Weed Destroying Bnds.

In Science DIR. Judd, of the depart
ment Of agriculture, states that no less
than so different species Of birds are
engaged as weed destroyers, and there
are more than go species of weeds which
they help to eradicate. The blackbirdS
the bobolink, the dove and the English
sparrow do much good in this way, but
the English sparrow, in spite of the
services it renders in consuming weed
seed, is q pest because of its despoil-
ing buildings. and because of its ex-
tensive pillaging Of fruit and grain.
The native sparrows, on the contrary,
have no such noxious habits, and are
much more efficient as weed seed de-
stroyers." Goldfinches destroy weeds
which are not touched by other birds,
the thistle, ragweed and dandelion be-
ing their favorites. "a million weeds
can spring up on single acre" Guilt
walton can do much to eradicate these
noXious plants, but probably the most
efficient check on their unbounded in
crease is to be found in the seed-eating
birdS.N

A novelty in summer schools Is Of
fered in Missouri this year. The state
university has given instructions along
the lines familiar in such schools during
the vacation season for a good while
past. and il now adds new courses, in
horticulture and agriculture. Pres
ident Jesse holds that some attention
should be given in the public schools of
an agricultural state to studies of soil,
climate, birds, insects and plant life;
and he points out that the fields, forests
and highways in the country and the
lawns and public squares in the cities
and towns furnish all the laboratory
facilities which are needed for such
studies.

In an article in the Year Book of the
department of agriculture Mr.. Barnes,
of the division of statistics, advocates
the keeping of goats in many parts of
the states. He states that whenever
foul land is regularly pastured by
goats it becomes cleared of weeds and
bushes, and most evenly fertilized runs
into nutritious native grass. "Practc-
ally all the goatskins entering into the
commerce and manufactures of the
United States are imported. With the
exception of that portion of the popula-
ton upon territory derived from Spain
and Mexico, the people of this country
have not usually evinced any interest
in goat-herding for profit, either Of
skins or other products" He shows
that Angora goats have done well on
farms in Massachusetts, Connecticut
and Illinois. There are 100000 goats in
the United States, 25s,OOO in the West
Indies (where goat mutton is extern
sively used), 10000 in England, and
4,5OO, 900 in Spain.

There is a current opinion that ivy
has tendency to rot the thing to which
it clngs. This is true of large num-
ber Of other climbing plants, but not
of ivy, for it renders the walls of al
most every house to which it clings en-
tirely free from damp, extracting every
particle of moisture from wood, brick
or stone for its own sustenance. This
it does by means of its tiny roots, which
can work their way even into the hard
est stone. When the walls are well
covered with ivy the overlapping leaves
will conduct water falling upon them
from point TO point until the ground is
reached, without allowing the walls to
receive any moisture whatever from
the beating rain. If there should be
an exceptional case of Uncovered walls
showing signs of dampness, that will
be found to arise from their having
been erected on a wet and improperly
drained site.

The state entomolocist of New Jcr-

gives sharper sting than mosquito,
it is less harmful in its effect. Such an
opinion, coming from the highest au-

mosquito, ought to be conclusive.

AUGUSTA LOCALS.
FIRST REHEARSAL. NskT WEEK.
Au. usta Festival Chorus Planning The Work
Preparatory Tor TIE Festival.

The rehearsals for the festival will
he again commenced, next Tuesday. by
the Augusta Festival Chorus, after /
vacation of several weeks through the
hot weather. Mr.. Arthur Hyde Of
Bath. will again be the director. and
there will be a full attendance with
out doubt. The rehearsals will be
Tuesday evenings, the same as last
season.
They will be held every week, and
the books will be "Chapman's Festival
Book" and the Messiah" The chorus
was making good Roadway under Mr.
Hyde before the vacation. and the
same excellent work will be continued
as soon as all the members return
from their vacations.
The chorus is in good financial
standing. and need not feel handi-
capped in anything it may wish to do.
Last season, they gave concert at
Togus, and with the proceeds of this
concert and that of the Maconda con-
cert there is a good substantial bal
ance in the treasury. 1t will be en-
deavored to repeat the concert at To-
gus this season, and possibly after
wards repeat it in this city.
The organization of the chorus will
undoubtedly be maintained after the
festival, for the musical people of this
city do not feel as though they should
give it up. They enjoy the rehearsals
and the festivals are productive of
much good in their musical life.
