no taste for locust egg bunting, baying
their share from more fortunate or in­
dustrious brethren. The quantity col­
lected in 1879 waa about 26 tons; in tbe
following year it reached the enormous
total of 236 tons. The destruction of
locusts' eggs, successful as it proved,was
only one single battle in tbe locust war.
T o destroy the coming generation was all
very well, bnt in the meantime the l i v ­
ing boat marohed on, ravaging and de­
vastating the land. For their destruction
more than 8000 locust traps in the form
of ditches were arranged in such a way
as to make escape impossible; 5000

by Said Pasha, bad to be manufactured,

1882 In the spring of last year more
than 12,000 tons of locnsts were destroyed
in a single district. The plans for the
destruction of locnsts this year have
Ixieu changed, and instead of collecting
the eggs every preparation has been
made for exterminating the hordes when
they eventually commence their march.
The locusts being indigenous to Cyprus,
it is hoped that, as the population in­
creases and cultivation extends, then
they will be altogether eradicated, when
the barren places on which the locusts
exclusively lay tbeir eggs are nsed for
tbe cultivation of vine, olives, corn and
cotton. A very interesting account of tbe
plague of locusts in Asia Minor is to be
fonnd in tbe newly published report of
our eonsul at Smyrna. After describing
tbe ravages of these insects in 1880, he
says. “ In July, 1881, the plague of lo-
onsts suddenly ceased; these animals died
off in myriadB, destroyed, it lias been
stated, by some minnteinsect which pen­
etrated tbeir beads. In the districts
which suffered most from their ravages
the inhabitants were compelled to assist
in tbeir destruction. In tbe springs of
1880 and 1881 tbe fields, gardens and
roads were literally blackened with these
insects, crawling all in the same direc­
tion, and leaping before you in multi­
tudes at every step. The peasants were
mustered in small armies to collect and
destroy the young insects,sweeping them
into sheets or trenches preparatory to
burning them. But in May and June
when tbeir wings were tally developed,
ail efforts to destroy them were in vain;
they filled the atmosphere in never-end­
ing clouds, throwing a glittering haze
over the landscapes and blotting out sll
objects save those in the immediate fore­
ground. In July, 1881, they suddenly
disappeared, smitten, as it seemed, by

W e English are great meat eaters,and,
as our home supply is qnite insufficient,
we have to import more than 600,000
tons every year.
With the growth of
onr population, and tha decreasing num­
ber of live stock at home, the imports of
meats from abroad have prodigiously
increased in th « last quarter of a cen­
tury.
Iu a paper road before fbe Royal C ol­

Agent-General for New Zealand, stated
that frozen meat in any quantity can be
placed upon this market from the other
side of the world at 6d to 0%d a pound,
leaving a good profit to the grower.
“ This,” he added, “ ought ultimately to
make meat cheaper here or at least pre­
