HIRING HoRsEs.r-It has been decided,
says the TuIJ, Field and Farm, that
when a horse or carriage is let out for
hire, for the purpose of performing a
particular journey, the party letting
warrants the horse and carriage fit and
competent for such a journey. If the
hirer treats the horse as any prudent
man would do, he is not answerable
for any damage either may receive.
But he must use the horse for the
purpose for which he hired him.
For instance, a horse hired for sad
die must not be used in harness. If
the horse is stolen through the hirers
negligence, such as leaving the sta
BILE door open all night, he must an
swer for it, But IL he is robbed Of 1t
by highwaymen, when travelling the
usual roads at usual hours, he can
not be held responsible for damages.
As these questions are frequently in
dispute, it is not out of place to shed
little light upon them.
SPARE THE BIRDs-THErR IMPORTANCE
bslalmca ON THE FARM.
nj. Waddington, French minister of
public instruction, at the request OF
his colleagues, the ministers of agri-
culture and of the interior, has issued
circular to the departmental pre-
fects detailing the injuries suffered
by growing crops from the ravages
of destructive insects, and enforcing
the necessity of protecting those
classes of insectivorous birds which
prey upon them. The same fact is
noticed and deplored in France
which has been recognized by in
telligent agriculturists in this coun-
try, that there exists in the minds OF
the people an unfortunate and in
veterate tendency to destroy these
birds. Their kind offices in destroy
ing vermin are in many places stu
pidly ignored, and they are pursued
with relentless destruction as public
enemies. .s.l-.s.. -.
T.. To he 0P
the rising generation, of these pref
udiees, and secure proper protection
for the farmers friends" the pre-
fects are directed to bring this mat
ter to the attention of superinten-
dents of instruction and teachers and
cause them to show their pupils how
to distinguish injurious insects from
harmless ones, and to indicate the
classes of birds which prey upon the
former The protection of the latter
is to be impressed upon the minds
OF youth as a public duty and every
effort is TO be made to secure a spon
taneous and hearty cooperation with
the authorities in this great work.
But in case such methods should fail
the projects are reminded of certain
statutory acts, enforced by severe
penalties, which are to be clearly, in
dicated to the pupils, and to be rigid
~ enforced by the relentless prose-
eution of all .infractions of the same.
In some communes protective socie-
ties have been formed among the pu-
pills OF different schools. 81 Good re-
suits have alreadyn flown from this
new organization, which promises 70
extend itself throughout the republic.
