IS FRIEND OF THE FARMER.
Peculiar Qualities Of the Swallow
Should Endesr Him to All Til.
lers OF the Soil.

From the standpoint of the farmer
and the orchardist perhaps no birds
more useful than the swallows exist.
They have been described as the light
cavalry of the avian army
Specially adapted Cor flight and IN
excelled in aerial evolutions, they have
few rivals in the art OF capturing in
sects in midair They eat nothing of
value to man except a few predaceous
wasps and bugs, and In return for
their services in destroying vast mum
beers of noxious insects ask only for
harborage and protection.
1t is TO the fact that they capture
their prey on the wing that their pc
culiar value to the cotton grower is
due. Orioles do royal service in catch
ing weevils on the hollis, and black
birds, wrens, flycatchers and others
contribute TO the good work, but when
swallows are migrating over the cot
ton fields they find the weevils flying
in the open and wage active war
against them. As many as q adult
weevils have been found in the stom.
ach of single cllf swallow.

II is true that with centuries of i'll

Birth Of Music

BY the old Romans the god Mer
curry was credited with the invention
OF music. According to Apallodorus
the belief was as follows: The Nile
after an overflow. left on the shore a
dead tortoise. It's flesh was finally
dried up by the hot sun, so that moth
ing remained in the shell but the
carriages, which. being braced and
contracted by the heat, became So

walking that way. and striking his

FOR A NEW FRANCHISE.

AS The Bulletin has previously
stated, there does not appear TO be
aay good reason why the Cairo Water
Co. should not have new charter
now instead of waiting till the pres
ent charter expires provided it is
made so that the interests of the
people are properly protected IN al
matters pertaining to rates and ser
vice. II fact, it io as much TO be
desired from the standpoint Of tbs
people as from that of the wafer com
palv, that a new charter should be
drawn now. and for this reason 1t is
not so very far out of the way that
the city council should take the mat
