A Suggestion to the Farmers.
It is well known by most of us that
many of the farmers of this section lost
considerably by the ravages of the grass
hoppers. last year; thougn they came in
too late to injure anything materially,
save clover, grasses and fodder. How
ever few they were last season, we may
look for millions this year, in their
stead—if we are to judge of their
propogation by the experiance of the
Western farmers. The experiance of
the Western farmers has been that the
Srst year the grasshoppers make their
appearance, they are comparatively
few to the multitudes that infest the
country the second year. The third j
year, there are less than the second
and they gradually leave the country
until they haye all disappeared.
Xow, would it not be well for us to
take some steps to diminish their num
ber if possible? If we will examine,
we will find that there are thousand
of grasshopper eggs deposited on the
weeds and grass, in our stubble fields;
then, by burning them off may we
not destroy many of them ?
By further examination, we will find
there is a greater number of eggs de
posited on the leaves of the trees
the woods. This being the case, is it
not true that millions of them will be
destroyed by burning all the wood-lands
off in this section ? Besides, there are
other reasons why wood-lands should
tie burned off every spring.
Pirst.by burning off the woods we
destroy all the dense under-growth,
which prevents a free circulation of
pure air in mahy placeB, thereby rend
ering it sickly. In addition to puri
fying the air and making it more whole
some for man, it gives the young and
more valuable timber a better oppor
tunity for growing.
Forty years ago, when the Indians
lived in this country, there were very
little chills and fever among them, and
it is known where ever they live they
always keep the woods burnt off.
Another reason is, we in this coun
try depend geatly upon our wood-laud
range as pasturage for our stock, and
it is well known, when woods and old
fields are burnt off, they furnish much
earlier and better grass for pasturage
Then, too, a country looks better
when it has that open appearance.
Now let us reflect upon this and act
accordingly, before it is too late. Every
farmer should know that it is his duty
to his neighbor, as well as to himself,
to burn off his woods, The best time to
do this is when the sap begins to riFe
sufficient to kill under-growth.

A Striking Force of Nore Than
1,000 Tons.
The London Telegraph says: “ The
preparations for the manufacture to the
next great gun. supposing its weight to
be not more than 200 tons, will not ne
cessitate the extensive outlay in new
machinery and plan which attended the
production of the SO-ton gun, the vari
ous appliances then provided having
bepn contrived with a view to further
requirement. Various alterations will,
however, be requisite at every process
The coiling furnaces will have to be
elongated to heat the larger bars, and
the coiling power augmented; but the
principal alterations necessary will be
that of the great Nasymith steam ham
mer by which the coils are welded into
the solid mass. The falling mass of the
hammer weighs 40 tons, but it has, by
the aid of ‘‘top steam,” a striking force
of more than one thousand tons, sufff
cient, it is thought, for the largest coils
of the proposed great gun; but space
enough has been allowed between th
anvil and the hammer-head, and the
upper part of the structure will proba
bly have to be raised through the roo '
of the forge. As yet nothing is decid
ed as to the weight or dimensions of the
next Woolwich prodigy.
The California fruit crop the past
yeary has been unusually large. Fruit
driers, canning factories and Eastern
shipments have kept pace, however,
with the increased productions, and
the crop of 1876, valued at from $5,000,
000, has been disposed of at fair pri
ces.
Thirty thousand dollars have been
pledged to Moody and Sankey for their
forthcoming revival in Boston, and $10,-
000 more is wanted to make it a sure
thing.
Washington, January 30. Mr. Ste

from Mr. B. P. Chatfield, I enter upon its
management by i educing rates and asking of
the traveling public, especially my friends of
Carolina and Georgia, a continuance of tbeir
support.
The high prices that have prevailed for the
past few years, and which were necessary to the
maintenance of the Plaktkrs' as a thoroughly
first class Hotel, have diverted from this “old
and favorite house” a great many of its former
patrons, but feeling that the time has come when
the price of all commodities are such as to justi
fy a reduction of rates without impairing Its
well-known reputation, I gladly avail myself of
it and place the price ot board within the means
of all.
S^l citing a renewal of the patronage of its
former friends who have withdrawn from it,and
assuring all who may favor mo with their sup
port that the high excellence for which the
'lasters' was noted during the proprietorship
