BIRDs.-We sometimes preach of birds
but what is the use Of preaching? Our
practice has been for years not 10 leta sn-
gle bird be shot on our premises. No.
not even cherry bird that comes without
leave for his bag full of fruit, aud retires
again without even singing for his supper
Even the crow, the terror Of the planter
by The wood side, is more ford OF mice
than of corn, and though he likes few
kernels during a very short season 10 the
spring to make up his meal, he probably
does US more good than harm by Teduc-
ing the number of the numerous vermln
that infest our fields. One half bushel of
corn sown on field of six acres will ef-
fectually protect all we bury in the earth.
And what is the expense2 Ii may be for
! ty cents for a whole season. How little
compared with the expense of trying to
kill them.
In regard TO all other birds al least, far.
mers should strictly forbid their destruc'
ton on any part of their premises. We
are likely to be overrun with worms, ]
we don't persuade the birds to help us
| Robins will build their nest close to oul
doors if we make no war upon them
for they fear the hawks when they ballt
| near the woods. -CHltirator.
