Birds in Waldo County.

Maine Board of Agriculture Bulletin.
BRooKs-I do not think there is any
kind of birds that does any harm to the
farmer or his crops except the crow.
If the number of crows could be re-
duced bv any means it would be good
thing .Or the corn raisers of this county.
The hawk is of no use to the farmer,
and he is a nuisance to the poultry
raiser. AS to the destruction Of birds,
do not think it would be best to allow
them to be killed in any way, as | think
they destroy great many insects that
damage the crops. | should be glad if

would, in this line, and the subject
might be talked up in grange meetings

our earnest solicitation, consented to deliver
a memorial address here May 30 1900; and
Whereas, To our great titication, his
address gave universal satisfaction; and
Whereas, In addition to travelling 1000
miles at his own expense, to convey to us
the generous sentiments he expressed, he
presented a most beautiful floral design tied
with bows of red and white ribbon, on
which were the Inscriptions on the red:
''kentucky to Maine y on the white: Gray
butes to our brave dead therefore,
Resolved. that our services this year,
though simple, were the most impressive we
ever held, largely due to the national char
acter given them by the fact of having an
eX-Confederate for orator, the beautiful SEN
timentS contained in his Grafton and the
floral tribute he presented.
Resolved, That thanks are due our speak
er for his liberalities to us, the sentiment he
left with us, and the fellowship established
between us, believing, as we do, that it will
be conducive to the perpetuity of fraternal
between the North and the South.
Resolved, That the resolutions be inscrb-
ed on a page of our records, and a copy
transmitted to Col. Harry Weissinger.

Happy in the thought that | have done
something to promote good feeling between
the old soldiers of the North and South, l
shall ever regard my visit to Searsport, and
the reception l met, as one of the proud
spots in my life.
With the greatest consideration for the
committee and the highest regards for every
member of McGilvery post, / remain, gen.
