BIRDS AND THEIR USES.

Baron Won Tschudi, the well-known
Swiss naturalist, says :-"Wi;hout birds
successful agriculture is impossible. They
annihilate in few months greater num-
Der of destructive insects than human
hands can accomplish in the same number
of years. Amongst the most useful birds
for this purpose may be classed the swal.
low, wren, robin-red- breast, sparrow and
finch" Tschudi tested titmouse upon
the rose bushes of his neighbor, and rid the
same in few hours ofinnumerable lice. A
robin-red-br killed in the neighborhood
of 800 flies in an hour. A pair of night
swallows destroyed in fifteen minutes an
immense swarm of gnats. A pair Of wrens
few thirty-six times in an hour with insects
in their bills to their nests. He considers
sparrow very important; pair of these
in q single day carry 800 worms or cater.
pillars to their nests-certainly good
compensation for the few cherries which
they pluck from the trees. The generality
of small birds carry to their young ones,
during the feeding period, nothing but in
sects, worms, snails, spiders, &c. Sufficient
interest should be manifested by all to pre-
vent the discharge of fire arms in the vici-
nifty of orchards, vineyards and flower gar.
dens, as thereby the useful birds become
frightened.

HsA- A distinguished horticulturist learn
ed by chance that the best way to label a
tree is to write with a lead pencil on zinc.
The name cannot be erased at first, and it
grows more distinct and durable with age.

PAINTING HoUsEs.-Repeated expert
ments prove that paint applied between
November. and March will last twice as long
as that applied in warm weather. The rea-
son is that in cold weather the component
parts of the paint form hard substance on
the surface, as hard almost as glass but in
warm weather the oil penetrates the boards,
and the paint wears off.

A WOMAN'S FRIENDSHIP.

1t is wondrous advantage to man, in
every pursuit or vocation, to secure an ad-
wiser in sensible woman. In woman there
is at once subtle delcacy of tact, and
plain soundness of judgment, which are
rarely combined to an equal degree in man.
A woman, if she be really your friend, will
have a sensitive regard for your character,
honor, repute. She will seldom counsel
you to do shabby things, for woman friend
always desires to be proud of you. At the
same time her constitutional timidity makes
her more cautious than your male friend.
She, therefore, seldom counsels you to an
imprudent thing. A mans best female
friend is wife of good sense and heart,
whom he loves, and who loves him. But,
supposing the man to be without such help
mate, female friendship he must still have,
or his intellect will be without garden,
and there will be many an unheeded gap,
even in its strongest fence. Better and
safer, of course, are such friendships, where
disparity of years, or circumstances, puts
the idea of love out of the question. Mid
die life has rarely this advantage; youth
and old age have. We may have female
friendships with those much older, and those
much younger, than ourselves. Female
friendship is to man, the bulwark, sweet
ness, ornament, of his existence.

AGRICULTURAL WEALTH OF OUR CoUN-
TRY.-The imports of grain during the year
1868, in the city of Chicago alone, have
been sixty-six millions of bushels. The
exports, sixty millions. Yet this is not
half the capacity of production of the State
of Illinois. If the people of Great Britain
were dependent on foreign importation,
that State could give every man, woman
and child a pound of bread per day, and
leave none of her own children hungry.
The power of America is the power of the
plow!

INFLUENCE OF FORESTS IN PRODUCING
RAIN We have on various occasions call
ed the attention of our readers to the init
mate relation between the climatology of a
country and it's forests, showing that as the
latter are cut away the amount of rain de-
creases. An interesting instance of the
converse of the proposition has just been
announced in connection with the climate
of Egypt. For long time, as is we'll
known, rain has never fallen in Upper
Egypt at all, and in the Delta only on five
or six days in the year. Some years ago,
however, Mehemet Ali planted twenty mil
lions of trees on the Delta, and they have
now attained considerable size. The re-
suit is that the number of rainy days has
gradually increased from five or six every
year to forty, with the prospect of attain
ing still greater proportion hereafter.

GRAPHING.

Every farmer should learn to do his own
grating. 1t is very easy operation when
once understood. A sharp pen knife and
good fine saw are indispensable. Split
ting the stock so that the bark shall not
be bruised, and shaping the scion wedge
fashion both ways, preserving also the bark
uninjured, and placing the rim of the wood
of both wood and scion exactly together so
that the sap csn intermingle-there is no
danger of failure if properly waxed. We
make shoulder to the graft, and think it
adds to the certainty of success, though
probably weakens it. We prefer also two
eyes of buds to graft and would rather
have only one than more than two. One
years wood should always be used when it
can be obtained, as it is more certain to
take and grow more vigorously.
We wish to remind those about prepar-
ing grating wax, that we have found four
parts of rosin, one part of beeswax, and one
part of beef tallow, to be the best prepare.
ton. Melt them together in skillet
(Which is the best) or tin cup and mix
well. 1t should remain in the vessel and
be used as needed. Twenty or thirty scions
can be waxed with one heating up. When
much grating is to be done, little fire for
heating the wax should be made on the spot
between two bricks or stones.

FIRST CHRONICLES.

In those days it came to pass that it
was my lot to tarry in Emporia E; and in
those days there came wise men from
the east and tarried here many days, in
somuch that Emporia became a great
city and is city of great fame to this
day. And behold there came great men
from the eastern country, men that
brought much gold and silver, and they
viewed the country round about Empo-
ria, and they saw that it was good, and
they viewed the great Neosho valley,
and they said Behold we will make the
rough places plane and the crooked
places straight and it was so.
And it came to pass that on last Sun
day many people went out of the city
in northerly direction, and when we
came nigh unto Neosho, there we saw
great number of men at work some
wrought in iron and some in wood and
/ said to my guide, What seest thou?
and he said, Behold the rough places
plane and the crooked places straight.
And said unto him, What callest thou
this? and he said, a railroad and he
said unto me, Look, and l looked and
saw great moving object like unto a
living animal; on its forehead was a
light above the brightness of the sun,
which shone round about the road and
out of its head came fire and smoke, and
out ofits back came great noise which
was like unto thunder, and it seemed to
breathe out of its sides, and the running
of it was faster than the driving of ia
hew, and it was drawing a great house
like unto tabernacle, and one of those
wise men came out of the end of the
chariot and said unto the people: Be-
hold bring you tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all the business men
of Emporia.
And the city of Emporia was made
glad, insomuch that the citizens prom
