Fowls as insect Destroyers.

The value of poultry for destroying
insects is greatly underestimate. A
turkey hen, with a large brood, will
work industriously over large area
in one day, and they will consume hum
dreds of insects. During an entire
season the useful work so performed
will be very great. A flock of hens on
a range will find all the insect food de-
sired, and will need no aid from the
owner. This is we'll enough as it ap-
pears, and saves expenses, but to their
credit should be given the destruction
of insects. If some correct estimate of
the number of insects destroyed by one
hundred fowls could be made, for ono
year, the result would be astonishing.
If We could put it at half peck for
each hen. it might not be too large
but allowing only two quarts of insects
for each hen, during one year, and we
have over three bushels of insects de-
stroyed by one hundred fowls. This
means fewer insects to be killed the
next.season. We have seen q brood of
turkeys clean out all the worms in .
tobacco field in one day, and though
the adult potato beetles are injurious
to fowls, yet the hens will eat the eggs
and grubs of the beetles II given an
opportunity. The destruction of in
sects should always be. considered in
the matter of poultry management.

SUGAR FROM BEE1S.
Ono Of tho Most Profitable Of tho Worlds
Important Industries.

Ono OF tho Most Profitable OF the WORLDS
Important Industries.
The simple and inexpensive methods
adopted in the German factories have
made the beet-sugar manufacture one
of the most profitable of industries, and
the work goes on day and night. at
prime cost for conversion of two dol
lars per ton of beets, or one cent per
pound OF sugar, not estimating the cost
of the beet-root, but including labor
and all materials used, like coal, coke,
lime, charcoal, wear and tear, and in
terest on the invested capital. The
monthly disbursements of such an
establishment exceed sixty thousand
dollars. and give employment to thou
sands of wage-earners in direct and
collateral industries. One sugar COR
poration in France reported a net profit
derived from the manufacture of beet
sugar few years ago of two millions
of dollars, and the season did not ex-
tend beyond one hundred and twenty
days. Under these new conditions the
production OF beet-sugar in contine ntal
Europe has doubled in the last decade;
and, after the home populations are
supplied, the surplus is exported to
Great Britain and the United States,
reducing the price of sugar in the mar
kets of the world more than fifty per
cent.
The sugar refineries of this country
use the beet and cane sugar indiscrimi-
nately in the manufacture of the block
sugar of commerce, and the family
grocer sells the imported refined beet
sugar at a price from twenty-five to
fifty per cent. above the price of cane
sugar.
Before our late war, Louisiana pro-
duced more sugar than Germany; and
although the beei-sugar industry in the
latter country was greatly stimulated
by the high prices of sugar prevailing,
incident to the entire destruction of the
cane-sugar industry of the United
States, yet as late as 1875 the empire
produced only twenty-five hundred
tons, while for the year 1883 produc-
ton of one million three hundred thou
sand tons of sugar and saccharine re-
sultants is recorded.-A. H. Almy, in
Popular Science Monthly.

HENRY C. MINOR, Republican candidate
for Congress in the Third district of Lou
isiana, did not leave the Democratic party
five years ago and join the Republicans
for nothing. Up to 1884 he was
prominent Democrat, but he found
it convenient to go over to the
enemy which promised him more in the
way Of honors and spoils of Office. The
Republicans nominated him for Congress
in doubtful district, and last week he
telegraphed President HARRISON as follows:
"WARMoTH's appointment as collector of
the port must be withdrawn, or will with
draw from the canvass for Congress. WAR
MOTHS appointment would defeat me-"
WARMoTH is an ex-governor of Louisiana
with most odorous reputation, though his
record was not so bad as to deter the pre-
sent administration from giving him fat
office. MINOR knows that it would be fatal
to him to be allied to such notorious cor
ruptionist, and what is more, the Congress
sional candidate wants it distinctly under
stood that he is to have the distribution of
the federal patronage in his district For
that did he turn Republican. 1t remains to
be seen whether or not the President will
yield to the demands of MINOR. If he re-
fuses, the turn-coat is liable to ask to be
taken back into the Democratic fold

A COMMON THEE.

BoULANGER knew well what he was
about when he fed from France and took
refuge abroad. While he was trying to
pose as political martyr, and make it ap-
pear to the world that he was prosecuted
because of his devotion to France, he was
well aware that he was very vulgar thief
who had stolen money entrusted to him by
his government, and also that he was a
common boodler, sharing with contractors
the profits derived from furnishing sup
plies for the army. In addition to these he
was a clumsy conspirator against the re
public, scheming with enemies of the gov
eminent to overturn things and place him
self at the head of affairs. The trial just
concluded has clearly and satisfactorily de
veloped all these things, some of which the
accused admits, as the stealing of money,
which he undertakes to justify by say
ing that he gave the embezzled funds
20 the needy families of undergrad soldiers
The senate, sitting as court has found
BoULANGER guilty of embezzlement, and
sentenced him to be dcported to fortified
place, the red flag agitator RoCHEFoRT and
the blatherskite Count DILLON to accom-
Dduy ullll, JuC ldbGCL bhU nav lliE DGGu uG-
clared guilty of felonious attempt against
the safety of the state. The courts finding
and sentence prove how wise and clever
BoULANGER and his pals were in going be-
yond the reach of the tribunal They were
wise and clever because they knew what
was coming and the fate which awaited
them if they remained to face the exposure.
1t is not likely that this cheap hero will
again place himself within the power of
the nation which he has robbed and tried
10 betray. He will remain abroad, but for
tunately not as patriot, courted and hero
lied. There is nothing heroic in a common
thief, and nobody admires a man whose
schemes against his government have for
their object his own advancement rather
than the welfare Of the people. Wherever
he goes he will be despised by decent peo-
pie. We may expect that in little while
he will pass from the public gaze into the
oblivion from which he should never have
risen. 1t is no new experience for ROCHE
FORT to be denied residence in his own
country, and as for Count DILLON, he
seems to be weak fool who permitted
himself to be used by his gaming associ-
atas

their portion-these traitors to the gov
eminent, these mercenary carpet
baggers and unprincipled outcasts
actually came to the conclusion that they
had as much right to vote as have free
American settlers who have been here a
year or so! The cheek of them! Well,
that is all fixed row. We have none but
Americans on guard, and they are lot of
sleuth-hounds. The man who votes now
has got to look a little out; and, since, it is
altogether unlikely that any one who comes
to Salt Lake prior to an election can have
any other object in view than voting, it is
best to stay away. But if you will come,
go at once to JEssIEs headquarters, regis
ter your name. all your relatives names,
your pedigree, your age, fighting weight,
color of hair and eyes, if married how much
and if not when you intend to be. and
above all whether or not you expect to be
here during or Immediately preceding the
next election.
These suggestions and points are thrown
out for the good of our young friends, and
we hope they will be received in the spirit
in which they are given.

THE KILLING OF TERRY.

1t is hard thing to say, but THE HERALD
believes there will be much more rejoicing
than sorrow over the tragedy in California
on Wednesday, which is told about in our
telegraphic columns. The sorrow will be
confined to the very few personal friends of
the man slain, while the many will be
pleased, because in this instance the right
man was killed, a thing which too rarely
happens Judge TERRY was what the world
man it was before he was widely
known. Since the day when in cold blood
though in a so called duel-he murdered
Senator BRoDERIcK, he displayed only char
acteristics of badness, and proved himself
to be man to be avoided by decent people
and those who loved and respected law and
were disposed to peace. 1t will not be
doubted by those who knew TERRY person
ally or by reputation that his in
tention on Wednesday morning was
to kill Associate Justice FIELD. Weeks ago
it was published far and wide that TERRY
would slay FIELD on sight, and some of the
newspapers suggested that the associate
justice would be wise were he to forego his
accustomed visit to the state Yesterday
was the first meeting of the two men since
Justice FIELD sentenced TERRY to i'm
prisonment for contempt Of court, the
latter having drawn knife and made
criminal assault on an officer in a tribunal
over which the justice was presiding. We
will never cease to believe that had
not officer NAGLE been prompt and expert
with his pistol the slap in the face which
TERRY gave to the associate justice would
have been followed by stab, and instead
CT recording the death of worthless
wretch who lived half century too long,
the newspapers of the country would this
morning be mourning the assassination of
a good man and an upright judge.
Nor can one feel the least sympathy for
that awful creature SARAH ALTHEA HILL
TERRY. An adventures of the
most brazen and reckless type, she is tray
cling the road which women of her char
acter must follow. She will be fortunate
if her career does not suddenly end in a
tragedy as sensational as that which she
left the dining-room Wednesday morning
to avoid witnessing.

profit! Ifr,ay be very hard for those fell
lows who are STEPPED in Republicanism and
utterly calloused to all human suffering as
CARNEGIE and others of his ilk-to prove
that protection pays even until it causes
the consumers to expend more for given
necessaries than they would have to pay
but for the tariff; in fact, it cannot be
proved. But telling one falsehood to es-
cape from the consequences of another, is
only adding unmanliness TO mendacity
When man pays six dollars a ton for
coal that he could get for five but for the
tariff on it, he is paying dollar more than
the natural and uninfiated state Of trade re-
quires. The Republican press try to make
him understand that that extra dollar, while
it goes to no special fund for any purpose,
and is not needed by the government at ALL
is contribution on his part to a safety
measure-that is, it has a tendency to keep
foreign coal out; our own miners by such
means do not compete with the laborers in
foreign pits and can thus keep their wages
up to decent figure, and by being able on
their part to pay more for all they get, the
benefit from the dollar expended comes
around to all of US. They stick to this
criminal foolery even in the presence of
Italian and Hungarian miners brought over
under contract by coal barons to work for
fifty cents day, where the dupes who
voted the Republican ticket with the hope
of having their wages raised were getting
dollar and half and are rapidly being
thrown out of work altogether Would it
not be better to compete with the coal
miners of England while they remain on
their own soil than to be cut down and
starved out by lower class of foreigners
right in our own midst! Would it not be
an improvement for those who own coal
mines in the United States to be compelled
to sell to the people for dollar ton less
by taking off the duty, than to permit them
to have it all their way while the toiling
millions suffer the penalty of their law
protected exactions, not only by affording
them greater profits than legitimately be-
long to the business, but by gradually re-
ducing our subterranean laborers to serf-
dom under the villainously hypocritical
cry of ''protection!n We should think so.
Protection not only does not protect, but
in a majority of instances it pillages, plum
ders and devours, as is shown in the fore
going.

Sherman's Bill to Govern Elections of
Congressmen and Electors

WASHINGTON, January Sth.-The bill intro
duced by Senator Sherman to-day, proposing
numerous changes in the laws regulating the
election of Congressmeu, provides that after
May !, 1890 elections for Representatives in
Congress shall be conducted according 10 the
provisions of the BILL and the Legislatures of
the States may direct the election of Presidential
Electors n he same manner. The expense of
elections in such cases is tobe paid out of the
Federal Treasury.
The bill authorizes the President 10 appoint
with the approval of the Senate-five qualified
voters in each State, to be known Board of
State Canvassers, and three voters in each Con-
gressional District, to serve as an Electoral
Board. the appointees to hold Office during good
behavior. The Electoral Board of each Con-
gressional District shall appoint Res lister and
three Judges not all of the same political party
for each election district, or precinct, to hold
office for six years: subject, however, to
removal for misconduct. The Electoral
Board is given power to increase the
number of election precincts wherever
Judge aud Judges at any precinct may ap-
point bystanders III place of any Judge or Judges

GRAPES AND WINE.
yiniculturists Discuss Matters Affecting
the Grape Industry.

INC 0Ttpo inuusITys
SAN FRANIsCo, January Sth.-A meeting of the
Grape-Growers and Wine Makers Association
was held this morning at l30 Post street. H. ".
Mcintyre, of Vina, acted as Chairman, and f.
H. RiXferd, of this city, was Secretary. The
committee, consisting OF Charles Krug, H. w.
Crab5, f. Pohndorff, 1. DeTurk and ]. H.
Wheeler, which was appointed last August 10
prepare an address concerning the difficulties
under which the industry is laboring, reported.
The report, which has heretofore appeared, was
adopted.
Mr.. DeTurk advocated the organization OF
county v1ticutural societies. to gather statistics
and facts concerning the industry. They should
also appoint delegates to the State organization,
which could then, from the report OF these dele
gates, ascertain the amount of wine produced
i'll the state If this amount was found to be in
excess OF the demand next season each winner
should be required to distill his percentage of
the excess into brandy. By this means the price
OF wine, instead of being u to 10 cents per gal
Ion, would range from 25 to 80 cents Mr.
DeTurk advocated the establishment of cen
tral co operating dis.ilery for the purpose of
manufacturing brandy from the excess OF wine.
Our brandy is not uniform which is very detri-
mental to this branch of the industry.
The establishment of large storage ware
houses near New York for wines and brandies
was suggested by Mr.. De Turk Wine improves
faster in that climate than here and storage
cooperage Is cheaper
1t was stated that there was an objection to
Mr.. Ce Turk plan for a central distillery, as
the freight would be considerable, and the
ulSllllSIleS was TecOlQ-
mended.
The statement was made that there is very
little trouble in drying grapes. If the ground
was dusty 1t should be covered with slight
amount of straw. The grapes should be taken
from the stems soon as dried.
Mr.. Portal stated that in drying grapes moth
ing is lost but the moisture; the wine-making
qualities all remain. Consequently, equally as
good wine may be made from dried as from
green grapes.
Mr.. Schell brought up the matter concerning
the removal of the internal revenue tax from
spirits used in fortifying sweet wines.
The Chair was requested to appoint a COM
mittee to consider the question. The COM
mittee consists of Messrs J. B. J. Portal, A.
Schell, Z. G Priber and John H. Wheeler.
The statement was made that there is much
opposition in France to the importation into
that country of dried grapes for wine-making
purposes, and an attempt would be made to
prevent such importation.
The fact was brought out that sweet wines are
selling so low as TO snow conclusiyely that fraud
is being committed
