How Birds Saved a Crop.

Our old friend, Col Caleb May, now
of Montgomery county, gave us a call
yesterday. lie was one Of the first
settlers in Atchison county, and has
lived in Kansas since 1854. lie has
never, ne SAYS, failed to raise good
crop SSsince he located in this State,
either in Atchison county, where he
lived until about 1867, or in Montgom-
cry county, where he has since resided.
Col. May states that the birds saved
his crops this spring. The locusts
Matched out on his farm in countless
myriads, but shortly after they began
to make their appearance, thousands
of small brown birds, known as the
"rice bird, and mGltitudes of finches,
also put in an appearance. These
lively little birds began an immediate
and relentles war upon the young To-
Gusts, and kept ii up for three weeks
without cessation. at the end of that
time Col. May states that there were
few of the locusts left. They were
very small at that time. and each bird
destroyed hundreds, probably thous-
ands of them, every day. Col. May
believes in protecting the birds. He
viii allow no man TO shoot, trap or
snare any bird on his place. And he
advocates the passage of stringent
law prohibiting the killing of birds at
any season of the year, within the lin
its of this State. He has had a prac-
teal example, he says, Of the value of
birds as insect INSTRUMENTATION
Champion.

The growth Of grass on our prairies
this year, is much more rank than usu-
al, and farmers would do well to be-
gin now to make fire-breaks around
their buildings, their hay and grain.
Every year thousands of dollars are lost
by fire, and all through negligence. 1t
will only require a few hours work to
complete the work, and then you are
safe. If you have occasion then to be
absent from your place day or two,
you can go away and feel sure that,
when you return, the fire fiend will not
have consumed the hard earnings of a
long life. We have noticed good many
corn fields, too, that will need protection
to keep the fires from running through
them. Even fields that were compar-
atively free from weeds at the time
the corn was laid by, are now badly
overgrown with weeds and grass. Our
abundant rains during the entire grow
ing season, is the cause of it all. Don't
neglect protection from fires.

The New Orleans Picayune says ::
eve feel confident that the Louisiana
Grange Agency, with its rapidly in
creasing business with all its sections,
will ere long be one of the features of
New Orleans. Not only does it fur
nish supplies to the farmers of our
State at bottom prices, but it also in
duccs shipments of the produce of
western Oranges to our doors and
sends them i'll return the products of
our soil. The agency also has an Of
flee at the stock landing, with yard and
pasturage for cattle of all kinds. This
branch of the business has been very
successful, and the correspondence
from this State, Texas, Kentucky, etc,
indicates for the future a large in
crease. The saving TO the planters in
ordering through their Grange Agent,
not only their groceries and dry goods,
but agricultural implemdnts, wagons,
stoves, sewing machines, ETC., on all
of which they receive the full discount
furnishes them with surplus availa-
BILE for improving their homes or farms.

Protection for Birds.

We clip the following resolutions,
passed by Neosho Grange, No. 52S, Z.
of H., from one of our exchanges.
We think the protection of the birds
is a subject of legitimate inquiry, by
the Grange. and we suggest that the
committee on the "Good ofthe Order"
in each Grange, take this question I'M
der immediate consideration. Let
them bring it up for discussion by the
Grange, in order that all may properly
understand it. We thinks the whole
sale slaughter of the birds is INDUCED
in. and permitted by the farmers, more
from ignorance than anything else.
Let the truth be known, and then stand
by your friends, the birds, and you will
never have reason TO regret it.
Welike the sentiments of the editor
in-chiefof this paper on, the subject of
law protecting quails, prairie chick
ems, etc, from being killed, for a peri
cd ofiire years. lis not beneath the
dignity Of our legislators to come
down 10 the enactment Of such law.
Let our wise men laugh al the intro
duction OF bills of that character, and
thus Kill the bill, but the time is COM
ing, and we think not very far distant,
when the people viii call them to an ac-
count for their stewardship.
Here are the resolutions:
WHEREAS. We view, with the deep
est indignalion, the wholesale slaugh-
ter ofprairie chickens. quails and small
birds, by reckless sp9rtsmen therefore
be ii
ReSolred. That we will use all legal
means within our power to suppress
this wanton destruction of these birds,
so useful to the farmer in destroying
the insects that devour his crops.

No Room for Loafers in the Grange.

We occasionally meet some who
have gained admittance into the
Grange, that have entered it under an
entire misapprehension of its mean
ings and objects. They seem to have
thought that all they had to do. to
grow suddenly rich, was to join the
Grange; and now, because their fool
ish and unreasonable expectations are
not suddenly realized, they have lost
confidence in it and think it humbug.
Now, suppose such one had bought
farm with similar views land they
would be just as reasonably, and then
sit down, expecting that farm to make
him rich, without blowing, planting,
cultivating, etc, would the farm be a
humbug ?-Woathly Talk.

There is no fruit that can be raised
easier and with less labor than the
grape. Every farmer in Southwestern
Kansas could have an abundant sup
ply of grapes for his table, if he had
only expended a little time and money
two years ago, in setting out a vine
yard. A few men in our valley did so,
and they are now enjoying the luxury
of as nice Concord grapes as ever grew
in any country. Our market is now
supplied with grapes that grew here at
home. Twelve and a half cents per
pound make them little too much of
a luxury, however, for most Of our
people. We hope in two years from
this date to see them sell on the streets
of Wichita for three cents a pound,
and vineyard in nearly every garden
in the country.

Social Leanness Among Farmers.

The American farmer, in all his
planning and all his building, has new
er made provision for life. He has
only considered the means of getting a
living. Everything outside OF this
everything relating to society and cul-
ture-has been steadily ignored. He
gives his children the advantages OF
schools. not recognizing the fact that
these very advantages call into life a
new set Of social wants. a bright,
well-educated family, in lonely farm
house, is very different material from
a family brought up in ignorance. An
American farmers children, who have
had few terms at neighborlng
academy, resemble in no degree the
children of the European peasant.
They come home with new ideas and
new wants, and if there is no provi-
sion made for these new wants, and
they find no opportunities for their
satisfaction, they will be ready, on
reaching their majority, TO fly the
farm and seek the city.
Ii the American farmer wishes TO
keep his children near him, be must
learn the difference between living and
getting living; and we mistake him
and his grade OF culture altogether, if
he does not stop over this statement
and wonder what we mean by it.
To get living, to make money, 10
become Observation-Disclosures is the
whole of life to agricultural multi
tudes, discouraging IN their numbers,
to contemplate. To them there is no
difference between living and getting
a living. Their whole life consists in
getting a living; and when their fam
lilies come back to them from their
schooling, and find that, really, this is
the only pursuit that has any recogni-
ton under the paternal roof. they must
go away. The boys push TO the CEN
tres of the cities, and the girls follow
them if they can. a young man or q
Young woman, raised to the point
where they apprehend the difference
between living and getting living,
can never be satisfied with the latter
alone. Either farmers children must
be kept ignorant or provision must be
made for their social wants. Brains
and hearts need food and clothing as
well as bodies: and those who have
learned to recognize brains and hearts
as the best and most important part of
their personal possessions, will go
where they can find the ministry they
need.
What is the remedy? How shall
farmers manage to keep their children
near them? How can we discourage
the influx of unuecessary-nay burden
some-population into the cities We
answer: BY making agricultural soci-
ETY. attractive. Fill the farm houses
with periodicals and books. Establish
central reading rooms, or neighbor-
hood clubs. Encourage the social
meetings of the young. Have concerts,
lectures. amateur dramatic associa-
tons. Establish a bright, active social
life, that shall give some significance
to labor. Above all, build as far as
possible in villages. Ii is better to go
a mile to ones daily labor, than to
place ones self a mile away from
neighbor The isolation of American
farm life is the great curse of that life,
and it falls upon the women with a
hardship that the men cannot appreci-
ate, and drives the educated young
away.-.ScriJner's Monthly.

Get the best hands, aud keep them.
When man has become used to his
work and his employer, he is worth
more than a stranger. There is a way
of making men interested in their
work, of satisfying their self-respect,
treating them courteously and reason
ably, giving them credit for success,
while holding them strictly responsible
for failures, and above all. by paying
them promptly and literally, that will
make the work worth double what it
would otherwise be.
