THE PLAGUE OF INSECTS
one-Tenth of the Total Fara Prod.
uce Of the Country Is Con-
sumed by These Pests

some clever thinkers declare that the
numperless kinds OF bugs, worms and
nles which harm the crops are . bless;ng
IN disguise, because they reduce the
output OF farm produce and SO prevent
q constant glut in the markets. saws a
writer in Massachusetts, Ploughman
AZ any rate they put skill and brains

successfully fight the new pests that
appear every year or two must know
something of which the old-timers never
heard. Even with the vigorous war
are now carried on, an authority of the
Natlonal Academy OF Science estimates
tnat one-tenth the total farm produce,
" S~ooo'ooo,ooO worth, is spoiled by in
sects every year. One-half of this is
leckoned as loss to the staple crops.
Crealt Is given to various insects about
as follows: Hessian fy's damage to
wheat, rye and hurley, one-tenth, or s4O.-
oo0, ooo; chinch bug, 1900, 900; corn
root worm, 10 to 20 per cent in manv
states, certainly averaging five per cent,
OF $S1,ooo,O0 Of the corn crop; total
10 growing cereals, $500 0 900. In e v
en-. gull states damage to corr has been
estimated at 20 per cent. and at FIVE per
cent. for the whole country, making the
total $4,000, 900. All other stored grain
IS estimated at three per cent, or 800

damage to stored grain amounting to
$60,O00,000; grass and hay, $40, 600, 900:
cotton, by the cotton worm, boll-worm
and b%oll-weevil, $4,000, 900 in 1880. Since
then this loss has decreased, but Texas

six per cent, or $40, 900, 900, to the Colo

Tor fruits, truck, domestic animals and
timber, but a moments thought will
show that the loss in these items must
be enormous, although hard to estimate
closely because of a lack of separate
statistics for loss by insects. The total
value thus destroyed is a vast annual tax
large enough to pay interest on all the
improved roads, canals and schools, that
the most sanguine friends of the farm
ers might desire. Whether suchdestruc-
ton is a concealed blessing may well
be doubted. At least nobody would
care to assert that we have not already
plenty Of harmful insects. Rather. it
should be a leading object of the sci
entists to prevent the introduction OF

One Railroad,s Method.

Now that the different railroads are an
nouncing low rates to the Pacific coast it is
interesting to note the different styles Of
advertising and the arguments adopted by
the various lines to attract the attention
of the public. The Great Northern rail-
way has announced q round trip rate to Sc
attic and other Puget Sound points of
5000 from Chicago and $500 from st.
Paul, the passenger being granted liberal
stop-over privileges and diverse routes re-
turning. These tickets will be on sale Aug.
l to IA inclusive, with Oct. Is as the final
return limit. An additional charge Of
$11.M is made for return through Califor-
MIA.
No other railroad offers more induce
ments to the sightseer or is favored with
more sceinc attractions than the Great
Northern railway. Nevertheless, while
all the other lines are exploiting their
health resorts and scenic attractions, the
newspaper advertisements and very
handsome leaflet published by the Great
Northern treat wholly on the industrial
conditions and opportunities o%fered5by the
state Of Washington. This advertising Of
of the Great Northern certainly bespeaks
the policy Of that company, and if other
western railways would follow Mr.. Hills
campaign Of industrial education it would
be far better for the West and undoubtedly
be an indirect and lasting benefit to the
railroad Observation-Disclosures Wis,

What Wa. It9

Frairpoint, Miss, Aug. 3rd.-One Of the
strangest cases ever reported occurred here
recently. The son Of Mr.. G.. l.. Butler was
very i'll. The doctor said he had some dis.
ease of the spinal cord, and treated him for
two months, but he grew worse all the time,
and finally the doctor told Mr.. Butler that
ne did not know what was the trouble.
The boy would wake up in the night and
say that he was dying. He would be nerv.
Gus and trembling and want to run out of
the house, saying he saw ugly things which
frightened him.
His father was very much discouraged till
one day he saw a new remedy called Dodd's
Kidney Pills advertised, and he at once
bought some and began to give them to his
boy.
He used altogether eight boxes before he
was entirely cured. He has not been
troubled since. Mr.. Butler says:
Il feel it my duty to tell what Dodd,e Kid
ney Pills have done for my boy. All this
remedy needs is a fair chance and it will
speak for ITSELF"
