Notice to French Farmers.

In every rural commune in France
boards are put up bearing the follow
ing instructions; This board is placed
under the protection of the common
sense and honesty Of the public.
Hedgehogs live upon mice, snails and
wire-worms-animals injurious to ag-
riculture. Don't kill hedgehog.
Toads help agriculture; each one de-
stroys 20 to 80 insects hourly. Don't
kill tcads. Moles destroy wire-worms
larvae and insects injurious to the
farmers No trace of vegetable is ever
found in his stomach; does more good
than harm. Don't kill moles. Each
department of France loses yearly
many millions of francs by the injury
done by insects. Birds are the only
enemies capable of battling with them
vigorously; they are great helps to
the farms. Children, don't take birds
nests"
