BIRD NOTES FROM 1sLEsBoRo.

IsLEsBoRo. April 3, 1905. The bird spoken
of in my recent notes copied in your paper
| was the junco, not the jimeO. Here are some
| more notes that perhaps you can use.
For two weeks wild geese have been going
north, and there is probably nothing in the
whole migratory period more interesting to
the people at large than these trips, spring
and fall, of Canada's geese. The largest
| flock seen yet was March 18th. The birds
were in direct line with the house, flying in
the usual wedge-shaped figure, or inverted
"v." One arm was much longer than the
other, but the lines were as straight as
geometry could make them. l judged the
angle made to be about As. At this time
some one called for our next door neighbor
, to come out and see them. The birds heard
the call There was a sOnOrous 'hOnk!
honk !" and the leader wheeled his body of
| flying infantry to the right and away from
our neighborhood. When last seen they
we're off in the direction of Castine.
Everyone has seen certain number of
| spring birds. Not all have yet seen the fol-
lowing: On March 80, the red-winged
UAoSh-OiAu pun III lGo 0pPO0AouSO' AO oouIC
! day the white breasted swallow or tree
| swallow was noted. March 81, the fox
sparrow was very much in evidence. And
his song! It is the finest yet of all the new
| corners. April a new sparrow that l call
| ed the swamp sparrow was present. Still
another that did not get near enough to,
to study was seen; neither did l get the
song, so he is unnamed. But there are so
many kinds of sparrows! And they will
soon be coming along so fast that the bird
| student who names them all should be con-
| sidered specialist in that line On one
walk l found some feathers belonging to
| the flicker and wondered how he had met
! his death. 1t is Seton Thompson who says
that in wild life nothing dies natural
| death, that weakness from age or accident
| is the signal for the strong to prey upon the
! weak.
| One of the interesting things noted while
the ice bridge was the public thoroughfare,
was the crossing of two foxes from the
main land to the island. A sea captain
watching the ice through a pair of field
glasses saw Mr. and Mrs. Fox out seeking
pastures new, and saw them come to the
island. We Judge that those of our friends
| who have poultry yards will do most of the
entertaining A.. LIP.

BEWARE OF THE PESSIMIST.

1t is the duty of every reputable ciJi-
zen to recognize whatever is truest and
best in the life of his community. The
world has sore places enough at best
without any man permitting himself to
suspect more than there really are.
The.optimist brighter life-the pessi-
mist throws upon those about him the
shadow of his own gloom.
The glory of the race lies in the fact
that the optimists far outnumber the
pessimists. Indeed pessimism i'll itself
is form of insanity. Its very presence

When we see man questioning the
virtues of tile community in which he
resides, INDUCING II Splenetic indict-
ment OF the characters and motives of
his neighbors, with which as general
thing lie has or can have but a very
superficial conception outside the mar
row limitations of his own immediate
associations, it is very evident that he
is not the kind of a man to tie to. The
chances are that the motives of such a
man would scarcely be creditable to
him if put to the test of clear and
searching analysis. 1t is difficult at
times to pass off the vaporings of de-
ceased nature as the voice of inSpira-
ton. In most cases it will be found
that the man who can see no good in
the world about him, would himself
show considerable amount of inter
nal gangrene if placed under the A-ray
of the Divine Spirit. A man who III
diets society as whole is usually the
one who hasn't courage enough-in

THE WORLDS POTATO CROPS.

The potato crop in Ireland in 1904
partially failed, according to reference
to it in the United States Government
Crop Reporter for March. The coun-
ties of Galway, Sligo, Mayo and Clare,
in western Ireland, suffered the princi-
pal shortage. The total crop of the
country, however, was larger than that
produced in 1908. ''The fact that the
crop was above the average in other
parts of Ireland has not greatly relieved
the situation in the less favored por-
lions, the bulky nature of potatoes
making transportation too expensive
for the product of other sections to be
within the reach of the poor of the
famine district says the Reporter.
AS the distances between the affected
and disaffected districts are only about
seventy-fve miles. such explanation
of the cause for suffering is difficult of
comprehension.
The statistical portion of the Report
er's account is probably the more inter
esting in that it gives the acreage APP
propriated to the production of pota-
toes in the civilized countries of the
world in 1908, as follows:
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1905-04-06

In 1859 the potato area of Ireland was
1908 acres and its production $780,
100000 bushels. To the emigration
to America which followed the potato
rot and famine in Ireland in 1847 is at
tributed the falling off to the present
acreage and to average production of
95, OOO, 900 bushels.
