"bOb WHITE" OF GREAT
VALUE TO THE FARMERS
Destroys Weed Seeds, Cotton Boil
Weevil, Potato Beetle, Chinch
Bugs and Mountain Locusts.
SHOULD BE PROTECTED

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The ornitho-
logical officials of the Department of Agri-
culture have been making an investigation
of the economic value of the Bob White.
as the result of which it is now announced
that that bird is probably the most useful
abundant species on the farms" Field OBJ
servations. experiments and examinations
show that IL consumes large quantities of
weed seeds and destroys many of the worst
insect pests with which farmers contend.
and it does not injure grain. fruit or other
crops.
1t Is figured that from Sept. to April 80,
annually, in Virginia alone. the total con-
sumption of weed seed by Bob Whites
amounts to 57S tons. Some of the pests
which ii habitually destroys, the report
SAYS, are the Mexican cotton boil weevil,
which damages the cotton crop upwards of
St5.OO0.O00 a year; the potato beetle, which
CUES off 100000 from the value of the
potato crop; the cotton worms. which have
been known TO cause 600 loss in a
year; the chinCh bug and. the Rocky noun
tain locust. scourges which leave desolation
in their path and have caused losses to the
extent of Sl00,000.0o0 in some years.
The report urges measures TO secure the
preservation of the Bob Whites in this
country.

AMERICAN SILK CULTURE

Report of Entomologist of the De

Status and Prospects.
GREAT DEMAND EXISTS

WASHINGTON. May 29-Discussing the
prospects for the silk industry, Dr. L. o.
Howard. the entomologist of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, in an official treatise,
says:
1.-The department is justified in it's initia-
tory effort TO create the conditions for a
constant supply of cocoons 1t can keep
up its Keeling work and thus keep open
practically the only market existing at
present for period which must be deter
mined by the will Of Congress.
THE outlook for what we have termed
a more natural market is probematical.
There many portions of the United
States we'll adapted 10 silk raising, many
places which might well become silk CEN
tiers, where labor can be employed prac-
tically at rates comparable 10 those of
southern Europe. The establishments of a
silk mill in such location, with it's own
filature attached, with the surrounding peo-
pie employed as operatives in both filature
and mills. and with the otherwise unoccu-
pied members OF their households engaged
i'm silk raising In the spring, is feasible and
can be made 10 pay. That in some of these
WAYS the natural market will come seems
possible, and even more than possible

Herbert J. Weber. the psychologist in

estimates that the production of long staple
cotton in the United States in 1893 reached

The production, the report says, is ca
pable OF almost unlimited extension, and,
with the different varieties now known,

The above picture shows an invention
which has been patented within the past
few days. 1t is very simple. ~ strong
flexible wire forms the outline OF a mat
large enough 10 support a dish, and the
wire is extended upward in such a manner
as 10 afford a secure support for the cover
OF the dish. The mat part OF the combina-
ton is filled In with a suitable woven and
impregnable material. which serves To catch
all drippings. Another patent advantage is
that there is always place for the cover
when IL does not occupy its normal posi-
ton on the dish.
