KAvAGEs or NICM BIRDS.


Painful Discoveries of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The Department of Agriculture Is en-
gagged in publishing an interesting work
IN regard to the action of birds upon
agriculture. Some OF the facts Contained
in this report are almost startling IN the
character. II appears that the rice birds
entail an enOTmUus loss ON the rice grow
ers in the south. Capt. Hagood, OF South
Carolina, one OF the largest rice growers,
IN describing the raVages OF these birds
says: They come In the latter part Of
April, when they are known as babohnks.
Their piumaXe is white aud black, and
they sing merriiy when at rest. Ghelr
flight IS always at night. IN the evening
there are none. Ia the morning their
appearance is heralded 10y the popping of
wAlps and the firing Of musketry by the
bird mluders in t0eir efforts to keep the
birds from pulling up the young rice. This
warfare Is kept up necessarily until
about May %, when they suddenly dis
appear at night. Their next appearance
is In a dark yellow plumuEe as The rice
bird. There is no song at TINS time, but
instead chrp which means ruin 10 any
rice found in milk, My plantation
record VIII show That for ten years, eN-
cept when prevented by stormy south or
southwest winds, the rice BIRDS have
come punctually on the night OF Aug.
u, apparently coming from sea-
ward. All night their chirp can be heard,
and millions OF the birds make their APP
pearance aud settle in the rice fields.
Curious 10 say, we nave never seen this
flight during the daytime. From Aug. 81 to
sept. % our every effort is 90 save the crop.
Men, boys and women are posted with
guns and ammunition every lttle WAYS,
but all efforts are only parity successful.
The loss by birds destroying the rice on
my plantation amounts to not less than
$500 auuuaily,and the expense Of ammu-
nltlon and bird mlnders amounts 10 81, 40
more. | have known One-half the crop to
be destroyed by the birds"

SUDDEN DEATH OF Mrs. WAYNE. =
Mrs. Wayne, wife of Nathaniel Wayne,
farmer residing about three miles from
Boscobel, died suddenly last Wednesday
afternoon. The last time she was seen
alive she was apparently in good health
and nothing unusual was observed She
was about her household duties Wednes-
day and ate dinner with her family, after
which she started out from the house on
an errand to another part of the farm
Not returning when it was expected she
would, one member of the family went
to find out the cause of her delay, and
found her lying few rods from the
house, dead. Sarah Wayne was a ma
tive of Missouri and was born about so
years ago, and if we recollect right, has
resided at her home near Boscobel about
ii years. A consistent member of the NJ.
Il. Church, she was woman of rare
qualities of heart and mind, and although
the graces of her Christian character
won for her many friends. her sphere
was pre-eminently the home and was
well fitted in her duties as a wife and
mother. Besides her husband, she
leaves four children to mourn her loss.
Funeral services were held Friday morn
ing at 10 o'clock, the interment taking
place in the family plat near her late
| home

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. Last
Saturday the Supreme Court of Wis
consin rendered two very important
decisions, which will be read with in
terest by many of our readers. In the
matter of Robert E. Mcleod, of Lima,
against John II. Evans, assignee, Chief
Justice Cole reversed the Judgment of
the lower court and remanded the case
with directions to grant the relief asked.
By this decision the assignee of Isaac
Hodges is compelled to pay Mcleod
the proceeds of a $1,000 draft, which
he (McLeod) left in Hodges hands for
collection just before the bank failed.
The decision will also have an import
ant bearing as test case, as there is
between $4,000 and $4,000 similarly
involved. belonging to other parties.
The case of Platteville City VS.. w. <.
Bell. for unlawful detainer, involving
the question whether contractor can
hold lien on a public building. Judge
Cassidy affirmed the judgment render
ed in the Grant County Circuit Court,
according to which the city wins the
case.

THE SPENCER CONCERTS The enter
tainments given at Hyde's Hall Friday
and Saturday evenings by F. w. Spen-
Ger. were rare musical treats. His
diversity of talent and the excellence
of his performance on each instrument
are phenomenal. Though master of
stringed instruments his forte is the
violin, on which nc plays music of a
very high order, as we'll as original vari-
atoms of popular airs. His playing
evinced much talent and real musical
feeling. One of the most delightful
numbers of the entertainment Was the
violin solo, lie Petite Tambour," which
was rendered with great delicacy. In
the guitar solo, "Sebastopol." Mr..
Spencer's descriptive powers and won
derful execution were best displayed.
As guitar soloist we have never heard
his equal. He is assisted by young
lady pupil who seems TO share his talent
for the stringed instruments and adds
thereto the music of sweet voice.
MIR. Spencer's name was an unfamiliar
one when it was displayed on the posters
announcing his coming entertainment,
but we feel sure that his music has
made for him many friends who will
welcome any future announcement that
he may make, and we trust he will not
all to come this way again.

FRosE-Last Saturday a cold rain,
with hail in some localities, prevailed
over the county. Toward night it
cleared off with a cold northwest wind.
Sunday morning the early risers saw the
ground white with frost. Tomatoes,
beans and other tender vegetables which
were exposed were entirely killed. In
some of the lower valleys the oak leaves
were slightly singed. Corn, such as
was up, was not injured, as the germ of
that plant does not come above ground
until the leaves are three or four inches
high, and it cannot be killed by frost I'M
til it has been up about two weeks.
Considerable damage was done to straw
berries and some say the apple crop will
probably be in great part failure by
reason of this frost.

IMPROVEMENTS IN FARM MACHINER

IMPROVEMENTS IN FARM MACHINERY
"A few days ago, HERALD reporter,
while looking over reaping machines,
dropped into the agricultural ware.
rooms of G. w. Knapp & Sol, where he
met G. d. Streeter, general contracting
agent, who called his attention to one
OF the many improvements in the
Triumph Binder, manufactured by the
old and reliable firm of ID. S. Morgan
q Co., of Rockport, N. Y, which is a
folding binder that covers all the re-
quirements. One of the desirable fea-
lures of the machine is the folding
of the hinged binder part around
toward the horses, so that 52-foot cut
machine will pass through ten foot
gate, thus doing away with trucks or
taking down fences to get the machine
into the field. The actual draft at end
of pole, with the binder folded and a
driver of lao tbs weight is only 80 TBS.
When the machine is folded, the main
wheel and gearing are exposed so as to
be very convenient for examination and
repairs and arranging the lower eleva-
tor canvas. This can be done without
taking off the upper canvas, which is
fact of great Importance.

HORSE AND CATTLE HOw.-The
officers of the Grant County Agricultur.
al Society are untiring in their efforts
to promote the welfare of the agri-
culturists of our county. In addition
to the annual fair they have organized
horse and cattle show. and on Satur-
day, June 5, will throw open the fair
grounds for that purpose. This is done
to enable breeders of fine stock to get
together and give them an opportunity
to see the stations and colts and make
their selections for breeding. This also
pertains to breeders of cattle. The
grounds will be open all day and will
be free to all. Without question, this is
a move in the right direction. The
direct object is to enlist farmers in
raising higher and better grade of
stock and thoroughly educating them
as to the merits of the different grades.
No way is better calculated to do so
than gathering of this kind. We
bespeaks for the enterprise success, and
it is hoped that a genuine interest will
will be manifested by large attendance
and representation of the best stock
of the county.

AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT. - On
Wednesday of last week James Bates, q
horse dealer, whose home is at Prairie
du Chen, was on his way from Iowa
with two teams, each hitched to wagon,
and three single horses, which he had
purchased in that state. He drove one
of the teams and had boy with him
who drove the other. Toward night
while about to drive over the bridge that
crosses Cedar Greek near Gutenberg
Iowa, the severe storm of that day came
up and they thought they would drive
under the bridge and wait until the
storm was over. The storm continued
necessarily until after dark, the creek
steadily rising. They left the horses and
wagons there all night, as they supposed
safe, and sought shelter for themselves
in farm house. During the night the
river rose between four and five feet.
and the next morning the two teams and
one single horse were found drowned
and the wagons with their contents
sunk. In one of the wagons was q
trunk containing some of Mr.. Bates S
personal effects and eight dollars in cash.
When the accident occurred he was
on his way with the horses to William
Bakers place at Ellenboro, who is Mr..
Bates's brother-in-law.
