Swallows Help this Farmer.

Orchardists in this State to save their
fruit have to spray the trees three times
Or the fruit will be imperfect and not
saleable. In the town of Windham is a
farmer who has placeda shelf under the
caves of his barn. Last year there were
one hundred and tifty-seven nests; this
year about 200 of cave swallows. These
birds clear his orchard of caterpillars
and of the insects which other orchard
lists have to contend with by spraying.
He has no flies in his house, his sheep
are free from ticks, his corn is not troub-
led with worms, nor his grass molested
or potato bugs are not on his vines. His
only complaint is they do not stop long
enough. His orchard and shade trees
are the home of the birds. In winter he
feeds those that care to remain with him.
Those that care to see this colony of birds
and learn of the favors which he receives
from them may visit the farm of Stephen
Mayberry, one mile distant from Wind
ham Hill If other farmers would kind
ly put up fixtures that the birds might
build their nests we should not hear so
much about damage from insects. rs.
P. Mayberry, in Portland Argus.

Louisville, KY, who was putting up what
he called CDR Hoods Sarsaparilla" After
a hearing in the U. S. Circuit Court at
a temporary injunction in favor of c. |.

any preparation of SarSaparilla.
Messrs c. |. Hood X Co. also began suit
against a retail druggist in indianapolis,

Hoods Sarsaparilla. DR.. J. c. Hood en-
ployed counsel and made defence, out
Judge Baker of the L. S. Circuit Court
granted an injunction which on April % be-

These two DEGREES establish the exclusive
right of {. Hood & Co.to the word Hoods
and decide in effect that no other person can
put up Hoods Sarsaparilla even if his
name is Hood, nor can any retail druggist
the name Hood or Hoods other than that
prepared by C. l. Hood 4 Co.
These decisions will be gratifying to every

an attempt is made to steal or infringe upon
business which has been established by
great skill, labor and expenditure, justice

New Style Of Charter.

Coal shippers and vessel brokers are
interested i'll new form of cOaStWise
coal charter, adopted recently by the Yes
sci Owners and Captains National As
ISOLATION of Boston. The form of char
ter for coal vessels which has been in
common usage for long time provides
fortheir loading in turn, without allow
ance for lay days. During the past
month, however, owing to the scarcity of
coal and the long detention on that ac-
count, the owners of sailing vessels have
been secured from loss through delay in
getting cargoes by a special demurrage
clause. This has allowed a delay of six
to eight days for loading. the vessel to
receive scents a ton day for detention
beyond this time while waiting for car
go. The new charter demands that
steamers and barges take their turns in
loading with schooners.
