Mirrors Scare Birds,

According 10 the Washington Star Il
postotfice official who has been in the
Philippines says he learned there II
new method of keeping birds out of
fruit trees. which he described as fol-
lows:
1T Is simple, inexpensive and, as
far as l could observe. practical. 1t
consists in hanging small mirror on
the top limbs of the tree. There
should be at least six inches of string
to the mirror, so that it can swing
about as 1t is blown by the wind. The
flash Of the mirror. 1t appears. scares
the birds away. One or two 5-cent
mirrors hung on tree Is sufficient,
though, of course. three or four would
be that much better. l was told that
this method had worked in the Phil
ippines successfully for many years,
and that the birds do not grow famil-
lar with it as they do with scare
crow. Since my return here l find
that the mirror scare is not unknown
here. and that it has been in nse by
Michigan fruit growers for many
years. have tried it myself in a

Death Of Calvin Brown.

In the death OF Mr.. Calvin Brown at
East Barnet on last Christmas day, the
town of Waterford loses one OF its old
est native born sons. Mr.. Brown was
born Aug. S, 1910. on the original Dan
iel Brown farm, now owned by Royal
Ross, and was the youngest of seven
children, all OF which are now dead.
Mr.. Brown is now survived by but one
individual ol1er than be, doing business
in Watero d, Fred A. Cross who is in
his 95th year and the head of his family.
Through the life OF Mr.. Brown, until
within the last few years, he has been
one of the active men of his town and in
this part of Vermont, having not only
owned and operated large farm, but
been large dealer in cattle and sheep
for the Boston markets. His purchases
of stock extended into Canada as well.
He will be remembered as in this bust.
ness with the Hastings, both Lambert
and Bella, and before the age of car trans
portation, when cattle, sheep and swine
were driven on the hoof to market. This
alone was not all the benefit that came
to this section of the state through him.
AS early as in the ffties he imported
from Kentucky a strain OF Shorthorns
that are largely responsible for the Justly
celebrated Durham stock of Caledonia
county. March A. 1885, he married
Miss Susan E. Miles, a Waterford lady,
and he was soon the owner of her
fathers homestead as well, which, with
other adjoining lands he cultivated un-
til sold to William Nd. Hovey. After this
sale he resided for nearly two years at
Lower Waterford village; then purchased
the farm which L. D. Freeman now occu-
pies. About seven years ago he NOV d
his home to East Barnet to live with his
son, B. M. Brown. Of his nine children,
four survive him, three sons and a daugh-
ter. 1t was with B. M. Brown that
he spent his last years, and from whom
he received that fiIial care only a son and
sons wife can give. The other chill
dren are Charles Brown, in the employ
of Swift Bros. in Brooklyn, N. Y. Abner
NJ Brown in New York city, and the
daug liter, Mrs. Dianther Freeman of
Waterford. Five have died, though
widely separated, Mrs ]. S. Frye in Spo-
kane, WASH. July Is, 1896; Dan M.
Brown in Boston, April 80, 1898; Fuse
bus H. in Boston, Sept IA, 1896; Cal
vim Ellsworth Brown in Waterford, April
10, 1876, and one in infancy.
The last FIVE years of Mr.. Browns life
were spent in almost total darkness, in
more than three Of which, it was pleas
ure to sit and listen to his recital OF the
stirring incidents of his busy life. His
mind was clear and bright, memory serv-
ing him well, but age and inhrmity
clouded the brain once so active, making
unceasing care necessary during the last
months Of his life. His decline was much
more rapid alter the death of his wife,
which occurred Jan. 3, 1895.
