Berlin, Dec 5.-Referring to the

ION the contrary, Germany had done

POULTRY DESTROY INSECTS.

There is one valuable advantage OF
keeping poultry on the farm that IS gen
orally overlooked. and that is the vast
number OF insects destroyed by tneH'
saws the Farmers Advocate
If every insect destroyed by a hen In
day were counted and an estimate MADE
of the number OF insects eaten by
flock of twenty-five hens, 1t would sho"
that hens are more useful in that respect
than may be supposed.
When busily at work scratching the
hen secures many grubs and worms whne
the larvae Of insects also assist IN pro-
viding them with food.
flock of turkeys will search every
nook and corner of a field for insects
and as a turkey can consume large
amount Of food it will make away with
vast number of them each day.
The active guinea is ever on the search
over the fields for insects 1t does not
scratch. but every blade OF grass Is
looked over, and it rarely comes up 70
the BARNARD to seek food. Its industry
nrompts it TO secure its own food. ana
in so doing hundreds of insects are de-
stroyed.
The ravenous duck, whose appetite
seems ever satisfied will attempt to seek
enough in the fields, and it captures not
only insects. but the field mouse ana
small reptiles will be eaten if other 1000
is not plentiful But if insects aoounu
they will be content with eating them
