RISTON'S.
How the State Alms to Aid the Farmer.
Dr. II. T. Fernnld, who has recently
been appointed Economic Zoologist to
the Di-pnrtmont of Agriculture of
Pennsylvania, describes his duties as
being the Investigation of all kinds of
anliniilH which nre injurious to field and
gnrden crops, fruit, stock and other
agricultural Interests of tho state.
That this Is Hn Important work is shown
by the estimates prepared by competent,
persons at different times Bnd In various
parts of tho United States. These esti
mates agrco in placing the annual loss,
due to tho attacks of Insects and other
enemies of the farmer and fruit grower,
at one-tenth of his entire crop. In
other words, the farmer, In an ordinary
year, pays a direct tax to Nature of one
tenth of all hn produces, whilo In
seasons when tho pests lire unusually
abundant the loss may bo as much as
one-quarter.
If wf. apply those fncts to a few, only
of tho crops of Pennsylvania wo find
that the estimated value of tho Wheat,.
Outs, Barley, Kay, Corn, Potatoes and
Tobacco produced in tho Stute during
18!iH was 9"0,7 l!.08O, while If lossos by
Insect had been prevented. It would
havo been nearly $W),00(t.OOO, showing
that on those crops nlono tho loss to the
Stnto ench year Is nearly MO.OOO.OOO.
This is a large sum and it would seem
impossible, If It were not that It always
occurred, and a year without It hus
never been known.
It is only when the loss is greater
than usual, that the damngo Is felt, and
remedies are sought. Yet moro than
half of this destruction could be pre
vented if a knowledge of how to protect
crops from their foes wore general.
It is to this line of work that tho
Zoologist intends to direct bis efforts,
offering to all who aro Interested, In
formation how best to provent these
losses, or to check ,tho foe when It has
already appeurcd.
In order to do this, and accomplish
the most, far reaching results ho desires
anyone who finds his crops of any kind
affected by any insect or other nnfmal,
to write hltn, sending samples of tho
injuries, und if possiblo, of tho animal
which causes the troublo. All such
letters will bo promptly answered with
suggestions of tho best, ways to prevont
further damage, and If tho troublo bo
serious a personal examination will lie
made. All such letters should bo tent
to the State Zoologist, Department 6f
Agriculture, at. Ilarrisburg.
Iliillutius dt-fcribing injurious Insects
and other nniuinls. the work they do,
and how" to treat them will also ho pub
lished, both in tho newspapers and as
phaniphlets for distribution. It is
hoped in tills way to induce tho people
of tho State to use tho opportunities
which havo been prepared for them by
tho Legislature in this line, and in the
end, save many millions of dollars each
year.
A Common Danger.

should also be beautiful as It usually oc

our large stock of Furniture, our line
of sideboards are distinctly graceful in
design and well finished. They are not
product of basty thought and unskilled
hands. Every piece is well made and
well joined. They are built to last.
But the most surprising thing about
thom Is the price. We offer a Side
board of wonderful value at a price that
cannot bo beaten. '
