco field i'm
one day, and though the adult pot alto
beetles are injurious to fowls, yet the
hens will'eat the eggs and grubs Of the
beetles il given an opportunity. The
destruction OF insects should always
be considered in the matter of poultry
management,

apple taken from tree on the ranch
OF Will Haynes, Who will he on the
line OF the ditch when it is finished.
Mr.. Haynes has II splendid apple
orchard. His trees are all loaded
down with luscious fruit and he will
have a good crop. He has also plums
in abundance; the limbs OF the trees
are almost breaking down with their
burden. They are suffering, however,
somewhat for want OF water, though
it is expected the recent rain will re-
yive them sufficient to secure good
quantity from the trees. Besides these
Mr.. Hayne, hasa quantity of siberian
crabapple trees, currants, and much

line OF raising fruit has demonstrated
that one OF the great future industries
of Custer county will be fruit raising.

HON. JAMES FERGUS.
His Fitting and Eloquent Remarks al tie
Pioneers Meeting in Helena.

In response to toast compli-
mentary to himself, offered at the
recent meeting OF Montana pioneers,
in Helena, Hon. James Fergus spoke
as follows:
"Pioneers, friends, ladies and gentle
men-I.anguage fails me to say what
would tonight. Seeking to repair
shattered constitution, II broken for
tune and to found "a home IN the will
derness far from friends and civlliza-
tiOn, driving my own OK team through
this valley % years ago, little did
think ] would meet such an assem-
blage i'm such palace as this. Surely
the age Of miracles is not past. Solo
mon in all his glory and Queen VIC
toria in her palmest day never had
or beheld the comfort we now enjoy.
What is gold and silver to the con.
veniences of Modern American civili-
zation. No doubt much of the energy
requisite for such undertakings came
with tine early settlers, eliminating IN
him whose name floats over us to-
night. They were not all saints but
they were purified i'm early years ny
the halter and the bullet, and the
results OF their peaceful labors stand
out through the length and breadth OF
our State, eliminating in Butte, the
necessity, Anaconda it's adjunct and
Helena the crystal gem of the noun
tains. Inspired by the pure air OF our
mountain homes, these and their
adjuncts are the fruits OF your
brave generous and chivalrOus labors.
Friends ana Pioneers, n comparative
stranger in county y bearing my name.
through the kindness Of Democratic
friends, I come to you yearly for what
do not find at home, what money
cannot buy, what makes me rich With
out making you poor, and what our
language has no word to express-an
annual supply OF that mesmeric SYM
pathy and inspiration which exists
among the old Pioneers of Montana.
When kind nature fails me to make
this annual visit to obtain this annual
supply, Il must either move with it's
influence, or lay me down and die;'
TO he laid by you and kind friends in
yOnder cemetery by the side OF her
who weaned me from the follies of
youth, where many of our old friends
have gone before and where many will
follow; friends in life, not parted IN
death, fathers and mothers OF a great
State. May our children remember
and practice only our virtues and
transmit them to their pOsterity, and
may peace, virtue and prosperity al
ways reign in this mountain land of
our beginning" Applause.

AND VITAL STATISTICS
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
CENSUS OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, D. c.,
May l, 1889.
tn the Medical profassinn

10 the Medical Profession:
The various medical associations and
the medical profession will be glad to
learn that DR.. John S. Billings, surgeon
o. S. army, has consented to take charge
of the Report on the Mortality and Vital
Statistics of the United States as return
ed by the eleventh census.
AS the United States has no system of
registration of vital statistics, such as is
relied upon by other civilized nations for
the purpose of ascertaining the actual
movement of population, our census af-
fords the only opportunity of obtaining
near an approximate estimate of the
birth and death rates of much the larger
part of the country, which is entirely I'M
provided with any satisfactory system of
state and municipal registration.
In view of this, the census Office,
during the month of May this year, will
issue to the medical profession through
out the country physicians Registers"
for the purpose of obtaining more accu-
rate returns of deaths than it is possible
for the enumerators to make. It is earn
estly hoped that physicians in every part
Of the country will cooperate with the
census Office in this important work. The
iOSOiU sIioulo NC hcp0 HUH - uuo L, 1903,
to May 81, 1890. Nearly $4,000 of these
registration books were filled up and re-
TUNED in 1880, and nearly all of them
used for statistical purposes. 1t is hoped
that double this number will be obtained
for the eleventh census.
Physicians not receiving registers can
obtain them by sending their names and
addresses to the census office, and, with
the register, an official envelope which
requires no stamp will be provided for
their return to Washington.
If all medical and surgical practition-
ers throughout the country will lend their
aid, the mortality and vital statistics of
the eleventh census will be more compre-
hensive and complete than they have
ever been. Every physician should take
personal pride in having this report as
full and accurate as it is possible to make
it.
1t is hereby promised that all informa-
ton obtained through this source shall be
held strictly confidential.
ROBERT p PORTER,
Superintendent of Census.
We publish the foregoing upon
the request Of Superintendent Por-
ter. The failure of the United
States to have a system of registra-
ton of vital statistics is a reproach
to the law-making power. It is to
be hoped that every physician
throughout the country will lend
his assistance to the collection of
statistics.
