The annual loss to farmers in this country from fungus diseases and insects has been closely estiranted at $5,000,000. So 

 important have these thinf^s become that the U. S. Department of Agriculture at Washington hm two of its most important 

 divisions investigating tlieiu. One called Vegetable Pathology, under Prof Galloway; this pei^tains to Plant Diseases, 

 such as blight, rots, mildew, etc. The other is called Entomology, under Prof. Kiley, which pertains to Insects— both 

 divisions carrying on investigations as to tlie causes and effects, and making experiments and recommendations for the 

 benefit of fanners, gardeners, liorticulturislsand florists.
