300 GRASSHOPPERS. 



mulberry are so rapid a growth, if they are cultivated 

 with care, that though a fence were built of basswood, 

 I think by the time a new one would be necessary, the 

 timber would be grown to sufficient size to make posts 

 to board to, on a good soil. I measure my ground, 

 and set my locust trees fourteen feet apart, in order to 

 have them for posts as they grow. If my brother 

 farmers will follow the preceding method, instead of 

 any other method, or kind of trees I have seen de- 

 scribed, I think that as much good would result from 

 the operation as from hedges twice told, or any other 

 operation of a like amount of cost and labor.

GRASSHOPPERS. 



Grasshoppers multiply much faster in dry weather 

 than in wet. Hens and turkeys are excellent company 

 for them when they can keep up. If they fall in the 

 rear, they should be driven out and made acquainted 

 with the shy little hoppers.
