HOW THE STATE AIMS TO AID THE FARMER. WOHK OP1 T11K ECONOMIC ZOOLOOIHT. Dr. H. T. Fernnld, who bus recent ly been nppointcd Economic Zoolog ist to the Departmentof Agrienlttire of Pennsylvania, describes bis duties 11s being the investigation of nil kinds of animals which ore injurious or beneficial io field and garden crops fruit, stock and other agriculture interests of the state. That this is nn important work shown hy the estimates prepared by coni))etent per sons at different times and in various parts of the United States. Those estimates agree in placing the an nual loss, due to the attacks of in sects and other enemies of tho far mer and fruit, grower, at ono-tenth of his entire crop. In other words the farmer, in an ordinary year, pnys n direct tax to Nature of one tenth of all her products, while in seasons when the pests are unusu ally abundant the loss may be as much as one-quarter. If we apply these facts to a few only of tho crops of Pennsylvania we find that tho estimated value of the Wheat, Oats, Rarley, Hay, Corn Potatoes and Tobacco produced in the State during 18U6 was 80,749,00 while if losses by insect and other similar causes bad been prevented, it would have dnen nearly 190,000,000 showing that on these crons alone, the loss to tho State each year is nearly i 0,000,000. This is a large sum and it would seem impossible, if it were not that it bus always ocenrod, and a yeor without it has never boon known. It is only when the loss is greater than usual, that tho damage is felt, and remedies are sought. Yet more than half of this destruction could bo prevented if ft knowledge of bow to protect crops from their foes was general. It is to this lino of work that the Zoologist intends to direct his ef forts, offering to all who aro inter ested, information how best to pre vent theso losses, or to chock the foe when it has already appeared. In order to do this, and accom plish tho most fur-reaching rosults he desires anyone who finds his crops of any kind affected by any insect or other animal, to write him, sending samples of the injuries, and if possible, of the animal which causes the trouble. All such letters will be promptly answered with sug gestions of tho best ways to prevent farther damage, and if the trouble 1)0 serious a personal examination wll be mado All such letters should be sent to the State Zoologist, Department of Agriculture, at Hurrisburg. Bulletins describing injurious in sects and other animals, the work they do, and how to treat them will also bo published, both in the news papers and as pamphlets for distri bution. It is hoped in this way to induce tho pooplo of the State to use the opportunities which have boon prepared for thorn by the Leg. islature in this lino, and in tho end, save many millions of dollars each your. A SOLILOQUY STORY OK OLD DOl TRAY BUOOE8T6 REFLECTION. Seemingly we have a faint recol lection that at some time in the past of having read in a soripture lesson, or Den Quixote or something of that sort, of some good man having fallen among thieves and other disreput able gentry and being robbed, beaten and otherwise maltreated. Perhaps it U partly the primer lesson of old dog Tray that still lingors in memory and has bocomo mixed up and a part of other matter that at some time or other has gono into tho storehouse of mind for a time of need. At anv rate this seems a time oi need, my time of need, and "Houost Johns" remind'Tlast week that my picture isinthe "Mickey's" rogues gallery to bo made sport of by low buffoons, uiLTgosts to mo that I deserve some thing of the like sympathy that any stood man is entitled to who has fall en among thieves. It is possible that I am figuratively like old dog Tray and am in, or have been in bad company. To theoxtent that I have i'l the past joined issue with a "Sand Bur", a "Ninetti," and au "Honest? John," I plead guilty. He who k'indles coals will be defiled to some extent, and while it has been some times a pleasure to jab tho pen into their dirty epidermis, it has always lieen ignoble work for the pun. To roughly handle the mephitis amor-l.-ana is to provoke a noisome o lor, and how should I expect that the stirring up of these animals, in the stylo tint seoine I no sossary , would not result in something to equal the monkey cage in tl.e Zoological Gur lons. Virily j e have turre t tkeshop into a den of thieves, and tho trans gressions of its living pictures are a steueh in the nostrils of decency. U. Just try a 10c box of Cusearets the finest liver and bowel regulator ever made. ON THE CRACKER BAR. REL. KKWSY ITKM8 FROM HINUMANS FF.HHY. I have returned from my vaca tion and on opening the box left for items, found little in it except trnsh, which consisted of poetry, dime novels, blood and thunder lilernt uro. codfish couchnnt, pigmy warriors, etc. Among the good things was that spiko from tho Nail Keg of Montague, which ponotrntod the minds of our voters, and at the last election, they voted in the Jersey style for whom they pleased. The result so far is flattering, for they selected and elected four good sniHrrvisors, who are racing neck and nock to see who will do the most and best work on the roads. Tho tax is about all worked and they will come nndor the wire near ly even. One is quite handicapped by a few road-hogs, who will not furnish the material which mokes first class highways. They have plenty of it which is renlly in their way and would be a benefit to them to be removed. I noticed that II, of Layton, was missing last week, but I hope he is not lost for 1 want him to know that my box contained an item about my Lazy John. His honest John is not in it with my John, who went to Brooklyn last full after I fitted him with a pair of walking shoos, and now wants to return and fish for trout. Ho will recoive a warm reception if he returns to this County. Bchnltz, the Now Yorker, who pulled hemp in Milford last yonr, was told to get out and stay out, but he foolishly came back and put us to a lot of trouble and expense to got rid of him. My John has a criminal charge lodged against him here and if be comes back he may get free board for awhile and we will ha ve to pay the bills. I have a twin brother it seems. Well, Ciesar is all right. I notice that the samo rot which was nib bling at U.S. V's heels, was after mino and yours while I was gone and is still at them. Dick, of Montague, seems to have left and his place is taken by Fritz, of the Brick Hou.so. Kind regards to unser Fritz. Run Von Gordon is a model In nd lord. He caters libornlly to all comors and has erected a. fresh woter pump and bucket, to rofresh the four-legged donkeys, and fur nishes a glass to rofrosh tho other kind, who are fond of clear, pure, water. E. P. U. A Rather Poor Job. It has often been romarkod that when a man boa tod that he was self made he generally relieved the Almighty of considerable responsi bility for an indifferent piooe of workmanship and in the story of Dr. Talrnago given below from the Ladies' Home Journal he seemed willing to have the odium of a Door Job. rest on a membor of bis familv rather than attempt to shift it. I ue famous Dr. Talmage has a son Frank, who has followed his into the pulpit and is now a pastor in Ulncngo. Naturally, it has often interested the f rionds of both to know the opin ion of the Elder Talmage of his son's powers as a preachor. One day a seodily dressed and un kempt beggar annroached Dr. Tal mage for alms, the famous clergyman does not, however, believe in en oonraging the practice of bogging. Seeing that he wasplayinga helpless game he said as a lost argument : "But, Dr. Talmasre. I am 0110 of your son 'a con verts. "A quizzical look came into the clergyman's eyes as be regorded his unkempt implorcr from head to foot, and romai-k.'d with a grin, "Well, you look like one Of Frank's jobs". Ancient History.
