Those annoying pests of the fruit growers!
How shall we get rid of them? 1t seems
they get thicker and thicker every year!
Why is this?
Such are the questions and exclamations
Of many.
answer, simply because our small binds
get scarcer and scarcer. They are wantonly
murdered by the thousand, every year
merely for sport. Now let every one who
sports in this way think, that it is estimated
that a single pair of birds annually consume
the enormous amount Of one million insects.
Just think what an injury he does The fruit
crops by shooting pair Of innocent birds.
Many farmers shoot the birds little thinking
of the harm they do to themselves. The
birds may eat the grain or fruit, but ! ash
cannot he afford to lose that little, TO secur,
good crop?
A few years ago some English sparrow
were imported for the Central Park, Ne,
York, they have greatly multiplied and max
great havoc every year in that sectio
among the caterpillars, insects, etc.
An Agricultural society Of Pcnnsylyani
have contributed two hundred dollars tt
wards paying for the importation of inse
eating birds. The society cordially invit,
other societies to subscribe.
Besides the birds there are artificial mcal
for the destruction of insects. A good plan
TO set a pan containing diluted molasscs
different parts Of an orchard the insee
dive greedily into it and are drowned. T.
dead ones should be removed every da
The molasses will serve the whole sease
one gallon being sufficient.
Another method is to place in difiert
parts of the orchard, about dusk, ligh,
lamps old campaign torches are excclle
they could not be put TO better use.
Vulnerable insects fly into the lights and
burned.
A great many other methods are adopt
such as Manipulating, shaking trees, .
but those methods cannot be employed
profitably in large orchards.

Foun,iering Horses,

A certain cure for founder in a horse is to
stand him in water up to his belly. have
known it practiced for fifty years and
swathing the legs in hot water, vinegar and
sugar of lead, are all good to some extent !;
but founder must be relieved suddenly, or
the horse will show stiffness in his action
and have deformed and callous or tender
hoofs.
Water applied to the legs do not consid-
er a positive cure; the disease must be at
tackled at the root, by bleeding and purging,
a few drops of blood taken from below tho
fetlocks will hasten his recovery. But the
most certain and quick remedy that | have
ever known is green goura. Take u large
green gourd, cut it up; put ii into gallon
Of water and boil it down TO quart. Srair
the liuuid and drench-in twenty-four hour
the horse will be perfectly himself. Thu
gourd is a powerful diuretic, and will caus
