MAGAZINES.

The September number of Ainslee's
Magazine contains many interesting
articles and stories, but the most strik-
ing feature of the issue is a special an
nouncement page, printed in colors, in-
forming the public that beginning with
the October number Ainslee's will be
enlarged to 169 pages, and will cost fif-
teen cents the copy. Each number will
contain a complete novel by an author
of reputation. In addition, the maya
zine will be made up of host of short
stories, dialogues, verses, and essays
from the best known writer's. In break
ing away from the field of the all too
numerous ten-cent magazine, Ainslee's
blazes a new path. The departure is of
the most attractive interest to the
American public, the greatest maya
zine readers in the world. Ainslee's

THE Blue Badge of Courage" by
Henry H. Handley; published by the
Saalfield Publishing Company, Akron,
o. Bound in muslin; price, SIPS. The
author, Col. H. H. Handley says that
he contracted the drink habit While
a soldier in the Union army, in the

he was reclaimed, and what work is
being done by himself, his brother and
others for the reclamation of others

appetite. There is a description of the
famous Jerry McAuley Mission in New

of those who are in charge of the
great work that is being performed
by the mission. The Blue Badge of

those who have the moral courage to

Cloth, $3.50. This volume is charm
ingly illustrated by W. Fl. Fry, and
presents in its binding and typograph-
ical work a very handsome appearance.
The story is a good one. 1t is not a
great story, of course. Great stories
are few these days, but it is story
much above the average. The scene is
laid in the romantic Muskingum val
ley and the time is the colonial period
of this country. Naturally there are
some dramatic scenes and startling in
cidents. They are, however, graphically
presented. The descriptions of seen

draw with the skill of a genuine ar

eer days in America and they develop
ed men and women capable of heroic
deeds. 1t is probable that some of the
Indian incidents in this volume are
founded on facts, since they have an
air of truth. The story is a deeply ip-
teresting one and is well worth read

Skim Milk for Chicks

At the Indiana station test of the value of skim milk for chickens was made by w. B. Anderson with two lots containing ten Plymouth Rocks and ten Houdans. Each lot received all they would eat of a mixture of crushed corn, bran and ground oats, 2:1:l. Both lots received cracked bone, cabbage and lettuce and had access to water.
 The two lots received the same treat ment in every respect, except that lot ? received all the skim milk they would eat in addition to the grain ration. The test began July l1th and closed September 5th. During the test one chicken in lot died.
 Lot one consumed 179.S pounds of grain, and the average weekly gain per chicken was 2.62 ounces. Lot ? consumed 217.3 pounds of grain and 900.4 pounds of skim milk, and the weekly average gain per chicken was 1. .46 ounces. The following conclusions were drawn:
 If skim milk be added to the ration fed to young chickens it will increase the consumption of the other foods given. The great increase in average gain was coincident with the periods when the greatest amount of skim milk was consumed. Skim milk is especi- ally valuable as a food for young chikens during the hot, dry weather, and becomes of less importance as the chickens grow older and the weather becomes cooler.

IN FIELD OF HUSBANDRY
TOPICS OF INTEREST TO FARMER
 AND ORCHARDIST
Ducks Eat Great Variety of Food-Geese Care for their Young-Prevent the Start of Insects Potatoes Killed by Frost-Spare the Owls New Lady Birds

Insect depredations are like weeds. They can be kept in check by pre- venting their getting any great start, but are hard to get rid of after they have made little headway. So the best thing to do is always to be on the alert and keep the enemy from mak- ing any advance. Preventive remedies, which keep down chances for starting trouble, are easier and more effective than al other methods.
 Geese seem to be sufficiently wise not to bring forth their young too soon, but they hatch the goslins early enough to lose some of them unless the farmer is careful, says Mirror and Farmer. The goslins are covered only with down, which permits them to become chilled if they go on ponds of cold water before they are well feath- cred. By keeping them away from the water when they are young they should thrive and no losses occur, as they are usually hardy and have good appetites.
 Ducks, like hens, eat a great variety of food, yet because the duck has no distinct crop the food is passed more directly to the digestive organs. It is therefore very important that the food be consumed in soft condition. In nature the duck gathers most of its supply from streams, ponds or marshy places. This food, says Watson s Farm Poultry, consists of growing shoots and roots of water plants, snails and the larvae of various insects, toge ther with small fish and other aouatic life. Successful duck raisers have learned valuable lesson from nature and give young ducks no hard food.

"It is with pleasure I recommend Peruna as a tonic of unusual merit. A large number of prominent members of the different Orders with which l have been connected have been cured by the use of Peruna of cases of catarrh of the stomach and head; also in kid ney complaint and weakness of the pelvic organs.
 "It tones up the system, aids diges- tion, induces sleep, and is well worthy the confidence of sufferers of the above complaints. H. s. Emory.

New Lady Birds

In cage constructed of mosquito netting in the grounds of the Depart ment of Agriculture, Professor c. L. Marlatt is fostering colony of "Chilo- corus similis" ladybirds. Some months ago MT. Marlatt went to the Orient in search of the natural enemy of the San Jose sale which has played such havoc with the peach orchards of this country and there found that the above-named insect preyed upon the sale with extraordinary ferocity, keep
 ing the plague under control He found the Chilocorus m China between
 Pekin and the Great Wall. He imme- diately shipped large number of the Gladys" to this country, but only two survived the trip. Under the tender nursing of Mir. Marlatt, who has spent his entire time since returning captur- ing scales for their food and keeping up, the fires, they have produced a dainty little family of ninety-nine members and some of their offspring are already preparing to start estab- lishments of their own, despite the Encouragement which the beef trust is offering to those contemplating matri- mony. As soon as census of the colony reveals a population of few thousand the Professor will turn it loose upon an emaclated and almost defunct peach grove which is suffering from the ravages of the scale and he thinks at least some of the trees will be saved. In time it will be the policy
