LIPS.
GEORGE 2. EAGLES,
Red lips that ever pout and smile,
That seem to mock and say you daren't;
Whose blushing curves WOO and beguile,
With art that's only just apparent.
Proud lips that curl themselves and close
On dazzling teeth of pearly whiteness,
That mind one of budding rose,
AL fragrant in its dewy brightness.
Fond lips that seem to glow with love,
That set the ardent pulses burning.
That coo as softly as a dove,
Until fellows head seems turning!
love them all, nor either best,
In either there's no sweetness missing
Red. proud or fond, the man is blest
Who revels in their blissful kissing.

MULCHED STRAWBERRIES.

Many of our readers have seen on fruit
stands the difference in the appearance Of
fruit, some had a peculiar glossiness which
rendered them exceedingly attractive, while
others would have a dull, dead appearance,
that was exceedingly unattractye. The
first was quickly sold ut paying prices, while
the last went begging for purchasers.
'sWhat is the reason for this gloss?" you
ASH. Simply that the plants We're heavily
mulchel, and perhaps watered. Not only
does mulch keep the fruit clean, but, by
keeping the surface Of eground moistand
cool, it prevents the reflection of the SUMS
rays fronafa dry, hot surface from burning
or scorching the fruit, and giving tia dull,
dead appearance.
We have before referred to plantation of
Wilson'S Albany, grown by4a farmer living
in South Bend, Indiana, Il few years ago,
not only in reference to the large yield, but
the fine size and peculiar glossiness Of his
fruit, which sold his entire crop quickly at
25 cents per quart. We SHALL never forget
tllattyear No rain from theaniddle of May
to the last of june. just at the time when
strawberries most needed it. Our straw
berries, not grown in mated rows, notwith-
standing they were matched some in the
rows. were about lkcbullets for size and
hardness. and we obtained from twenty to
twenty-five bushels % the acre, getting in
all between three III -four hundred bushels
from some eighteen ceres. While this farmer
nickcel at the rate of one hundred bushels to
the acre, and that, to, from Il part that had
rather poor care the year previous.
After August first he got tired tending
chem. and let them gohelter skelter, with
out even cultiyating them. Haying%read
that it was a good planto scatter straweoyer
the entire surface, he drew out q nlinibers OF
loads during the winter and scattered over
them, so as to hide them an1 the entire sur

Our last legislature passed a law regard
ing the preservation of some birds, and des-
truction of hawks, amt whether this has
any effect in the increase of insectiverous
birds or not, but this we do know, that from
all sides comes the reports of Il fast increase
in the numbers of sparrows, blue-birds,
larks. robins and black-birds, and we know
of over five hundred hawks heads having
been returned to three different County
Treasurers for payment Of the bounty of 25
cents pcrThead.
Last year about this til,e we urged the
planting of trees, urging, among other rea-
sons, that they would afford home tor the
birds; that birds we must have for self-pro-
lection, This year it is demonstrated that
they are great helps to the farmer in des-
troying the hoppers. We have been~told by
different persons from different sections that
the birds are destroying acres of these pests;
frequently we hear it said that the hoppers
sed as to how and where they go. A relia-
bic farmer said to us this week that he had
seen thousands Of blackbirds- alight ON Il
knoll on his farm that was Il llatching bed
for hoppers, and that after they had flown
away he had examined the ground and did
not find one.
'1s sail that Providence helps those who
help themselves. May not this be true in
this case? We pass-laws to protect our true
friends, and other laws to destroy the enc
mics of OIlr frinnISs Gan WI. see in this Il
ray of light in the problem of how to get
rid of the hoppers? Now for a law to COM
pei land owners to iToyide a home for the
birds; let lis have tree planting made COM
pulsory. or ut least some kind Of IL law that
will encourage it.-Colorado Farmer:
