TIE. HURON EXPOSITOR..
The Farmers' Birds.
(Tribune and Farmer.)
The farmer and fruit -grower who has
cultivated habits of observation, says a
western entomologist, will soon come to
know those birds of most value as insect
destroyers. Wrens devour great num-
bers of cutworms. The crow blackbird
picks up any lame it may find in the
furrows. So would crows if allowed.
They will neither of them pull corn if
80me of the soaked grain is strewed oven
the planted field. The robin is a pest
among small fruit, whenripening, but at
all other seasons a friend to the fruit
-
growers, and at all times beneficial to
the farmer and gardener.
Of fruit -eaters, robins, thrushes, cat-
birds, bluejays, cherry -birds, orioles and
others of that class are wdll-known.
They never injure the grain farmer'and
the horticulturist only during' the fruit
season.
Barn owls areinveterate mousers, and
in summer time feed on night -flying
moths and beetles. They are valuable
in destroying mature insects,- thus pre-
venting the laying of their , eggs.. The
hawks eat mice frogs, grasshoppers,
snakes, lizards, beetles, small birds and
various verriiin, according to their spe-
cies. The crow is an omniverous eater,
but eats less corn than. any other food.
The proportion of hawks that kill chick-
ens are not more in numbers, relatively,
than of man-eating tigers.
The food of blackbirds consists of cut-
worms, wire -worms and the lary of de-
structive butterflies.
The climbers include woodpeckers
and cuckoos. Nearly all are exclusive
insect -eaters. The sapsucker alone is
destructive to trees. The yellow -billed
cuckoo—common. in the northwest—is
especially destructive to the American
tent-caterpiller.
Wren e and bluebirds are exclusive in-
sect eaters, the bluebirds taking canker
worms and coddling moths. 'The white -
breasted nuthatch and American creeper
live exclusively on tree insects. The
finch, lark and plover tribes eat insect
larvx. The meadow lark seeks under-
ground lame.
The plover eats grasshoppers, beetles,
gnats, etc. All the warblers destroy a
great variety of small insects. The land
game birds, although classed as gnarrmiv-
orous, eatmore largely of insects than
other food.
Birds of doubtful utility—so classed—
to the horticulturist, but not injurious
to the farmer, exceptthe bluejay—which
destroys the nests of small birds of great
entility—are : Robin, catbird, brown
thrush, red-headed woodpecker, shrike,
or butcher -bird, and the bluejay. There
are really but two, the bluejay and the
oriole—if we except the hawk and larger
owls—of this class that are injurious to
the farmer. A decent man will not kill
singing birds, and game birds only in
their seashn. Let the boys of the farm
be instructed in the same direction.

Was It Covetousness.
The first "mercantile business" I can
remember being engaged in was when I
was a five-year-old boy, when one Fourth
of July I sold to the other boys in our
neighborhood, from a little table in an
alley -way next to my father's house,
"molasses and water" for one cent a
glass. How I enjoyed it !' for I made
the largest per cent. of profit on it that
I ever have made, as my parents furnish-
ed. the materials for me free, from our
pump and kitchen closet. How rich I
felt when I had pocketed those ten or
twelve big copper cents that were about
in those days ! And I often earned one,
two, or three cents, and sometimes a
"fourpence ha'penny," as we called
those little silver pieces that represented
six and a quarter cents in those old days.
Your readers whose hair is growing a
little white will remember those " four-
pences " and those big copper cents of
those °Id times. The first financial dis-
tress I experienced was when, after dark
one evening, when I was about ten years
old, I dropped a Tittle silver fourpence,
which I had earned, on the sidewalk of
the principal street of the town, and
hunted and prowled around after it a
long time in agony, but could not find it
in the dark, and had toget home and go
to bed without it, but made up my mind
that I would get up just before daylight
in the morning, before other folks could
get a chance at it, and find it when the
sunlight came along. I was so intensely
determined to wake up early., that when
I did awake I was delighted to find that
I could get on the street before, sunrise,
which I did, full of anxiety; but how
tickled I felt when the firat rays of
morning brought to my sight my little
silver fourpence ! I have no doubt that
I relished my breakfast well that morn-
ing. How often during my business
career I have retired at night troubled
by losses amounting to thousands of dol-
lars, which could not be gained again by
getting up early, though sometimes they
would wake me earlier than the little
ailver fourpence did !
I continued to earnone cent, or two
cents, but rarely a fourpence, before
sohool or after school, by doing various
little job, or errands, until I was almost
fourteen year old, when I got a situation
itt a dry goods store in our town. My
salary for the first year or two was $1 a
week. I opened the shop at five o'clock
in the morning, swept out, dusted the
store, cleaned and trimmed the lamps,
and filled them with whale oil. There
was no gas company then in our town,
which is now a city, with gas and elec-
tricity. I commenced waiting !Ton the
customers, and carried bundles all over
town;we had a good evening trade,
and id not -shut up shop until nine
o'clock in the evening. By the fourth
year my wages had increased to 83 per
week. I boarded with a relative for $2
per week, aud with the remaining money
I paid all of my expenses duringpthe suc-
ceeding years until 1 was 21 years of
age. I continued to do so, practicing
the most careful and rigid economies;
and though my wages hal increased a
little from year to year, my expenses for
board and other necessities had also in-
creased, so that I figured and figured
and figured, watched and calculated
.closely asever, hoping to 'meet them,
.and perhaps, At°, to get a little capital
ahead to help me to start a business for
myself when I should get to be 21 years
old. Was this covetousness?
When I did arrive at that age, I hired
a little store, with rent $300 per year;
and my father, though his means were
very limited, loaned me $500, and I got
trusted for 'several hundred Idollars'
worth of dry goods and small wares in
addition, and opened shop with great
trepidation, fearing that I might not
aucceed againat the many competitors
who were adl about my locality. I
squeezed my expenses to the lowest pos-
eible point, and worked iecnsaantly uutil
nine o'clock in the evening. I remem-
ber how glad I was to sell two skeins of
thread for a cent, or a piece of tape at
the same price, etc., etc. Oh! the
anxieties and agonies I went through for
fear I Should fail, which in those days
was considered a.disgrace 1 I shall never
forget the dismay and consternation I
felt on taking account of stock at the
close of the first year's business, to find
that I had not made a dollar; but I
fought hard to keep up courage, and
went into the second year's work deter-
mined to get ahead, if possible; but at
the close of the year, on taking account
of stock again, I found I was in the
same condition that I found myself to
be in at the close of the first year. I re-
member telling my father, with sobs
and tears, how I had come out the sec-
ond year, and that he told me not to be
discouraged, for he had seen many a
year when he did not make money, but
had, notwithstandding, now got ahead
comfortably, and always paid his debts
in full. I discovered that a young man
who had been in my employ had been.
spending a very large amount more than
his salary, and that he had taken it from
my money drawers; but as he had now
gone, I felt hopeful that on the third
year, if I was courageous and careful, I
should add something to my means.
Was this covetousness? I pitched- in,
and, watched things like a detective, and
at the close of the third year took an ac-
count of stock, and was delighted to find
that I had got more than double the
amount- of my borrowed capital; and,
by hard work and the strictest econo-
mies for 15 years, I continued from year
to year to increase my capital. Was
this covetousness? I had become dur-
ing this time, a married man, and the
father of several children, so that my
expenses and my need of capital to car-
ry on a larger businese had increased so
largely that I did not feel much richer
when I had accumlated $10,000 than I
felt when I had got my first thousand.
I afterward became a partner in a whole-
sale business, and continued to prosper
financially. I had been giving all along
something to church work, to various
charities, and to relatives in need; but
the habit of looking after things closely
I could not dismiss, especially as I made
mistakes and losses occasionally in my in-
vestments, and have been so worried
sometimes that I have been much afflict-
ed with anxieties. Could I have sec-
ceeded always in paying 100 cents on the
dollar if I had been indifferent and free
from solicitude and from a strong deter-
mination to get into a strong financial
position? My family expenses and op-
portunities to assist in various charities
continued to increase ; and though, after
retiring from business, I endeavored to
invest my capital in the most conserva-
tive securities, so that I should have
a reliable income yet I have met with
losses "here, there, andelsewhere,"
causing me much solicitude and many
anxieties. I have also felt anxiety lest
these troubles should be considered a re-
sult of covetousness; and yet it seems to
me to be the result of habits formed in
my early experience in business, without
which, it seems to me, I never could
have succeeded in always paying my
honest debts, and also accumulating ne-
cessary capital to give my family and
myself many of the enjoyable things of
modern times, and to assist many of the
existing charities and other Christian
work.—Tradesman in the Christian
Union.
Raising Sorghum.
A Kansas farmer who has had con-
siderable experience in raising and feed-
ing sorghum, is quite enthusiastic as to
its merits as a fodder crop. He grows
the Early Amber sort, sows broadcast
one and a fourth bushels of seed, or
drills in one bushel. He cuts when
three or four feet high, and beginning to
show here and there a head, with a
mowing machine; curet thoroughly.
When cut thus early a second crop
nearly or quite as good as the first can
be harvested, or if preferred, the field
affords abundant pasturage at a time
when pastures are generally dried up.
The same care must be exercised in
turning cattle into a sorghum=pasture as
into fresh clover, turning them in for a
short time only till they become accus-
tomed to it. The feed, whether green
or cured, is excellent to stimulate milk
production. It yields from five to six
tons per acre.
New York Elevated Railroads.
In passing by the windows of houses,
.many fleeting glimpses are caught of the
inmates within—each glance a sketch of
their lives. Says an observing conductor;
The most interesting scenes, of course,
are among the houses where the poor
people live. It is wonderful what differ-
ence there is in them. In some I can see
a fire burning cheerfully, the beds all neat
and clean, children clean and contented
looking out of the windows, a clean table-
cloth on the table where the humble fam-
ily supper is spread. When I see all that,
I know at once that some good womau is
blessing a poor man's life. Perhaps in
the same block Pll see a picture entirely
the reverse- of this --rooms dirty. beds
untidy, children unwashed, and often the
sound of strife between husband and wife
making itself heard above the din of the
train. Then 'think, God help the child-
ren in such a home! One gets to feel
quite an acquaintance with certain homes
and certain faces. At one humble attic
window I nsed often to see the face of a
sweet little girl. There were a few pots
of flowers on the ivindow-sill, and the
little girl used to tend them carefully and
they flourished finely. But after a while
I missed the little face and I noticed the
flowers were fading, fading day by day.
At last one day—the flowers were all dead
and withered then—as the train flashed
by I saw a little coffin being carried out
of the door and into the street, and I knew
that my little girl was dead. The empty
flower -pots still stand on that window-
sill, and it always makes nse feel sad to
see them.

Notes for Housekeepers.
People who pay allegiance to fashion
are dyeing their white lace window cur-
tains with some shade of yelloot.
Brass or coppervessels used for stew
ing fruits should be polished while warm,
as they are easier cleaned, to say
nothing of the pleasure to find them
ready for use.
Apple Batter Pudding.—One quart of
milk, four eggs, one pint of flour, one
small teaspoonful salt; three or four
large tart apples cut fine and stirred into
thebatter last. Boil or bake it for one
hour. Eat with sauce. -
Liquid Sauce for Puddings. — Two
tablespoons butter, one cup of sugar and
yolks of two eggs beaten together, just
before wanted pour on slowly two cups
boiling water and stir until dissolved.
Flavor with a little grated nutmeg and -
three tablespoona Catawba syrup which
comes in bottles, or strawberry syrup if
preferred.
Fish Balls.—Cut up eight good sized
potatoes and pick fine one pint of salt
codfish. Put all in cold water and boil
until tender enough to strain through a
colander; add a piece of butter the size
of an egg, a little cream and one egg;
salt if needed. Mash all together and
fry in boiling hot fat. Use a spoonful
for each ball, dipping the spoon in cold
water to prevent the mixture from stick-
ing to the spoon..
Potato Rolls.— Boil six good-sized
potatoes with their jackets; take them
out with a skimmer, draM and squeeze
with a towel to insure being dry; then
remove the skin, mash, them perfectly
'free from lumps, add a tablespoonful of
butter, the yolks of three egos and a
pint of sweet mill. When cool beat in
a teaspoonful of yeast. Put in just
i
enough flour to make a stiff dough.
When thititrises n ake into small cakes.
Let them rise the same as biscuit, and
bake a delicate brown. i
Grease Eradicator.—Soft-soap and ful-
ler's earth, of eaeh half a pound; beat
well together in a mortar and form into
cakes. The spot, after being moistened
with water, is rubbed with the cake and
allowed to dry, vrhen it is well rubbed
with a little warm water and rinsed or
rubbed off clean.
Fried Potatoes.—Peel and wash your
potatoes-; have ready in your frying -pan
grease, hot; slice the
sprinkle enough salt
on, give them a good
and cover. Do not let
some fried meat
potatoes thinly,
over them to sea
stir with a knife
them fry too fast ; stir often from the
bottom. Whee done they will be a nice
brown. Sweet app1es steamed are far
better than baked.
