aa—DCBP ■nOT^t^^gwa; 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.

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 phens, became worse during the even ing, and at midnight is quite low. His situation is more, critical than it has ever been, but death is not apprehend ed immediately. COMMON SCHOOLS 1876.
