William T.. Praeger Of the Univer-
sity OF Illinois. says
Before the days Of scientific investl-
cation enactments against the birds
as destroyers Of fruit and grain we're
not rare. In 1890 Bridgewater. Mass,
successfully exterminated the greater
part Of her bird population. deterlora-
tion OF nearly all crops was the Inn
mediate result and the policy towards
the birds was quickly changed. 10
Virginia and Carolina at one time war
was especially waged on the wood
peckers TIL II was found that the for
ests and orchards we're suffering from
wood-boring insects. During the
French revolutions guns came for the
frst time into the hands Of the people
and great scarcity Of food prevailed,
so All birds we're indiscriminately
shot; the effects on orchards fields
and vineyards were soon 50 apparent
that. IN many districts, stringent laws
for their protection we're enforced.
Prussia once, believing Il would bene-
At agriculture, ordered a tax Of twelve
birds heads to be paid annually
By each farmer; it took Prussia just
two years to learn by sad experience
the error Of her ways. I could enumer-
ate many such instances. Even with
In the present decade a committee OF
the house OF commons. appointed TO
investigate a plague Of field mice that
was destroying the crops in several
counties IN the British Isles, reported
that It was chiefly due to the scarcity
OF owls and hawks, so recommended
the protection Of birds Of prey.
We Of Illinois may congratulate
ourselves that birds have not disap-
peared from our land as they have
from other less fortunate districts. It
Is true birds are fewer than they used
10 be. but this decrease IS chiefly
among the larger species. Lovers Of
nature may regret that so many in
teresting forms are disappearing. and
the increasing scarcity Of game birds
and waterfowls will deprive as Of an
important food supply: but It IS the
small birds OF the nclu ana oithaiu
IN which the farmer Is most interested
and these, save in a very few localities
are practically as numerous as ever.
But the same causes are now at work
that have elsewhere produced such
serious consequences. Our population
is increasing. our cities are growing.
the prairies are titled. the woods and
marshes are disappearing. Whatever
Its effect on the birds we look with
righteous pride on the material growth
of our state. But there is another side
to the picture on which We must look
with feelings far otherwise than pride.

Eapsnslvs Poison Tor Potato mug.

Expensive Poison FOR Potato Bugi.
The Maine Experiment Station. in
bulletin 6S. takes up the question Of
poisons for potato beetles. Il reports
50 adversely on bug Death" a patent
insecticide. that anyone reading the
bulletin will certainly not buy the
powder named In part it says:
Whatever value the material has Is
dependent upon the strong dislike
which the bugs show for It, rather
than to any insecticldal qualities
which it may have. The price as ad-
vertised ranges from IS cents for a
single pound to cents IN the largest
package which the company puts out.
AT the rate applied In these expert
ments It would cose $500 per acre for
the material for each application. Two
applications fortnight apart would
be needed to keep the potatoes free
from bugs When applied to vines not
covering the ground an application at
the rate Of 40 pounds per acre was
without effect. 60 it would seem that
the second application must be as great
as the first. To partly protect would
cost for the Bug Death $500 per acre.
while to thoroughly protect against
bugs would cost $1,000 for materials.
The Perfection Shaker" IS a covered
tin dish with small holes IN the bot
tom. Applied with this shaker a man
would be kept very busy and might de-
velop a lame wrist In the attempt to
apply 100 pounds IN one day. In
Aroostook county there are in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 acres OF pota-
toes on which the bugs must be killed
within a few days time. In the presl-
Dental election Of 1896 the county
polled 6,472 votes. Il would take ten
days for these voters to protect the
potato plants from bugs applying Bug
Death With the Perfection shaker. A
farmer growing 20 to 50 acres would
find It impossible to get the help neces-
sary to apply Bug Death at the right
time
One pound Of Paris green. or other
arsenites applied at two different times
win do all the work Of 200 pounds OF
Bug Death. The Paris green can be
applied With power sprayer at the rate
OF 20 to 30 acres a day, and a thorough
application Of Bordeaux mixture can
be applied at the same time with only
the added cost OF materials (about 40
to IS cents an acrel. Reckoning a
mans time at 10 cents an hour It would
cost ct least for materials and labor
SIS an acre to apply Bug Death twice.
For $3.50 an acre can be treated four
times with Bordeaux mixture and a re-
liable poison.

In the battle with weeds the hIst
point is not to let weed seeds be car
ried onto bare land Foli this reason
there are fields where bare falloWs are
never advisable. as. for illustration. p
field adjoining a road oYerrun with
weeds The practice Of leaving land
thus bare is very often the cause OF
the same land being subsequently

compost where the seeds would be

the next best thing and prevent the
seeds from getting into the manure

Of course, more difficult to destroy
than are the ANIMALS, and frequently
have to be given special attention
Flowing is the strongest measure that
can be used against them, but many
Of the larger weeds will have to be

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


The remnant il the once-powerful
tribe Of Seminole Indians comes in for

who have taken up their homes in
Florida. writes a Miami. Florida, cor
respondent Of the Chicago News Rec
ord. Those who are supposed to know
say there are not more than 900 of
them left. and they are hidden away
in the everglades. very seldom maxi
ing their appearance among the white
settlers. That they do not increase in
number is owing to the fact, so It IS
said. that the ravages OF disease among
children have sadly thinned their
ranks. They are unable 10 understand
the nature Of many Of their afiictions.
do not know how to treat them, and
In consequence the race IN Florida
threatens 10 become extinct.
The tribe was originally a yagrant
offshoot Of the Creeks. They gave
great trouble to the early settlers OF
Georgia and Florida. and after a tedi-
GUS war an attempt was made 70 re-
move the remains Of the tribe to In
dian Territory. This. however was
an undertaking never fully accomplish
ed. For years they hid themselves in
the dense foliage Of the everglades.
In recent years the interior department
has endeavored 10 get title to some
Florida land with a view to turning Il
over 10 the Seminoles. bnt up 10 a
few months ago the abstracts OF the
tracts offered we're not considered sat-
isfactory by the department The mat
ter Is still under consideration. The
legislature Of Florida at one time had
before II measure to turn over some
land 70 the red men and their families
but this has not yet been done. so that
to-day they are running as wild as
at the time their warrior fathers set
foot IN the region.
J. s. Frederick. a civil engineer OF
Miami. tells interesting stories OF his
experience With the Seminoles and
their families. He has occasion once
IN awhile to make his way by boat far
into the interior OF the southern part
OF tie state. The boat Is tied up to
the banks OF some stream while ex-
plOrations OF the everglades are being
made. Frederick has some knowledge
OF the Seminole tongue and has been
able to gather small numbers OF them
about his campfire On one occasion.
he relates. his wife. who accompanied
him on the trip. was 50 much taken
with the bright faces and sparkling
eyes Of the little Seminoles that she in
dueed him to invite a company OF them
into the sloop to take dinner with the
surveying party The commissariat
was well stocked and about a dozen
Of the little red boys and girls sat
down at the table. Frederick says they
came near cleaning him out-in fact.
the larder was empty when the young
guests took their departure.
Frederick says the Indians live most
ly from the products Of the hunt and
the gathering OF roots and herbs. which
they trade at the stores within reach
Of their homes. Like all Indians, they
are fond Of colored goods and showy
articles. and buy literally OF such
things. He SAYS that while lingering
about the trading places they are scru-
pnlously honest.

U-u~A AaHiun40 Names N vogue
A Presbyterian minister, who Is in
charge OF a church IN a fashionable
section Of Philadelphia. says he IS
gratiaed to observe that the plain. old
fashioned names are once more com
ing into vogue. My attention has bsen
called to this in christening babies. =
he said. The fancy names for girls
are now very seldom used. The Mar
guerites. Maries. Babettes, Maybelles
-you know the style-have given way
to the good old names our mothers and
grandmothers used to bear. Still,
there may be a danger in going TO the
other extreme. although as yet there
has been no indication Of coupling two
names. such as Sarah Jane and Mary
Ann. which used to be done But Of
late a great many girl babies have
been christened with such good old
names as Ruth. Martha, Maria, Jane
and the like. Philadelphia Record.
