is a disgrace to our civilization.
G mparing ourselves with others,
even if the comparison shows them

not mend the matter, or wipe out
the disgrace. IF we cannot secure
safety to our citizens as they travel

Swallows by Millions.
TnrN CoNGREGArE IN SUcH NUMBERS THAT
THE HEAVENS ARE ORscuREp.

For several years past, at about this time
in the late summer season or early autumn,
there have commonly appeared brief items
in the Westerly correspondence of Rhode
Island newspapers, concerning the annual
gathering of swallows in that town. These
items have seldom done more than to state
the fact of the birds appearance, or possibly,
to give short sketch of their doings. Per-
sons who have noticed the items at all, or
given any thought to them, have, from the
meagre statements given, considered the
occurrence of no special Importance or
interest, but simply in accordance with the
well-known custom of swallows to flock in
groups before their annual departure for the
South; and when occasionally, a statement
has been made that the swallows annually
fiocking to Westerly could be numbered by
millions, it was thought to be merely the
exaggeration of some enthusiastic cores
pondent. Only those who have visited
the place, in the proper season, have any
idea of how much these stories meant.
Upon an inspection their number seemed
legion. One could think of nothing but a
snow storm with black flakes, From the
plainest outlines of the lowest flying birds,
To the merest specks of the most aspiring
wanderers, the picture was that of constantly
moving, intermingling millions of little
winged creatures. 1t was a sight never to be
forgotten. At times. no two seemed to be
flying in the same direction, though as a
whole the vast company would sway from
side to side above the grove. Again, a group
of hundreds, would take a common direction
circling around the inner circumference of
the general company, now descending
towards the tree-tops with a symmetrical
swoop, or rising in the air until almost lost
to view. Then they would return to the
common crowd and resume their separate
courses as before.
By the mildest and most conservative esti-
mate which the reporter could make, after
talking with several who observed the birds
daily, and could best judge of their numbers,
he was forced to admit that there were at
least 3,000,00 of them. To say that the
cubic space occupied by the birds in this
nightly flying to and fro, after nearly all
have gathered, does not exceed 500 feet
dimensions each way and to believe that,
compressed into this space in their closer
fight, the birds would not exceed 25 in each
1000 cubic feet of space 90 feet each way),
is to make estimates which all who have
seen the birds will say are altogether too far
within bounds. And yet this estimate would
give at least 3,l25,000 birds.-From Tho
Proridence Press.

condition to excite the sympathy Of the most cold
blooded and hard-hearied person in the world We
say he came-he was, rather carried 10 the Doctor
Office, for he totally helpless, and bore the weight
Of ~ years besides. He had suffered long from Re
tention of Urine, and had all the symptoms of an
aggravated case calculus formations in the blad-
der. The usual instrumental examination revealed
the presence in the bladder of urinary calculus of
uncommon size Or. Kennedy frankly told Mr..
Westfall that, owing TO his age and debility, an
operation was out of the question, but thai he
could, by the prescription OF "kenne1y's Favoiite
Remedy" together with loc Il treatment, make him
comfortable and leave him TO live out all his DAYS.
The outcome of this that the patient enjoys

Strawberries, like potatoes are always
more fruitful when given a change Of
soil; consequently success largely depends
on having runners from distance. This
may be comfortable intelligence to nursery
men who have large stock of plants to
sell, but fruit growers will be slow to ac-
cept this new theory. Some varieties sue
cecd better in sandy soil and others in clay.
and in such cases a changing of plants,
that is of varieties, will naturally prove
advantageous.

fields are so much pinched that they could

Poultry manure is well worth saving
1t contains when dry, in 1000 pound,
about 40 pounds of nitrogen, 20 pounds o.
potash, l-2 pounds OF lime. IL pounds o.
magnesia. Sc pounds of phosphoric
acid, and ten of sulphuric acid
These are worth at the market prices OF
fertilizers about SIS. equal to $50 ton.
This. however, is much less than is popu-
larly supposed to be the value of this ma
nure, which some persons think to be
equal to guano, or 800 ton by
the above valuation But to pre-
serve all of its fertilizing value the drop
pings should be carefully saved each day
and mixed witha small quantity of plaster
and put into dry place where they may
not become subjected to any injurious
fermentation. The best way to keep it is
in close barrels, in which it NAV slowly
decompose without loss of ammonia The
mixture of plaster adds nothing to its
value. but preserves all its elements, and
especially the nitrogen, from waste by
absorbing the ammonia produced by its
decomposition.
