In summing up the work of the catbird
for one year. he asks the question: Will
the destruction of a given number Of ants
pay for three times that quantity of the
smaller garden fruits2' The beneficial
elements eaten by this bird in year he
places AT forty one per cent and the in
furious elements only fifteen per cent.
This is rather a damaging statement, but
it is modified bv the fact that the food OF
its young is not taken into consideration
and as this food is largely insect, the forty
one per cent would be cut down to some
extent, at least.
Taking up the brown thrush next, he
finds the food for one year consists almost
wholly of insects, the other half of small
fruits and farm grains and seeds. 1t rates

Soda in Cooking.

They have been carrying on quite dis
cussion in the Ohio Farmer on the question
whether soda as used in cooking is hurtfu
or not Some of the writers have beer
very sharp on the matter. and attribute to
its use most of the dyspepsia which tor
ments so many of our people, while other,
excuse its use or ridicule the opposition
to it.
Fanny Field had few words on the
matter, in which she favors the unwhole
someness of the drug. which she sets forth
pretty strongly. But the chief nutrn ion
lies in her preface, which we give below
Mr.. Taylor is quite sure that he preiu
dice against soda Is simply whimsical
fancy" because the ladies' in spite of the
cutlery against ii, continue sleadfast in il,
use." He is also quite sure that the dear
creatures would not use it if they had
particle of faith in its "allpged death
producing qualities" Oh no! of course
they would not. Who ever heard of a
woman that kept on doing anything after
she found out that it WAS contrary to tin,
laws of health? Just tell the girl who

knowledge of Dr. Horne, and Of others /
who have declared soda unwholesome, | |
am quite sure that they "looked into tile

TRAINING TOMATOES. The tomato cror

eaten for salad or sauce, and are still more
useful for fltvoring soups and other dishes.
In the east they have been used for long

SANITY to he sun. The sun is essential to
the perfection of the fruit rs much as with
cherries or apples. 1t is often excluded
from the tomatoes by the rank growth OF
vines and leaves, and so the fruit is SLOW
in coming to perfection. Indeed it never
does come to perfection without the rlpun.
ing influence of the suns rays.
Another great advantage of training
/ natoes in the manner suggested is that
they are kept out of the dirt, are always
clean and ready Tor use and are not liable
to rot. The common mode of letting the
plants take care of themselves, and the
fruit lie on the ground, exposes the toma |
