II have been feeling around for in

John Bennett have agreed to furnish a
large number for millinery purposes.
They tell me the parties want crows,

FARMERS PRODUCE ASSOCIATION.

A New Castle County Organization Re-
Gently Formed = Merritt N. Willitts IN
President.
The Farmers Produce Association Of
New Castle County has beop organized
with Merritt N. Willitts as president,
and Fred Brad-, secretary. Among the
directors are Dan NJ. Cochran. James
L. Shailcross and Richard L. Naudain.
The association already has 80 or 60
members. Its object is to obtain more
remunerative prices for fruit, vegeta.
bles and other produce OF the farm by
every Legitimate means. The annual
meeting will be held the first Tuesday
in March and the monthly meetings
will be held the first Tuesday in each
month. The annual membership fee
is 81.
The programme of the organization
for the present year is thus set forth:
First--To encourage cash buyers at
all our railroad stations by selling
whenever offered fair cash price, and
by shipping to none but our own COM
mission merchants when prices offered
are not acceptable.
Second 10 try and secure from
transportation companies more satisfac-
tory service, and more acceptable rates
for shipment of our members.
Thifd-To secure one or more reliable
commission merchants in each city to
which we wish to ship, who will re-
ceive all the consignments of our mem-
bers SO long as their transactions are
satisfactory to us.
We shall have a shipping agent at
each railroad station, who will receive
quotations by telegraph from our com
mission merchants. and hold them for
the exclusive use of our members. The
commission merchants keep per cent
of gross sales for their services, and
remit per cent weekly to our shipping
agents, one-half of which he pays to
tho association.
The association has adopted trade
mark, which will appear on all shiE-
ments by our members. This trade
mark will he in the form of stickers
which will be placed on every package.
The trade marks used by each MEM
Der will bear his number, so that the
commission merchant can properly
creaiG shipments, aud trace dishonest
packing If any occur. The trade mark
will state that the contents of the pack
age are guaranteed as good all through
as on top.
In addition to the membership fee,
each member is to pay l1a per cent on
| all consignments.
1t is expected also to CO. operate to
| some extent with similar organizations
in other States.
The use of the trade mark will be
beneficial, it is claimed, to buyers.
commission merchants, consumers and
| to the farmers.

BEAUTTFUL FRIENDS.


We should miss them, sadly miss them,
The beautiful birds of spring,
That came with tinted plumage
Their songs of Joy to sing,
Oh save them for us, gunners-
The birds with the golden wing.
l watched them mating OH the Dough
Of leafy maple tree;
Two red breast creatures singing sweet,
And us happy as could be;
And somehow ! was better
When the robins came to me!
The meadow lark with speckled breast
Sailed the sweet morning air
AS graceful as a ship at sea,
And a song of Heavenly care;
And lesson of trust then came to me
From the meadow lark, so fair.
A little fluffy feathered hall
In Quaker dress there came;
He twitted sweetly near the wall,
And seemed so very tame.
l said, "You darling little bird,
And Wren must be your name."
Up in u blossomed apple tree
A bird in royal dress
Came yearly, surely back to me,
My humble home to bless;
The flicker is pretty bird
To drive away distress,
They come in hocks. with melody,
The very air was song;
The red-wing black birds from the South
Brought sweetest notes along;
And love them. and you do, too, ....
To us the birds belong.
Twelve thousand ~ MOI It cannot be,
We will not have it so;
We love the innocents too well
TO ever let them go:
To those who rob us of the birds,
We simply answer, mol"
oh vanity. oh cruel pride.
Bird.murderers please relent;
Don't have them killed; the pretty birds,
BY Heaven to us are sent,
To cheerAnd bless the race of men.
Repent! Repent Repentl
We should miss them. sadly miss them,
The beautiful birds of spring.
That came with tinted plumage,
Their madrigals to sing,
Oh beautiful bird, love You,
The bird with the golden wing.
