Birds Teach Lazy Man 4 Lesson.

Go to the birds, thou sluggard, for
birds can and do work far harder
than human beings. "A pair OF house
martins, when nesting, will feed their
young ones In 20 seconds -that is,
each bird, male and female, makes 60
journeys to and fro an hour, or about
1000 a day. On each journey the
bird has the added work Of catching
the insects. Even SO tiny bird as
the wren has been counted to make
110 trips to and from its nest within
go minutes: and the prey carried
home consisted Of larger, heavier and
harder to find insects than were
caught by the sparrows. Among them
we're 20 good-sized caterpillars, ten
grasshoppers, seven spiders, ii worms
and more than one fat chrysalis.

AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOR
WESTERN FARMERS.
Real Estate Agents" Go After
Men with Land for Sale and
Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on a
farmer and makes bid for his land.
The figures are .absurdly low at first,
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he Is
only an agent, but that he can sell the
land at the price named If the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at
the rate of fifty cents an acre. The
agent promises orally that the ad-
yertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold, but this stipula-
tion is not contained in a. contract
that the farmer signs.
In few days he receives a copy Of
an ad and not oyer-courteous demand
for money. 1t is said that twenty
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
one Of them gave up $500. Others de-
clare hotly that they will not pay but
they will make fight in the courts.
