TELLS OF THE MocK1NG BIRD.
Audubon, the Naturalist. Was "A Great
Lover of the Sweet
Singer.

The fact that Audubon's picture of
the hooking bird group is at once
fascinating and repulsive is perhaps
one of the best proofs of the great
naturalst's art, says Edward y.
Clark, in the Chicago Record-Herald.
The coloring of the birds is near
to nature, the beauty of the flower
ing jasmine is unques toned, but there
is an offset to the blended natural
ness and beauty in the sight of the
hideouS snake which is attempting
the robbery of the nest.
Audubon was the champion of the
mocLing birds note as against the
notes of all the birds of the world.
When European friends pressed upon
him the surpa ssing excellence of the
nightngale's music Audubon said:
''To compare the nightingale's essays
with the finished talent of our mock
ing bird is absurd" But no Gagged
knocking bird ever sang note with
the same sweetness that attaches to
the bird that has the freedom of the
fields. They add much to the variety
of their utterances when Gagged, but
the subtle sweetness of the music is
gone. In captivity the bird will give

rattle of tin pan, the squeai of a
pig or the new of n cat much oftener
| than it will attempt to please with
| its own matchless music. Thousands
| of young birds are caught every
| spring by men and boys and sold to
| agents for a few cents. They are
shipped north, where they command
| high prices. The sale of mocking
| l.. !, Of,
| tirely stopped through the efforts of
| the society named for Audubon, who
loved the mocker above all other
birds.
The hooking bird is largely insect
ivorous. but it is also a fruit lover,
and at times brings upon itself the
wrath of the berry and grape grow
ers of the south. In the winter when
I insects are scarce except at the eN-
IRENE southern limit of its range.
| the Knockers live upon the berries of
the red cedar, the myrtle and the
| holly. In Texas. Florida and south
ern Louisiana the hooking birds nest
| early in March. The time of house
keeping varies with the latitude. At
its extreme northern limit the bird
builds about the second week in
June Its favorite housekeeping
| places are thorn thickets orange
trees and holly bushes. The eggs are
| from four to six in number and in
color are a light greenish blue, near
ly covered with markings of yellow
| ish brown.
The hooking bird has a habit OF
singing at night, provided the sky
be clear. and there are times when
its rapturous notes outpoured to the
moon become nuisance.

IMPROVEMENT.
FOREST FIRE LANES.
Their Construction Very Materially
Reduces the Danger of Great and
General COnflaSratiOns.

It is generally recognized through
out Europe that the cons truction of
suita Bile fire lanes throughout the for
est conduces more to the prevention of
great CONGREGATIONS than any other
institution. These serve as vantage
points in the fighting of fire and often
in themselves are sufficient to prevent
its spread. By means of fire lanes the
country is cut into parcels and the
danger of great conflag ra tons very
materially reduced. These fire lanes,
in order to be efficient, must be wide,
clean and well cared for; otherwise
they are OF little use.
Fire lanes may be constructed at
slight expense. After the wood is cut
it is necessary to plow three or four
burrows along the edges and then to
burn over the lane at times when there
is no danger of setting fire to the
neigh boring woods. lane so feet in
width would be quite efficient
The scheme which l have to suggest
is that these fire lanes be constructed
and kept in order in a way similar to
the construction of state roads, which
have been so popular of late. In this
way no terrible burden of expense
rests upon anybody. The individ ual

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Butter that is covered with salt
crystals is not desira BILE.
The large udder doesn't always give
assurance of a heavy mixer.
If the friction is too violent, the
butter is produced speedily and is de-
ficient in quality.
The flow of milk should be main
tanned as uniform as possible while
the COW is in milk.
Cream will make better butter
when it rises in cold air than when it
rises in cold water.
No matter how good the cows in the
herd the bull should be good enough
to improve the progeny.
In making good butter quite as
many difficulties lie in the care of the
milk as in the mode of churning.
To rush cows into the stable from
the pasture night or morning, is to
excite them sufficiently physically to
heat their milk to feverish point,
quickly undermining its quality.
The Importance of producing on the
farm butter of the highest excellence,
fit to compete with the creamery
product, seems to be often disre I'd
ed, or perhaps the undertaking is con-
sidered too difficult of attainment.
This is largely through lack of knowi
edge of details.

MUCH MONEY IN STEEPLES.
Nearly $45.OOO.OOO Invested in Ornn-
mental Church Structures in
This Country.

A church economist of a practical
and somewhat eccentric turn of mind
has estimated that nearly $45.OOO,OOO
has been invested in nonproductive,
nonessential and purely ornamental
church buildings in this country, chief
ly in the form of steeples.
The total value of church property
in the United States is set down at
1916, 1877 900. The greater part of this
enormous sum is represented III splen-
did and costly edifices devoted eNclu-
sively to religious purposes and open
only for a few hours each week. For
the remainder of the time these build
ings stand idle and empty, monuments
of religious faith and sentiment. cold,
stately and magnificent-all this, but
nothing more. From practical and
business point of view they represent
capital that is tied up and nonproduc-
tive This state of things is prejudical
to the cause of religious progress. says
Leslie's Weekly. 1t is repugnant to
common sense and enlightened reason;
it argues wastefulness and eNtrava-
gance, and it ought not to be.
1t would be more in harmony with
wise and prudent business manage
ment and the uti1itarian spirit of the
age if the vast capital now lying almost
dead and useless in ornate and empty
religious edifices were converted into
business blocks or office buildings.
where adequate room might be re-
served for religious gatherings and
the remaining space utilized for rev.
enue-p producing purposes. This idea is
partially carried out in the Methodist
Book concern and the Presbyterian
building. on Fifth avenue. New York,
and in structures of similar kind in
Bos ton and other cities. in each of
which commodious chapels are pro-
vded for religious meetings. Why not
invest chuch funds, generally, in the
same way?
Under this plan a revenue might be
derived from the capital invested suffi-
cient to enable the denominations to
extend their work in many needed di-
rections, and especially among the neg
lected and churchless masses of our
large cities.

FEEDING AND BREEDING.
The Two Go Hand in Hand in Inn
proving the Value and 1ndf-
vidunlity of Cows.

To what extent does feed affect the
individuality CT a COW? This is
question that mas yet to be answered,
so far as conclusive experiments are
concerned. 1t is doubtless true that
feed is constantly changing the char
acteristics of animals, but we do not
know how rapidly the changes take
place. nor do we know just the effect
each food has. To certain extent we
are feeding in the dark. The Maryland
experiment. station has been feeding
herd Of common COWS for several years
and noting the effect of proper feed
ing on individuality c. +. Doane. who
reports on the results. says: mo very
material results could be noticed the
first year from the extra feed and care
the herd received. but through sub
sequent years there seems TO be
steady improvement. Judging from
the records of these COWS. it is ques
ton if the quality of dairy COW does
not depend almost as much on the
feeding as on the breeding. 1t is also
a que tion if COWS that have more or
less pronounced beef tendency. or. al
least. would not be called good mate
rial from which to build up a dairy
herd, cannot, with proper manage
ment. be developed into prof BILE
dairy cows" This is view of he mat
ter that will not strike some of our
inve stgators very favorahly. 1t has
against it the generally accepted truth
that we have now so many good dairy
cows that it will hardly pay to spend
time, feed and effort in attempt to
reverse tendency already strongly
developed in a direction opposite to

A TWO-MILE SHAFT.
One in the Tamnrnck Mines That VIII

1t will require a deep shaft to de-
velop mine to the west of the Tam
arack-a shaft of nearly two miles
in depth-but in view of the wonder.
full strides made in deep mining in
the past decade it is not beyond the
range of possibilities that such a
shaft may be started soon. Fifteen
years ago the sinking of No. 1 Tam.

made a new worlds record, and the
men who sunk it were denounced as

nell
The bottoming of the Red Jacket
shaft only few years ago, at a depth
of 1900 feet. was regarded with won
der, and held by many to be the ulti-
mate limit in deep mining. yet to-
day the No. 5 shaft of the Tamarack
lacks but a months work of being a
full 5000 feet in depth. and the hoist
ing plant just installed is built for
service to depth of 5000 feet
nearly three times the depth at which
the original Tamarack shaft cut the
lode. although then denounced as
crazy undertaking by some of the
best mining men in this district.
If the planned limits of deep min
ing have been extended to almost
three times their original bounds.
within less than two decades, the
jump from 5000 to 10000 feet is not
such an impossible one as it now
seems to many. \ shaft two miles
in depth could be sunk in ten years
at a cost, including equipment, of 49,
100000 or $4,000. 900. In other words.
a two-mile shaft could be sunk and
equipped at about the same cost and
in about the same time as the Red
Jacket shaft, which lacks a little OF
a mile in depth.
There is really but one serious
draw back to the sinking of a two
mile shaft, and that is the question
of ventilation. At such great depth
the heat would be very great. The
developments of the next two years
in No. ) Tamarack will settle the ques-
ton of whether a two-mile shaft
could be operated to advantage.
That it could be sunk is no longer
open to question. At the deep YER
teal shafts of the Calumet district
powerful fans are used to reinforce
| the natural system of ventilation OBJ
| tanning in all deep mines that have
| more than single shaft.
In the case of the hypothetical
| two-mile shaft the single opening
could be made to serve the purpose
| of two shafts by making the different
compartments air-tight and using
| one of them for down-cast, and an
| other for an up-cast. or chimney, to
| withdraw the heated air from the
| mine.
The compressed air from the power
| drills is also a powerful factor in
| mine operations at great depths, as
| air gives up much of its heat under
| compression. and when released
| quickly robs the surrounding rock

FEEDING OF SORGHUM.
There Are Many Arguments For and
Against Its Use Worthy of Care
full COnsiIe ra ION.

Precaution is necessary in the feed
ing of sorghum. From time to time
reports have been received of cattle
dying from eating the sorghum in
certain stages of growth. All at
tempts to find the poison have failed
thus far. However, the losses have
been so small compared to the num-
Der of COWS being fed that the use of
this kind of feed has been continued.
A recent communication from Prof.
d. H. Otis, of the Kansas experiment
station, says: During the time the
Kansas station has been pasturing
sorghum several reports have been
received of cattle dying in ten or tif-
teen minutes from the time they en-
tered the sorghum patch, but in every
case where we have been able to get
details, the cattle have eaten the sor-
ghum on empty or nearly empty
stomachs. Cattle should have their
stomachs so we'll filled that they feel
completely satisfied before touching
the green sorghum, and then allowed
to eat only a few minutes at time
until they are accustomed to II. II
sorghum can be pastured successful
ly, as has been done by the Kansas eX-
pertinent station. it means that the
dairymen and stockmen can get an
immense amount of pasture from
small area, which is available at
time when their other pastures are
getting short and dry. Pasturlng Will
also be the most economical way OF
utilizing sorghum. The man that
turns his cattle in a sorghum field,
however, must realize that he may be
taking risks. He must weigh the eVl-
dence for and against its use and
then decide for himself whether the
| benefits will outweigh the risks.

Importance of Agriculture.

The basic industry of this country is
agricultural. In 1890 there were 4,564,-
GAL farms in the country. There are
to-day 100000 and over, showing an
increase in ten years of nearly l, 14o, 900
farms. This increase has arisen from
two cause.-the settlement of govern
ment lands and the division of great
farms. We used to be told ten or fif-
teen years ago that the farms were be-
ing consolidated and that the bonanza
farm would be that of the future. On
the contrary, since 1850 there has been
a constant decrease in the average size
of farms; in that year, s03 acres; in
1890 it was 1877 acres.-World's Work.
