That the injurious insects are •n the increase and are becoming more destructive to the crops of the garden, orchard and field than they used to bo are facts testified to by farmers from all parts of our country. Hardly a year passes without hearing complaints of the ravages of the cut worms and caterpillars, and the loss to the far mers from this source is simply enormous. Once in five or six years the farmers use to have their corn cut down by cut worms, but in no ease was this done where the land hail been broken Into in the fall or during winter. Now, such treatment of the soil is not always a protection from the worms. There seems to bo new species of worms, or old kinds have varied to such chang ed conditions. The worms arc now a pest looked for every year, and the farmer in many localities who gets a good stand of corn the first planting is lucky. It was once no trouble to raise fruit of all kinds free from knots and other defects, but it seems this is no longer the case. In sects are in the orchard, and un less they are destroyed fruit is not a profitable crop. The tent caterpillar, so troublesome of late years, was never k own to do serious harm to orchards thirty or forty years ago. Now com plaints of this pest come in from all sections as regularly as the seasons roll around, and orchards have to be gone over every spring and the caterpillar destroyed. The curculio is the greatest pest of the plum and peach or chards and these excellent and popular fruits are no longer easi ly raised and profitable as they once were. The apples also are greatly injured by the curculio. Sometimes out of hundreds of barrels of apples only a few per fect specimens can be found, that is, apples free from knots and specks, the result of the bite ‘of the curculio. To briefly describe all the worst insects and the mischief they do would take up several columns, and, to be brief, wo fin ish this part of our subject by ob serving that we almost yearly hear of some new insect feeding on and damaging some cultivated plant—insects that only a few years ago were unknown to the farmer. There is a cause why insects do more mischief now than a year past, and the farmers should lose no time in hunting it up and re moving it if possible. There is nothing now or unusual about in sects multiplying so rapidly, for they always did that when in crease was not checked in some way, but what chocks existod in the early settlement of the coun try are out of the way now? There can bo but one answer to this question. When we had for ests every where and plenty of birds there was a limit to increase of insects, and now that tho birds are gone insects have no enemies and can increase up to tho • food supply. All small birds are in sect eaters, and at certain seasons of tlio year they feed on nothing else. But they have been killed or driven off, and tlieir homes, the forests, have been cut down. Such has been the war against tho birds that in largo sections of tho country some of tho once most common species ate now rarely Been. Less than forty years ago, in Jefferson county, Ken tucky, every Hold had its ono or moro flocks of partridges, but tho Bob White is heard no moro. Wo could name many other spe cies of birds that wore once com mon but are now seldom seen. Tho eggs from which the cut worms are hatchod are laid by a small miller, or butterfly, which some birds, especially partridges, are very fond of, and food to their young. It is easily seou how several flocks of partridges are checks to tho increase of cut worms. Tho number of cut worms are out of all proportion to tho number of millers that lay tho eggs. Tho destruction of a few hundred or thousand, at most, of millers at the right time is equal to destroying cut worms enough to eat up*largo Holds of corn. In a large field whore tliero are sev eral old partridges and their young not many millers succeed in lay ing eggs. Tho insects of the orchard were so reduced in numbers, in the ear ly settlement of the country, by birds, that they did little, or, at least, no serious harm; but now that tho birds are greatly reduced in numbers fruit growing is no longer tho pleasant and profitable business it was. To tho question, what must bo done to lessen the number of in f sects, wo say protect tho birds Make laws forbidding the killing of them at any time, and soo that all such laws aro enforced. In no other country is tho samo free dom allowed with tho birds as here. Wo suffer the birds to bo slaughtered at all seasons of tho as if it were a matter of no consequence whether wo have any birds or not. It seems the far mers have suffered enough already in consequenco of tho war against the birds, and would need no ar guments to show them tho neces sity of protecting tho birds. One thing is quite certain, if tho de struction of tho birds is not stop ped, and that soon, crops all over the country will be annually dam aged much greater than now. Wo appeal to every farmer who is interested in soeing insect dep redations lessoned to protect the birds. Give no one tho privilege of shooting on your farm. Teach your children that they aro tho farmers’ friends, and are not to be hurt or fn any way disturbed. Encourage them to build tlieir nests and rear their young on your farm, in your yards and gar dens, and in a few years you would be astonished at the Result. Tho once familiar sound of Bob Whito would again bo hoard coming from every field, and all kinds of birds would multiply in your field and woods and around your dwel lings, and many kinds of insocts now so injurious to crops would disappear as pests.—Homo and F arm. Mr. .1. K. <triiistwml, Seuora, Ky., says: “Sly children have sometimes had boils and other signs of blood impurities, with loss of appetite, etc., at which time I have found Swift’s Specific a most successful remedy, in no instance failing to effect a speedy and permanent cure. “Swift’s Specific is a (treat blessing to humanity,” says Mr. P. K. Gordon of 725 Broad street, Nashville, Tenn., for it cured me of Rheumatism of a very bad type, witii which I had been troubled for throe or four years. S, 8. H. cured me after I had exhausted • verything else." Mr. Russell Myriek, of the firm of Myiick & Henderson, Fort Smith, Ark.., says lie wishes to add his testi mony to tho thousands which have already been given to Swift’s Specific. He says lie derived the most signal benefit from its use to cure painful boils and sores resulting from impure blood. When taken for a few days, potash mixtures impair the digestion, take away the appetite, and dry up the gastric juices which should assist in digesting and assimilating the food. Swift’s Specific has just the opposite effect; it improves digestion, brings appetite, and builds up the general health. ^ The Baltimore Sun says: A bill lias been introduced in the Georgia Leg- Tht CitlM, th« Country, tho Farmer. A very interesting discussion is going on as to the relativo growth of city and country in Georgia. | The Constitution assorted that the cities were growing rich fas ter than the country. Wo show- oil that tho towns and cities of j Georgia were now $50,000,000 richer than they were in 1800, ] liilo the country is $50,000,000 poorer. Comptroller-General Wright insists that this is not true, and that tho country is growing as | fast as tho towns and cities. Tho j comptroller-general is wrong. Tho estimated increase of taxable ' values in Georgia for tho present j year is $25,000,000. Tho increase j in Fulton county alone is over i $0,000,000. Fulton county now ; pays about one-eleventh of the tax es of the state. Hor increase this year is about one-fourth of tho total increase of the state. If this does not show that our cities aro increasing faster in proportion than the villages and tho country, then wo do not know what figures mean. Wo might multiply examples to show this. Tho county of Sum ter, in which is Amorieus, tho largest city in that district, has increased $1,200,000 in the last two years. What county without a largo city can bIiow the same proportionate increase? But At lanta makes a conclusive exam ple. Without any boom or any special cause she increased $6,- 000,000 this year, or one-fourth of tho total increase of the state. It is lamentable, but it is true, that the towns and citios of over 8,000 people aro growing much more rapidly in wealtji and pop ulation than the country. This is simply another evidence of tho tendency to centralization of tho political, commercial and social forces of the republic that threat ens its equilibrium. Wo wish tho comptroller-gon- orl was right, but ho is wrong. In tho Thomasvillo Times, “S. G. M.,” whom we take to bo Mr. McLendon, has an exceedingly interesting article, the gist of which we copy. Ho argues that the farmers of Georgia are not growing poorer, as has been as serted, but are growing richer. His proof is not only conclusive as to Thomas county, but it is encouraging as to tho whole state. We have always held, as Mr. LcLendon does, that the farmers of Geor gia are growing richer year by year. The Constitution combat ted Mr. Stephens and General Toombs on that very point in a long debate. The point wo now make is the point admitted by Mr. McLendon, that tho wealth of the towns and cities is increasing at so much greater rate than tho wealth of tho country and villages that thereislessof co-relation and harmony between these two forces. That state is most pros perous in which town and conu- I try prosper alike, and in which I all progress is equal and all growth symmetrical. Wlmt Georgia needs is some force put at work that will uplift and strengthen hor villugos and her country sites and bring them up to the wonderful speed with which her towns anil cities aro forging ahead. IIo will deserve well of tho state who finds the force that ig needed and has the ability to apply it.—Atlanta Con stitution. scorn EMULSION OF PURE COD LIVER OIL AWP hypophosphites Almost aa Palatable as Milk. that It o» b« taken.
