CLOVan SEIDIN.-At this time I
can scarcely believe any oie desires to
dispute the value of red clover Its anll
important ianurial agent In aeiricliiig
worn-outt land; In fact I consider it ile
cliepest fertilizer a farmer canl apply
to h1 Is laud, espe-elal I 1y lin sCh land as is
suitable to growth. When clover seed
nay be obtalnod as at present, for only
about $4 00 per bushel, every fainer
should plan to seed down as may iaciure
as possible during the coming spring,
since It seeis hardly probable thnt, so
low a figuro will be reached again for
se(d In several years, especitilly It (lie
ravages of the lisect, working iI Ite
seeds of clover should be widespread
and as destructive as was the case iI
this section durIig the past sum1nier
afld autumn. Many firiiiners have ai
Idea that, clover should be sown only
upon fall-sown wheat, or rye. This Is
it V ronig limprerson , as I hav. seei
equally ail good citehes when sown
with oats, spring wheat antd batirley.
Ivlen liutemdlig to seed witlh spln'
graini, a less qiuaintity of 1lie griin
slotild be sown, and if the grouid Is
mellow, sow the clover and go over'
wIt,i Ia Thlioias or brulisI liirrow filter

lug section, sow the clover on previouis
to he last harrowing, and as the back
wheat will ailord the younig clover a
g oulr hallefroi the heat. of' (lie sti.

MAYou oF BAO oon.-The other day,
while BIjah was dusting off 'hairs and
growling about the iear approach of
next winter, III camet a man who intro
duced himself as Mayor of Bangor. Ile
spit all over the stove hearth and sa(d
he had often heard of Bijah. lie
rtbbed his nuddy feet against tle base
board and observed that he had come
live hundred nilies out of his way on
purpose to shake the old Janitor's haud.
lie had some three-ecent cigars, arid it
wasn't long before lie made such a good
improsion that Bijah lent lim six dol
lars. lie was to pay it back that eve
ning, but when lie was walked iI,
about ten o'clock, drunk as a sea cap
tain, lie had niothing left. lie wasn't
even Mayor of Bangor any lo'nger. On
the contrary, le gave his name as
Timothy 0'llale, and said hehhad been
in the soap business iII Bual o. Bijah
sat down in front of him and tried to
convine him that lie was a liar, horse
thief, swindlor and imposter, but the
" late Mayor '' had his own ideas aud
couldn't be argued out of then.
" I'll have you sent up for ten thous
and years I ' was the oft-repeated
threat of the old janitor, andi even
when court opened lie wouldn't knock
oil but one thousaId year rorn the im
pending sentence. Whien ho stepped
foz ward to be sworn.the Courtinquired :
"Mr. Joy, have you been natutral
ized ?"
"Naturalized I Why, I was born in
this country 1"
" Were, eh ? Have you ever been con
victed of conspiracy against the gov
ornitient?''
Never I"
Do you know the nature of an
oat,l ?''
Bijah swallwed three or four thnes
and lie said he thought he did.
" Well, then, go ahead, but don't
wring if aniytiing about MexIlo. I
wiint a plain statencellt, of facts-facts.
Mr. Joy."
iah was very red in the face as lie
began his story. W hen Ike was through
the prisoner turned and denied that he
borrowed six dolit r, or that lie elained
to be the Mayor of Bangor, and lie ap
pealed to the court to kniow if the testi
Iiolly of a Inan with such a phiiiz On
him was any bettor than a prisoni 's
stat illellt.
From the evidence put in I cannot

I found it essential to success ini rear
Ing birds from the nest to watch the
parent bird and find what food it select
ed for its young. rhat of all the finches,
sparrows and wrens was -naked-skinned
worms and graeshopoiers. The indigo
finch, which I at fIrst failed to rear, I
found was fed soluly with white grass
hoppers (I. e., with grasshoppers which
had just molted), after. which I found
it very easy to raise, ahd that it proved
to be a very exeollenticage-bird. All
the birds fed readily ulpoii bmall grass
hoppers and large-sized worms, anr in
every case died after being fully grown,
from my inability to make' the proper
change in thef'r food. ' The finches and
sparrows. would take to seed-eating as
soon as they left the nest and their bills
were hardened. Wrens, unddr my ob
servAtioh, fed theli yOung almost exclu
sively with small, smooth larvw, taken
from the undersides of the leaves of cur
rant bushes, brambles, etc., and I have
set for a long time aid counted the
worms brought to a nest, the average
being flive worms in two minutes. This
was a iiest of the common house wren,
when the supply of food was abundant
in a neighboring row of currant bushes.
These also were easily reared in the nest.
All the young birds took naturally to
water when fully grown, except the
ground or grass flnch, which would
bathe only in fine sand, but would keel
itself in excellent condition and. was a
very ii.teresting cage-bird. The com

took to eating seed readily, became at

ively fat, and would then often have
epileptic fits, recurring at frequent in
tervals, death always following.' Tih
cat bird was an inveterate mimic, at
tempting to do and sing whatever I
saw or heard done by the other birds
in its compartment' of the cage.' The
wren was a thorough busybody an(
studious of nature, Investigating witi
a very knowing and Inquiring lool
every corner and crevice of the cagc
and every act, (i' Its associates. A paih
of blue buds kept themselves inviolatU

where the pair could perch themqelve
