THE VALUE OF BIRDS. The swallow,
swift, and nighthawk are the guardians
Of the atmosphere. They check the
increase of insects that otherwise would
overload it. Woodpeckers. creepers.
and chickadees are the guardians of the
trunks of trees. Warblers and hy-
catchers protect the foliage, blackbirds.
thrushes. crows and larks protect the
surface of the soil. Snipe and wood.
cock protect the soil under the surface
Each tribe has its respective duties to
perform in the economy of Nature and
it is an undoubted fact that, if the birds
were all swept away from off the earth.
man could not live upon it. Vegetation
would wither and die, and insects would
become so numerous that no living
thing could Withstand their attack. The
wholesale destruction, occasioned by
the grasshoppers which have lately de-
vastated the West, is undoubtedly caused
by the thinning out of the birds, such as
grouse, prairie hens, ETC., which feed
upon them. The great and inestimable
service done to the farmer, gardener
and florist, by The birds is only becoming
known by sad experience. Spare the
birds and save your fruit The little
:orn and fruit taken by them is more
han compensated for by the vast guam
titles of noxious insects destroyed. |
The long, long prosecuted crow has
,een found, by actual experiment, to do
ar more good, by the vast quantity of
,rubs and insects be devours, than the
title harm he does in a few grains OF

chiccory is largely used both in

purpose it is grown extensively in
Yorkshire, England, as well as in
Belgium, France and Germany,

cofeine which gives their peculiar
virtues to coffee and some other

shows that chiccory possesses few

EXPERIMENTS WITH FARMYARD
MANURE.
''In these experiments" says Mr..
Lawes, "1arm-yard manure has been
applied for many years IN succession to
different crops. When you are urged
to farm higher, the meaning is that you
should put more dung upon your land.
Consequently, it is of great importance
to ascertain, with as much accuracy as
possible, the effects OF the application o.
large quantities of dung.

BIr. Peter Henderson, in the
Gardeners Monthly, says that his
experience has never yet shown
him a single instance wherein be
was certain that plants either absorb
liquid manure, Or even fcsiilizing
gases by their leaves. lie states
that plants growing in air so
strongly impregnated with ihe
efluvia from fertilizer factories that
it is almost unbearaLlc, are not
appreciably benefited thereby. The
air is gas or rather a combination
of gases, and there are plants
which live upon the air and thrive.
Don't their leaves absorb the
gases ?
