    insect is treated somewhat comprehensively as to life- history, habits, and remedies, yet without being exhaustive or technical, to be of considerable service to them. I’o furnish such a guide to the more intelligent class of prac- tical farmers has been the aim of the writer, who trusts that the following pages will he read as such and not as in any way a coiitribution to science. The author wishes most unreservedly to disclaim any originality for the contents of the work, and to state that unless otherwise noted all the facts are merely compiled from the writings of others. Free use has been made of the writings of' all the most jjrominent American ento- mologists. Where the treatment of a group of insects has been largely drawn from one or two sources, they will often be indicated by quotations in the text. Many of the following chapters or parts of them have previously appeared in various agricultural journals during the past three or four years, to the editors of which the author desires to exj^ress his thanks for their courtesy in allowing him to here republish them ; namely. The Country Gentleman, The Farmers’ Eeview, Farm and Fireside, Farm News, The National Eural, Texas Farm and Eanch, The American Agriculturist, The National Stockman and Farmer, and The Practical Farmer. The author is particularly indebted to Prof. M. V. Slingerland, of Cornell University, for kindly reading portions of the manuscrijit and for several suggestions of value; to Dr. L. 0. Howard for assistance in part of Chap- ter X; and to his wife, Anna Cecilia Sanderson, for a large amount of clerical assistance. K. DwKiiiT Sanuersox. Newakk, J)ur.., Ffbruury, 1‘JOl.
