A FEW HINTS TO FARMERS.
SaRgaUBi Fram Thase Who Hin
Agrlcultare Pay.
I had but littto trouble in driving
?ery sparrow from my place in Vir
ginia, and I believe there is no rea
son why it cannot be done on every
farm. The very Mgacity 0f this
bird nakes it possible. And cer
tainly it is worti trying for, since
trie sparrow not only feeds princi
rallr on crainnd eata f-w imuwro
but be drives away iisect-feeding
irue,
"Doing away with the parrow,;
according te tne Agricultural Sa-
aette, of New South Wales, "has in
some instances m Enelaod resulted
in a decrease in insect psta, because
the native insect-eating birds have
oeen enabled to feed an peace and
have returned to their old haunts
around farms, orchards and .garden
which they were uotable to do when
the sparrows had possession. This
as a matter of common observation
in the United States. The English
spanow is an eternal scrapper.
Now, as to the way to get trld of J
mem on me luroo. in a town or
city it is impracticable, bet ou
faim all that is needed is a gun and
a little persistence. My own puui
lire nienouo consisted ill sing up
u oi ov do cuj through a suiail
22 aiber rille. There were six .otr
seven pi.iis of 8rrows on tbe plat?.
After three or fwr got their leaden
doses th1 others became exceedingly
wary. The. warfare was oontinueu,
ho we 'er,wuhout missing a day, in
oluding con:e very long chaoce nhnts,
made troiu the interior of the rowiis.
I think it whs tKt more than two
weeks after the ()eniii .f ibecain
paign that the Ust sparrow winged
au indignant flight to some more
peaceful locality., und lieyond e stray
visit once in aw tide the place bar",
bored no more narrows for three
years. The killuig coininenoed in
the early bieedkig seato:i, spring,
and the birds ruutle up tlieir minds
that things were -entirely too streii
UOQ! for the successful breeddng of
the four or five broods. The pUct
hasa'ways been full of the bird.,
and I cannot say for sure th t the
other birds increased after tbe exit
of the sparrows; oertainly there wa
Jess bird lighting about the house
and tne wrens and bluebiids built
regularly under the piazz roof.
Twi-.hu da of tihe sparrows were
.scared away, not 4silld. What de
termined me to hostility was when a
pair of them tore a bluebirds nest
io pieces and proceeded to appropri
ate tbe location to the piausa.

.AXlttle Sermaa aa tb IIapploM of
Balitf Paor.
There was a wonan once who bad
an alabaiter box ef ointment, and
he poured this box of ointment
wr the head of the Master as he
sat at meat in an humble hoiue at
Bethany.
No sooner was Jke act witnessed
than it gave veut to an objection:
"To what pupoee is this waste?"
The men who saw it regarded this
act as simply throwing away mate
rial that had com ner;ial value.
We are apt to tfeiuk of gifts in
dollai and cents. We see or want
to see money in everything that we
do.
We Are money-mad and being o
we are apt to color our vision with
it.
It is do new infirmity, but it geU
much attention nowadays and drive
away tbe sweetness and beauty or
life. Life can be made happy with
out very much money or without
empbabiziag this element.
Take the little that you are get
ting and take enjoyment in its us.
Ii may be hrl discipline to do th s
ana uay dem ai eouur ige ai d
tience in the trial. But it is worth
trying. Tbe man who has a littl"
can more readily get the seciet of
enjoying life than tbe man who has
much and wants more.
It is this everlss iri desire to get
more and make a btttr showing
that is oppressing so many minds in
these days and driving them to self
destrncnon. Wealth does not bring continued
bappiuees. It is no rtal pleasure to
think of ways and means to spend a
large income.
It is the man of small means who
can be happy if be will safeguuid
his condition with simple tastes and
desires.
He cau look beyond money. He
can make his pleasures apurt from
Bis mateiial possessions. He cau
think away from the claims of riches
and enter a held of pleasure whicn
be can sow with bis own seeds of
experienc drawn from his personal
battbs aud struggles.
How to be happy though poor is
cne dream of tbe imagination. It is
this class who are really happy in
life today, when they tak their little
and make it go far and then think
they have done the bent with its use.
This woman gave up ointment
worth fifty dollars, the annual wages
of ore uihd in tbse days. She
made herself happy in tbe act, even
though ehe made herself happy by
the eaur'fice.
This in the ti ue secret of living
making yourself happy and it can
be. don upon the basis of having lit
tle more than npon the necessity of
havim? much.
To learn this will let tunehine
and peace into the humblest hpuie
and keep it radiant with the joys
that the mere possession of money
does not give and cannot give. At
lanta Georgian.
