MAKE BIRDS FRIENDLY.

Some kindly soul writes to Cincin-
natl paper: l was much interested some
weeks since at the remark of friend
living in the suburbs of the city, that
when he left home early in the morning,
he thought as many as two hundred
birds were chirping and singing in the
trees around his home. | asked him,
"How do you account for this, seeing
that it is SO very early in the season,
and the snow scarcely gone from the
ground ?" He replied, Il love birds,
and delight to feed the little songsters,
and for this purpose purchase refuse
grain and seeds at cheap rates, and ar
range shelves and convenienccs for feed
ing on the trees and fences. BY these
means l am always surrounded with
birds, early and late" Now, the pur-
pose of the writer of this is to propose
like acts and like pleasure to others ;
and to suggest to those having little
spots of waste land to plant hemp, sun
flower, rape, and other small seeds (the
expense of which need not exceed fifty
cents), and they, too, can feed and en-
joy. the presence of the early birds,
which will delight to visit and spend
their summer days around the mansion
of their friends. Particularly at this
time, when our Acclimatization Society
is spending money and efforts so liberal
ly in introducing European birds o
song, is it too much to ask all VIII
would encourage the enterprise to hal
feed the birds? Plant your little seeds
watch the gradual growth, keeping il
mind the aim to make home and its sur
roundings happier and to teach the lit
tie two-legs indoors to care for and trea
kindly the little two-legs out of doors
Feed, feed the birds. All will be tn
happier.

The most simple, as well as the effect
ual, remedy for kicking COWS is that en-
ployed by some of the dairymen of Herk-
inner County. It consists in buckling
a leather strap rather snugly about the
body Of the cow. just in front of the I'D
der. The cow is thus rendered power
less to do harm in kicking, and the most
confirmed and viciously inclined kickers
are at once subdued. Those who have
employed this simple method say that
in no instance, in their experience, has
it failed,
We have frequently used the above
method, and can recommend it as much
more effective, than the two frequent
method Of applying the strap or milking
stool over the back.

HOW GOOD FARMERS SAVE
MONEY.

They take good papers and read them.
They keep account of farm operations.
They do not leave their farm imple-
ments scattered over the farm, exposed
to the rain, heat and snow.
They repair their tools and buildings
at the proper time, and do not suffer
subsequently, three-fold expenditure of
time and money.
They use their money judiciously and
do not attend sales to purchase all kinds
of old trumpery because it is cheap.
They do not refuse to make correct
experiments in small way of many new
things.
They plant their trees well, and care
for them, and, Of course, get good crops.
They practice economy by giving their
stock good shelter during the winter,
allow good feed, taking all that is I'M
sound, half rotten or moldy off.
They do not keep a tribe of cats OF
snarling dogs around. the premises, which
eat more in week than they are worth
in their whole life.
They rvod tho advertisements aud
know what is going on, and frequently
save money by it.
| Successful farming is made by attend
ing to little things. The farmer wht
does his best earns his money with bes
appreciation and uses it with the bes
results. Such men are the salt of thu
earth.

naer is sensible institution generally.
The editor agrees with us on narrowing
up the weeds, bnt we can't reciprocate
his deep-planting system. Potatoes need
be covered deeply, but not put much be-
low the natural surface Of the ground.
They are more easily cultivated and dug
when thus planted, and will, according
to our experience, be more productive
~ II, Ms7w0r and Farmer
The depth at which potatoes do best
depends entirely upont the soil. In light
sandy or loamy ground our experience
has demonstrated that planting at the
bottom of the furrow-six or seven inches
deep-and giving level culture, will pro-
duce the largest crop and the best pota.

it is aometimes necessary to plant even
on the surface. But when SO planted,

tatoes, especially of the more productive
kinds, will stick out and be much injured

but if the land is kept as free from weeds
as it should be, not much in light land.

Don't always be having the blues and talking of hard

And when you return from your labor and the day has

Your evening repose will be If greeted with

Then hurrah for the Taylor Farey with their music

And hurrah for the Hardwck Nursery with big apples

Hurrah for Mack the inventor of the Light Running

The Burlington and Missouri River
Railroad Company has planted thirty
five miles of trees along its line of road
to act as a wind and snow breaker. This
strip of trees is fifty yards wide, and
contains seven rows of trees. This will
also test the climate and soil as adapted
to raising all kinds of trees.
Farmers should have a good supply
of the smaller fruits in their gardens,
and now is the time to plant them. They
are easily raised in abundance, and there
is no more palatable or healthful fruit.
If you desire currant that requires
less sugar in cooking than the common
red, plant Dana's Imperial, This is a
white variety of very good size, and is
good in quality. Dig about all currant
bushes that are planted, about these
days.-Bostoas Cultiuotoa.

WILL THE SHEEP BUSINESS BE OVER
DoNE!-A correspondent asks II we
'think there is danger of the sheep in
terest being overdone ?' The question
is not fairly put. If he asks us to indi-
cate some line of business which will
never meet adversely, we can tell him
very quickly that we know of no such
business. Everything must have its ups
and downs, its alternating sunshine and
showers, and the sheep business is no
no exception. But we do not know of
an industry which rests upon a more
legitimate and safe basis. To start
with, the production of woolis not equal
to the wants Of the country and the
growth of our population is such that it
requires each year the product of 4,OO0,-
900 more sheep than it did the year be-
fore.-Nationm Lice Stock Journal.

Mr., Graham said that the points were grave,

in such cases would be credtable to the judge,
