How to Destroy English sparrows.

There is the usual if not q greater
complaint about the English sparrow
and its destructiveness, this spring.
They not only eat the peas and other
garden products, but have been par
ticularly destructive on the blossoms
Of pear trees. Many in town and Mr..
Anthony near town, as we'll as other
farmers, have had their trees injured
from the depredations. The method
of getting rid of them has been
equally puzzle. A farmer tried to
get even with them by the use of pois-
oned wheat but he said they were too
smart for him; they would go up q
it, look at it and fly away. A towns
man was more successful, doubtless
from the fact that he used sugar as a
last thing in the preparation to neu-
tralize the bitter effect of the poison
the sparrows it is said, being particu'
larly fond of anything sweet. At any
rate they ate his and in few hour:
were scattered around dead. His re.
cipe in the preparation was about as
follows: pour a teacup full OF hot
water on ten cents worth Of strych.
nine in tin can or any receptacl;
and dissolve it. Then pour in about
a half pint of wheat and let it remain
about twenty-four hours by which time
the grains will have absorbed all the
liquid. Put in a spoonful of sugar
stir well and scatter where the bird!
frequent. The result will be found ii
dead birds. Rice will answer the
same purpose as wheat. Smyrna Times

THE members of the House of Rep
resentatives need little lecturing on
the subject of "Public Office is a
trust" We cannot see why body Of
men who are paid by the people for
the services they render should not be
as frugal and careful of their time as
a person employed by private indi-
vidual. The members of the House
are notorious for having Monday
blues and as a consequence there has
been very little or no work done on
that day.

There seems to be no limit to the
efforts of free trade attorneys to pref
udice farmer voters against the policy
of Protection for home industries, A
commonly employed means to this.end
is urging the farmer to believe that
our tariff legislation is framed with
the view to discriminate in favor d
manufactured products and against
the products Of agriculture Asthere
is not a single clause in the law sds
ceptible Of such a construction, none
but the unwary will be misled by the
charge Of discrimination against the
farmers interests.
