FARM AND GARDEN.

| BIRDs.-The wanton destruction Of in
sectivorous birds is finding its natural
result in the increase of the pests of the
farm and garden, and the very things
our fathers cultivated with the least
trouble and absolute certainty now cause
the greatest amount of labor, and can
only be raised by extreme care and in
creasing watchfulness.
Eternal vigilance" has become the
price of cabbages and potatoes. The
garden is swarming with vermin, and
the fields are overrun with bugs. The
| birds, whose business is keeping within
bounds insects noxious to vegetable life
and growth, have been destroyed, driven
away, or at the best not encouraged, and
we are paying dearly for cruelty and
thoughtlessness.
The old belief that birds were an in
jury, and not benefit, has been long
exploded, and boys should be taught
better than to indulge in their destruc-
| ton. "BQb White" never whistled cheer
| lily but He was doomed to destruction,
and careful investigation (by means of
dissection) has proven that for one ker-
mel of grain he filched he killed hun
dreds of worms and slugs, and destroyed
millions of eggs. Even the crow, the
Ishmaelite of the fields, for certainly ev-
cry hand is raised in murder against
him, does ten fold the good he does in
jury. If he pulls up a hill or two of
corn now and then, to eat as a relishing
salad, he pays for it thousand times as
scavenger and destroyer of the teeming
insect life.
Let the birds alone! They are the
best friends of the agriculturist, and one
ought to feed them in place of grudging
the little they eat Give the robin and
the cat-bird the few cherries they crave,
as desert to the dinner of seeds; let the
crow have chance. An all-wise Provi-
aence created them as helps to man, ana
promiscuous slaughter is going against
the wisest DEGREES of nature.
Let the birds alone! Encourage and
protect them. You will be none the
poorer. Your labor will be much les
sened, and their songs will repay for
their trifling cost, if the more and greater
service they render in the destruction OF
insect life is ignored.
GUINEA FowLs.-Somebody has assert
ed as experience Cor at least advanced as
theory that Guinea fowls will eat and
thrive upon potato-bugs. We have new
er seen this tested to our satisfaction, but
it is worth the trial. They love wide
range; are shy of the house; find their
own food, and it seems reasonable that
they should not disdain the Colorado
beetle. 1t is certain that they are most
prolific layers; that no chickens will be
troubled by hawks when they are about;
are good eating if rightly cookedsas
good almost as the boasted prairie
Chickens and if to their other virtues
can be added that of destroying potato
bugs, they must take the front rank. Try
the experiment. There can be no loss
attending it.

Round Shoulders.

Mothers are often perplexed as to what
to do with round-shouldered daughter.
Shoulder braces are not effective in cur
ing the deformity. Neither is the adj
vice, so generally given, "to sit up
erect to walk with the shoulders
thrown back, satisfactory. It is followed
only for while, for the effort it requires
is fatiguing. A correspondent of the
New York Tribune suggests the follow
ing remedy:
"Suspend two ropes with bingham
dies attached from a doorway or tree
limb, and compel the child to swing by
the arms ten minutes each day three
minutes at time. She Will strai, ghten
up in three months. This is often dem
onstrated in the converts. The elastic
exercising tubes are better still hung in
the house, and they are delightful pas
time"

Roman Emperor Nero did with gold, so

A buggy-ride, perhaps, is not
The finest subject for song,
But when the muse has thus been caught,
To treat things right deem no wrong.
Twas events stillest, saddest hour,
When all the ether seemed ablaze
With filings of golden shower
That sparkled in the western haze.
The truest pair of glowing eyes,
Though fathomless as azure's sea,
Glanced up in mine with mute surprise,
And flashed with friendships ecstasy.
OF course they were the cornerstone"
OF this production, howe'er grand;
They give it depth, and strength, and tone,
If to such heights it doth expand.
Along the quiet, dusty way,
With even's shadows dropping down,
To fold the fleeting, dying day
In dingy robes of deepest brown,
We drove our slowly-prancing steed
Hired horses ne'er possess soul,
And, though it always is the need,
never thought of paying "toll,"
Until at last she said that
Must write poem of our ride.
I thought the theme was rather dry"
Unless she be the song implied.
And, whispering in her list'ning ear,

So simple that no maid need fear
Bestowing it upon a "loon."
It was not granted; and, of course,
knew it was not right to steal;
'Twould tinge our joy with remorse

Oh. why heard those exhaustless stores
OF rapture that but bringeth bliss?
Why wreck our hopes on fancy's shores,
When it's no theft to steal a kiss?
plead-but it was vain to plead;
And teased-but useless twas TO tease;
And reasoned-but twas wisdom's need
That whispered this would never please.
The ride was over, and at last
The silent, parting hour had come,
When thoughts are roaming swift and fast,
And eyes but speak, and lips are dumb.
And, though but friends, know the bliss
That little favor might have wrought;
The rapture of one simple kiss
Had savored this with deeper thought.
I learned lesson. So may you
