birds in tI,e Orchard.

Farm, Field and Fireside.
The Insects and the numbering gunners are the
worst enemies the fruit-grower encounters.
There was time il the past when the earth
was under the dominion of insects and venomous
reptiles, and not until the birds completed the
work of insect destruction was our globe made
habitable for man. Although the conditions of
Gle present day may not be so unfavorable to
mah's prosperity yet he could not exist without
the aid of the birds. The birds keep the intrud-
| ers from multiplying too rapidly, and would even
do much greater service but for the base ngrati-
tudeo man, who, with the shotgun and snare,
keeps them perpetualy limited to fewer mum
bers. and drives them from his presence.
| How can birds be induced to remain near thu
faimerl Simply by protecting them We well
| know that birds themselves prey upon each
| other the earhivor0ds hawk and owl making sad
havoc among the insectivorous kinds, the ono de-
| pending upon strength and natural weapons of
| assault for success while the others seek safety
| in flight or seelusion. BY trying few expert
ments farmers can soon learn how 10
protect the birds and secure their
presence We know of farmer
who not only desired birds but preferred them
of different varieties He built boxes and placed
caves of the houses and barns and upon poles.
These boxes were made with entrances of differ
| ent sizes and diameters The holes of the boxes
for the little wrens were not larger than an inch
Then few a little larger were made for the
blue birds, ana thus he increased the size to
accommodate ALL The smallest birds sought
the boxes with the small entrances where larger
birds could not enter, the result being perfect
security and safety for all He has no difficulty
in retainiRg birds, which perform valuable work
on his farm, and also benefting his neighbofs,
but the shotgun is never fred on his premises
Why should farmers tolerate the destruction
of birds on the farm simply to afford sport to
cruel, heartless sportsmen, who know nothing of
the usefulness of the slaughtered innocents,
and who do more damage annually to the crops
Of this country by killing birds, than dc all the
dogs among sheep great as the figures may
seem against the dogs.

ADVICE To YOUNG DEMOCRATS.
An Organ Wastes Its Breath by Telling
Them Not to Seek Office.

An Organ Wastes Its Breath by Telling
Them Not to Seek Office.
.Philadephla Tiaes (pem.D
There are many thousands of young Demo
Gratis who now foRdly hope to get into office.
There is u fascination about official position,
however humble, that readily tempts even sensi-
BILE young men. and often old men as well, to de-
sert the content Of industry and frugality, to
enter the feversh, ill.requlted, and uusatisfying
field OF political mendieants. There is but one
sensible answer to give to all such, and that is
the advice OF Punch to young folk about to get
married-Dontl
If any young Democrat imagines that the
possession of Office is haven of bliss, let him
take week. and spend q few dollars, looking
over the now trembling official dependents
who have gone before Let him 60 to Washing
ton, and look over the thousands of govern
ment subordiEates there. Let him gaze into
their Swallowed faces; at the genteel poverty
that asserts itself in their apparel, and at the
bowed and slvered who look to removal as star
walton. Let the victims of this once pleasing
Democrat will return to his home and the con
tent of honest industry, cured of office begging
No greater unkindneSS be shown to any
young man of fitness for subordinate public of
fee, than to crafty the dream OF his ambition
by giving him ccrkship or tide-waitership in
one of the departments of Washington, or in one
of the city federal Offices. OF those who will
seek Office not oneih five will be successful; of
those who shall happen to be successful not one
half will better their condition even for the
present and Of the other half only the bitter
ness Of disappointment and helplessness will be
their portion. Not subordinate in five hun
dred ever rises above the position of a depend
ent. 1t is worse than wasted life to many; a
proltless life to all. DON'T

Timber Screens.

Country GentIs ntII-
Different persons judge of the benefit Of
screens according to the way they look at them.
Some decide on their influence by watching the
diminished growth of crops directly under their
shade, or within the reach of their roots. Others
look for their benefits too far off The follow
ing rule will apply with considerable accuracy:
Within range equal to the height of the trees,
the growth of most crops will be lessened be-
You'd this limit and for distance seven times as
great as the height of the screen, there will be
a decided benefit to most crops, and especially
TO those liable to be injured by severe winds;
still further away the benefit will gradually dis
appear at twelve times the height of the screen.
These results will be modified by severe open
winters, or wet or stormy summers. The screens
are of course expected to be so dense as to nearly
arrest violent winds.
