II takes mankind = great while 70 learn
the ways Of Providence, and to under
stand that things are better contriyed for
him than he can contrive them himself.
Of late the people are beginning TO learn
that they have mistaken the character Of
most Of tho little birds, and have not M
derstood the object Of the Almighty in Gre
ating them. M
They are looked upon as the friends,
and great friends, of those who SOW and
reap. 1t has been seen that they mostly
live on insects, which are among the
worst enemies Of the sgriculturist, and il
they now and then take grain Of wheat,
they levy but small Tax for the immense
services rendered. In this altered state
Of things, legislatures are passing laws
for the protection Of little birds and in
creasing the penalties to be enforced upon
the bird killers. An illustration Of the
value Of some of the winged tribe is now
before us in paragraph from paper in
Binghamton, N. Y. ~sNl bia.
4 A farmer IN that neighbornood wished
to borrow gun Of neighbor, for the
purpose Of killing some yellow birds in
his field Of wheat, eating up his grain
His neighbor declined TO loan the gun,
for he thought the birds useful. In order,
however, to crafty his curiosity, he shot
one Of them, opened its crop, and found
in it two hundred weavels, and but four
grains of wheat, and in these four grains
the wevil had burrowed This was q
most instructive lesson, and worth the
life Of the poor bird, valuable
as it was. The bird is said to resemble
the canary, and sings finely. One Of our
citizens, careful observer and owner of
many farms, called our attention to this
paragraph, and said use il as text, for
sermonizing, for the benefit Of the farm
efs and others who may look upon little
birds 10 their interests.
He says be hiss studied the subject, as
a lover Of natural history as well as a
hunter and farmer, and he knows there
is hardly bird that flies that is not .
friend of the farmer and the GARDENER
We think the gentleman is right, and hope
that his suggestions will have their due
weight.- chronological Journal.

Maple Sugar.

There is more than usual profit 10 be
expected from sugar making this year.
The sorghum growers have realized very
handsomely for the crop SO far as we have
learned, except in a few isolated cases Of
failure from late crops or early frost, and
the letters Of inquiry we receive indicate
an interest on the part Of the owners of
sugar trees, which will probably result in
securing very large crop Of maple sugar.
The sap of trees grown upon different soils
and exposures, is found 10 vary consider
ably in the quantity Of sugar it contains,
and in earthly impurities also. These
impurities are not Of much Importance.
They are salts Of lime aud magnesia for
the most part. Besides, the sap contains
some albuminous substance, part Of which
is coagulated by the boiling, and may be
skinned off from the boiling syrup after
it becomes considerably concentrated, and
another portion with some Of the earthly
salts may be removed by straining thro'
flannel before sugaripg off" When the
sap yields much scum, and is seen to be-
impure, it is usually clarified by the addi-
tion Of few eggs beaten together with
milk, and stirred into il, all Of which is
subsequently, removed by skimming. Tin
or wooden sap-troughs, buckets and
spouts, or "spiles" ought TO be prepared
during the present month. A good evap-
orator is made by riveting together two
or three sheets of Russia sheet iron, turn
ing the edges up so as to make a large
fiat pan. This must BE provided with
large faucet, and set nearly level, support
ed by bars Of iron, to prevent sagging
and warping. Some Of the eyaporators
invented for making sorghum syrup have
been used, ms we learn, with very good
results. They certainly are well adapted
to The purpose. We shall be glad To-
hear from some of the large maple suea-
makers, in regard to any improvements
in the way of making sugar, recently in
troduced, with particular description of
their apparatus Of all kinds, for il is some
