The Portuguese government appealed to
the United States Department of Agri-
culture for aid, and full reports of the
results attained by the Vedalia were
sent, as we'll as some Of the insects
themselves. The reports seemed so in
credible that they were put down az
American "brag," and Of the adults
and larvae sent, no adult and only five
larvae survived. A second shipment
was made on November 5, 1897, that
reached Lisbon in fairly good condition
on December 10. The experience of
the United States was repeated, and
Portugal was freed from the scale.
This shows the true mode of pro-
ceeding when dealing with injurious
plants or animals, but it is one that
must be entered with care. AS ia
maica found with the mongoose. the
remedy may be worse than the disease,
and the life history of the ''bane'' must
be known as we'll or better than that
Of the pest. 1t has been suggested
that the European startling be intro,
duced to reduce the English sparrow,
those suggesting it claiming that the
birds are natural enemies. This is not
true to any great extent, as the two
live together in Europe; but even
granting the ability of the starting to
destroy the sparrow, there is no rea
son to think that it's attention will be
confined to this one species. 1t is to
be hoped that this experiment may not
follow the naturalization of this pro-
life and predaceous bird are serious in

Pests and Their Antidotes.

Throughout all of living nature
there is a ceaseless warfare going on
in which each animal or plant is ell
deavoring to obtain advantages for it,
self at the expense Of some other or
ganism. From the highest to the low
est, each living being has some "bane,"
some enemy that seeks it's destruction,
and in turn it is the pursuer of some
other creature to which it is a relent-
less foe
This makes the "struggle for exist
ence," and in this struggle only those
forms that are peculiarly adapted ror
defense or concealment will escape and
propagate their kind. But for this
check, even the animals whose rate of
increase is the lowest would ovorrun
the earth, and become a merace to
the remainder of organic beings.
For this reason it is always dam
gerous thing to introduce new animal
or plant into a region in which it's nat
ural enemy may be missing The
United States has had several disas-
trous experiences Of this sort, and all
civilized countries are now on the
alert to prevent them One of the
most striking illustrations of the dam
ger is given by the history of the
Gypsy Moth.
In 1868, Leopold Trouvelot, a noted
scientist, was making some researches
into the Reproducing organisms, and
for this purpose he imported a few
specimens of the Gypsy Moth (Porthe-

practiced in the United States. Indeed,
without such protection any efforts to
cut the timber with a view to repro
ductiOn or to plant new forests are
useless. Various measures to guard
against forest fires have been adopted
in different localities. For example, in
the Atlantic pine belt many forest
owners burn off the upper layer Of
leaves and needles in the early spring
in order to prevent the spread of fire
later in the season.
In Michigan, lumbermen have en-
deavored to lessen the danger from fire
by looping and burning the brush left
after numbering. The cutting Of fire
strips along railroads, and even within
precaution against fires. But COM
mon and very effective way to guard
against fire is careful watching Many
large owners of forest land employ
number of men as a fire PATROL and
often an extra crew of watchers is
hired during the dangerously dry sea-
sons. In the same way many lumber
companies which own logging rail-
roads, employ a man to follow the
trains and put out any fires that may
be started
The foregoing is extracted from a
circular by Clifford Pinchot, forester of
the United States department Of Agri-
culture. The yearbook of 1899 will
consist of a resume of the achieve
ments of this country in every branch
of science relating to agriculture and
will be prepared with a view to it's
special distribution at the Paris expo
sition. The division of forestry will
contribute short history of forestry
in the United States and also an ac-
count of the efforts Of private land
owners to apply the principles of for
estry. An impression widely prevails
abroad that little or nothing has been
done in the United States i'll the way Of
forestry. This impression, Mr.. Pin
chot thinks, the yearbook ought to re-
move, and, in seeking information re-
garding such forest work as has been
described, he earnestly invites CORE
spOndence from those who have done
any work along the lines of forestry

nyanclnth. 1t is very ornamental ana
a few years ago a landowner on the
st. Johns river, in Florida procured
a small number for pond on his es-
tate. They increased rapidly and filed
up the pond, WhereupOn the owner had
them gathered up and thrown into the
river. The experiment was unfOrtu-
nate. Free from natural enemies, the
hyacinths have fOurished so that on
many streams navigation is practically
impossible. From shore to shore there
spreads an impenetrable sheet of vege>
tatiOn that entangles paddles, oars, or
propellers, and arrests all manner of
refuse that should go to the sea. From
time to time bodies Of this growth be
come detached and drift down until
salt water is reached, when the plants
die and are cast ashore in putrescent
heaps. A natural enemy has been
sought, but as yet, no appreciable re-
suit has been accomplished. In Bra
zil, small red spider lives on the
hyacinths, and it is said to be injurious
to it. This spider has been introduced
into Florida, but no effect has been per-
ceived.
Other instances of a similar charac>
ter will suggest themselves. The
RUSSIAN THISTLE is a striking instance
of the spread of the land pest. and the
spread of the English sparrow with the
alleged evils that have followed it, is
another.
Failure has not met all efforts to en-
terminate pests, and in several cases
the successes have been brilliant Some
years ago a new insect was introduced
into California from Australia. 1t is
small insect, and soon after Matching
it enjoys a brief period of freedom
during which it can move about. 1t
moves but a few inches, however, and
then settles down for life. 1t inserts
tube into the bark Of the tree, covers
itself with waXy scale, and raises a
| brood
This scale is imperviOuS to water and
protects the owner from ordinary in
sectides 1t is covered by fine cOrruga-
lions and from this fact the insect has
received the name Of futed scale.
Scientifically it is the Icerya purchase,
and it grows in such numbers that an
affected tree looks as though it were
whitewashed.
Soon after it's introduction the futed
scale spread through the orange and
lemon groves Of California, and threat
ened them with destruction. 1t was
known that in Australia it was not a
serious pest, so an agent OF the Agrl-
cultural Department was dispatched to
study it's native habitat. He discover.
ed that a red ''lady bug" the Novius
cardinals preyed on the scale and kept
it in check, so he brought a number Of
them to this country Only a few sur
vived the long voyage, but those few
were tended with scrupulOus care, and
when their number had increased suffi-
GENTLY. they were turned loose on the
infected trees. Within a short space
of time the trees were cleared, and at
present the scales are being reared to
preserve the lady bugs in case of an
other outbreak. When the lady bug

once gave the alarm. The fugitives
were carefully sought and the ground
about the window was burned over in
hope of destroying them. Subsequent
events showed that this .precautiOn
was futile. The inhOspitable climate
of New England retarded the increase
of the moths, but during the succeed
ing twenty years they gained in num-
bers, and in 1889 they had become
devasting army. About the towns CT
Medford and Maiden, Mass, the
worms overwhelmed everything. All
plant life was threatened; trees Of all
sorts were stripped of their foliage,
houses and fences, clothes hung out TO
dry, passing vehicles, everything that
afforded Judgment became covered
with the squirming bodies, and the air
was laden with the nauseOus odOr Of
the lOathsOme green worms. Nothing
seemed to produce any effect on them,
and so grave was the menace that the
State authorities had to interfere. A
commission was appointed in 1890, and
in March Of that year $4,000 was ap-
propriated for the purpose of externl-
mating the moths.
A large number Of men were set to
work. The worms, nests and eggs
were gathered by pailfuls and burned:
the trees were sprayed with Paris
green, and walls were scraped to de-
stroy eggs.
In June an additional appropriation
of $4,000 was made, and the work
prosecuted with the greatest vigor;
but the numbers of the pests defied all
efforts. In 1891 the appropriation for
destroying the moths was $4,000, in
1892 it was raised to $75,OOO and In
1893 and 1894, 100000 for each year
was expended; while in 1895 the State
gave S15O,OOO on this account. In six
years more than half a million was
used and the infected area was but lit
tie reduced.
Of late years the Gypsy Moth Com
mission has had better success. The
female moth is unable to fly, and so
the area over which she can deposit
eggs is restricted The relentless war
fare waged on them has at last pro-
duced results. and it may be said that
this pest is under control. The cost
of it's suppression has been enormous.
The direct monetary expenditure is
large, and the indirect losses occasion
ed by these vOraciOus creatures can
not be estimated.
An example of the unexpected re-
suits that may follow the Introduction
of strange inhabitants is given by the
mOngOOse of Jamaica. The sugar mills
of the island were infested with rats.
Cats, as usual, proving useless, a num-
Der Of mOngOOse were imported to de-
stroy the rats. The mongoose rapidly
accomplished this end, and having eX-
terminated the rats, sought other food.
Birds became the victims, and the vo-
raciOus intruders even learned to climb
trees in pursuit of eggs and nestlings.
The mongoose is very prolific, and as
the birds diminished under the increas-
ing numbers of their new enemy, in

RALEIGH SENSATIONS.
Forgery in Legislative Act-The
BOnrd of Agriculture.

4
RALEIGH, y. c.. April 25.-(Special)-
There are two sensations here, the first
being the discovery Of forgery in the
act of the Legislature abollshing the Rail
way Commission. The journals of the
Senate and House show it was ratified
March 4th. pat I'm the en- Clled act the
figure is written over the 1. The enroll
ing Clerks book show the act was rati-
fed on the 4th. II was the purpose to
have the act take effect March fth, so
as TO allow an interval 10 elapse between
the date Of the abolition of the commits
sion and the creation OF the Corporation
Commission. \ trial of title is now in
progress in court here, and this forgery
is a most important thing for the Fusion
ist Railway Commissioner, who contends
for a place on the Corporation Commits
sion. The Speaker of the House and Sen
ate and House clerks are here as wit
nesses, and all say forgery"
The other sensation Is caused by the
Fusion members Of the Board Of Agri-
culture notifying the Democratic members
as rapidly as they arrive that the Fusion
lists decline to recognize the latter and
pay 10 attention to the last Legislature,
recognizing only Governor Russell as hav-
ing power 10 appoint the Commissioners
Of Agriculture.
The Democratic members Of the board
are here and say they are going TO enter
the agricultural building tomorrow at
ternoon and take charge at all hazards.
There will assuredly be trouble if the
Fusionists try to stop them, as the Demo-
Gratis are thoroughly aroused. The Flu
sionists met with the Democrats in March
and elected John 5. Cunningham, chair
records Of that meeting and rescind their
action.
