A COMMUNAL QUARREL.
Two English Birds That Acted In q
Sngularly Human Way.

Two English Birds That Acted IN q
Singularly Human Way.
In the yard of Scranton bird student
a pair of English sparrows began few
weeks ago to get ready to 60 to house
keeping. They took up their abode in
little box that was fastened to the top
Of pole. Other sparrows undertook to
occupy the box, but the pugnacious first
corners soon drove them away, and from
that time on the plucky pair fixed up
their household and got every thing in
readiness to raise family without be-
ing disturbed by their apparently envi-
Gus neighbors.
When the industrious birds were near
~ ready to settle down to quiet mar
ried life, an accident happened that
caused row between the pair. One day
before the female had begun to sit, her
husband fitted away and was gone
good deal longer than usual During
his absence the female busted herself
by flying from the nest to the yard and
hack, adding finishing touches to her
household and sprucing things up inside
Of the box. BY and by Mr.. Sparrow re-
turned. but he didn't look as neat and
natty as he did whom he sailed away.
In some way he had lost all of his tail
feathers while he was gone, and his wife
wouldn't have any thing to do with him
or let him enter the house. He seemed
to try to explain matters to her, but she
wouldn't listen to him at all, chirped at
him spitefully, and fought him when
ever he attempted to approach her.
The student knew that the bobtailed
bird was the rightful husband by pecu-
liar mark on his head, and he watched
tho result of the family trouble with
deep interest For two days the I'M
happy husband coaxed and begged bis
wife to treat him as she had formerly
done, but his pleadings made her all tho
moro determined to get rid of him for
good. All at once the bobtailed spar
row disappeared, and has never been
seen around there since. The female
continued to occupy the box, and inside
Of three days she got another husband,
set up housekeeping anew, and in due
time Matched out q nest full Of Httle
ones.-N. Y. Sun.
An Historic Town Site.
The site of the famous old settlement
and the ruins Of the old church Of
jamestown, Va, is rendered interesting
from the fact that it was held through
all the years of struggle and warfare,
famiae, death and discussions which
filled the first struggling years Of the
colony. The first trial by jury was at
Jamestown, the first church was erected
there, the first American book written
from jamestown, the first legislative
body that ever sat in America assembled
in 1919 at jamestown, and last, not least
by any means, the first repulse tho
British Government ever received at the
hands of Americans occurred at James,
town, when Nathaniel Bacon drove tho
bloody tyrant Berkely out of the city, and
burnt the palace and NEST of empire"

frame, and plank both the outside and
inside of the same. But no frame build
ing can be put together that will resist
the pressure of inclosed contents, and
be as easily made air-tight as one built
after this plan. Witness the immense
grain elevators that stand throughout
the Northwest, some of them holding
their millions of bushels of grain in
bins located away up hundred feet
from the bottom Of their walls, which
are built up with inch boards placed fat
sides together, one above the other.
The silo walls are lined on the inside
with tarred paper, over which one-inch
boards placed perpendicularly are
nailed, making perfectly alright wall.
If the builder had any fears of frost en-
tering such a wall, after lacking on the
building-paper let him nail on inch
strips to which to nail the inside boards.
Do the farmers of the South know the
value of sorghum as fodder plant for
nearly all stock? Has any grower found
out that it can be cut twice, and posi-
bly, thrice, in season. If the tame
grasses do not thrive in this warm eli
mate, here is plant that will, together
with little bran and corn meal, furnish
q suitable ration, and more of it than
any other with which l am familior. 1t
can be cut twice Chat we know, and
used in its green state; it can be sliced,
and will furnish an excellent ration for
mich cows during the winter and GSrly
spring months. Feed it to young horses
once a day; hogs thrive on it, and sheep
love it dearly.

A Simple but Excellent Device for Draw

In most localities, says q writer in
Farm and Home, people are looking for
something on which to draw their
fodder corn to their silos and feeding
lots at this time of the year. l have
tried all devices, and good sled upon
the snow can hardly be improved upon,

shown in the drawing. Two straight
poles sixteen feet long and four inches
thick at the butt should be bored in
three places; first two feet from the
butt end, second at the small end and
third time a short distance from the
small end.
The front wheels should be taken off
heavy wagon and the reach should be
removed. Next put in a short reach or
piece of scantling which will extend
back about one foot. Bore three-quar-
ter inch hole near the end of this and
pin it to a goose neck. Next lay the

poles, small ends on q bolster, two inches
from the standard and fit in cross-piece
as shown, to go through the goose neck.
After shaping it to the holes in the poles
pin it closely. Put q small round in the
two holes which are near the tips of the
poles.
The first piece inserted should be
strong, as by it the improvised sled is to
be drawn. A round should also be put
in through the holes at the thick end of
the poles. The poles should be boarded
from this round up five or six feet to-
ward the small end to prevent stubs or
stumps from catching the fodder which
is to be thrown across the poles for
hauling. This is convenient for fodder
and other bulky and heavy materials
like apple barrels, cider barrels, etc.
The poles resting on the front bolster
make it handy to turn, and the entire
arrangement is drawn from the reach
and king-pin the same as wagon.
