The Case Not Hopeless.

In spiteo these adverseconditions
the case is by no means hopeless.
There is no need of giving up cot
ton altogether. 1t will be necessary
to reduce the acreage, to devote
late lands to other crops, and to
pay more attention to cultivation
than even the best of the old time
planters have. The Bureau of En-
tomology will continue its work
There is hope that the better meth
DDS will be perfected. The parasites
of the weevil are beginning to be in
evidence. AS many as 15 per cent.
of the weevils in a field at .Natchez
were found to have been killed by
these parasites during the first year
after the original invasion. To find
death rate from this cause of 25
per cent. in Texas is not uncommon.
Practical work has shown that the
work of these enemies of the weevil
can be increased, and in this lies the
best hope of the Valley planter.

THE BURYIEG BEETLE.
Dead Mice and Birds Seereted as Food
For Its Young.

Dead Mice and Birds Secreted as Food
For Its Young.
People often wonder what becomes
of the dead mice and dead birds, for,
though birds and mice are constantly
dying in large numbers, hardly one is
ever to be seen. The fact is that they
are buried by beetles. Buchner gives
a brief account of them as follows:
Several of them unite together to
bury under the ground, as food and
shelter for their young, some dead ami
NAL, such as a mouse, toad. mole,
a bird. etc. The burial is performed
because the corpse, if left above
ground, would either dry up or grow
rotten or be eaten by other animals.
In all these cases the young would
perish. whereas the dead body lying in
the earth and withdrawn from the
outer air lasts very well.
1.-THE burying beetles go to work in
a very well considered fashion, for
they scrape away the earth lying I'M
der the body so that it sinks of itself
deeper and deeper. When it is deep
enough it is covered over from above
If the situation is stony, the beetles.
with united forces and great efforts
drag the corpse to some place more
suitable for burying. They work so
diligently that a mouse, for instance
is buried within three hours. But they
often work on for days, so as to bury
the body as deeply as possible. From
large carcasses. such as those Of horses,
sheep, etc.. they only bury pieces as
large as they can manage"
There can be no doubt of the intelli-
gence of these strange insects, as a
gentleman discovered in a rather curl
Gus way. He desired to dry a dead
toad, and for that purpose he fastened
it upon the top of an upright stick.
The burying beetles. however, were
soon attracted by the smell, and, find
ing that they could not reach the toad.
they undermined the stick. causing 1t
to fall with the toad, which was then
duly buried.-Our Animal Friends.
