FARMERS FRIENDS.
Crow, Blackbrd and Bluejay Seen in
New Light.

Farmers who have been studying
the use of various birds to their grow
ing crops, feel much less animosity
against the crow, blackbird and blue
jay than formerly, for it has been
proved that these birds aid the farmer
more than they hurt him. The swal-
low, swift and nightingale are the
guardians of the atmosphere, feeding
on the wing and taking from the air
those forms of insects that might en-
danger the fruit and trees. Woodpeck-
ers, chickadees and creepers are the
guardians of the trunks of trees, eat
ing the grubs that injure the back of
fruit or ornamental trees Blaekbirds,
thrushes. crows and larks protect the
soil, eating the worms and insects
that injure the corn. wheat and oats
They scarcely partake of corn except
in the autumn. The snipe and wood

Matching larvae and insects that
would soon attack the roots of the
growing crops. The long-persecuted
crow is really the farmers friend for
he destroys more insects than the av-
erage bird and rarely pulls up the
corn. as alleged. He has been known
to eat 200 grasshoppers in a single
hour, says Coleman's Rural World
The pretty quail, whose life has been
spared by the hunter only because of
the laws of several states, eats the
weed seeds, which would otherwise
scatter, and is also good feeder on
insect life. The grouse of the west
as well as the east is a great eater of
grubs and grasshoppers and all forms

Safe, Sure and Speedv.

No external remedy ever yet de- vised has so fully and unquestionably met these three prime conditions as successfully as Allcocks Plasters. They are safe because they contain no deleterious drugs and are manu- factured upon scientific principles of medicine. They are sure because nothing goes into them except ingre- dients which are exactly adapted to the purposes for which plaster is re- quired. They are speedy in their ac- tion because their medicinal qualities go right to their work of relieving pain and restoring the natural and healthy performance of the functions of muscles, nerves and skin.
 Allcock's Plasters are the original and genuine porous plasters and like most meritorious articles have been extensively initiated therefore always make sure and get the genuine.

Comment That Sumo,

The marquis of Lansdown, leader of unionist peers in the British parlia- ment, speaks rarely but always with effect. He revels in grave sarcasm. On one ocasion Lord Crewe, the lib- eral leader, made a speech on subject which he desired to leave matter for open voting among his followers. Lord Lansdowne congratulated his friend on his eloquent speech. "1 have followed it." he said, with earn est attention not only on account rof the importance of the subject but also on account of the noble lords judicial attitude. I admired his earnestness ~ and eloquence, but what impressed me most was his impartiality." A pause.
