Sparrows.

How much longer will there be spar
row clubs and sparrow prlzes2 They
are the result of want of observation.
A new light broke in upon my baillfi
yesterday as he saw flights Of sparrows
busily engaged In our field Of green
pens, approprlating the "louse" which
was injuring the plant and stopping
Its growth. am q great believer In
birds and poultry as farmers friends,
and this belief has been produced not
not only 10y reading the opinions and
facts Of others, but from thirty years of
close observation of their habits. My
gardener WAS an lnveterate enemy to
birds, and destroyed their nests in my
shrubbery. and In consequence there
was always:a complaint of grubs and
other destructive insects but when
put firm veto against the destruction,
my garden was well filled with unin.
jured produce. In fact. II you have
grubs and insects in your garden stock
II with birds or poultry, and you will
no longer complain. In very dry wea-
Their, when worms and insects are
scarce, you must protect your fruit.
Just now 1 see lots Of my poultry
among the young msngold or the tsres,
"approprlatlng'' my enemies. But
have so often said that my best corn
crops are within go feet of the fowl
house, where the crops. from the day
Of their sowing until harvest, undergo
poultry examination, that l will not
again trouble you with details. One
must have confidence with only a
bushel an acre Of seed-wheat at their
mercy. Let me warn those who do
away with all their hedges that there
should be belts or strawberries, not only
as breeding places for birds. but also as
shelter from strong prevailing winds.

Agriculture a Science and an
Art.

Agriculture is both science and an
art. The laws that govern the growth
of plants embrace the science Of agri-
culture. The putting in practice the
truths discovered by science involves
the art. 1t is an error to suppose that
the science and art of culture can be at
variance; for the scientific part Is the
result of practical observation.
THEORY AND PRACTICE.
Theory is the result of philosophical
investigation founded upon correct OBJ
servation. 1t cannot. therefore, in Its
true sense, be at variance with prac-
tice. The general acceptation of the
meaning, namely. that 1t Is in direct
opposition to practical experience, is
not now. nor was 1t ever. so viewed by
men of science. All true theory Is In
accordance with Natures laws, and
these are Interchangeable. When, there
fore, an experiment Is made, the result
of which Is not what was desired, 1t
goes to show that the true conditions
for carrying It out have not been fur.
nlshed, else no dlssimilarlty Of result
could have taken place; for natural
law Is equally at work. whether 1t be
a failure or success. From this 1t Is
fair to infer, that farmers who have
been misdirected by possessing a pre-.
tended knowledge only of the subject
under consideration, that they should
not view the failure as contrary to the
true science of agriculture. as laid down
by master minds. but rather as the
dreamings of men not familiar with
the facts required to be known.

In America there Is plenty Of bine
which was doing well, until II was
found. horrible dlctu that the potato
bug, the dread Colorado beetle, has
forsaken the potato plant and other
solanaces, with curious fickleness, for

with this scare, Is the fact that his bug

Ligurian Bees.

l have been greatly interested In
what has been said for and against
Llgurian bees, and the conclusion
have come to Is that: First, there must
be profit in keeping Ligurians for
sale, to sell In swarms, or to sell queens
for ligurlanlzlng other swarms Sec
ond. that they are no better honey pro-
ducers than the common bees and,
Third. that therefore, TO those whose
aim is profit by means of honey, 1t Ia a
loss to Invest In Ligurian bees. These
conclusions have been arrived at In
various ways. So many Of the evil
dences In favor of Ligurians came from
parties who had them to sell, that /
could not think their evidence was OF
a disinterested kind. Then / was
greatly astonlshed that last year no one
accepted the competition proposed by
Mr.. Pettigrew. who advocated the
British bee; and. again, your CORES.
pendent "B. & w." who otherwise
appears favorable to the Ligurian
makes this important statement: 81
must acknowledge that am far from
satisfied that the common English bee
Is not in every way as profitable as the
Italian bees. have now had them
for many years" Mr.. Pettigrew has
the warmest thanks of many. He has
fought unfinchingly on behalf Of the
English bee, and thereby deferred
those whose aim was profit from incur
ring needless outlay In buying bses
which, after all that has been said In
their favor. have so little proof of their
superiority as swarmers or honey gath
erers.
