,ysrRUcT1ys THE FRENCH COUNTRY FOLK.

From The Chicago Times-Herald
In the country districts In France boards are put
up telling people what animals and insects should
NOT be killed and tho reason. and also which ones
should be exterminated in order TO afford protec-
fjon to the farmer. First on the board Is this
"This board is placed under the protection OF the
common-sense and honesty OF the public"
And OF course, after that no boy or man would
mar or remove the board Then follow these in
structons: IT. , ,
worms-animals injurious to agriculture. Don't
kill hedgehog. - .
Toad helps agriculture, destroys twenty 10
thirty insects hourly. Don't kill toads.
Mole destroys wire worms, larvae and insects
Injurious to the farmer. No trace OF vegetables Is
ever found in his stomach; does more good than
harm Don't kill moles.
"Cockchafer and its larvae-deadly enemy 70
farmers; lays seventy to one hundred eggs. XIII
"Rirds-Each department OF France loses yearly
many millions OF francs by the injury done by IN
sects Birds are the only enemy capable Of battling
with them vigorously they are great helps 10
farmers Children, don't take birds nests"
And so on the Instructions read Among the
animals which need killing on a farm are mice and
rats and the reason they increase In spite of the
constant warfare OF cats and dogs Is because the
bows on the farm kill the animals that would de-
story the pests If they had chance.
