Crin,son Clover.

Crimson clover has attracted great at
tention in the soath during the past three
or four years, but its true merits are still
in doubt. So far it has not given a good
crop at this station, though it is valued
highly at the Carolina station, and at
the Florida station has given one i'm
mense crop followed by two failures.
Under favorable circumstances it makes
q very vigorous winter growth and af-
fords good grazing or soiling, but in
many cases only a scattering stand is
secured and the plants are weak and
sicklv. We cannot recommend it for
cultivation in this state until we know
more of its needs and value as restoT-

There are many ways Of preserving
milk 50 az to keep it sweet, but one Of
the most satisfactory is that which is at
present practiced at an establishment IN
Texas. The milk, fresh from the COW,
is subjected to boiling heat, and after
the air has been expelled from it the
cans are Theoretically sealed. When the
process was first invented, about fifteen
years ago, several dozen bottles were
sealed up. Every year some Of these are
opened, and after fifteen years keeping
the milk has in every case been found

Honey is a natural secretion Of the
flowers ana n0t y psoduciioii Ut bees
Bees gather but in no sense nanufac-
ture it. Honeycomb, Oh the other hand,
is a secretion of the bee. Honey is cat
en-, digested md elaborated in the body
Of the bee into Chin scales Of wax, like
fine wheat bran, which exudes from be-
tween tho ringlets of the bees abdomen
These scales are taken up in the smooth,
blunt forceps of the bees and put to-
gether like the plates Of a steam boiler
not, however, with redhot rivets, but
the bees being always in clusters when
they construct comb, the wax scales,
from the heat Of the cluster, being soft
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 a vessel whose capacity will not al
low a sufficient number to cluster i'll it
to produce enough heat to soften the
scales of wax. This is an indispensable
condition in 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 for
the 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 afterward
called Scientific Pleasantly. Mistaking
the import Of the article, editors Of other
publications understood it as 4 veritable

A PLEA FoR TIE BIRDS.
Their Usefulness in Destroying Injuri-
ous Insects.

Gus lHSeCtSs
In an essay read before the Massa-
chusetts horticultural society by Nr
Thomas G. Thurlow, it was stated that
the usefulness Of birds in destroying in
sects il 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 OF chrysalid state,
and still others as they appear i'll 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 a little fruit or
grain as 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 az.
Other native birds are commonly
classed as game birds, and although it Is
positively stated by ornithologists 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 if the birds had all been per-
mitted to live there would have been no
damage done by insects, but it must to
admitted that when the primeval forests
protected thousands Of birds which SOW
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
teTially 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, lie did not re-
gret 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 wilIl1ill
small birds: therefore k@p them at
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 p discussion Of the essay varying
opinions We're expressed by members as
to crows, hawks and owls, but no one
spoke favorably Of the English sparrow.

Try this mixture for the complex
ion: Take a wineglassful of best
