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. • Grey.

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. • Bede in Old Times. Two hundred years and more ago the beds in England ere bags filled with 'straw or leaves, ut not upholstered or squared with mo ern neatness. Young nem and guests s ept in the great hall, which was the o ly noticeable room in the house; on tab es or benches. ' Wool- en coverlids were provided for warmth; poles or hooks on which they could hang their clothes prdeected from the wall; perches were pro f ided for their hawks.
