esy, published all articles written for the instruction of the 
farmer in regions infested by injurious insects. The Chicago, 
St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha, the St. Paul & Duluth, the 
Northern Pacific, the Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste 
Marie, the Minneapolis & St. Louis and the Great Northern 
Railroad Companies also deserve thanks for their liberality 
in furnishing free transportation over their roads whenever 
such was asked. 
The descriptions of many of the insects given are taken 
from a number of sources, but mainly from the excellent 
works of Uhler, Comstock, Smith, Forbes, and others, and 
from the publications of the Division of Entomology, De- 
partment of Agriculture. Many of the illustrations were 
kindly loaned by Dr. L. O. Howard, of the above division of 
entomology, and by other gentlemen whose names appear 
below them. Miss Lillie L. Howenstein, under the guidance 
of Mr. Chittenden, made most of the original illustrations, 
and deserves much credit for her artistic work. The Art 
Engraving Co., of St. Paul, prepared many of the illustra- 
tions for the printer, and deserves credit for the good work.
