More about Birds and Worms.
Keepe, N. H., March %, 1889

Editor Bellows Falls TINES:
Your correspondent IN yesterdays issue
hits the nail .quarely on the head in the
remarks on the tent caterpillar pest. Even
if some special means should be devised
for the tempo airy abatement OF the scourge,
it, or another equally severe, would soon
again make its appearance. The harm
done by the wanton destruction of the
birds by one class of citizens and the
apathy. of the remainder regarding their
preservation and protection is almost meal
culable And the general public is only
Just beginning to awaken to the facts.
g The mills" OF Nature (ike those of Cod
l." grind slowly" yet "they grind exceeding
small" By mighty races, sometimes SEEM
ingly inert, Nature in few scores OF years
brings about the most radical changes
albeit the processes OF evolution are hardly
perceptible.
And this matter of the birds is far
broader one, even in the purely economical
bearing (barring the aesthetic and senti-
mental side) than your correspondent has
even limited. Nothing is OF more vital
importance to the farmer and the horticul-
turist than the preservation OF the birds.
The much remarked increase in recent
wears of the farmers deadlest foes, the
insect pests is traceable in large measure,
and probably almost wholly, to the diminu-
ton in the eathered tribes. And yet there
are farmers on farmers who, instead of
willingly sharing few cherries and straw
berries with their little co-workers, either
wage on them wanton war of destruction,
or (which is almost equally pernicious)
take every means to drive them away from
their orchards and farms.
Probably no bird is to be found, in this
sectlon, at least, whose presence is not far
more of blessing to the agriculturist than
otherwise. Any harm it can possibly in
flict is far more than counterbalanced by
the good it accomplishes. And even the
much maligned crow is of inestimable util-
ity on the farm and does very little real
harm.
Instead of waging war on the birds, the
farmers should combine with the town
lovers of the woodland minstrelsy" in
unremitting war against their destroyers.
Small boys, pot hunters and sportsmen
without conscience and all the ilk should
be withheld by the strong hand of the law
and active measures should be taken fol-
the protection and propagation OF the
birds. Much can be done by instruction
in the homes and in the public schools,
mu, b by actual field illustration aud obser'
vation, and much by the erection of bird
houses and other simple measures.
Then, too, there is the League of Amer

portunities than he, because there are so
few women who are trying to become rich.
The only reason that we hear of so COM
paratively few very rich women Is that there
is not enough self-con6dence among the
members of the so-called weaker sex.
They are dominated too much by absurd
tradition. Let brother and sister of
equal mental ability start out at the same
time with the determination of becoming
wealthy, and the sister will outstrip the
brother in ten years if she has made up her
mind to realization of the fact that she is
just as independent mentally as her
brother

There is no denying the serious
fact that there is a great amount of
from the Strip; that over
worked men and women now suffer
more than at any other time of the
year from lassitude, headaches, slight
chills and fever and other symptoms
of imperfect health; that people fall
sick more readily now than at any

ever an epidemic does appear it in

are run down and out of condition.

AFTER GRIP.

But it is, first, the result OF the
lif elong study of the greatest ply
stefan America has produced, man
whose reputation was worldwide
years before he had ever arrived at
this formula which has done so much
good; a man who has received the
highest degrees from the best colleges,
who was at the time of his discovery
a professor at Dartmouth and lect-
urer in other universities, scholar,
a member of a family which has
made its mark in every department
of public life in America. 1t is
remedy the formula of which has
been furnished to physicians in good
standing always, and which physi-
clans were prescribing long before
the present manufacturers put it up
for public distribution; it was dis
covered by Prot. Edward E. Phelps,
M. D., Ii. D., and was first pre-
scribed with wonderful success by
that eminent group of practitioners
who have made American physicians
known the world over, and Of whom
he was then, as now, undoubtedly
the most famous.
The best test that can be applied
. to Paine's celery compound is to use
it.
If one is "run down." feels with
5 out energy, liteless, useless, fretful,
! take this great remedy, and note the
a change. Consti patton will no longer
give one a disquieting thought; the
S appetite will come back; sleepless-
: ness and headaches will be things of
|. the past. Thus is the experience OF
l. men and women in every part OF the
IS country.
General good health depends upon
e the perfect action of the nervous cur
o rents, the vigor of the circulation and
1t the quality of the blood.

A New Tax Law.

The recent legislature passed new
tax law, which is causing considerable
discussion among those interested.
The law effects delinquent tax claims,
but there is a question as to just how
far il effects them. The new law,
which goes into effect when tue ses
sion laws are issued is May, totally
alters the procedure in disposing Of
delinquent lands. Under its provisions
the county attorney brings an action
in the district court, something in the
nature of a foreclosure suit, and the
lands are sold at sheriff's sale for the
amount Of judgment and costs. Should
the amount bid be less, the county
clerk bids the land in for the county.
The treasurer is required to offer all
lands owned by the county for sale on
the first Mondays of June and Decem.
Der OF each ard every year, and at the
first offering the lands so offered must
bring an amount not less than the
judgment, including costs, and 6 per
cent interest, or be withdrawn from
sale. At the secnud treasurer's sale
they are sold to the highest bidder.
