fUT?lK UiT-II Tl IK Bili;*-. Twelve Inserts Cost Tili? Country $350,000,000 Annually. Twelve insects wil! cost thc United : States $350,000,000 thia year. The cineU bug will draw $100,000,000 of this large amount, the grasshopper will toke ?00,000,000 and the Hessian fly will call for at least $50,000,000 more. Three worms that attack thc cotton plant will assess tho farmers for a total of $05,000,000, and the potato bug will cat $8,000,000 worth of its favorite kind of garden produce. Ten millions of dollars is a moderate esti mate of thc injury thc will he done by the apple worm, and the caterpillar that makes cabbages its specialty will destroy $5,000,000 worth of crisp green heads. The estimate, which is conservative and u.ider the mark, is as follows : Cinch bug.$100,000,000 Grasshopper. 00.000.000 Hessian Hy. 50,000,000 Potato bug. 8,000,000 San Jose scale. 10,000,000 Grain weevil. 10,000,000 Apple worm. 10,000,000 Army worm. 15,000,000 Cabbage worm. 5,000,000 Holl wcevillo (cotton).... 20,000,000 Boll worm (cotton). 25,000,000 Cotton worm. 15,000,000 Total.$:iS5,000,000 How absurb it seems that this gov ernment, with an army of 05,000 meu, 254 warships and more money in its treasury than any nation has ever be fore possessed, should bc helpless in a fight against twelve objectionable bugs ! Yet such is tho fact. The individ ual bug is small, but its "stronghold" is its tremendous power of reproduc tion. What is to be done in conflict with an adversary which is capable of having a billion descendants in a sum mer ? In conflict with such an enemy Uncle Sam finds himself in much the same situation as that of Gulliver when he discovered that ho was at tho mercy of tho Lilliputians. Thc Cinch bug is a disgusting little beast, only a third of an inch long. Originally it fed upon wild grass, but when civilized man arrived and plant ed wheat the cereal suited its taste ex actly and it soon became what it is to day, the worst foe of the moat prized of bread-producing crops. Itgets into tho funnel-shaped part of the leaf, where it joins the"s Ik, and sucks tho sap until the plant dies. The bugs, multiplying at a rate almost inconceiv able, attack a wheat field in armies whioh literally carpet tho ground, and when the wheat has been harvested thoy fly to the autumnal oom. Everybody knows tho grasshopper, which in the East is a familiar, but harmless insect. In parts of the West, however, it is a serious menace to ag riculture, ?nd in a "bad year" will eas ily do more than $100,000,000 worth of damage. V, is the true locust, cele brated in Biblical and other history, and in the United States ranks aB the worst enemy of man, barring only the oinoh bug. lt is a foe most dreaded by the farmers over extensive areas. Droughts they may combat by irriga tion ; from tornadoes they may take refuge in suitably constructed cellars, kat before the march of tho devasta ting swarms of grasshop^.s they are helpless.

CI'OJM MI'C ' rt ? ,.l fruui iii?: lace of tlie earth, a'i vegeta- j tion disappears a?id rtarvation stares < them io ibo faoe. lu the-year 1770, when the Heesian troops, engaged by the British us auxiliaries, lauded ou Long Island, they brought a lot ol' straw with them for their horses, and in it almost un doubtedly were eggs of tho insect which lias since become known in this country as the Hessian fly. Three years later tbe pest began to make it self troublesome in thc neighborhood of the landing place, and since then it has gradually spread westward. Barring thc cinch bug, it is tho worst enemy of thc wheat, making its first appearance as a tiny maggot at the base of the young plant and sucking thc juices of the latter. Eventually the plant is weakened and destroyed, and thc maggot is transformed into a fra gile, dark-colored gnat, closely resem bling a small mosquito-the destined parent of maggots yet to bo. Tho army worm, which is one of the most dreaded of thc insect foes of thc farmer, is a naked-striped caterpillar, an inch and a quarter long. In May and June it makes its appearance in immense numbers, devouring wheat, oats and other grains and grasses. It climbs up thc seed stalk and cuts oil the heads. With a favorable succes sion of seasons it multiplies in geo metrical ratio, and at last becomes so numerous as to necessitate migration in search of food. Then the army worms travel and feed during both day and night, inflicting enormous damage. It is from their mode of marching in armies at such times that their popu lar name is derived. The parent of thc worm is a brown moth. Tho potato bug seems to have been originally native to Colorado and Now Mexico- Various wild plants furnish ed it with food, but nothing seems to have been so exaotly suited to its re quirements as tho potato. With the introduction of tho potato by settlers came thc opportunity of this objec tionable insect to multiply ad infini tum. It began to march eastward and northward ; at first slowly, depending upon its own power of flight, but later in great big jumps, assisted by thc railroads, on which it took passage. It made trips of hundreds of miles by river, floating on chips or voyaging by boat. Its spread was startling, and at the present time its territory compri ses nearly all of the United States. AU efforts to diminish its numbers have been in vain, and $8,000,000 is a moderate estimate of tho damage it does annually. In 18G8 a Froriob naturalist named Trouvalot, residing at Madford, near Boston, was making experiments with various kinds of silk-spinning insects other than the common silk worm. He had imported the eggs from France, and with them, by some accident, had come a few eggs of the Gypsy moth, already well-known as a destructive in sect in Europe. These eggs were in a pasteboard box on a window ledge and were blown away. As a result the State of Massachusetts has been ob liged to spend more than half a mill ion dollars since thea in trying to ex terminate the bug, whioh has threat ened to eat every green thing off the earth in tho region over whioh it has spread, comprising some fifty square miles. It is a ravenous dofoliator of fruit and shade trees, and if it should extend its operations over a large part of the country it might easily do mil lions of dollars worth of injury year ly. The brute is a dark gray caterpil lar, two and a half inches long, and its parent is a moth of yellowish hue with blaok bands on its wings. The San I Jose socle gets its name from the faot that it first appeared in the San Jose valley, California, hav ing been imported probably from Aus tralia or Hawaii. It is the worst of all enemies of fruit trees. Almost mioroscopio in size, it will spread through an orohard in half dozen years and in place of?green leaves and blos soms, leaves nothing but dead trunk? and bran ches. A fruit-raising district attacked by it is destroyed as effectu ally as if overrun by afire. These in sects, millions of them together, suok tho sap of tho tree, each one of them covered with a waxy scale, whioh forms a sort of grayish sourf on thc bark, Inasmuch as a single female may have as many as 3,216,000 descendants in o single season, it is easily understood why the pest spreads so dangerously fast. Recently tho department of ag riouiture has imported from China t bug that preys upon it, and which ii now being propagated in outdoor cage: for distribution among fruit growers The grain weevil, whioh destroy: millions of dollars' worth of stored oe reals in granaries and elevators everj year, is a little brown beetle a quarte of an iuoh long. The question of hov to fight it is one of growing eoonomii importance. It was imported original ly from the Mediterranean, and ha bi*; "domesticated" so long that i has lost the uso of its wings. Indeed its ravages made it famous long befor the Christian era, and it is m cn tic: e in the "Georgies" of Virgil. The fe male beetle punctures the grain kerne with her snout and inserts an egg from which is hatched a Iittlo wort that lives in the hull and feeds upo tho starchy interior.

Up to date the government, with all its powers, bas been almost defenceless against these dozen tiny, but unrelenting foes.-Washington Letter._ Tobacco Acreage will he Extended. "The increase in the receipts of the privilege tax on fertilizers is due to the marked increase in thc acreage planted in tobacco," said Judge J. F. Lyon yesterday. As the keeper of these records in the State Treasurer's office Judge Lyon has been making somo investigations, and he reports that to be the result. Thc planting of tobacco requires a high state ef cultivation. "The receipts to date on tho sales of fertilizers aro $84,918.30-more than for thc whole of last year when the tag tax amounted to $81,744.94. The receipts up to March 19 last year were ?01,003.05, or twenty thousand dollars short of the year's receipts. I think wo may say that there is yet a lot of privilege tax to be paid in, judging by the way rcoeipts came in last year. If such be the case, thc tax this year will run close to ?100, 000. The receipts in former yean have come in until late in April. Thc bulk of the year's business is over bj the first of May." To each sack of fertilizer sold with' in the State must bo a tag indicating that tho State has been pa\d a tax ol 25 cents on every ton of that f?rtil izer. Tho tag tax or privilege tai never has exceeded the receipts of last year. A farmer from tho low country wh< was here yesterday said that tho cul tivation of tobacco is being tried as ai experiment in some of the counties ii the State which have ranked foremos in the production of other farm crops but have never taken to the new crop Marlboro and Orangeburg, the tw best known agricultural counties, wi! experiment extensively. Adjoining counties have found tobacoo very prof itable, but these counties preferred t raise ootton. Orangeburg is known to be the coun ty with the largest number of indc pendent farmers of ali the counties i the United States, and Marlboro' planters have wrought from the soi of that county orops whioh have gon down in the government records a phenomenal. In Bushland, Colleton and othc oounties the experiment is being mad< and it may be that a new era is ahea for these counties. The attraction i raising tobaoco seems to be that it i a "money crop." LaBt fall the co umns of The State reoorded man items of gratifying information froi the tobacco-raising counties. Whii it was yet summer the tobacco growei were disposing of their tobacco au securing ouch prioes that the ore more than paid for itself. Those wi were so fortunate ai to have a goc cotton crop with whioh to follow tl tobaoco were enabled to meet all obi g?tions without being under ouch strain as they would have suffered hi it not been for the possession of tl tobaoco crop money in the early fal Tobacoo seems to be a fixture : those counties ?here the experimen were made first, and prosperity seer to have attended the progressive spii of the farmers who believe in divert fled farming.

"lu tc?iic?rlj 'l.i\ s ' f (Ko Pennsv? v . H ? a "ii . i-*^?. . i*?<,* * ?aid Dr, Wi H. Goold, of llcuo, "tho woods wore full of wild animals, and as a consequence of their boldness and the peculiar and now factors the oil business had intro duced into the region, odd happen ings in which those animals and wclldriller8, teamsters and others em ployed in oil production were concern ed, were frequent. % "I was one of the first seekers after riches that went up along Cherry Tree Ruo, in Venango county, to put down oil wells. Trout fishing was excellent in those mountains streams then. I was an enthusiastic trout fisherman, and one day in June, early in the days of the rush to Oil Creek valley, I went very near to the headwaters of one of the small brooks that emptied into Cherry Tree Run to enjoy a day's fish ing. " It was nearly dark when I got down to the mouth of the brook, load ed down with trout, and about tired out. I had three miles to travel yet to get to my shanty and I resolved to camp for the night on the banks of the run. I ate a hearty supper of trout, built a rousing camp fire and lay down by the side of it and went to sleep. "Some time in the night I woke suddenly and wide. The camp fire was still burning brightly, and threw a broad pathway of light out upon and across the run. As I lay there won dering what had awakened me I saw a big dark object moving forward in the stream plainly visible in the streak of light and swimming, directly toward where t lay. "It was a spooky sort of sensation and I lay still, scarcely daring to move with my eyes fixed on the approaching object, which swam deliberately across the creek. As it crawled out of the waiter and up on the shore I saw what it was. It was a big black boar. "The tyear paused a moment after landing, and then slouched right on toward tko camp fire, prompted by genuine bear curiosity. The fire was not more than 25 feet from tho creek. "The discovery of the identity of the mysterious objeot and the rapid advance of the bear toward me broke the spell under which I had lain. I sprang to my feet, grabbed a blazing stick from the fire, and hurled it at the approaching animal, which was then almost within an arm's length of me. The brand struck the bear. Then like a flash of gunpowder the poor beast burst into flames from snout to tail. "With a howl that filled the woods with frightful echo CB and me with ter ror, the blazing bear turned and fled to the creek, and plunged into the wa ter. If he had expeoted to find grate ful help there he was wofully mista ken, for in an instant the oreek from bank to bank, and far above and be low where I stood, a horrified and dumfounded speetator of the weird scene, beoame a line of leaping fire, lighting up the gloom of the forest for rods on either side. '/There came from that roaring flood of flame one long, unearthly wail o' agony. . For a second I saw the bias ing form of the wretched bear writhe in torture in the burning ?reek. Then I saw and heard him no more. "I never stopped tunning until I arrived at my shanty, my way being lighted by the blaze on the oreek. At the shanty I learned that an oil tank had sprung a bad leak that evening and before it could be stopped severa! hundred barrels of oil had run into the oreek and floated down on the sur face.
