STUDY OP ENTOMOLOGY. 
It is stated that there are over 200,000 
species of insects in this country. When we 
come to consider the vast amount of destruc¬ 
tion accomplished by only a few of the very 
smallest of insects, as the Hessian fly, the 
Chinch bug, the Curculio and one or two of 
the flea beotles, or the benefit derived from a 
few others still more miuute, as the parasitic 
chalcids and ichneumons, who will say that 
time spent in the acquirement of entomologi¬ 
cal knowledge is time spent in vain i Farmers 
are beginning to realize the importance of the 
‘‘science” and to appreciate the fact that 
something more is needed than a mere knowl¬ 
edge of a few insect remedies. There is much 
to know concerning the habits of insects that 
renders intelligent application of common 
remedies much more available and oftentimes 
1 1 a saving of expense. Many of our farm¬ 
ers pay too little attention to *' first broods’’ 
as they are called; they are ‘‘not much 
trouble” because they only see the advnuce- 
guard, and prefer to take the risk, or if they 
do apply a remedy, it is oftentimes applied 
after the eggs have been deposited and the in¬ 
sects are ready to die uatural deaths. The in¬ 
sects shortly disappear, and the good farmer 
is of the opinion that he has ‘‘fixed them sure’, 
and he thinks no more about it until the sec. 
ond brood, bas hatched and the larvae have at¬ 
tained considerable size. 
Now a little knowledge as to the habits of 
the insect, time of depositing eggs, locality of 
deposit, duration of time before hatching, etc. 
would have been of great service in fighting 
the pest.. With a general knowledge of ento¬ 
mology the fanner becomes an intelligent ob¬ 
server, and not only helps himself and his 
neighbor, but the cause of science as well In 
talcing up the study, my advice would be 
to get a good text book and become acquainted 
with the outlines of classification—skip the 
hard words and the talk about anatomy and 
technicalities of class idea tit m if you thi nk them 
dty—learn the groups of insects and their 
affluities, ascertaining the general struetur e 
(form) and habits of the orders and families f 
for by this means one can often tell where to 
place a new insect, or one he has never seen 
before, and perhaps through this knowledge, 
find a suitable remedy. Knowledge is power, 
and it is by making the most of all kinds of 
knowledge—scientific as well as practical— 
that the American farmer will succeed.
