THE GRASSHOPPERS | ‘ Assistant Entomologist Dodge on the Destructive Pests, THE LOCUST OF THE PAST. The History, the food and the Luemies of the Modern Insects, METHODS OF DESTROYING THEM. Professor Taylor on the Uses of the Grasshopper, WASHrnGToNn, June 22, 1875, To THe EprTox of rue HenaLp:— For many weeks this destructive pest has veen 4 topic of absorbing interest to the people of the whole country, and with ali that has been written on the subject or published in the columns of the newspapers, there is much that the intelligent reading public desire to know concerning the in- sect. The daily press has furnished us with graphic accounts of ita terrible ravages, and hes given us irom day to day reperts by wire from ta- vaded territory, but little has been said concern Ing the history of the insect, tnougn there are many persons having little or no idea of the kind ofenemy with which our Western farmers havo to contend beyond the mere fact that it is some kina of a grasshopper. LOCUSTS IN HusTORY. If we go back to nistory for the frat accounts of locust plagues we must go back to Biole times, and, indeed, it was probably an old story even then, for the accounts of the terribie ravages of these devourmg armies in the pages of Holy Writ are as true pictures of the scenes of the last low weeks iu our own country as they doubtless Were oj the terribie scourge 1n Egypt. Their dev- astations are recorded im the history of many na- tions, trom Bibie times down to the present, and the numberiess accounts of thetr direful presence in many parts of Asia, Africa and Southera Europe are only too well authentivated—in fact, the nistory of their ravages in the Uld World is full and com- plete. We have been speaking of these insecta merely as “locusts,” without going into detail. The locust of the Oid World, however, differs very much from those we are considering, though the general natural history is tae same. fhe locust of Scripture is probably the Acridium perigrinum, as this insect is now found in Asia and Africa, though in Burope the devasting or migratory species is Edipoda migratoria. ‘The earliest record of locust injuries in Amer- jos is given by Mr. Riley as about the year 1632, when they visited Guatemala. The Jesuit mission- arlea of Oalifornia have also left records of visi- tations im that State jor numbers of years be- tween 1722 and 1765; aad in the present century they are reported 1n the same State in 1827, 1828, 1834, 1838, 1840 and 1855, though in all probabiliry the insect in this instance 1s a different species from the one operating east of the Rocky Moun- tains, The history of the Red River settlements, according to Mr. J. W. Taylor, presents a similar Droportion of years of suffering and exemption, the locusts baving appeared in 1818 and 1819, then along interval to 1867 aud 1858, then to 1864 and 1865, 1867 to 1870, and 1871 to 1875—the last seven years having been peculiarly unfortunate. in Minnesota, since iis settlement, tne years 1856-57, ‘1865, 1873 and 1874-5, are marked as grasshopper yeers, It is probable that ali these early swarms ‘Were more or less destructive in Kansas and the Northwest country at the same time, They ap- peared im Texas in 1845 ana 1849, and Mr. ‘Taylor, Iman article on the subject in one of the Smitu- sonian reports, names the year 1855 as a general grasshopper year over the whole Western Cont- nent, including parts of Mexico ana Central America, The years 1866 and 1807 were marked locust years in Kansas, Nebraska aod aajacent serritory ; in 1867 they were also very destructive in Utab, Mr, Walsh, who studied up the grass- Bopper invasion of 1807, shows conclusively that alter the departure of the grasshoppers that had hatehed irom eggs deposited the previous year fresh host of invaders descended upon the fertile Plains Of the Mississippi from the Rocky Mountains, nd at precisely the same period vi the year as in the preceding one. The aates given are August 2 to September 20, while the swarms hatchea 10m eggs laid the year before matured and took ‘Wing at least forty-two days earlier. For 1869, 1870 and 1872 and 1873 they again ap- peared, though the next loeust your of impertance ‘Was last season, when, as your readers are weil aware, hundreds of homes were made desolate, farms were laid waste, and famine almost ensued nd had not the widespread calamity proved a aational one and the sympathies of tne people been enlis' untold suffering and death woa: have been the consequence. The damage inflictea upou Coloracd, Nebraska, Kansas ana portions of “Wyoming, Dakvta, Minnesota, lowa, Missouri and afew other States and Territories has been es- timated at nearly $50,000,000 jor that season, when there was a fresh invasion Irom the Rocky Moun- tains in addition to the hosts already present from the eggs lald in 1873, In 1875 they again appear, ever the same terri- tory, the eggs deporited ia thre hatching out vy yhe million, notwithstanding Which seemed to encroach far into spring, and Until the present time they have been ravaging the country pretty much im the same manner as last year, tuough it has been boped that early mi- Fration would yet give time sor replanting ana for bountiful crops, NATURAL BISTORY. The Western migratory locust, or “hateful grass: hopper,” a8 it is sometimes called, is an insect Measuring from an inci aud quarter to an ncn And ahalfin lengtn irom head to tp of wings, Which extend over or beyond the abdomen trom An eighth toa third of an inck. A description of the Insect is hardly necessary, as it very ciosely Tosembles the common itttle red-legwed grasshop- per so plentiiui in flelds and meadows in the sum- mer and fali and known in scientific pariance as Caloptenus semur-rubrum, the principal difference being the length of wings. In fact, the Wes Migratory species belongs to the is named Catoptenus spretus. As there are many Other grasshoppers found in the region inhabited by these insects it 1s not at all uncommon for “Eastern iriends” to reccive monstrous sampl f hoppers as the destructive species, and we even received by mail very large species be- longing to a group that never have wings, and therefore cannot be iigratory, as specimens of the kind of insects that are devouring the land, What they lack in size, however, they make cp in DUMbers, and persons that never have seen a “visitation” can form no idea of the extent of their swarms, 50d would Burdiy credit the state- meat that they had besu seen dri/ted against a brain shed three feet deep. Of their Rocky Mountala history nothing of im- portance is known. They do live in the myun- laing, however, and are found fur up tue peaks, Ven to the snow range, where they had been swught in attempting tu fly over. Ibave been in- formed thar these Insects mty ve frozen 3:19, so that they may be broxen like pipe stems, yet their fellows in the same sttiation can be thawed out xa in a short time wil'be as jively as ever. Tho Manner in whion they deposit thelr eggs ts ka followa:—The temale, with the ovipositor at the end of her abdumen, forms a tole ta the soul, gen- erally about wn inch deep, the horn-like tips enabling her to do this by a surt of drilling pro- cess in @ short space of time, usually but atew minutes, The insect prefers bare sandy piaces or hard dry ground tor this purpose, but at the same time Will Gvipowit in other joeations, The egas Gre deposited sf10 by side im a mags to the num- ber of 90 100, They. age slender, yellowish, align tly carve: (Den it .e.,.1h, abd when fred are soit and moist, ra to the cold winter, | Abd measuré about one-dfth or nn | NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 28, 1875.—TRIPLE SHHET. but soon become barder. They are rarely, if ever, deposited in moist or wet ground. When they first hatch they are wnite or grayish ‘in color and very tender, and in the beginning of spring the cool nights often destroy many of them. THEIR FOOD. ‘To begin with, they eat nearly everything that can be eaten and rarely ever leave until the supply 8 exbausted. They have their prefer- ences, however, aud delight in anything acid or sour, and even bot and bitter substances, as tobacco, Lepper, &¢,, are muca to their taste. The tender vegetation is always destroyed rst, but it is a little singular that sweet substances, 48 green corn, sorghum and the like are not attaeked until the others are consumed, Riley says, “Vegetables and cereals are their main stay; turnips, carrote, cabbage and radishes are all devoured with avidity, beets and potatoes with less relish, thouzh sometimes the tubers in the ground no notescape. Onions they are very partial to; of leguminous plants the pods are preierred to the leaves, and cucurbitaceous plants also suffer most in the fruit. Of the cereals corn is their favorite, and If young aod tender is aevoured to the ground, They are fond of buckwheat and fax, but seldom touch cas- tor beaus, Next to vegetables and cereals they relish the leaves of frult trees. Those of the peach are generally left untouched, though the drut is eaten to the stone.” Nor do they cease when the supply of green food js exhausted, as they are known to cat the dry baré of trees, the dry lint Irom a well seasoned fence plank, dry jeaves and paper, cotton aad wooller fabrics, and they have been seen even upon the backs of a flock of sneep devouring the wool, Dead avimals are sometimes {00d for them, and if one of their own number becomes disabied it 18 soon finisned by its hungry brethren, They show a marked preference tor wilted or unhealthy plants. OTHER SPECIKS. : In the Hast we have a little grasshopper quite common to our flelds, called the “red-legged locust” (Culopunus Jemur-rubrum), which at times 18 quite destructive, though never as much 80 a8 our Western species, and it is not migratory. This species so closely resembles our Western the same; indeed, the principal difference 1s in the length of wing of the latter, wmch, after all, 1s quite a difference where extended flight 1s to be kept up. Acridium Americanum, another Eastern species, was last year so numerous in Suffolk county, Virginia, that the farmers in the neighborhood feared tne Western species was upon them. It only proved destructive for @ short time, how- ever, and then seemed to disappear. In California Gdipoda atrox is sometimes quite destructive to vegetation, and the Utah cricket (Anabrus simplex) sometimes does great damage in that Territory. INSRCT ENEMIES. There are several insects that attack grass- hoppers and serve to materially lessen thelr num- bers. The ewgs are devoured by a tite, Trombidium sericeum, which crawis into vhe holes where the eggs have been deposited ana devours them in a wholesale manner, itis of @ pale red color and about as large as a smali grain of wheat, Anotner mite, asioma gryllaria, lives upon the insects themselves in great numbers, fastening into them with their jaws, eventually causing the destruc- tion of the victim. It is much smaller than the preceding, but from tts bright rea or scarlet color 18 readily seen, generally iasiened to the grass- hopper near the base of the wings, The grassnop- per is also attacked by two species of parasite fies, 7achina anonyma and Sarcophaga carnaria, which deposit their eggs upon different parts of the body, not accessibie to the jaws of the insect. These eggs soon hatch, aud the young maggots at into tne body of the insect and there feed upon the fatty parts, finally killing the infested hopper, thougu not until it has leit its boay and bur. owed into the ground. They twen change to pupa, from which in time the mature fies appear. As alarge percentage of the grasshoppers, when examined, are found to contain the living 100% less Maggots of one or the other of these apecies, it is readily seen that they must do incaloulabie good. WHAT HUMAN AGENCY CAN ACCOMPLISH. At firat thought we might be inclined to say, Nothing to speak of, where the insects come in such countless myriads, even darkening the sun; but, alter all, where there 1s a will there is a way, and every little wil help. First of all, man can accomplish something by destroying the eggs, which is done by finding the holes, where they have been laid by the parent insect, and digging them out. For example, if @ bounty nad been offered tor at so much a pouna last fall, after the invasion from the far West, mea, women and chiidren would bave gone to work in earnest, and mucb good would have been done. Riley also suggesis deep ploughing, which would cover the eggs too deeply in the ground for the insects ever to appear from them. This has been used in Texas with advantage by a correspondent of the Department of Agriculture, in lodia, Syria and South Africa the natives em- ploy smoke to oppose the invading host, which ts preduced from burning the dung of tueir animals mixed witn chopped grass, straw or roots, as such fuel as wood or peat isnot to be obtained, The smoke is Said to be dense and stifing, but, of course, it is only empioyed to keep off an invad- ing army, and is lighted before the insects appear. ‘The prairies are sometimes fired in this country for the same purpose, thougn the best use of prairie fires is in the spring, When tne insects are young aod have not yet acquired their wings, Fires lighted in circles at this time will do mack good, as the young insects are burned up. ANOTHER PLAN is to rope the fi@las, which is done by hitching a norse ateach ena of a rope 200 f jong, and, dragging it over the Meld, the hoppers are brushed to the ground, ano, though they return to their work, after a ‘ew such bruspings they become disgusted and leave. Fields thus “roped” have yield ten to fifteen bushi per acre, while other flelds beside them were destroyed, Another method is to attach together two sheets, jorming @ sort of bag, to which is fastened %4 cross pole, the two ends of waich are taken by &@ couple of operatives and the whole is drawn Tapidiy over the grain. Of course the insects will have (0 be desiroyed by scaiding or other means alter they are captured, Alter all, this is bus one of many devices which can be made to catch the in aud it matters little whether we use simple Guutrivances or machinery, so they are caught. In Colorado a fire machine is reported as quite sacceesiul, It is m: of sneet iron, contains a bed of coals, or buruing Wous, and carries devices for sweeping @ Wide swath of Dpon the flames, AS imany acres can be cieured per day as « machine reaper cun go over, That catcniog ts the most avaiiabie remedy was iMustrated recently In the State of Minnesota, where &pumber o! counties offered bounties fur insects at $1 26 to $2 GO per bushel. Look at the resal’. Biue Earth county, Minnesota, repuried receipts jor ove day at 800 to 1,000 bushels, which were paid for and buried. Other counties make Stmilar returns, if the reporta are to be relied upon. I think more good will result from State legisia+ tion, by the offering of bounties, than any ormer course that may be adopred. Make grasshoppers au article of trade, ana pay for them im cash by the “almighty doar’ is to be considered. 1 do not thean to s.y that the farmers of the Northwest } Mave not Gone ali they could to protect them- geives, but I do say that such a course would make it @ matter of interest to all—even the ovys would flod that they had an interest in tne subject~and the result would be thousands of busigis of dead grasshoppers.

DEPARTURE OF THE INVADING ARMY, Less than two months ago reports began to come in from Kansas, Nebraska and the adjacent States that the grasshopper eggs deposited last year were hatching out by the ‘thousands of millions,” and since that time they have been maturing, and at last the rematnder of the horde that were not destroyed in the eld by parasitic enemies or captured and slaughtered by the farmers, have folded their tents aud taken up thew line of marca towurd the land of their fatners in the Northwest. CHARLES R. DODGE, Assistant Entomolgist Unitea States Department of Agriculture. HOW THE GRASSHOPPERS CAN BH UTILIZED. Wastinaron, June 21, 1875, ‘YO TH8 EDITOR OF THE HERALD: dn your issae of June 17, you ask if grasshoppers: cannot be utilized. It 1s my conviction that they can. Allanimal matter, whea it can be cheaply procured and in sufficient quantity, can de utilized With a payaug profit, As the grassbopper ques- tion is by no means solved {t would be well for those Immediately mterested in their destruction to call thy attention of inventors to tne subject and offer prizes in money ior the most improved machines or methous of securing and utilizing them, In a tormerurticie, puolished in this city, 1 proposed to convert them into jerulizer’, vased on my experiments made with the common grass- hopper, which found to be rich tm oil and nitro: genous matter.

A thirty-five years ago the editor of the Lunavn Mechanics’ Magazine, writ ine, sali “Well, it 18 undoubtedly a new element; but of what use is ic?” It would be dificult nowadays 10 say how the world could get along without it.

Tney have ail lespouded to the invitation with the exception of Great Britain and the United States, The objec- tion on the part of the two latcer was that the scaeme did not origimate with the Frenca goveia- ment, that it was a )rivate and mota public en- terprise, aud that consequently the response could not properly be made a national one.

CABS, OMNIBUSES AND STREET CARS, Every Day Life of the Cabby and the ’Busman. Lonpon, June 1, 1876, Sittiag in my watchtower in a northeriy suburb of this great metropolis, somewhat alver the fasion of Teuxelsdréch over the Wahngasse of Wissnichtwo, lam tempted to sublime emotions. Hampstead 1s a couple of mfiea behind, dark and quiet, Sor itis night time, but in front and to right and le(t the illimitable ctty giooms and gleams. From the gioom and the gleam comes that dull yet restless roar of lie which belongs alone to London, Night and day the tides of labor roll and roar, ana you may hear them afar, trom this northerly watchtower of mine, a8 4 mere inar- ticulate moan, It is the noise of sorrow and of travail—tt is the naif-heard refrain of humanity’s splendid mare. As a child with ashell ut its ear makes Its faint ear-tone assume this or the other measure, or murmur tnis or the othér story, 80 you may draw what fancy andl what feeling you will from the distant hum of the overgrown and overcrowded city. ASPECTS OF STRERT LIFE. ‘There ts nothing which is not splendid or great when in multitude, and there are few things which do not acquire acharm by distance, But come down into the streets and ascertain the reason for thia perpetual murmur ef life. Walk, ride, drive about London for a day, and you are a-dull man indeed ifat the end of your wanderings you have not discovered that one particular style of vehicle ia mainly answerable for tuat “nolse of the udes of urgent life,” which stirs every new- comer to London, and which cosia him many a headache before he grows accustomed to tt. That particular style of vehicle is the “growler.”” The growler isan oblong box on four wheels, and It has a sort of well jor the reception of the legs of its occupants, It has two doors which never fit, and in each door 1s a square of zlas® enclosed in a shding frame, and that sliding trame also never fits, That the growler is farnished with springs is obvious on the most casual observation. That the springs were ever in any solitary instance known to act ia any appreciable degree you will find no man mendacions enough to assert. The growler is arawn by one horse, who is asa rule an animal of a depressed habit of mind, given to boring, and always en- gaged, when in motion, in @ close inapection of his own knees, The growier’s mission is to carry any number of persons, not exceeding half a dozen orso. It cannot be ordered from its stand Jor any less sum than one shilling; but for that shilling it may be legally made to drive two miles, and its authorized scale of charge thereafter is nixpence per mile. Itis a noisy and a cumbrous vehicle; but it exists in enormous numbers and in muck reque: It 1s technically known a “four-wheeled nackney carriage” and briefly aa a “four-wheeler,”” the term ‘growler’” being re- sented in its behalf by 1ts driver as conveying a slanderous and uniounded imputation, Whatso- ever statistics Spree in tne course of vis ar- ticle relate to the resuits arrived at by the jolice ‘authorities at Scotland Yard on the fist of December last, and at that date there were 4,413 * wiers’’ in active Operation in the metropolr ‘he anthorities of the hackney car- riage department at Scotland Yard note one tuing im connection with the growler. It is that the uses of that vehicle are chiefly those of pleasure and of feminine business. ‘'ne four-wheeler parties of four or thereabouts to the ta concerts, and brings them home again, and it 18 much used in shopping by ladies wuose husbands are unable te maintain a carriage. THR ‘HANSOM” CAB affords a much more cofventent, a much more mMeJera and a much more expeditious means of transit, It is only nalf as noisy as the growier, and 1s, a8 & rule, better horsed. ‘The nansom is an aimost purely business vehicle, and is but one step removed irom the French déso- Diigeante of old days. People who really want to make the most of their money eceasionally contrive to make a hansom carry three, though, as le, One portly person fills the little vehicle There are 3,776 of t aud each 18 ulready men- it the reager jorm some approximate nowon of the money expended in the production of that perpetual roll and roar which reaches this northerly watchtower at all hours Of the twenty-four aud at ail seasons of the year. WHO OWNS THE COACHES? The haekney carriages of London dre all in the hands of private proprietors. One or two at- tempts which bave deen made to start a company on & largé scale have from one cause or another fallen througe. Here and there the criver of a hackney carriage 1s the owner of horse and veni- comparatively rare. Tne vast majority of drivers either servants Or, in @ small way, Contractors. The general rale is tuat tue cab driver bires horse aud venicie for dally sum aod that daily sum is generally tweive shitings, That, accepting the figures of the sist Ot December last, represents a vaily amount of nearly five thousand pounds expended in hire at first band and, allowing each driver the very mod- erate suin of five shillings per diem as bis profit on the hire of horse and conveyauce, you arrive at this stupendous resuit—that in the course of a the two populations o/ Lonaon expend in \his particular kind of tramMic very nearly two mill- fons steriing. By the phrose the two populations of London I mean of course ita resident and its floating elements.
