Get His Money Back.
There is an unanimity a:nong
horse dealers 9ometimei as well
as other people. A week or two
sfeo a sale took place here. A
Mr. White, from the country,
Ljught one, Da -'' $65 for him.
In lassoing the horse the trader
crippled him for which he hand
ed the new owner a $20 bill. Lat
er on the horse died, ?.ni Mr.
White went to Sanford to see
the trader about it, as he was
supposed to be the cause of the
horse's death. Mr. White was
promptly paid the balance ot
the purchase money, his railroad
fare and his hotel bill while in
Sanford. Hats off to that horse
trader; Chatham Record.
as it is so spacious, and Duiit
in such a durable style, it is ex
pected that it will continue to
shelter more than one family of
birds each year. Two good-old-fashioned
martin boxes were re
ceived, made by Graydon John
son and James Kivett, and it is
hoped may be inhabited this
year. The bird house made, by
Clifford Morris was made after
the pattern of the "Berlepsch"
nest" boxes, pictures of- which
were shown to the school chil
dren. The real "Berlepsch" nest
boxes are made by Baron Hans
von Berlepsch, the great. German
bird lover., who, after years of
experimenting with bird houses
invented a machine that would
hollow out logs in such a way
that the cavaties were practical
ly facsimiles of the natural bur
rows of Woodpeckers, Nuthat
ches, etc. His success is describ
ed as almost startling. More
than 90 percent of the four
thousand and more bird houses
were not only occupied, but the
birds paid their keep by keeping
jhis estate "SSebach" free from
insect pests which laid waste the
surrounding country. The Prus
sian Board of Agriculture took
notice and caused extensive ex
periments to be made with the
result that they had 9,300 hung
up in the woods of the Grand
Duchy of Hesse and from 70 to
80 per cent used the first year.
The Haincich woods having been
stripped entirely bare by larvae
of a moth in the spring of 1905,
while the woods of Baron von
Berlepsch in which there were
nesting boxes was untouched and
looked like an oasis in a desert.
In the opinion of the gentle
men who acted asjudges, they
took into account the boy's own
workmanship, and the time al
lowed, four weeks, conditions
which were not fulfilled, and de
cided the fairest award would be
to ask for the equivalent of the (
second prize for each of the four
as they were all closely allied.
The interest shown by many
in the subject of birds is a hope
ful sign, for thejf uture preserva
tion of our bird life.
