localities the quail has been almost ex- terminated simply for sport, which is one of the most expensive luxuries enjoyed by man if he only knew it. The birds that remain over Winter, or which do not leave until late in the fall, to appear early in winter, feed not only on insects, but on the seeds of many plants which the farm CT does not desire in his field, and the reduction in the number of these birds is largely increased by cats, which feast upon the young in the nests in spring and which also destroy the eggs. This is a disturbance of the order of creation, and reduces the profits of the farmer while destroying the guardians of his crops. The English sparrow in the country could be easily kept in check by the sparrow hawk and the well-known screech owl
 the latter preying upon them at night and the former during the day, especially in Winter, If the farmer would allow them; but on the approach of his natural friends he seizes a shotgun and puts an end to age to his grain crops in the growing sea- son, which he protects and allows to null | tiply without hindrance
 The subjects most to be considered by | farmers at their meetings is not so much | the destruction of insects and field mice
 as the protection of the birds that de- stroy the pests, and this production should l bC eAleHuSu tO lHe OWL anu ndWk, dS well
 as to those animals which keep rabbits in
 check The loss of poultry cannot happen | if such birds are given the same care and
 attention as other stock and if the farm
 CT will consider the matter carefully he
 will notice that he loses but few chicks
 by the hawk compared with those appro-
 priated by cats, yet he destroys the one
 and pets the other. A single dog in a
 community will do more damage to sheep
 in one night than all the wild animals in | a year, but the losses to farmers from
 depredations of foxes are SO small as to
 be hardly noticeable. The song birds that | are said to be driven away by the English sparrow would return If the hawk and owl were unmolested. from the fact that the large majority of birds migrate, the sparrow remaining as food for the car
 nivorous birds, but the widest sparrow is sufficient wise to remain close to the haunts of men, where he is safe from his enemies. In winter no crops are grow ing, and there are but few. If any, small chicks. But little damage can be done
 the farmer by hawks, crows and owls at that season. while in Summer they can secure food inabundance elsewhere, hence they should be given opportunities for keeping the sparrow within bounds

SPECTACULAR SUICIDE.
William Wilkerson Kills Himself to
 Prevent Capture.

North Vern. Ind, Sept, 23.-William Will kerson. a citizen of this place, while intoxicated, drove his family from home. Marshal Schwake was appealed to and upon entering the premises was warned by Wilkerson to proceed no further. The marshal paid no attention. and was shot and instantly killed by Wilkerson.
 Wilkerson immediately started for the country and a posse was organized to pursue him. Later a riot alarm was turned in and many citizens joined in the chase. A half mile from town Wilker- son was surrounded. but killed himself with the same gun with which he shot Marshal Schwake. Wilkerson was for merly guard at the Indiana reformatory in Jacksonville.

DEFREDATIoNs ON FARMS.
Increase of Insects Which Cause
 Heavy Losses.
Philadelphia Record.

The great increase of insect pests In orchards and gardens entails an enorm- ous expense upon the farmers of this country, and yet 1t is possible that the farmer himself is at fault to certain extent by assisting in the destruction of animals and birds that would perform for him valuable service if permitted. Beasts and birds of prey are sufficient to prevent any alarming increase of birds that are capable of doing harm, but nearly all birds are carnivorous to some extent, as they can subsist on animal food Birds prey upon worms, and the natural in- crease of all kinds of insects would soon render the earth uninhabitable by man but for the assistance given him by the creatures which he so ruthlessly destroys without regard to future consequences
 The carnivorous animals and birds do mot increase as rapidly as the kinds upon which they prey, and single lion or uger may serve to prevent district from be- ing overrun with graminivorous animals. If such condition did not exist the result would be famine. As the forests are cleared the destructive animals and birds are driven away or restricted in their capacity to do harm. but man seems to become himself a beast for prey and vyantonly destroys for the pleasure of so doing. He considers certain animals. such as the fox, hare. raccoon. opossum and mink as game" the hawk and owl De- ing always regarded as his foes. He adopts the dog and cat, the latter being more destructive to birds than any other animal as 1t is not only active and some what nocturnal in habit, but also climbs trees. The fox. opossum and raccoon are among the most useful animals known as they seek their food where field mice and ground insects abound. The little damage done by them Is not worthy of consideration compared with the service performed. The only apology for their destruction Is the ocasional loss of poul- try, but no careful farmer will leave his poultry unprotected from danger at night. The farmer has not yet discovered a method for preventing the destruction of his crops by field mice and insects, but he devotes more time to seeking the lives of his friends, the owl and hawk than
 he gives to the insects which he cannot control The damage to a portion of the corn and fruit by animals and birds is fnsignifcant compared with the almost
 complete destruction of crops by insects.
 The mole, which ridges the earth simply
 does so while destroying grubs, as moles
 consume them in large numbers. The quail, which is harmless, is forced by
 necessity in the fall and winter to search for food under every leaf and in every
 spot where an insect and worm can be
 found, during which time SO spent they
 destroy thousands of insects, but in some

A CARD OF THANKS TO
 THE PEOPLE OF ALABAMA.

On February, 1st. THE TRAVEL FRS INSURANCE COMPANY of Hartford, Conn.,, instituted a CON- TEST among its Agents, alloting to eacn State in the Union and Canada, and to Each Agent, given amount of Life and Accident Business to be written before July 31st. The re- suit of that Contest has just been an- nounced and the firm of B. J. Veil and Co. State Agents for Alabama have been awarded FIRST HoNORS In addition to this, seven Alabama Agerts won distinction. A Conven- tion of 65 successful Agents will be held in Hartford early in October. Alabama will have eight places out of Sixty-five; thus, ALABAMA LEADS in every way.
 A grander tribute to honest meth ods and fairness in Life and Acci- dent Insurance than evidenced by the people of Alabama can scarcely be iInagiEet..
 While it is a great compliment to The Travellers Insurance Company it also demonstrates, beyond question, that the people of our beloved State known how to discriminate between the good and the bad in Insurance and that correct methods will always win.
 In behalf of The Travellers Insur- ance Company, our Agents and our selves we desire to offer our sincere thanks
 Very Truly Yours,

and the future no hope for the pessimist | l choose to be an optimist, and prefer to see bright future for the great state of Alabama even if an elementary education Is put within the reach of every boy and girl in the State. 2, The negro's labor is needed every where. What are the lands in our black counties worth without his labor. We may talk as we please about immigration, but believe that for long time to come we must depend on what we have. Let us take hold then, give more time to building up than to tearing down schools, improve the schools direct the labor more, and make it more productive. Many of our best plantations have been ruined by the ignorant renter who knows no better.
 The future of this school should be- set tied by the Legislature strictly on its merits, and no vicarious punishment should be meted out to 1t. Yesterday for ty-one members of the House voted against postponing the bill. I presume these would have voted for 1t. It Is to be hoped that this statement will give them some assurance that they took the right view of this matter. There were forty-nine votes cast for, the postpone ment Many of these were consistent and conscientious in doing so, as they had voted against the white normal schools. The votes of these men did not mean opposition to negro education, To these men would say-with our State Univer- sity. Polytechnic Institute. Girls Indus trial School, four normal schools and nine agricultural schools for our own children, can we notstretch a point and help this one negro normal school. the property of the State.
 There may be some who look upon the vote yesterday as a proof that a majority of our representatives are opposed to col ored schools. I do not view it this way, and hope that the bill may yet be taken up and passed.
 If any one should desire to investigate the school and its work would say that 1t is withins one mile of the Capitol, and open for inspection at any time.
