PRESERVE THE BIRDS.

PRESERVE THE BIRDS.
The destruction of the birds has be-
come so serious a matter that many
of the most thoughtful minds of the
country have anxiously considered
means by which this wanton slaughter
may be stayed. We have the testimony
of the leading scientists of the United
States to show that, unless the killing
of birds soon ceases, only very brief
time will elapse before the feathered
tribe viii become extinct. In such
event the evil consequences to our ag-
ricultural interests are past all compu-
tation. The destruction of our crops
by myriads of insects will be as disas-
trous as was the fearful famine which
has just devastated India,
70 avert such a calamity various
plans have been devised. Among the
statesmen who have become interested
in this matter are Hon. George T.
Hoar, senator from Massachusetts, and
Hon. John F. Lacey, representative
from Iowa both of whom have intro
duced bills in congress relating to the
question. Mr.. Hoar's bill provides re-
strictions upon the importation Of the
bodies or plumage of certain birds; and
upon the transportation of the same
between the several states. Exception
is made in the case of the ostrich and
some other birds whose pIumes can be
taken without the loss of life. Senator
Hoar's bill has passed the senate and
now goes to the house. This bill is
numbered Senate 4124''
Mr.. Lacey's (house) bill provides for
extending the powers and duties of the
commission of fish and fisheries so as
to include game birds and other wild
birds useful to man "by the propaga-
ton, transportation, introduction and
restoration" of such birds. If you are
a friend to the birds and to the agri-
cultural interests of your country.

members of congress asking them to
vote for these bills.

shipping Lambs to Europe.

The shipment of lambs to Europe
from Wyoming ranches opens up new
market for the products of the trans
Missouri country and establishes a
trade between the Rocky Mountains
and England which cannot but be pro-
ductive of profit to many classes Of
people, says the National Provisioner.
These lambs were bred and raised in
Wyoming and fattened in Nebraska.
They are said to be too fat for the
American taste. and hence their ship
ment to England, where that quality
of mutton is In demand. The lambs
are of the Hampshire breed and, be-
ing of high grade, their great size and
weight is the more easily accounted
for. If this export shipment is a sue
cess more are certain to follow. A few
years ago the mere suggestion that fai
lambs would be shipped from Wyo.

Checking Fungold pisn.,.,.. .

The task of fighting f'saE,iI dis
eases is great one, and increases with
every delay. A professor ia the asst
made some tests to l$art II insects can
carry disease from one diseased plant
to another. He put some potato bugs
onto a potato vine diseased with the
rot. The bug was then taken to other
and perfectly healthy vines and went
to eating them. They infected the new
vines with the rot. When we take
into consideration the fact that insects
feed upon all of our fruit trees and in
some cases literally swarm upon them
we see the great difficulty of stopping
the spread Of leaf diseases. This is
probably more the case with insects
that feed on the leaves than of any
other. The only remedy is to spray
our trees before being attacked. If
the insects are not able to feed upon
them by reason of the poison In the
spraying material they certainly can
not infect the trees with diseases
brought from distant localities. BY
the aid of science we may hope sue
cessfully to fight all fungoid diseases
It must be remembered that no dis
eases are new, so far as we can tell
We must assume they they have beer
in the world for countless centuries
and yet have not been able to entirely
! possess our plants. This should en-

The Question of Water.

There is no one question that has
greater importance in its relation to
agriculture than that of water. Sue
cess and failure come largely accord
ing to the amount Of time of water
received. In some parts of the coun-
try the land and water questions are
indissolubly linked. The first is Of no
value unless the latter can be also con-
trolled. This applies to regions where
irrigation must be depended on to
give the needed moisture. II 1t were
not possible to divert water from the
main supply. even to the nearest land,
the latter would at once lose Its value
for agricultural purposes. We, as a
people, have tried to get along with
what nature has given us in the way
OF water supply. Our emigrants have
gone TO the plains of Western Kansas,
Nebraska, Colorado, the Dakotas. New
Mexico, Arizona and California, and
have at first tried to depend on the

clouds or on the mountain streams.
During some of the years they have
succeeded In getting crops. but In
other years their hopes have vanished
with the last vestige Of the moisture.
Within the last decade the problem
has been taken hold of In earnest. Be-
fore that time there was great deal
of speculation as to what could be done
by irrigation on large scale, but lit
tie heed was paid to these theories by
practical men, who are always slow to
move before theory has been demon
strated. OF late years there has been
a great advance, with promises of great
things In the future. Our whole great
West is full of possibilities. Arid as
are the regions, there is enough water
going to waste from first to last to
turn the whole into veritable garden.
The storms come and the floods pre-
vail, rushing down the rivers and
streams, tearing our mems improve
ments," and sweeping away crops. In
a few days the waters have passed into
the great sea, and the lands over which
they have passed bake and crack I'M

time is not far distant when the worn

and we lose crops over wide areas TO,

can often be done at small expense.

Nature of Sandy Soil.-Sand has q
great power for the transportation OF
water. 1t will convey water quicker
than any other soil, but 1t will not
hold as much. A clay soil will hold
more, but water will pass through
more slowly. Sandy soils take in all
the rA:Ms that fall, and If there is a
subterrsaean supply within ten or If
teen fset Of the surface 1t seems to
have a power to pump the water up
to the roots of the plants. If, how
ever, there is no such supply, the
higher temperature Of summer will
usually increase the temperature Of the
top sandy soil and gradually dry II
out faster than fine, clayey soil. Clay
will hold more moisture, and hold II
longer than any other form of soil
but It must be protected by surfact
cultivation.-Ex.

Big Records with Few Hens.-We are
constantly reading of big records as to
profits being made by few hens. This
is due largely to the fact that in small
flock the chances are greatly in favor
of the hens having proper treatment
They get the kind of food necessary to
keep them in good condition. They get
a great variety of food, usually the Ia
BILE scraps, and, lastly, they have more
room in which to pick up green vegeta-
bles and bugs. Then, too, they have
more chance to exercise. Added tt
this the immunity from diseases ant
we have a combination that produces
good results. The same thing may b
