A PEA FOB The BIRDS.
Their Usefulness in Destroying InJu

Their Usefulness in Destroying InJuri-
Gus Insects.
In an essay read before the Massa-
chusetts horticultural society by Mr..
Thomas G. Thurlow, IL was stated that
the usefulness Of birds in destroying in.
sects is established beyond doubt.
Many of our birds during the spring
months live entirely on insects. Moths
and millers are captured on the wing.
others in the larva or chrysalid state,
and still others as they appear in early
morning as worms, grubs, borers, etc.
Those birds classed as perchers or climb
ers are all insect eating birds, but may
later in the season take little fruit or
grain as q dessert. Those classed as
robbers, including owls and hawks, sub
sist partly on insects and reptiles, but
the damage done in killing other useful
birds is probably greater than all the
good they do.
1 Other native birds are commonly
classed as game birds, and although it is
positively stated by ornithoIogists that
many of these birds subsist largely on
insects, still the laws are against them,
and they are protected for certain months
in order that sportsmen may have the
pleasure of killing them during the re-
mainder of the year.
With the disappearance of the marsh
birds, once plenty on our coasts, the
grasshoppers have increased as the birds
have decreased. The essayist would not
say that II the birds had all been per-
mitted to live there would have been no
damage done by insects, but it must be
admitted that when the primeval forests
protected thousands of birds which now
have no such protection, nature pre-
served the balance of power, and birds
and insects must have lived together for
generations without either gaining ma
terially on the other. Since that time
no new species Of insects have been
created, though some have been import
ed, but through various causes the bal.
ance of power has been turned in favor
Of the insects, till today they are the
terror Of all agriculturists.
OF the English sparrows Mr.. Thurlow
could say nothing from experience, as
they did not visit his place, but, with
his present convictions, he did not re-
greet their absence. Some evidence was
read from others, showing that the
robin is almost insectivorous and that
the prejudice against this bird is unjust
and unfounded. The common crow, in
his opinion, does more damage by de-
stroying the eggs and young of other
birds than he does good in devouring a
few insects. Owls and hawks will kill
small birds; therefore keep them at a
distance.
( The slaughter of birds to ornament
ladies hats and dresses was severely
deprecated. The noble example of the
Princess of Wales in refusing to inspect
anything in which birds are used as
trimming was highly praised.
/ In discussion of the essay varying
opinions were expressed by members as
to crows, hawks and owls, but no one
spoke favorably Of the English sparrow.

Honey is q natural secretion of the
flowers and not production OF bees
Bees gather but in no sense manufac
ture it. Honeycomb, on the other hand
is a secretion of the bee. Honey is eat
en-, digested and elaborated in the bod,
of the bee into thin scales of wax, lilt,
fine wheat bran, which exudes from be
tween the ringlets of the bees abdomen
These scales are taken up in the smooth
blunt forceps of the bees and put to
gother like the plates of steam boiler
not, however, with redhot rivets, bu
the bees being always in clusters wher
they construct comb, the wax scales
from the heat of the cluster, being sofi
and plant, are welded together SO com
pletely that the seams are invisible
This they do in the dark, without gas
electric or sun light. Bees will not en-
ter vessel whose capacity will not al
low sufficient number to cluster in
to produce enough heat to soften tn,
scales of wax. This is an Indispensable
condition i'll the construction of comb
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Farm Journal, who makes the forego
ing explanation, adds the following:
| There is no such thing AS artificial
comb prepared mechanically ready TO
tho reception of honey. Such a state
ment was published in The Popular Sci
ence Monthly some years ago by Profess
or II. w. Wiley, in what he afterwar,
called Scientific Pleasantly. Mistakinl
the import of the article, editors of othe
publications understood it as veritabl
attainmenS of fact, and it went tn
rounds of the press as such. Although
Professor Wiley has stated over his owl
signature that it was only a joke, We
thousands still believeit. AS Biddy is nee
essary for the production of eggs, SO tn
bee is Indispensable for the production 0
honey and the honeycomb. All that ha
ever been done by machinery has bee

BIankets. Dinner Kettles. Tia Cans.
We reckon there are many who still
,recollect Senator Grays stersotyped
speech OF two years ago, the principa
topics OF which were the poor mani
blanket and dinner pail. Well do W,
recolfect how the bosoms of the sym
pathetic Democracy heaved and al
times the unbidden tear started as th'
Senator pictured the poor man and
his family without blankets in winter
to keep them warm and without the
means with which to purchase an
other dinner kettle when the old one
was worn out. all because that mi.
,quitous Mckinley tariff would raise
the prices.
We believe the Senator actually
thought he was telling gospel truth
when he sawed the frosty air with lis
arms and made the welkin ring witt
his stentorlRn voice as In his imagina
ton he saw shIvering families craw
beneath tattered blankets and the
poor man pine away with hunger fol
want OF a dinner kettle in which tx
carry his victuals with him to work.
The blanket part of Mr.. Gray's speech
Exploded soon after the Mckinley bill
went into operation, when the price'
of cheap blankets dropped from S2.5'
and s2.25 pair down to 81. 90 and 81. Ok
a pair and far better blankets at that.
II took little longer to solve thu
tin dinner kettle part of 1t, but Will,
there was for some time no actua
fall in the prices there was no rise
Dinner kettles can now be bought fol
LEGS money than WAS ever paid fol
them before, and the quality Of thu
tin-kette has been much improved
For nearly about the same money yot
can now get double decker dinner kct
( tie with several stories o them one 70
soup, one for meat, ono for potatoe
and other vegetables, one for dessert
and one for either coffee or milk. Real
~ tile working man carries better din
ner pals and he lives better than be
fore. and the kettle costs no more thar
the PLAIN big kettle OF two years il
which everything was dumped to
gether.
1 Another thing that troubled Mr.
Gray at that time, and the subject wa
often d!lated upon by the Every Even
ing, was that the iniquitous Mckinley
bill Increased the prices of CANNED
fruit aud Vegetables, becalso 1t in
creased the pr.gc OF tin cans. aud the
poor canned trait eaters would have
to pay more money or eat less fruit
