In South Dakota the grasshopper
scourge has made it's appearance in
vast numbers and a bounty of fifty
cents bushel is offered for the in
sects, which gives every boy and girl
an occupation and spending money.
This is Dakota's opportunity to raise
turkeys for the nation. The grass
hopper and the turkey were made for
each other. The scientific counsel Of
Prof. c. V. Riley is sadly missed in
times lie this, though the people of
the west have not yet brought them
selves to the adoption of his heroic
remedy for disposing of the pests,
which was to bake and eat them.
He highly recommended them and
claimed that when done crisp and
brown they had rich, nutty flavor
and were very nutritious. Up to the
present time everybody seems to
have taken his word for it.-Mail
and Breeze.
We remember in the spring of 1875,
when the grasshopper scourge took
every thing green in a large part of
Western Missouri that q Normal
School faculty conceived the brilliant
idea of testing Mr. Riley's recommend
alton. At a hotel the grasshoppers
were served au fait to the guests, in
soup, and fried, baked and boiled,
that the best taste might be acquired.
But grasshopper dinner was never
again repeated in that intellectual
resort.

A report from Topeka says: "Gen-
eral Manager Frey. of the Santa Fe,
says that his road has made arrange.
ments for 1000 extra freight cars, in
addition to the regular equipment of
the road, for the purpose of hauling
away the wheat crop of Kansas and
Oklahoma. He said: Wet weather
has somewhat delayed threshing, and
I hardly expect Kansas wheat to
move very lively until the first Of
next month. Our information is
that the wheat crop is very heavy,
and of an exceedingly good quality,
all along our lines in Kansas and
Oklahoma. It is claimed by those
who ought to know to be the best
crop by far since 1892. We may get
crowded in handling it, but it will be
. relief to be rushed once after these
long years of waiting for something
to haul"

The Model Farm.

It is becoming more and more
apparent that every farmer should
turn his attention to a greater di-
versity of crops. It is a question
whether any fruit grower or farmer
can afford to buy something which
he can produce himself. A farm is
not complete without its garden; its
chicken yard filed with fine breed
of chickens; its hog pen. full of hogs;
its barn yard, stocked with the best
milk COWS; and, in fact, everything
that can be raised for home con-
sumption. A living is then assured,
and perhaps something more; and if
the main crop be it either fruit or
grain, should prove a failure, the
farmers living is assured at any rate.
We must get down to actual business,
remarks the Colorado Farmer, the
same as all farmers do the whole
world over. There is no occupation
in life more Independent, and there
is no country in the world where
this occupation can he made more
pleasant and profitable.

Dangerous Ink.

It sometimes happens that a triding
scratch or puncture made with pen
gives rise to dangerous septicaemia.
The chemical constituents of the ink
which is introduced by the pen into
the wound are not capable of pro-
ducing septicaemia, but microscopical
examination proves that the i'll effects
are due to the liability of ink to con-
tain pathogenic bacteria. DR.. Marp-
mann of Leipsic has recently pub
lished the results of the microscopial
examination of sixty-seven samples
of ink used in schools. Most of
them were made with gallnuts, and
contained saprophytes, bacteria, and
micrococci. Nigrosin ink. taken
from freshly opened bottle, was
found to contain both saprophytes
and bacteria. Red and blue ink also
yielded numerous bacteria. In two
instances DR.. Marpmann succeeded
in cultivating from nigrosin ink q
bacillus which proved fatal to mice
within four days. This ink had
stood in an open bottle for three
months, and the inference to be
drawn from the inquiry is that ink
used in schools should always be
kept covered when not in use.-Lon-
don Lancet.

Protect the Birds.

s.John p. Marshall Of Baltimore,
says the Sun of that city, '.has q farm
in Talbot county which has become
q refuge for birds. Mr.. Marshall
protects the birds from gunners and
hunters, and will not even permit
them to be frightened BY the dis
charge of q gun on the estate. It is
said that the birds speedily recog
nized the farm as q safe retreat, and
they increased and multiplied upon
it. The English mocking birds, the
most charming song birds in Amer
lea, have become 60 tame that they
come into the barn yard and feed
with the chickens. One of the tribe
sits upon a chimney of the house
each day and sings its morning song.
The demand for mocking birds to be
imprisoned in cages is 90 great that
they are becoming scarce in the
woods and fields, where not long ago
they were SO abundant. Mr.. Mar
shall has set an excellent example
to other owners of large tracts of
land. Birds are far more beautiful
and interesting singing their melo-
dies in the trees and shrubbery
around the homes of people than
they are in hats" The Charleston
On. co. News and Courier thus COM
ments: cit is to be hoped that his
excellent example will find many imi
tations in South Carolina and
throughout the South. Every intelli
gent landholder and farmer should
initiate it. All village and town au
thorities should initiate it. With the
rapid destruction of forests in the
rest of the country the birds are be
coming scarcer every year. We
should preserve those that remain to
us. Stop the merciless slaughter of
The innocents and give them a chance
TO multiply. They are as useful as
they are beautiful, and they will re-
pay all the care that is given to
them."

While passenger hsins are run BY
schedule on many roads, freight
trains are controlled largely by tel
egraphic orders. The stops nee
essary to obtain these waste time,
subject the machinery to greater wear
and tear, and make the operation of
the road more expensive. Not long
since railway conductor, G. J. Quay,
of Meadville, Pa, patented an in
vention BY means of which dispatches
may be taken from posts without re-
ducing speed. A slender, pliable
hoop Of wood is inserted in arm OF .
post BY the roadside. A bit Of wire
that will hold q Il slip of paper is
attached. At the proper elevation q
laterally projecting arm with for
ward reaching branch may be
attached to the locomotive, and seize
the hoop in passing. or an engineer
on the lookout could take the hoop
with his hands. Two messages are
usually delivered, one to the conduc-
tor and the other to the engineer.
Mr.. Quay proposes to have a signal
lamp on post. The local operator
could show a white light meaning
call clear" and "!ook out for orders"
As the first message was caught by
the engine the signal would turn red
by the rotation of the lamp on its
axis. A separate order set at right
angles with the first would come
into position for the conductor to
seize it. If successful the lamp
would be turned another quarter way
round. The invention has been ex-
tensively tested on the Erie road be-
tween Salamanca and Meadville and
works satisfactorily. The inventor is
anxious for railroads to investigate
it.
