DAY WE CELEBRATE.
Marshal j. b. Tsrne Suggests Some
Features for the Celebra ton.


To the Public-Now that suf-
ficient funds have been raise d to
put the celebration of the Fourth
OF July by Vinita beyond perad
venture, permit me to say that as
matter course, everybody 10 in

and the entire entertainment Of
the day and help make " a success
All the various interests of the
town should turn out and will be
expected to do SO. 1t seems to be
the consensus Of opinion that the
display should take the shape Of
a merchants parade" With floats.
Tne mayor and city council should
turn out in carriages with the in
vited speakers as their guests. OF
course the veterans will be there,
and, | suggest, form III columns Of
four, without regard TO past afilli-
alton liz case tie Stand Waite
reunion ii called it is needless to
say that those men will BIO our
guests on that day and should be
shown every consideration and In
vited TO the homes of our people.
| A brigade Of at least fifty bicycles
should be formed, properly decor
ated, and appear in columns Of
four. A very pleasing and unex-
pected feature OF previous par
ade, was large number Of little

trust Professor Digger, assisted by
Mr.. Clotworthy, will get together
some hundred of the public school
children and drill them in singing
several patriotic airs to intersperse
the proposed program. | would
also be pleased to assign them a
place in tbs parade, if desired.
These are only intended as few
suggestions, more will likely be
made later on. Many influences
are at work to make i, great day
for Vinita, but nothing can be
done without the untiring effort OF
our entire people. Let us get to
work.

Weevil in Grain.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
WeeVil in corn may be largely
avoided by storing it in the husk, but
this may not be desirable and with
other grains this suggestion is of no
effect. To treat grain after it has
become infested it must be placed in
a tight or reasonably tight bin or box
and treated with carbon bi-sulphide.
This is a very foul-smelling liquid
which may be had of druggists at
about % cents per pound. It should
be used at the rate of ~ table
spoonsful to each 100 pounds of
grain. It may be thrown directly
on the grain in the bin or placed
in shallow pans or saucers in the
bin and allowed to evapOrate. If it
is to be thrown on the grain, throw
in several places, so that the fumes
shall penetrate all parts of the bin.
In either case the bin should be at
once covered with an oil-cloth or
thick blanket to prevent the escape
of the fumes and allowed to remain
covered for about one day.
This treatment is cheap, effective,
easy to apply, and does not hurt the
grain or other materials in the least,
for either planting or food purposes.
Failure in it's use must be due either
to poor quality of bi-sulphide, or to
carelessness in application.
The bi-sulphide is very infamma-
bic, and no light or fire can be al
lowed near when it is being used,
and for some time afterward, not
even a lamp, cigar or pipe.

Wintering Bees.

The successful wintering of bees
has always been the great problem
with average bee-keepers, even with
our most skillful apiarists. Yet,
when the colony has a good queen
and an ample supply of stored honey,
the task is comparatively simple. The
old plan of leaving the colonies on
their summer stands, unprotected
from the singing cold of our north
ern and western winters, is barbar-
Gus, ruinous, and wherever p~ractised
should call for the interference of
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. In their wild
state the bees are snugly packed
away inside a big hollow tree in the
woods, where the winds are obstruct-
ed and broken, and the biting cold
tempered by the natural protection
of the forest. Average people try to
make a colony brave the inclemen-
cies of our winters in a thin-walled
hive, with the western gales driving
the snow into every opening or crack.
How can we expect a colony to out
live such exposure9 I now put my
colonies in safe winter quarters, and
expect to see them come out in good
shape in spring, ready to go to work
with full vigor the first warm day,
and just as soon as a flower is in
sight or offering pollen and nectar.
I first move the colonies gradually
closer together, entrances all toward
the east, and finally crowd them to-
gether on a platform, four or six
inches apart. This platform forms
the bottom of a box, which surrounds
the three colonies and gives just
room enough for packing four inches

of chaf or cut straw all around and
on top of the hives, also a slanting
roof that sheds water. The cover
of each hive is taken off and the
frames covered with a cushion or
blanket before the chaf is put over
them. This, with the entrances left
wholly or partly open, will give the
needed chance for ventilation and
for the escape of moisture.-Farm

birds, and a great pecuniary loss on
the part of the observers.
We, as a people, have failed to OBJ
serve carefully the feeding habits of
feathered friends, and thus have
not learned their intrinsic value. For
the same reason, we have not been
sufficiently interested in their pres
ervation to enact adequate laws for
their protection. There have been
recorded in North Carolina 312 spe-
cies of birds. Three hundred of
these r not protected by the laws
of the State except in a few coun-
ties. Public sentiment is so lax in
many sections that even these laws
r little better than no laws at all.
There is scarcely a bird within the
limits of our Commonwealth that is
not regarded as a legitimate mark
for a gun. Numbers of men and
boys in almost every section of the
country, at times, shoot non-game
birds indiscriminately. Thousands
of chimney-swifts, swallows, martins
and night-hawks (bullbats) are shot

ruE FARMERS SHOULD PROTECT
THE BIRDS.
Their Immense Value as Insect Destroy
ers-Better Bird Laws Needed.

To those who have thought but lit
40 concerning the practical value of
birds to man, it may be a new idea
that their usefulness is a most pro-
nonnced reality. This usefulness
lies chiefly in the services they rem
der as d~estroyers of insects which
are injurious to vegetation, as con-
sumers of small rodents, as destroy
ers of large quantities of seeds of
noxious plants, and as scavengers.
Birds constitute the chief force in
keeping down the surplus number of
insects which otherwise would be i'm
measurably destructive to the agri-
cultural products of the country. As
matters now exist, one-tenth of the
entire agricultural product of the
United States each year is a total
loss through the inroads of insects,
and we are told that owing to the
decreasing number of birds, this per-
centage is annually increasing in
many States. The good which birds
thus do to the agriculturist is sim
ply incalculable.
The young of some species eat
more than their own weight of insect
food daily. Grown robins also have
been known to- consume more than
their own weight during a period of
twenty-four hours. A birds heart
beats twice as fast as the human
heart, and the temperature of its
Modi would be to us a terrible, con
suHtmg fever. To keep up such won
derful vitality, a great quantity of
the most nourishing food is at all
times absolutely necessary. The great
majority of birds subsist chiefly on
insect diet, and two-thirds of the
varieties found In North Carolina
are almost wholly insectivorous.
Birds digest their food so rapidly
that it is difficult to estimate the
real amount which they consume. It
IS known, however, that a swallow
will eat six or seven hundred flies in
a day. The stomach of a cuckoo
(~rain-crow), shot at 6 o'clock in the
morning, held twenty-three tent
caterpillars partly digested. The
stomachs of chickadees have not in
frequently been found to contain
over two hundred eggs of the canker-
worm and as many as twenty-five
of the female moths, each holding
over one hundred eggs. 1t has been
estimated that during the month
that these insects infest the trees,
each chickadee would destroy I'VE
100000 eggs. A pewee, which l once
watched in Guilford County, cap
tured sixteen insects during a period
Of ten minutes. The bird would dart
out a few yards, sieze a passing in
sect and return at once to her look
out perch. When some hours later
l again saw the bird she was still
busy at her work.
The real value of birds as insect
d~estroyers has not been appreciated
