IN APPEAL ron BIRDS.

The severe weather prevailing over
a greater part of the country and the
general heavy snowfall has caused
great mortality among the birds. In
fact, the destruction of bird life has
been 80 great that the national COM
mittee of the Audubon Society has
been led to make an effort to prevent
it, and has issued an appeal to the
public, especially children, to care
for the birds during the inclement
weather The appeal points out that
birds suffer very little in cold wealth.

enough to maintain their normal tenn

bones with scraps of meat and pieces
of suet be hung in orchards or

from the barn floors be scattered in
places where it can easily be found

POSTAL CLERK Trio UBLES

White River Junction, Feb. H.
The postal clerks in Vermont who
make up bundles of letters for Can
ada, are now required to acquaint
themselves thoroughly with the
names and localities of the post Offices
in the provinces of Montreal and Que
bee. There is feeling among these
clerks that thsir work is hard enough
now without imposing this additional
burden. The Canadian postal clerks,
it is claimed, hardly assert at all the
mail they deliver at Newport. The
pouches for "the States are dumped
upon the mail car and the clerks this
side of the line can arrange the letters
o. their run.

The war in the East is opening
with something more than words.
Hardly were diplomatic relations
severed when the first clash of arms
resounded and the blood of many men
was spilled. Japan appears to have
got the best of her antagonist in the
first fight, but the results were not
at all decisive Of the supremacy on
the sea about the scene of war. This
will be war that is a war before ii
is done.

given to dairy interests. The de-
partment is seeking to extend the
markets. For the preservation of the
herds it distributes tuberculin an
anti-tuberculous toxin, to the farmers.
This preparation is the result OF ex
periments made by the department and
proves most efficacious in cases OF tu-
beroulosis in live stock.
A great deal of work is being done
along the lines of entomology. The
relation Of insects to human ailments
and diseases is receiving careful in
vestigation. The bureau of plant in
dustry deals with the diseases of
plants. This bureau is seeking to
introduce varieties that will resist
disease. As u result of the work of
the department OF agriculture we are
producing, in North Carolina, as fine
tea as the world grows. Other i'm
portant divisions Of the department
are those of statistics, forestry and the
improvement of public roads. All
these are receiving attention, both
experimentslly and by investigation.
Col. Brigham closed his address
with an appeal to the farmers to or
ganize. He said that organization
is the order of the day and that with
capitol and labor organized and in
many cases uniting, it was impossible
that the two organized forces should
always keep off the farmers toes
Some detrimental legislation will be
secured. The farmers, therefore,
must organize to check any inter-
ference, on the part of capital and
labor, with the rights and interests of
the farmers,

FORESTRY IN THE WEST.

The Weyerhauser Timber Company,
one of the greatest timber holding
companies of tie Pacific slope, has
signed an agreement with the United
States Bureau of Forestry by which the
Bureau agrees to prepare plans for
the conservative management of about
1900, 600 acres of the company's tim
Der lands in Washington. BY the
terms of the agreement, the bureau is
to send one or more experts to examine
carefully the various tracts of timber

Seth Ford, eighty four. who died at
MoIndoes Falls last week, was one of
the old stage drivers IN the New
Hampshire "north country" engag-
ing in the White mountain business
every summer. He was interested
with several others in stage route
company. This was profitable bust
ness while the railroads kept out. but
their advent decreased the profits and
the old stages of four, six and eight
horses, for so many years popular
and interesting feature of White
mountain life, had to retire. The
only one of these old drivers now liv-
ing, so far as is known, IS Harry Ste
vents, of Bradford. VT, who is over
eighty years old. Mr.. Ford was a
great horse trader, and made money
in this business. 1t is related thai he
once bought horse for $3.50 and, after
much trouble, found mate for it
that cost him $25 He kept the pair
a year and then sold them to New
York party for 81, 500. The aoquaint-
snces he made in the mountain natur-
ally helped in his sales.
There are those who believe that an
earthquake shock occurred Sunday
night at West Lebanon, n. H., ex-
tending to all parts of White River
Junction. The wind was blowing
hard. About midnight several resi-
dents of the former village heard a
dull noise, such as an explosion at a
distance would make, and houses were
shaken. Next morning inquiry was
made as to whether a locomotive had
exploded or any building had been
blown over anywhere in the neighbor-
hood of either village. No such acct
dent had occurred. At the Junction
thu residence of prominent resident
was shaken and dog sleeping in a
lower room was awakened and ran to
another part of the house, barking
loudly. No explanation of the mys-
FERROUS noise or of the shaking of the
houses has been given, and an impress
sion prevails to some extent that the
phenomena were caused by a slight
earthquake.
J. l.. Bacon, State treasurer, has
refused to pay the deficit resulting
from the prosecutions under the liquor
aw to Burlington for the last quarter
of 1908 unless the original cost bills
are furnished him. J. L. Stearns,
clerk of the CITY court, makes quar-.
terly report to the board of aldermen
and that is the only bill of costs is
sued. This report is in the hands of
City Treasurer Grant and he cannot
allow it to leave his Office, as he is
called upon to use it constantly,
hence Mr.. Bacon's demand is refused.
The amount due on the quarter is
about $3.50. The bills for the quarter
have been audited and approved by H.
l.. Graham, State auditor, and If the
deficit is not made good it is probable
that legal action will ensue.

THE JAPANESE SIDE.

Washington, April 29.-The Japanese legation has published the correspond ence that took place between Baron komura, the Japanese minister of for eign affairs, and MT. Kurino, the Jap anese minister at St. Petersburg, pre- ceding the beginning of Russo-Japan- ese war. The purpose of publication is to disclose officially the Japanese atti- tude, and especially to point out the eff forts made to force Russia to an early and conclusive answer to the Japanese proposals relative to the evacuation of Manchuria and the naturalization of Korea.
 The correspondence begins with a telegram from Baron Komura to MT. Kurino, reciting the new Russian de- mands made on China, the strengthen ing of Russia's hold on Manchu-ia and other matters of deep concern which caused Japan to fear that Russia had abandoned her intention to retire from Manchuria.
 The last telegrams exchanged are devoted to the Japanese effort to force Russia to definite acceptance or re- lection of the Japanese proposal.
 This effort eliminated in the instruc- ton of Baron Komura to MT. Kurino which was the final act preceding the war ''to terminate the present futile negotiations" This was dated Tokio Feb. 5. A telegram of the same date from MT. Kurino to Baron Komura says that on February 4, Count Lams- dorff told him he had transmitted to Viceroy Alexieff the substance of the Russian answer, the nature of which he explained to MT. Kurino.

The order was hardly necessary, for tho superintendent had long ago issued general orders to the guards, that in case of an attempt by the prisoners to make the officers shields in a break of this kind, they should shoot, regardless of the danger to the officers; that on

THE WORLD WARNED.
Russia Will Accept no Help in Settling
 With Japan.

St. Petersburg. April 29.-In the most catagorial terms Russia has notified the world that she will not accept mediation to terminate the war with Japan. The official circular is in part as follows:
 Russia did not wish the war, every thing within the limits of possibility was done by her to solve the complica- tions which had arisen in the far east in a peaceful manner, but after a treacherous surprise on the part of the Japanese which forced Russia to take up arms, obviously no friendly media tion can have success.
 similarly the imperial government will not permit the intervention of any power whatsoever in the direct ne- go:iations which will occur between Russia and the Japanese after the termination of hostile operations in or der to determine the conditions of peace"
 Such an outburst of popular enthu- siasm as witnessed today the arrival here of the survivors of the Varias and the Korietz has not been expert enced here in many years.
