Grasshopper Catcher.

An ingenious machine is now being
used by the farmers in this vicinity by
which they rid their fields of millions
OF grasshoppers. 1t is made Of wood
tin and wire screening. 1t is 16 feet
long and about 2 l-2 feet high. The
front, which slopes outward at the
bottom, is covered with tin; below
running the full length. is an opening
a few inches in width; and the top and
back is covered with wire screen. A
horse is hitched to each end OF the
machine, and driven across the fields
of stubble or alfalfa. The grasshoppers
jump up as the machine passes along,
strike against the sloping tin and, get
ting no foothold slip down and are
drawn up through the opening into
the machine.
One farmer, G. f. Houston, gather
ed fifteen bushels of hoppers in this
way in one-half day.
Many farmers are using the ma

supply of grasshoppers is bound to be
diminished. This is the worst year
