Ray has acted wisely: The Essex and
Yorkshire hogs are the only breeds
that we know that are not carniverous.
No farmer can afford to have breed
Of hogs near his premises that will eat
chickens and lambs II one is in the
hog business exclutvely or has them in
disclosures remote from his premises,
then tho large meat eating breeds can
be handled. There is constant danger
from too many causestof hogs doing
damage for any farmer to take chances
of loss by keeping carnivcrous breeds.
As family hog" the breeds mention
ed, in our estimation stand pre-eminent,
because in addition to the above inval-
liable characteristic they aare easily
kept and will If properly pushed go TO
200 pounds in twelve months, and will
produce more meat and lard for u
given amount of food than any other
breeds-and are docile and not fence

Sending Insects to the Experiment
Station.

| From time to time various insects
are noticed doing damage in the gar
den, upon flowers and trees, and other
places. While there is general de-
sire to ascertain the names of these in
secGs and the means t.. be taken where
| by they can lie killed or their mum bers
lesen-d, yet many do aot know that all
that is needed toasG-rtain any infor-
nation about insects is to drop line to
the Entomologist OF the Mississippi Elk
pertinent Station. BY 50 doing farm
ers and others will many times receive
information that may be to their f.
nancial advantage aud will also con-
Ter favor upon the Station ,Entopoio-
gist by keeping him Informed as to
what insects are doing special damage
in particular localities. We now have
the promise of the greatest fruit crop
that has ever been grown. But with
all these fine prospects there is also the
promise that the Injurious insects will
again claim their one per cent tax. /
mean by this that insects destroy on
the average more than ope-tenth OF all
crops. The immense amount which
this means to Mississippi can hardly be
realized by one who has not given the
subject attention. But in the darkest
gloom there is most always a ras of
light. So it is regarding the damage
done by insects. BY means of improv-
ed farm practices, methods Of cultiya-
tlon, the application of insecticides by
means of spray pumps, and the plant
ing of various trap crops, we ara. in
most all cases enabled TO greatly lessen
the immense damage done by injurious
insects. Where possible. inquiries
about insects should be accompanied
by specimens Of the insects doing dam
age placed ina small,tight pasteboard
box. Postage is only one cent per-
ounce. Address all Communications
and insects to- 80.
