ON SAVING SEEDS.

Popular gardening fayors saving seeds Of
all choice plants we may grow. no matter
what the species. From such a course
springs the advantageous local varieties
that we have. AL seeds must be carefully
cured before storing, and even then should
not be closely packed into bags. Choose
bag considerably larger than one would
think would be needed for the amount of
seeds. Label it plainly with name Of the
flower so there need be no guesswork as to
its contents.
For seed bags take bleaehed muslin
Tear of strips from two to four inches
wide. With the narrowest hemmer on the
sewing machine hem them on one edge. Cut
the two-ineh strip into three-inch pieces,
the three-inch into four-inch pieces and the
four-inch into six-inch pieces. Sew
these into bags, leaving the hem outside.
Cut pieces Of Irvine such as druggists use
into three-inch or four-inch pieces, tie a
knot in each end, sow one fast by the mid
die to each bag near the top, and you are
then ready for the seeds As they are cleaned.

sLAUGHTERING OUR FRIENDS.

Field, Farm and Stockman says man him
self an animal, shows no mercy to animals
weaker than himself, as rule. He merci-
lessly keeps up an indiscriminate warfare
upon them. Such IS animal nature. For
pleasure he pursues the innocent bird over
hill and dale until they finally hang lifeless
by his side. 1t is sport now, but the
time will come, if this wholesale slaughter
of our game birds does not cease, when
stern reality will show US that we have
been striking the hands that befriended us
them untenable.
There are some destructive birds no
doubt, but tho kind usually sought by the
sportsman are those that feed mainly on
the seeds Of noxious weeds, and insects.
They may, PERHAPS even do some damage,
but if we could only see the good they per-
form, we would be appalled, at the magni-
tude of the work performed by the birds in
one day.
Many birds that used to be constantly
with US are scarcely seen now. and were it
not that some accidentally escaped, (for the
sportsman spares none), all would soon be
extinct. How they do escape to propagate
for the next years slaughter is a mystery.
1t would seem that providence must have
something to do with it, sure enough.
The gay life of the sportsman" has filed
our fields with insects that dared not visit
US IL time passed by. With the vigilance
of sentinel, ell day long the sportsman
too often farmer sportsman-watches,
gun in hand, to shoot down the innocent
birds, and attends the Farmers Alliance at
night to discuss insect preventives and
destroyers, provided all the time of the
meeting is not devoted to politics. The
hawk and the owl can pursue their calling
within sight of his door, and weasels and
minks can destroy the young of the birds,
but they are not fit for his sport.
In ages gone by, the earth was overrun
with hideous reptiles, and man to-day, as
by instinct, shrinks from their sight; but
the birds warred with the reptiles. Inch
by inch they fought theirway; the destruc-
ton was incessant for thousands of years,
until at last it was made habitable for man.
They are still fighting for him, and man
could not exist If the birds were extinct;
but in the face Of all this, we find whole
sale destruction in every quarter, and if it
is not stopped soon repentance will come
too late

THE AMERICAN ROBIN.

This bird is something of fruit robber
in regions where small fruits are raised, but
no matter. Here in Texas we are not doing
much in small fruits during the season
when the robin appears among US, therefore,
who could offer reasonable excuse for
having the robin exterminatedl Without
the aid of robins, insect enemies of fruits
would be much more abundant than they
are at present Let the robin alone, says
the Massachusetts Ploughman.
The robin don't honor US people Of Texas
in small-fruit times. He favors US with a
flying visit twice year-late in the fall he
passes US going South, early in spring he
passes us going North. But the little while
he stays with US he mas hard time OF it
every youngster who can muster a shotgun
or ''nigger shooter" is out trying to muir
der him for a carcass not much larger than

it is the best paper he ever took in his life
because it tells everybody everything they
want to know when they ask the agricul-
Lural editor about it. So to-day l send you
a monster to ask that you will tell US about
it. We never saw anything like il in Wis
consiu. We found it on our madeira vines

between US both we got it into an

find it, A lady has just told US that it is a
very dangerous insect; that it Spits in ones
eyes, and when that happens the eyes go
out. She called it by horrible name that
l am ashamed to write to you. But will
you please tell US all about it, l have read
what you say about scorpions, but as yet
have not seen a scorpion. | have married
sister up in Wisconsin, and am writing her
about everything down here in Texas, but
will wait to hear what you say about this
scarey thing before write to her about it.

We well know what horrible name the
lady called it by-she called lit q devils rid
ing horse" Its scientific name is Mantis
carolina. A good name to call it by is
simply ''mantis."
So common is this ''riding horse" name
that all readers will recognize the insect by
it, thus saving US the trouble of descrip-
ton.
Than this species no insect was ever so
widely misrepresented. 1t is entirely
harmless in every respect, and it is decid-
eddy useful to US on account of the fact that
it devours large quantities of flies and other
injurious insects. 1t eats nothing save in
sects of this character Don't think for
moment that thereis any kind of harm in
1t. You can take it in your hands, if you
like, and may make such pet of it that it
will sit on the window-sill all day long and
take flies from your fingers when you offer
them to it. 1t ought to be all the children's
pet instead of an object t. be feared.

TWO LITTLE BOTANISTS.

We are two little girls and each of us is
eight years Old. We are cousins. and our
names are Mary and Ellie. We have seen
in The GAZETTE where you talk kindly TO
little girls like US, SO we have concluded to
send you bouquet, and to ask You to tell
us something about it. The flowers, rs
you will see, are just alike, only some are
white and some are red. Some of the
neighbors call them monkey flowers, and
some call them periwinkle flowers. What

Thanks for the bouquet-it is very pretty
The plants arc now not much called by
either of the old names given-you will find
them described in all the flower catalogues
under the name of vinca.
There are two species Of vinca: Vinca
minor and Vinca major The specimens
sent are Vinca major, and this species has
been improved into several varieties, by
culture.
Vinca is much the incest name by which
to call it, we think. 1t is the Latin name.
Some Latin names OF plants are so hard as
to scarcely make them desirable for COM
mon use, but this one is not. The accent
is on the first syllable.
