THE DAY OF BIRos.
A Proposed Holiday aud the Objects
Thereof.

EOSSN>
Thereof.
From the Baltimore Sun
The establishment of q holiday to
be known as bird day" is favored
by Mr.. Morton, Secretary of Agricul-
ture, whose name is associated with
the observance of Arbor Day. In
reply tC letter on the subject from
the superintendent of schools at Oil
City, Pa, the Secretary says: at is
a melancholy fact that among the
enemies of our birds two of the most
destructive and relentless are our
women and our boys. The love of
feather ornamentatlon so thought
lessly persisted in by thousands of
women, and the mania for collecting
eggs and killing birds, so deeply
rooted in our boys, are legacies of
barbarism inherited from our savage
ancestry. l believe that a public
sentiment can be developed SO strong
and SO universal, that a respectable
woman will be ashamed to be seen
with the wing of a bird on her bon
net, and an honest boy will be
ashamed to own that he ever robbed
a nest or wantonly took the life of a
LII l0 oSudDiiSfl1ucLU OF 'OlrQ
day." he thinks, would have whole
some moral effect and tend to "re
place the barbaric impulses inherent
in human nature by the nebler i'm
pulses and aspirations that should
characterize advanced civilization"
Apart from sentimental considera-
tions, the iadiscriminate slaughter
of birds should be stopped because
of the injurious results to agricul-
ture. Many species of birds. perhaps
most, are invaluable to farmers as
destroyers of insects and worms that
prey upon the crops. They do far
more good than harm, and the cruel
and foolish warfare that has been
waged against them probably ac-
counts for the increase in insect pests
in many sections. The establish
ment of bird day and the study of
the habits and character of the
various bird families would produce
an itelligent appreciation of this
fact and would euable farmers to
distinguished between their feathered
friends and foes. "Bird day. is a
good idea, and it is to be hoped that
it may be added to the list of our
useful holidays.

WIDE TIRES TESTIMONY.
Their Superiority Over the Marrow
misunderstanding of a Farmer.

Shown-Observatfon of a Farmer,
Cor. Breeders Gazette
wish to give my observation and
experience. l have lot of teams to
look after, and we have on the farm
but two narrow tired wagons. In
the spring of 1891 when hauling
manure the wagon with B inch tires
and the one with l y inch both went
to the field together, the loads being
equal. When in the field, the broad
tired drove in and unloaded; the
narrow stuck. Four horses were put
to it to get it to a place TO unload.
Tho condition of the field was the
same, broad tires on top of the
ground, narrow tires in ground
about eight inches.
In addition to the farm | also own
the largest sawmill plant in south
eastern Indiana and now use wide
tires on all wagons, none being less
than ~ inches. The common dirt
roads CLAY have no stone on them
in this country, and roads that are
used by common farmers are cut to
pieces-all rut and mud-while the
roads used by the log wagons are
solid and fit tor drive over at all
times
In the spring of 1892 we had
couple of mule teams to help pillow a
wet piece of ground. l was in the
field when they struck it. The mules,
which weighed near to $50 pounds
each, mired to their knees and were
unhitched to get them out. Then |
ordered one of our heavy draft teams
to try to pillow where mules could
not, and they completed the job in
a good manner. They weighed
1,79O and 1910 each. From my
observation and actual experience,
having under my charge more horses
and wagons than three or four farm
ers in this section of Indiana, ! am
led to believe that the wide tire is the
roadmaker and the narrow tire the
road breaker and horse killer. Where
| cannot go with wagon with tires
AZ inches wide and team of Clydes
| weighing from 1 500 to 1 ,SOOpounds
each no man with narrow tires dare
go with the same load, no difference
what his team may be.
Give us wide tires and compel farm
ers to use them and we will have bet
ter roads than we ever have had and
save our horses also.

Where the Farmer Loses.

Nearly every where on the Ameri-
can continentgood roads are absent,
and the farmer pays dearly for it,.
He loses in the unnecessary time he
spends in reaching the market, time
which he might put in with profit on
his farm, in being often unable to
reach the market at the critical time
when prices are best, in wear and
tear of horses and wagons, in the
comparatively small loads which he
can haul and in the social depriva-
ton which is O result of the lack OF
easy travel.

State Democratic Policy.
Iorl HowelI of Atlanta


1t is the discussion of the proper
policy to pursue at their respective
State conventions as regards the
administration that is now most
engaging the attention of the Demo
Gratis of the South. On the one side
is the administration, and on the
other the Representatives in Con-
gress who have done their duty and
honestly defended the sentiment of
their people. To unreservedly in
dorse the former is to condemn the
latter. The Democrats of the South
will not do it, and it will be found,
when all of the States have acted,
that not one of them will be on
record as indorsing the Presidents

the currency pledge of the platform.

CHAPTER ]

by the time when the town of Mil
ledgeville was laid off and made the
capital of the state was what in that
period people called rich man. When
he became old he was induced by his
elder son, Wiley, who had done re-
markedly well in business and married
quite beyond expectations, to leave
the big plantation on the river bottom
to the management of an overseer and
build or occupy a house not very
far from his own on Clarke street.
His wife, accustomed to be dragged
whithersoever and made to do what
ever he would, offered no useless re-
sistance, and, what time she lasted,
managed as well as could have been
expected. 1t troubled her good deal
to see how proud the father became of
Wiley and his wife compared with his
shame for Cullen the younger and his
wife. Not that she did not grow to
love, and that very much, Wiley's wife,
Julia, of the excellent and rather
aristocratic family, the Marstons, of
Putnam, whose department towards
and whose words about his people
were much less apologize than her
husbands. But something, nobody
knew exactly what, caused the elder
woman's health to decline after they
moved into town. Some said it was
Just natural old age, which nobody
in this world has yet been found able,
in the long run, to cope with. Some
said it was the breaking up too late in
life of long-settled habits and vainly
attempting to get into new. Yet
others ventured the opinion that it
was because from Cullen, who during
childhood had seemed to be rather the
favorite with his father, the latter had
become estranged, owing to his mar
riage with Hannah Enlow. Anyhow,
when they had been in town about a
year she fell into her last sickness.
They said that towards the last she
talked to her husband with unwonted
freedom about some things that were
on her mind and got from him some
promises which helped her to meet
death without very much complaint
They put her in the very incest town
coffin, and both husband and son
Wiley were proud even to boasting of
the spot In the cemetery chosen for
her grave.
From child Wiley had been a
thoughtful person. At ten years of
age, when Cullen was born, he reflect
