Skunks Enemies of Caterpillars.

A new field of usefulness has been
found for the much-ridiculed skunk in
the fact that it is vigorous enemy of
the full-grown range caterpillars. Birds
are of no service whatever in destroy

devour quantities of them, and this is
another reason why these little crea-
lures should receive more considera-
tion than they now do.

 Tonight's caucus, the second one on the shipping bill, is for the purpose <of passing upon a number of amend ments.
