For many years we have seen eloquent
jileas without number for the preserva
tion of the birds. “Spare the birds;
plant trees and encourage them to come
and nest about your grounds.” Kuch
advice lias been often repeated in lectures
and newspapers.
Most birds are beautiful and attractive,
and, if they behave suitably, would win
the respect of and be admired by every
body. Sentiment is all on the side of the
birds. Without question birds, as a
whole, do vastly more good than injury
on the garden and farm ; but we do not
think it follows that every iiird in evyry
neighborhood is greatly to lie desired.
While one man says he can not get any
cherries because the robins and cedar
birds take them, another says: “Plant
more trees and raise fruit enough for the
birds.” The defender of every bird —all
birds, regardless ol habits—tells us how
many cut-worms a robin will eat in a
cay, and bow many she carriea to her
young. He says: “If the robins are
killed we shall be overrun with insects.”
All aniuiaU arc on a Htrifc for a living,
or at war with each other. They prey
111 ><>11 one another and thus prevent any
undue multiplication of ejiccies. Dec*-
•ionally, by the agency of man or wane
other means, Rome iqc cieH become very

If robin, were removed entirely for a
few year., and cut-worma and other bi
secU became very nurnerouit, no doubt
some other bird, or other enemies U> the
insect* would multiply with great rapid

work now attributed so largely to the
robin.. Wo grant that the robin, doe.
much good, and all will concede that .lie
does Horne barm. We have yet to learn
that rebins eat any injurious insects that
are not also eaten by other bird, which
are less trouble to the fruit-grower.
Ifobina and other bird* are numerous
in Home portion* of our state where cut
worms have been very annoying—unusu-
ally so tor several years in succession.
Robins are not a sure remedy tor making
cut-worms scarce. On the grounds
of the Michigan agricultural college
there are many trees mid shrubs,
and no one is allowed to trouble the
birds. These become very tame, and
nest and multiply in great mimbms; but
1 may safely say that we have insects
here in great numbers, of all the prevail
ing sorts which are noxious to farmers.
1 now give some testimony from reliable
sources, iu four oilier localities in remote
portions of our state.
South Haven in wtuHtM on Uip take
shore iu the wtwtern part of the Htte.
It is oompaMtively new, but larely do
voted to the raising of fruit. Mr. 1,. 11.
Uni ley, Jr., has been a defender of the
bird*. No one iu that neighborhood
raises an much as one hundred bushels ol
cherriee, yet every one in the village and
country raises them more or less. All
the sweet and early cherries are greedily
taken by the birds, the most common ol
which are the cedar-birj, cat bird aud
robia. The cedar-bird is by (ar the most
troublesome. Every year they appear at
about the same time aud in great num
bers. The pesople know of no way to
get rid of them except by firearms: but
this does more harm than good, by driv
ing other harmless birds away. Scare
crows do no good. 11c would advise
raising more fruit and letting the owners
get what they can. Turds have not
troubled grapes in South Haven.
Mr. H. E. Owen lives in the city of
Adrian, in the southern portion of the
state. He has for some time been an
active member of a local horticultural
society. The most troublesome birds
there, in city and vicinity, are cedar
birds, robins and orioles; the latter of
which nest iu large numbers in the nu
merous elms in th city and ncigbor
bood. They “go for" the sweet cherries
without much distinction, and in some
seasons have taken grapes. Onethiuday,
in about eight hours, the robins took
about five hundred pounds of grapes.
1 here are no large cherry orchards or
vineyards about Adrian, but, on the
whole, there is a large amount of fruit
raised. Planting enough for the birds,
ui use au expressive phrase. “ has played
put.” The peofl* who save their fruit
I shoot the birds, hang birds in the trees,
or cover the grapevines with mosquito
netting.
Mr. H. Dale Adams, of Kalamazoo
county, ha* for some years raised about
150 bushels of cherries, annually. This
year there were no birds to make any
trouble, but usually they are very thick,
ami lie shoots them. The birds are the
worst on black cherries. One year the
birds came im such flocks that fifty to
one hundred bushels of cherries were
taken almost at once. He laughs at the
idea of planting enough for the birds,
and thinks it very unreasonable. He
does not think it can be done.
Mr. George I’armele, of Traverse coun
ty, finds the birds very troublesome on
early cherries. This year lie probably
killed ,‘too birds—mostly cedar-birds, and
a few blue-jays. The robins are not so
bad. The late cherries were not touched,
as the birds probably found an abundance
of wild raspberries all over the country.
Mr. I’armele is one of the most prom
inent fruit-growers of the state, and was
at one time president of the state Pomo
logies 1 society.
Judge J. G. llamsdell, of the same
county, is no less widely known as a
grower of fine fruites. He has quite a
| large orchard of early cherries in bearing
j but can hardly get any for himself—at
! least, any which are ri|w and fit to cat.
j There are no wild berries at the time of
early cherries. He shoots the birds, but
thinks it costs him moro tbsn the ehcr
►ies are worth. He is going to let ti e
trees go down.
I have heard people say that birds
took only the wormy cherries, but 1
think not, as long as they can get sound
fruit. The cedar-bird devours ls-es,
sometimes in large quantities, i have
seen one take a dozen bets in five min
utes, as he sat near the hive, (some of
our worst insects are the codling moth,
plum curculico and jK-ach-tree liorer.
The apple moth hides in tho daytime;
the larva is in tho apple, except while
in the chrysalis, and is sometimes taken
by birds. The plum curculio is not
much troubled by birds. Human efforts,
mostly with wires ami jack-knives, keep
down the peach-tree borer. Alter study
ing the subject for ten years or more,
and reading ail I could get on this sub
ject, and making some close observations
in the field and gardeu, I am convinced
that the cedar-bird does us moro harm
than good, and that tho fruit-growers of
our state would lie glad to be rid of him.
If the birds are bad, watch tho fruit,
and if necessary kill them. As shown
above, the same bird is not equally
troubles >me in all seasons or in all
localities. We hope the champions of
birds will treat the subject fairly and
not too sweeping in their assertions.
The robin, the oriole, the cat-bird, and
perhaps others for certain localities,
could ire be tier spared than not by our
growers of small Iruits. — Rroftmor IK J.

■llneK Teeth in I'lit".
All veterinarian, unite in saying that
there is no such disease. It i. a symp
tom ot indigestion, or occurs in pigs
which are shedding their milk teeth. If
there are carious teeth, or new teeth are
pushing the first ones, a little dental
surgery is needed. Good care, cleanli
ness, pure air and suitable food have
always cured case, of “ black teeth.”
Ills Cars lor llua < bolero.
A correspondent ot the Chicago Tri
bune, writing from Canton, Ohio, says:
“ in view of the (act that last year over
*2:1,000,000 worth of hoes died in the
United .States, and that its ravages are
fearful everywhere at the preent time, 1
wish to make the following proposition
through your widely-circulating paper:
1 will go to any point in Illinois, lowa
or adjoining states tliat may la: selected,
snd 1 will take a lot of sick hogs, 26, 60
or 100, and I will engage to cure every
one that is not too sick to drink milk,
effecting the cure inside ol six days from
the time I commence with them. After
four years investigation of the disease,
and during which time 1 have dissected
switch of hogs, 1 am certain 1 have dis
covered tire nature of the disease sud
the remedy for it.”
Ventilate the t orn-l'rltm.
A correspondent of a leading agricult
ural exchangs says:
1 would advise all western farmers to
ventilate their corn-cribs well, and they
will have less spoiled corn. There arc
annually thousands and thousands t
bushels of corn spoiled by not having
the cribs properly made and by the want
of ventilation. It is generally the prac
tice to make the floor of the cribs level
aud, when the cribs are filled with corn,
niue-teuths of them will sag in the cen
ter. Then, when a heavy rain comes, the
water that is driven in at the sides of
the crib will run to the center, and warm
weather will cause the corn in the center
of the crib to sprout, and when once
started, it will depend on the weather
when it will stop.
When building a crib, in the first place
raise the door in the center of the crib
from eight to twelve inches, according to
the width, so that w hatever water mav
run in during driving rain storm, will
run out again immediately. To make a
ventilation, take four fet.ee boards, six
i inches wide, and as long as the height of
the crib. Make a square lule by nail
ing lha.se together, aud the ventilator is
made. Place as many [of them in the
center of the crib, at intervals of from
four to eight feet apart, as are needed,
according to the width of the crib, and
let the ends of the ventilator pipes go
down through the floor and up through
the roof of the crib, with rat and mice
protectors on the bottom aud storm pro
tectors on the top. Bore the ventilator
full of small-sued auger holes so that the
air that passes through will pene
trate to the ceDter of the crib.
Conscientiousness.
John Winters sat at his desk. It was
half-past five o’clock in the afternoon and
he was supjwsed to leave off work at six.
Hut in fact he had already left off; for,
though he remained on his seat, and even
occasionally dipped his pen in the ink,
he had net written a word for the last
ten minutes. No one was in the office
bat himself on this occason. 8o no one
was watching John, excepting the great
fiod who always sees us. John did not
think of him, or perhaps he would not so
thoroughly have wasted that half-hour
as he did. He whistled softly to himself.
Then with his pen he idly drew some
Comic figures on his waste pa[>er. Then
he laid his head on his hands feeling al
most inclined to go to sleep. And so the
time was idled away until, looking at the
clock, he saw with delight that it was
ten minutes to six.
8o he got off the stool and closed the
lawks for the day, and locked them up.
Having done that, he did what, if he
were alone at this time, he never omitted
doing—he looked carefully about the
floor.
He found, lying among scraps of paper,
two bits of lead pencil, which he care
fully put into his pocket. He also found
three envelopes,which he put into his
pocket-book. Then he searched again on
the floor and found eight postage-stamps,
and these also he pocketed.
Was that light?
I am sure you will all decide that it
was very wrong indeed.
Then John presented himself before
the manager.
“ Hhall i be wanted again this evening,
sir?”
“ No, Winters, I think not; good eve
ning.”
“ Good evening, sir? ”
John went down the street. Presently
ho was accosted by a boy who lived near
him.
“John, have you one or two good lead
liencils to sell ? ”
“ Yes, I have two hits,” said John
taking the pieces Irom his pocket.
“ How much are they?”
“ I want a penny for the two.”
“Do you ? Why, I can get plenty ol
lead pencils, whole and new, for a half
[>cnny each.”
“ Well, you shall have throe envelopes
as well, and I am sure that altogether, it
is a capital pennyworth.”
“ You will have to l>e a tradesman,
John, you know so woll how to do busi
ness,” said the boy as he gave John the
|>emiy, and received in exchange the
envelopes and pieces of pencil.
John went on until he saw a hoy who
was living away from his friends, and
often wrote letters.
“ Dan,” said John, “ I have found
some postage-stamps; will you buy
some ?”
“ How many are there?”
“ Might; and I will let you have them
for sixpence.”
“ Very well.”
The exchange was made at once, and
Dan went on. Hula lad who had wit
ncssed the transaction stopped to s|>eak
to John.
“ John,” ho suid, gently, “ perhaps you
will say it i. no btisiu* • of mine, but I
cannot Help thinking that you find a
good many tilings.”
" Well, what if I do?” said John, feel
ing his face grow Rather rod.
“ Why, John, I don't want to make
you cross, but it seems strange that you
should find so many more things than
other people. 1 hope you do honestly
find them.”
“What do you mean?” said John,
angrily. “ 1 never offered to sell a thing
which 1 have not really found.”
“ Hut if you find it on tho ground of
your master's premises if belongs to him,
and not to you ; and I think it is dishonest
te take it.”
“ l>o you mean to sav that I am a
thief?”
“ No, I leave that for you to decide.
But if your conscience tells you that it
is not perfectly honest, leave off doing
it, John. It would lie such a pity for
you to lie Hjioiled for the want of con
scientiousness.”
Charles Norman Sjmke mi frankly,
and yet so gently, that John could not
speak violently in return. As for John,
lie looked, as he felt, thoroughly un
comfortable. He hung his head, for he
did not care to meet the eyes of his
friend.
That evening John’s mother noticed
that he was very quiet, and thought he
was unusually tired. So she boiled a
new-laid egg, and put it before him.
“Here is a treat for you, my boy,” she
said. “ Never mind being tired. Every
one who does his work conscientiously
must l<e weary sometimes, hut you will
i feel better after you have hail your
tea.”
John felt as if he did not deserve the
egg, but be ate it up and then went out.
“1 am going across the fields for a
walk, mother,” he said.
“ Go, my boy. I am sure it will do
you good ”
So it did : much more good than his
mother guewed.
The words which Charles Norman and
his mother had used rang in John's ear
as he walked : “ Conscientiousness!
Oonscientiou sness! ’”
“Ah 1 ” sighed John, “ that is what I
lack. If not, 1 should never have acted
as i have done.”
He walked fast to try to shut out the
thought that came next, but it forced
itaelt iuto his mind, and he could not got
away from it.
“ 1 have been robbing my master, Kith
ot his time and his propertv.”
“ I will never, never do it again as
long as I live, ’be said presently. “ I
did not know how wicked I had been
until Charles Norman's weirds told me.
O God, nelp me, that I may bo better in
future! ”
The next morning John went to bis
work, and there was no loitering all that
day.
in the evening, when he went as usual
to the manager's room, he made a confes
sion ;
“ I feel that I have not been conscien
tious, sir, and I want you to know all
about it.”
“ Tell me, then, John.”
How he manager/ it John never knew,
but with pain and shame he told the
whole story, and gave up the money.
“ i am very sorry for you, John,” said
the manager, “because you will not find
it easy to forgive yourself, even if I for
give you. I will hope, however, that
from to-day you will begin anew life,
and never do such mean and wicked
things again.”
He never did; but he grew up a dili
gent, honest, conscientious man, and won
the respect of all who knew him. God
prosperod him and made him a rich man ;
but the pleasure that he felt in his riches
was not spoiled by the thought that he
bad gained them by unjust means.
No one was more glad of bis prosperity
than his friend, Charles Norman, and
John frequently thanked Charles for being
a real friend, and telling him the truth
about himself at that critical time in his
life. —Early Day*.
THE 111 DON’S CONSTRUC
TION.
Vl*wh of nil Kx|M-rl<‘ii<*<‘! Miiphn I ll v r
lron \h. Wooil for War Veasels.
In an interview with Mr. Nathaniel
McKay, the experienced ship builder
who has just returned from an extensive
visit to the ship and navy yards and
docks of Europe, the following views
were expressed respecting the late disas
ter to the Huron. Mr. McKay says the
loss of the vessel cannot bo attributed to
anything except bad reckoning. “As to
the efficiency of the vessel and her con
struction,” he remarked : “ there can be
no question. I saw the vessel while
building, and saw her when she first came
to the Philadelphia navy yard; have
also seen the specifications, and I have a
copy of them. They are all in accordance
with the rules of naval architecture.
The class of vessels of which the Huron
was one were built very strong and sub
stantial. The frames were made very
heavy, and also the plating. Although
uever in favor of building iron vessels
for the navy for cruisers, yet I consider
tho Huron as good as any that can be
built of her elate. She was intended to
carry light batteries, arid would Lave
been a good vessel for the purpose for
which she was built if they could have
kept her afloat. Hut the momeul she
grounded on any bank or shoal she
would be worthless. In Europe they
cover all their iron hulls with wood to
the water line. They build iron ships for
navy purposes as cruisers in Europe be
cause they have no live-oak timber, such
as we have. If the Huron had been a
live oak ship, she would have thumped
in the sand for weeks, perhaps for months;
hut this would not have saved the lives
of those on board, for the sea would still
have washed over her. These were ex
pedition al ships, ordered by con
gress to ascertain whether the iron ship
would last as long as a wooden
one, and we now have the result
of flic first, which I have no doubt
will be the case with the others if they
should touch bottom, under almost any
circumstances. They are built to stand
the sea, and that ia all they can possibly
bear. Under nny other circumstances
they would lie immediately disabled.
The British government is now building
steel corvettes ia Glaseow and covering
them with wood (four-inch teak) on the
outside of the iron plating. The United
States’ government can not afford to build
their crusiers of iron. Farragut said he
would rather fight in a wooden ship than
an iron one. In regard to the Amerique
—the French iron steamer—as compared
with the Huron, it must be remembered
that the former was about four hundred
and fifty feet long and fifty feet wide,
giving her a very large surface, and laid
in a bed of sand off Long Branch, which
was a* soft as possible could la- made for
her. In the case of the Huron she was
a little short vessel, one hundred and
aeveuty-five long, thirty-two wide and
sixteen deep. She was going at the rate
of ten knots per hour when she struck,
and tho momentum of the vessel, with
the force of the propeller ami the sails
and the sea, dashed her on the shore
with a velocity probably ten times the
weight of the ship, which the hull could
I not withstand, and she must necessarily
have become a total wreck. In regard to
Mr. John Roach’s statement, which I
road iu the Htrald this morning, I know
j when the specifications were made for
the ships they were made very heavy, in
| order to see whether thej would last as
i long as a live oak ghip, five of
which were under course of construction.
Many people find fault and criticise the
the construction of a ship when they
have not the least knowledge of the hull,
the engine, the sails or the rigginir.”

Significance of the Fall of Kars
Kars is so well known throughout the
east that its surrender into Russian
hands will be regarded in England with
a certain degree of trepidation 1 hose
eastern interests of Great Britain, which
every Englishman is so ready to go to
war to defend, are certainly threatened
now. Persians, Circassians, and the
wild tribes of Asia will lie thrilled by the
intelligence that Armenia ts practicailv
in Russian possession. Once beiore this
has happened; but Russia was then
fighting allied Europe; and the disasters
in the Crimea compelled the eventual re
linquishment of the advantages gamed
in Asia Minor. But the former reduc
Lion of Kars will long be remembered in
the east as a notable event in the history
of that struggle. It was only a few days
ago that Disraeli dismissed all hopes of
speedy mediation or interference by Eng
land. He announced that the policy of
neutrality would be maintained so long
as British interests were net assailed.
The time has not yet come when it can
be truly Baid that those jealously guarded
interests are menaced. But the fall of
Kars must nearly affect the object of
Great Britain’s solicitude. So far as the
conclusion of the war is concerned, the
event may, in this intent, be more im
portant than now appears.---Nero York

An Alpine Avnlnnche.
In the summer of 1864, a party of tourista,
while visiting the Apis, climbed with great
difficulty to an elevated and snow-covered
plateau, ia order to obtain a better view of
Swiss scenery, and contrast the beauty and
richness of midsummer below with the
bleakness and sterility of midwinter around
and above them. In play they rolled the
moist snow into large balls, they crowded it
over the edge of the pis tea a. In falling it
struck softer snow, which immediately ga7e
way, and soon an avalanche was tearing
down the mountain side burying and de
stroying everything in its course. As the
handful of snow became the irresistible av
alanche, so the hacking cough with sore
throat ana Catarrh, if neglected, speedily
develops that dread destroyer, Consumption.
In the eaily stages Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Rem
edy will effect a cure, though if the blood be
affected or impoverished it must be imrified
and enriched by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery, and the liver and bowels kept
active by his Pleasant Purgative Pellets.
Many who despaired of life and had beeu
given up to die by physicians and friends,
owe their restoration to the above remedies.

Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.:
DearSir:-l was prostrated some three years
since with pleuro pneumonia, which left me
with a troublesome cough, that gradually
grew worse until physicians gave me up to
die with Consumption. I tried several rem

tion, but without obtaining any relief or
benefit. Seeing your Golden Medical Dis
covery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets ad
vertised, I concluded to try them,anti I found
them to be all that you claim for them. My
restoration has remained complete for over
two years. Inclosed find $1.50 for a copy of
