What He Does for the Farmer Despite
 His Reputation.

His Reputation.
 If farmers would make a study of natural history and its bearings on their property-the relation of hawks to their hen coops, for instance-there would be better paying crops.
 The Year Book of the department of agriculture tells about COW black birds and what they eat. About 2,300 of their stomachs have been examined, and of these 2,25S contained food. The birds were killed in 26 states. Forty eight per cent. of the food was animal, AS per cent. vegetable and four per cent. was mineral. The blackbird has a variety of things it eats.
 ''The animal food,'' says the report, ''consisted of insects, spiders, myria- pods (thousand legs), crawfish, earth worms, sowbugs, hair snakes, snails. fishes, tree toads, salamanders (newts), lizards, snakes, birds eggs and mice.' To these might have been added young birds, fish cast up by the tide, minnows caught while swimming in shallow water, and probably meat and carrion of various kinds. Most of the animal food is, of course, insects. These con- stitute 46 per cent. of the total, the other two per cent. being the larger things, like mice. The animal food is taken mostly in the summer. In win ter the food is mostly vegetable matter. The insects the bird kills more than make up the damage he does, especially as his nest robbing appears to be only an accidental habit not often indulged in. A large flock of the birds would of course destroy a lot of grain. Some 50,000 would eat about 5000 pounds a day, but they would consume as many insects, which would more than de. stroy the amount the birds do.

For your Protection Catarrh "Cures" or Tonics for Catarrh in liuuid form to be taken

For your PrOtecti0n.-Catarrh "Cures" or Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken internally, usually contain either Mercury or Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur- ious if long taken. Oatarrh is local, not blood disease, caused by sudden change to cold or damp weather. It starts inthe nasal passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat. Cold in the head causes excessive flow of mucus. and, if repeatedly neglected, the re- suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for these troubles and contains no mercury nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents.

Railway Stations in Russia.

It is a peculiarity of the Russian rail- ways that their stations are generally two miles distant from the towns and villages which they serve. This is said to be on account of the danger of fire, the houses in small places generally be- ing thatched with straw.

Diamond Duties Too High.

Importers Of diamonds in this
city are endeavoring to have the
duty on diamonds and precious
stones restored to its former basis.
Their argument in support OF their
assertion that the present duty is
unwise is that 1t has increased
smuggling. They contend that
the present duty, 10 per cent on
uncut and % per cent on cut
stones, makes it worth while TAX
ing the risk Of attempting to bring
the gems in surreptitiously. The
former tariff was 10 per cent on
cut stones, while uncut gems were
admitted free. 1t is asserted that,
Notwithstanding the fact that
the duty has been increased, the
yearly revenue to the government
from importations Of precious
stones has fallen OF 100000. This
sum the diamond men claim
would be saved and mora, too, were
the tariff restored u it's former
basis.-Mail and Exptess.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.-The one

"THERE, COL DARN YE."-Deacon
Blank, of the town of Lee, Me-, own
ed large farm, and hired, among
other hands, man by the name
of Jacob. The deacon had bargained
that jacob should have bread and milk
for supper every night, but took good
care that the milk was carefully
skinned, the cream for the cream pot
and the skim milk for Jacob.
Jacob ate his bread and blue milk
three evenings without a murmur.
The next morning the deacon was
awakened by a great conlmotion in
the barn-yard. Looking out, he saw
Jacob hanging to his best Jerseys tail
with one hand, while with the other
he belabored her with bean pole as
she flew around the inclosure. "There,
gol darn you," said Jacob, "don't you
ever dare to give me another drop OF
milk as long as you live" And
the deacon took good care that she
didn't.

AMONG THE PoULTRY.-The lest
age to begin to feed fowls for fattening
is as soon as they are fully matured.
Preventing diseases among the poul-
try is safer than curing. Good food,
pure water, clean quarters prevent
disease.
A good egg will sink in water. Stale
eggs are glossy and smooth of shell.
Boiling the milk that is fed to fowls
will increase its value and lessen the
risk of its causing disease.
If properly managed hen will lay
her weight in eggs in year, but to do
this she requires proper material in
feeding.
Hempseed and sunfower seeds fed
to fowls help to make the plumage
smooth and glossy.
Nothing is more fatal to profitable
poultry keeping than overcrowding es-
pecially in winter, when the fowls
must be more or less confined.
Fowls that have a good variety OF
food do not require artificial stlmu-
lants to induce them to lay or to keep
them in good health.
In nearly all cases fowls should have
their grain scattered. Picking it from
the ground will not only afford them
exercise but also give opportunity for
all to get share.
A thrifty turkey can be made very
fat in 10 days by liberal feeding with a
good lattening ration, but the turkey
must not be kept confined too long or
it will begin to lose.

HOW To CURE A COLD.

When one becomes chilled, or takes
cold, the mouths of myriads of little
sweat glands are suddenly closed, and
the impurities which should pass of
through the skin are forced back to
the interior of the body, vitiating the
blood and putting extra work on the
lungs and other internal organs.
Just beneath the surface of the skin,
all over the body, there is a network
of minute blood vessels, finer than the
finest lace. When one is chilled, the
blood is forced from these capillary
vessels into one or more of the internal
organs, producing Inflammation or con-
gestion, and thus often causing diseases
dangerous to life.
The time to treat a cold, says a
writer in The Youths Companion, is
at the earliest possible moment after
you have taken it. And your prime
object should he to restore the perspir-
alton and. capillary circulation.
AS soon, then, as you feel that you
have taken cold, have good fire in
your bedroom. Put your feet into as
hot water as can be borne and contain
ing tablespoonful of mustard. Have
it in vessel so deep that the water
will come up toward the knees. Throw
blanket over the whole to prevent
evaporation and cooling. In from 5 to
10 minutes, take the feet out, wipe
them dry and get into bed in which
there are two extra blankets.
Just before or after getting into bed
drink large glass of lemonade as hot
as possible, or glass of water contain
ing a teaspoonful of cream of tartar,
with little sugar added if desired.
Should there be pain in the chest,
side or back, indicating pleurisy or
pneumonia, dip small towel in cold
water and wiring it as dry as possible.
Fold the towel so that it will cover a
little more surface than is affected by
the pain. Cover this with piece OF
flannel, and both with oiled silk, or
better, with oiled linen !; now wind a
strip of flannel a foot wide several
times around the chest.
The heat of the body will warm the
towel almost Immediately, the oiled
linen and flannel will retain the heat
and moisture, and steaming the part,
will generally cause the pain to disap-
pear.
Should there be pain or soreness in
the throat, you should treat it in a
similar manner with wet compress and
flannel bandage.
Eat sparingly of plain, simple food.
Baked apples and other fruit, bread and
butter, bread and milk, milk and toast,
baked potatoes, or raw oysters may be
eaten.
By following the above directions in
telligently and faithfully you will or
dinarily check the progress of a cold,
and prevent serious, probably fatal
illness.
