Useful Insects.

Nearly all the lace-wings, which
include the ant-lions, aphis-lions,
dragon flies, etc, are benefit, living
wholly on other insects, and SO help
preserve our crops. Most Of the To-
Gust order are destructive, yet even
here we find the curious preying
mantis, common ut the South, with
its jaw-like anterior legs, one of the
fist of predaceous insects. True, it
attacks bees also, though it certainly
does much more good than harm.
Several bugs, like the great wheel
bug and the soldier bug, feed exclu-
sively on other insects.
or the beetles, the beautifully
spotted lady-bird beetle, the black,
long-legged ground beetles, the quick,
fierce tiger beetles, and few others,
are valuable aids in holding our in
sect pests in check. One may re-
peatedly see the grubs OF the ground
beetles eating cut-worms. The good
work of the pretty lady-hird beetles
in destroying the pestiferous plant
lice can hardly be too much appre-
ciated. OF the two-wingcd flies we
have the tachina flies, which are i'm
ternal parasites on other insects; they
resemble in form and color the house
flies, to which they are closely related.

South American Railroads.

Railroads did not begin in South
America until 1864, but in the little
more than quarter Of century that
has since elapsed their growth has
been extraordinarily rapid. Brazil
has now 5000 miles of railroad in
operation, and several thousand more
in course of construction or planned.
Great rivers favorable to navigation
traverse the best parts Of the CONT
nent, so that the facilities for COM
munication are even better than the
railroads constructed would indicate.

These also prey upon cut-worms, lay
ing their eggs on the caterpillars, and,
as these eggs hatch, the maggots eat
into their host and destroy its life.
Two other families OF two-winged
flies do much good In eating other
insects. The robber flies are so fierce
and strong they destroy even the
honey bee, while the conical maggot
of the pretty yellow-banded surplus
flies feed upon the plant lice to an ex-
tent surpassed by few other insects;
they are nearly or quite equal to the
lady-bird beetles as aphis destroyers.
Among the highest order OF insects
the one that includes the bees and
wasps-we have the ichnuemOn flies
and the chalcids-wasp-like insects
that are parasites and do incompar-
able good. They are of all sizes and
prey upon almost all kinds Of insects.
They are far more helpful to the
farmer than are the tachina flies.
They saved the wheat crop in Ohio,
Michigan, and Indiana in 1889. The
wasps also belong to this order, and
do much good; indeed, we think we
may say that the wasps are only our
friends. They are dreaded needlessly,
for, unmolested, they rarely, if ever,
sting. We have seen wasps carry of
slugs and tent caterpillars in great
numbers. Every farmer should be-
come acquainted with these friends
and learn their habits, that he may
help-not hinder-their good work.
