v C,- ..«anfim ’ i . . “‘0..- Losses Occasioned by Insects. A recent number of the Insert Lil‘cl says : ' No very recent estimates of the lossg arising from insect ravages have been ; :mdn but some of the older estimates, 2m- here given. Twenty five years ago - 1%. D. Walsh, the entomologist of Illin- ois, csrimated the less front this source at from $200,000.000 to 8300.000,000 per nnnutn. The great increase in acre age of crops and orchards since that date has been attended, of course, with a cor. responding: increase in destruCtiveneSs; but methods of prevention and remedies have so multiplied and improved that the ratio of loss has greatly decreased. Fitch. then er York State entomolo- gist. c~timated the damage to the wheat crop oftlrtt State in the year lel by the wheat midgc at $15,000,000. The l ’55 to wheat. and corn on account of the. romeo: ofthc ohinch but: in the State of filinois alone in l867 was estimated at 5730001100. The loss occasioned in 1874 to corn, vegetables, and other crops by the rocky Mountain locust in tln- States of Kansas. Nebraska, Iowa. and Missouri was estimated by Riley, from carefully collected data, at 5100,- 000,000, to say nothing of the indirect loss by stoppage of business and other enterprises, which would probably in- crease the total loss to the neighborhood of about $200,000,000. Tito ravages in- the principal cotton States of the cot- lO‘) worm have amounted to a loss of about $30,000,000 in years of great abundance, while for many years the average annual loss was not less than l7) millions. A more recent ostitnate than those given may be mentioned. The dam:th occasioned by the chincli llllg in the year 1887 was estimated in “no annual report of the Agricultural l‘tnpartment for that year at not less rlau $60,000,000. Dr. Riley has in tact repeatedly published the general l-stlnlfllc that the average annual loss to the United States from injurious insects t-xweds $300,000,000. ’l‘he Investigations of the United Suites Entomological Commission and of the Division of Entomology, Depart- ment of Agriculture, and also of State l’L-xperimcnt station entomologists and p. irate “'Ol'liCl'S, have led to the discov- , cry of remedies and preventives which, properly and thoroughly applied, result- in saving a large percentage of the loss occasioned by insects, and the statement that these investigations have paid for themselves many thousandfold is in- tlubftably true. ” We may add that if the general gov- t-l'nmeut and the State governments were to spend fifty times more money than is u nw granted for investigations respecting the habits of insects and the modes of destroying those that are noxious, it would; doubtless, be of great advantage to the country. ____.__... .p. o-â€"â€"â€"â€".â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"- The disruption in the Hamilton stove combine will reduce the price of stoves lrom 5 to 10 percent. next season.

Forty Indians and one white woman were killed by a landslide ou the banks of. the Skeua River in British Columbia the other day. At the Erinsvillc cattle fair last week over $5,000 worth of cattle were bought for the English market at from $60 to élS per head. A Cincinnati lady .1115 a rat's nest valued at 8525. The nest was compos- , ed'ol‘ bank bills to that amount. which the rodents had torn into small frag- ments.

Bonner, a Scotch dog belong- ing: to. Henry Bonner, of Macon, has T't-w‘n all along noted for his prowess at rat killing, but. he surpassed all former records Saturday. He killed just twenty- ~u.;e. rats within fifteen minutes, and llEtt-llfi‘d‘ away as soon as he had disposed I of the last one. The rats were monster ones, some being almost as hinge as an ordinary squirrel. The well-known freaks of English justice are illustrated by the case of a ‘ lull". at Arundel. charged with havin,r injured some tur-nip tops. The fore- ‘zaau of the presecutor testified that ~some turnip tops found in the ,ot' the prisoner titted the turnips in his master's field, and on this evidence the teensed was sentenced to pay a fine of $7.50 or go to prison for H days.

The London Mutual pays not more than $5, no matter how valuable the animal may be. 4. in the Royal Canadian animals are insured against lightning while at pasture anywhere. in the. Bondandlutnal they are insured while posturing on the premises of? the insured only. 5. When articles are insured specifically, such as musical instruments, the Royal Canadian is obliged to pay the full amount insured up to the cash value of the article. The London Mutual pays only two-third of the cash value, no matter what the in- surance may be. 6. When “ ordinary contents ” of out buildings are insured by the Royal Canadian ALI. implements are included. In the Lou- dou Mutual only one reaper and one mower The Royal Canadian offers the following are included, no matter how. good others may be. 7. When the outbuildings are not-joined to each other the Royal Canadian insures under one sum the “ ordinary contents ” of all building not cut ofl‘bya distance great- er than 40 ft., the same. as if the contents were all under one roof. The London Mu- tual requires a Separate sum on the con- tents of each building,if the distance is- more than 12 it. This is a very important difference in many cases. 8. In the Royal Canadian it is a part of the contract that standard STEAM runnsuntts may be ttsed without a. special permit and without any restriction as to the distance from stacks or buildings, caretakers, polls of water, kind of fuel or direction of the wind. Many of the policy holders in the London Mutual were obliged to run their own risk while threshing last. season,be- cause it was found to be impossible to com- ply with the conditions of their permit.. When a farmer pays for insurance lie sllottld secure a policy which will hold him safe when it is most required. 9. The Royal Canadian is obliged to pay its losses within simty days and usually takes much less. The London Mutual need not pay for. ninety days, and since it has beCORIE‘SO'lltll‘d= up as to be obliged to bor- row money largely, it usually takes about the full time allowed. 10. The Royal Canadian policy is subject to the statutory conditions only. It has none of the numerous variations against the policy-holder printed in red ink on the back of‘ the London Mutual policy.

To make tip this amount in cashxn-seoond call would have to be made on the premium notes for a large‘nmount. leavinga surplus of only $74,2l8, even if there were no bad debts, and this surplus is made up wholly ofl'the unpaid balance of premium notes already heavily assessed. The company reports the losses adjusted but unpaid at the close of the year at $6,- 387, but the Inspector of Insurance finds I that. the liability for unpaid losses at the [pearl of the year was $20,286. The cash on I hand to pay these losses only amounted to $13,911. in view of‘ the foregoing facts farmers will have no difficulty in deciding as to the company in which they should be insured. 1 For insurance apply to l S.
