How Birds Arc Killed.

Two years study of enemies of birds,
aiken together with twenty-five years
previous experience, places their prin-
ipal enemies about In the following
order, according to their importance:
Cats, English sparrows, gunners, boys,
crows, jays, hawks, squirrels, black
makes. Foxes, skunks, weasels and
other small mammals are also to be
reckoned with; also owls, shrikes and
few others. These, however, are
aot Of great Importance as enemies of
the smaller. useful birds. Most farm
srs keep too many cats, and in many
localities vagrant cats are numerous.
In good hunting ground it is poor
cat that will not destroy fifty birds
each year, mostly young in the nests
or inexperienced fledglings. A great
many older birds also fall victims to
the cat.-The Cultivator.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions

r. G. Dun g. Co.'S Weekly Review
OF Trade" says:
Fuel shortage is still the one seri-
ously disturbing element in the indus
trial situation. Transporting facilities
have been diverted from other merchan-
disc to the disadvantage OF shippers, yet
iron furnaces are unable to secure sui
ficient supplies OF coke, and many other
manufacturing plants are closed because
OF inadequate coal deliveries.
Retail trade was accelerated by the
customary clearance sales, especially in
dry goods and kindred branches. Trav-
cling men are sending in large orders
for spring goods
Quiet conditions in the iron and
steel markets do not mean dullness or
diminishing consumption, but merely
the oversold condition OF furnaces and
mills, together with great uncertainty
about keeping plants active on day
to-day supply OF fuel.
New plans. constantly come forward
for large Office buildings, notably at the
West, which means vigorous consump-
ton OF structural steel and the demands
from car builders are phenomenal.

years, II is not liiic.f that they will
ever enjoy themselvr hr letter than
they did on the farm. I the pitla.
BILE sights we know of the most so is
the old farmer vibrating back and
forth between the house and the store,
the loafing place about town, restless,
uneasy. and hardly knowing what to
do with himself from morning till
night. One day is Just like another
Talk about the monotony of farm life
The monotony of city life as it pre-.
sents itself to the farmer who has sold
out and gone there to live is absolutely
beyond description.
And then, what difference between
the fresh. pure air and food of the
country and that of the city! There
used to be milk fresh and sweet from
the cow, vegetables right from the
ground. fruit, berries and eggs just
brought In. Now everything is stale
and hardly endurable to the man who
knows what fresh farm produce Is.
Wat wonder If in little while he
beg lns to long for the old home life!
Blu 1t is too late now. The little nest
egg he and his wife have saved IN
by the work on the farm some way
ha, disappeared by piecemeal until
now he could not buy back the farm
If he wanted to ever so bad. Taxes,
water rents. fuel and repairs keep up
a constant gnawing at the little store.
Perhaps there may be sickness, which
eats n big hole into the surplus. The
old man and his wife see now that they
will do well if they save enough out
of the farm to give them q decent
burial when their time comes.
Cling to the old home farm. II
strength fails and you see that you can
no longer keep things up MS in the
days of manhood's prime, hire some
one to do the heavy work, let out some
of the plow land. but keep your hand
on the helm. Be master Of your own
farm. 1t will be home to you as long
as you will want home in this world.
Perhaps you may have some good son
or daughter who would come on the
farm and do the hard work. If so,
you are happy, indeed; but keep the
deed in your own name. Perhaps II
will be better to build n separate house
for them. Both of you may be the
happier for that. Anyway. keep your
hold on things all the way through.
And the old place will shelter and
bless you til the end.-E. L. Vincent in

of framing, where no timber is thicker

stand by the Farm.

Every little while we hear of some
farmer who has sold the old place and
moved away to town to spend the rest
OF his days. 1t always gives us a sad
feeling to learn Of these departures.
Sad not only because we miss the old
familiar faces. but more so for the rea-
son that we do not believe that these
friends are going to find the happiness
they anticipate. II means a great deal
for man past the meridian Of life to
tear up the ties which have bound him
TO the farm all his life long and move
away to the city. We have known
many instances where men have done
this and soon gone to their long homes.
The change from the free, active life
out Of doors to the sedentary life Of
the city quickly undermined their
health and they soon paused away.
But even II they do live good many

FARM @
% MATTERS.


To KNOW Wnnt INC Farm II Doing.
There is large field for the farmer
to work over in order to find out what
the receipts and expenses are. The
farmer knows the price he received for
his butter, but he may not know the
cost. 1t Is not difficult to arrive at an
estimate OF the cost of any article If
accounts are kept. Progressive farm
ers keep an account with each animal,
weighing their food and charging there
for Even the fields are entered in a
book and accounts kept with them.
1t is extra work. but 1t is the only way
% know what the farm is doing.

The Old Man Was Pleased

A fat old man with a shrewd eye, walked into our store the other day, and looking over the large and varied stock of useful things, said:
 Wall, I declare, you fellers are still at it, ain't you? I heerd em say six years ago that you'd bust in six months sure sellin' goods at sich prices; sed you'd bust sellin' oil cloth at Ia cents a yard when it wuz worth 25 cents, and that you'd be in the hands of the re- ceiver sellin' vaseline at cents a bot tie when others sold it at 10 cents, and that it looked like a man wuz crazy to sell double sheets of sticky f1y-paper for 3 cents, when others he'd the sense to sell 1 fer cents.
 And so yer still doen bizness at the old stand. Say, Davidson, l want to see one of them Moore Steel Ranges like my neighbor got. The old woman seZ it's the best baker with the least fuel of any stove she ever saw, an that you sell em cheaper than these long winded credit stores dO.'
