801 l Weevil vs Birds. Experts tell us thut in a very short time the boll weevil will be with U 9 and while we have only be come acquainted with this pe3t in the last few years, yet we are told by scientists that the weevil has been in existence f»r a consider able time. The ravages of this insect in the cotton fields of the South is be coming greater each year and un less something is done to stop it's depredations it will seriously cur tail the production of cotton in this country. It is asserted by a good authority that the cause of the increase of this insect is that the destruction of the birds has left no enemy to prev upon it therefore it can multiply without hindrance. The birds are becomming more scarce each year and with their disappearance insects are bound to increase. All birds are natural enemies to insects and if they are killed out entirely the farming in terest will be at their mercy. Certain kinds of birds are kill- ed ruthlessly as being enemies to farmers as they destroy some of the grains that are planted, but even this kind does more good than harm, white njany birds are killed from wantonness. Doubtless it would be of vast benefit to the farmers of the count ry at large if no birds were killed of any kind for the next tell years, not only would it be a pleasure to be able to see them but tho num ber of insectß destroyed by them would more than pay for the dam age done by them. Societies are being organized to protect certain species and these are doing a great deal of good. If every community would have such an organization incredible work could be done.—Ex. Uyops, R.

Teacher. Peace may be hovering over Mexico, but it shows no strong in clination to light. Just as “Seeing is BelLving ” Just a> out a week ago some thing happened in the far interior of the c >iu.tv that we waned to know about, ana wanted to know about quick at that. And just then is when we appreciated sub stuntia'ly of how much value id the farmers’ line telephone . Not only were we able to get just the right party wanted, but we were abte to get several parties, and we obtained all the information desir ed. So we have reached the con clusion that if the farmers’ line telephone is of benefit to us, bow much more it must benefit the furmers, who want to get, not us, but the business establishments in the city, or a physician, perhaps, five or ten miles away. In return this benefits that business house and thut doctor. That is the cold business proposition, and not the social side of it, and yet there must be lots of comfort in Know ing i hat you can call up a neigh bor at any time, and there must be lotßi>f pleasure for wives to be so neighborly as to call up each other. We were not skeptical before of the merits of the farmers, line tel ephone, and we knew' that its ben efits were not theoretical, but practical, and we were not doubt ful of hear say evidence, but “as seeing is believing,” why so is actually being benefited better than hearing your friend talk abc ut what, has helped them. The sectinh around Lyons has made steady and rapid ad vances within the past 7 or 8 months in connecting-up farmer's lines, ai d the work haß only just begun, so to speak. Folks in the country are beginning to arouse themselves to the advantages of haying telephone lines, and the city people are finding it to then . advantage to co-operate in every S'3V possible.
