Value Of Common Game
Birds to Farmer.
Economic Protection to Nation
And Should be Pro-
ted.

M costs the farmer every year SovV'
600. 1000 for the damage done by bugs
and worms. The chief offenders are
the cotton bollweevil, that has done
$4,000, 900 damage In single year;
the chinchbug, that has cost the corn
growers 100000 a year and the
wheat growers a similar amount; the
Hessian fly, that occasions AN annual
loss OF about 100000 bushels OF
wheat; the Rocky Mountain locust
that invadss certain of the plains
States like a plague of Egypt; the
potato beehle, that robs the potato
growers of s1O,0o0,O00 yearly, and
those insects which ssem to thrive
best in the home and the truck gar
den.
OF all these the rhinch bug is the
worst, because of Its yearly prevailenc
its wide distribution, Its enormous
fecundity, its faw enemies and It's
attacks upon all the CEREALS and most
forage plants. The general losses
caused by these bug alone are esh-
mated ait more than $l00, 100000 an
nuakly. 1t is one fifth OF am inch,
covered with short black hair, has
white under wings and a rapugnant
odor, which probably accounts for the
small number of its foes. Among the
bugs and worms that the average man
has to contend with as dangerous
menaoes to his garden are tine various
species of cutworms, wlrawoullSs and
white grubs, the squash-bug (which
may be Recognized by Its yellow and
black stripes), the potato besle,army
worms-that take their Name from
their marching i'm great n1mbers-and
the striped garden caterpillar.
With such enamies to face it is
indeed weAl that Providence has pro-
pided for the defense of man. Our
foes have their foss; and only i'm this
why is the balance maintained. INSECT:

Such a statement, coming from
the cashier of a bank, shows what
confidence responsible people have
in these pills. Mr.. A. L. Wilson
after trying them wrote:
