The Usefulness Of Birds.-An intelligent
gentleman has his say on the usefulness of birds,
as follows: "These little creatures do some damage
it must be admitted. They will pick up seed that
has not been we'll covered but that ought to teach
the farmer to sow his seeds more carefully. They
will feast upon the ripe grain, and sometimes des
troy more than they eat; but the farmer seldom
considers that he might not have had any grain
to harvest were it not for these same feathered
intruders. During the time between sowing and
harvesting, birds must live upon something be-
sides grain, and we fancy that farmers seldom
think that that something is principally insects,
and the eggs of insects They rear their
young on these, and one hrdly estimate the
immense number of insects thus destroyed Were
it not for this safeguard that nature has kindly
furnished US in the form of the feathered race,
the world would according to the best calculations,
be completely overrun in a few years of uninter-
rupted propagation with crawling, singing, pests.
Birds have an important work to do, and we should
aid them with all the means at our command;
certainly we cannot afford to destroy our protec
tors. Every farmer should teach his children to
cherish and protect their feathered friends En-
courage the birds, and children too, by building
bird houses about the farm buildings. Teach the
boys to build these houses, and thus serve two
purposes at Notwithstanding them to the use
of tools, and imbuing their minds with humane
sentiments Many farm home knows naught of
music but that which floats on the air from ma
lures orchestra. Let us have all the sweet
sounds we can, to soften and tighten rural
tolls We wish it distinctly understood, however,
that we except the English sparrow in every in
stance. He is the greatest nuisance ever brought
to this country, and the sooner we get rid af him
the better. He will drive away more useful birds
in O week than farmer could kill in a month.
In fact, he monoplizes the whole business"

Building Another Mill.-In addition to the
two large saw mills of Hugh Sisson d Sons, at
their marble quarries, at Beaver Dam, in the Sth
district of this county, this firm is now erecting
third one. The large quantities of marble
they are getting out for the Washington Monu-
ment now in course of erection at the Nations
capital, together with what is needed for their
regular supply, necessitates the building of an
ofher saw mill.

Boycotting at Woodberry.-The Wood
berry Neps of last week says: "Quite an animated
discussion has been going on in Woodberry, be-
tween the labor organizations and Mr. A. G. Eiche-
berger, one of the most prominent store-keepers
in the town. The labor organizations, number
ing nearly thousand men, have a committee
known as the Boycotting Committee. This COM
mittee some time ago notified the store-keepers
that unless they sold cigars, made by Union cigar
makers, they, the labor men, would not deal with
them. All of the merchants but two complied
with the demands of the committee, one of whom
was soon compelled to quit business, and sold
out and left; the other Mr.. Eichelberger, who
has brother a cigar-maker, defed the labor
organization, and refused to buy Union made
cigars, and one day last week issued circular,
open letter, addressed to the labor organiza-
tions, which was mixture of defiance and APP
peals On Saturday last the labor Committee re-
piled in a neat and well gotten up address to Mr..
Eichelbergers open letter and flooded the town
with them. The address was a full and fair
answer to Mr.. Eichelberger's objections. Where
the matter will end of course we do not known"

Jarrettsville, Hartford County.-As is well
known, Jarrettsville is situated on the water
shed formed by Deer Creek and the Little Falls,
and being so well elevated, is consequently free
from the devastating floods that have visited

Last week, at the raising of Mr.. Wilson Gal
breath's barn, Mr.. John Bailey had his foot badly
mashed by piece of falling timber, the injury
causing him much pain and inconvenience.
1t is contemplated to hold the next annual

How to Judge Watermelons.-When the
melon begins to change color inside and its seeds
turn black, small speck, scale or blister beings
to appear on the outer circle or rind. These are
multiplied and enlarged as the fruit natures. A
ripe melon will show them thickly over the
surface. partial development only indicates
halfripened fruit. full crop of blisters reveals
its perfect ripeness. When hundreds of melons
are strewn along the sidewalk you will have to
look pretty sharp to find one that exhibits a
satisfactory "escutcheon," to borrow q term from
M. Guenon. But it is unfaling when found;
and by following this guide you may walk away
with your melon with the most entire confidence
