again next fall about the low price. So
it has been for twenty years, and so, I'm
afraid, it will continue. The south side
of these mountains ought to produce
good tobacco, and, by packing it in hog
sets, they might find some way to get up
the hills, and it would find its way down
itself if they will turn it loose, In old
times tobacco was marketed by putting
shaves to hegsets, and it uster be thesay
ing that it took a good horse to outrun
one down hill. The revenue on tobacco
is great drawback to farmers. There
would be mighty little tobacco sold in
towns if it could be sold in natural leaf
from the farm. During the war we had
plenty of the 'stingy greeu," and if a
fellow gets used to chewing end smoking
it he don't want nothing else.
But the icicles are hanging on the tree
as 1 write, and there is sign in that
plenty of fruit and good crops. A sign
that never fails for good crops and good
fruit year is the hanging of icieles on
trees in February-remember I say Feb

When ycu see hawk swoop down and

run screaming after it trying to save her
baby don't you feel sorry for her, and
don't you run for the gun and shoot the
hawk? Well, that hawk is not half as
mean as the boy who robs birds nest.
The hawk is only trying to make an hon.
est living while the boy is doing some
thing he will be sorry for to the end Of
his days.
The following story I read in a book at
the Mary Willis library, and 1 give it
here from memory DR.. Townsend Glover,
great agriculturist, says, 81 never allow
bird to be shot on my place. came
to this conclusion by circumstance that
occurred l noticed q greyish looking
bird very busy around my beehives. He
was apparently picking up every strug-
Cling bee he could fnd. l was very
much enraged at this conduct, and went
for my gun. When I came back he was
sitting on the top of an synonymous
bush, and lost no time in bringing him
down. Out of malice and curiosity de.
termined to cut him open to see how
many of my bees he had destroyed. To
my utter astonishment found not sin
gle bee, but Instead great many moths
and stripped cucumber bugs. Here l
had killed the very bird that had been
working for me all summer. After COM
hitting this foul murder, I determined
that another bird should never be killed
on my place"
Now perhaps in week or two we will
have another talk on the subject of birds
for I have not said all I want to say yet.
