It is to be noted that if more than
a year old wrens come directly to their
nesting site of the preceding summer
If it is still intact, all's well. There Is
no lettering in the neighborhood, nor
has it ever happened, so far as my OBJ
servation extends, that a single bird
appears and a mate subsequently
comes upon the scene. The pair arrive
together This is unquestionably true
of my doorstep wrens Of the past seven
summers and suggests that the marital
tie is not voluntarily broken, whatever
the birds careers from August to April.
The male may lose his mate, but he
soon finds another, and the widowed
bird may lose her lord, but she prompt
ly mates again, and so one or the other
keeps the old summer home in mind,
and it is never forsaken. 1t becomes
a fixed feature of their lives. = DR..

A LOST ISLAND.
Old West Indian Legend That Dates
Back to Columbus Time

Old West Indian Legend That Dates
Back to Columbus Time.
There is an old legend in the West
Indies which has been handed down
from the time of Columbus to the eff
feet that somewhere among the numer
GUS Gays of the Caribbean sea there
exists an island inhabited only by Wo-
men.
The aboriginal Caribs and Ararwaks
found it inconvenient to have women
around in times of war. Usually when
the enemy conquered a number of the
tribes fairest maidens were carried
off. SO goes the story
The deplorable possibility Of losing
all the women Of the tribe was averted
however, by the prompt action of the
chiefs, who ordered all of the remain
ing female element to this unknown
island in the Caribbean According to
the legend, the place is copiously
watered by ideal streams, overshad
owed by breadfruit, mango, plantain
and all the necessaries to life and
poetry. The husbands and lovers were
allowed to visit the island paradise not
more than twice a year in times Of
peace
But it is further handed down that
all the men Of the tribe were even
tually wiped out in an Indian war and
that all trace of the isle of women was
lost. According to Washington Irving,
even Columbus made vain efforts to
find it,

The Dairy Steer.

A good dairy cow we'll and comforta-
bly, kept ought to pay her owner 500
per year, says Professor Hacker in
Farmers Advocate. And when it
comes down to the steer from the dali
ry cow there is not really as much diff
ference as we are often told. I have at
the experiment station six steers from
registered dairy cows not yet two
years old, fed as any farmer should
feed them, that will weigh from 900 to
1920 pounds each. They are just as
good as any Of your beef breeds, and
the profit from them and the COW
would be much greater. The condem-
nation Of the steer of the high bred
dairy cow is simply matter Of preju-
dice.

A few steps saved in caring for work
horses three times day means great
deal in the course of a year, says an
Indiana farmer in Breeders Gazette.
One of the reasons for building four
gables is that it makes more hay space
and enables one to get at the hay
chutes, which are in the corner of oat
bins, when the barn is full of hay. In
feeding we use the manger for alley,
and oats and hay are in front Of the
horses, and corn just across the drive
way. We also have water in the barn
in q small tank

The Time to Cut S1Iage.
The proper time to cut silage is when
the huSks on the most forward ears be-
gin to turn brown and the first three
or four blades at the base Of the stalks
are dead, or the best time is about ten
days before the corn Is ready for the
shock, says a correspondent Of Farm
ers Advocate. The way to pack is to
have the stalks, leaves and ears we'll
mixed together in the silo and the
sides Of the silage much higher than
the middle while the silo is being filled.
In other words, reverse the rule of

packing closely against the sides. In
packing all of the tramping should be
done at the sides. Walk around the

The Beef Cow In the Dairy.
1t seems to be clearly established
that any one cannot afford to use
grade or scrub sire in raising any
kind of stock, and we believe it is just
as much fact that no dairyman can
afford to use anything except a full
blood sire Of one of the special dairy
breeds. 1t seems curious that many
dairymen will stick SO persistently to
the beefy cow that makes little or no
profit and is sometimes kept at a loss
just because her calf sells better and
she will bring more at the block when
she fails at the pail, as she surely will
in a few years at most. A good dairy
bred cow will bring more clear profit
every year than an average grade
steer is worth at two years old, and
besides she will last about twice as
long as the beefy cow.-Cor. Hoard's

PASTURE FOR SWINE.
The Animals Thrive on the Right
Kind of Grasses

kind OF Grasses
l believe that greater returns for the
amount invested can be obtained from
grazing hogs through the summer than
from grazing any other kind of live
stock, says Kentucky breeder in
American Agriculturist. There must
be soWn the right kind of grasses to
get the best results. First and fore
most as a hog pasture is clover. l keep
a plot coming on all of the time for
the hogs. Do not wait until one set of
clover has persisted before sowing an
other. These fields need not be very
large if they are judiciously managed.
The hogs should have access only to q
small part at a time.
Two years ago l purchased eighty
hogs, averaging about ninety pounds
each, in the early spring. I gave them
access to clover pasture, with a slight
mixture Of other grasses. Sept. l these
hogs were weighed before being put
in the feed pen. They had gained about
seventy-five pounds each on grass
alone that summer Stock hogs being
worth Z cents per pound that year, it
will readily be seen that they made
gain of $5.25 per head with no feed 9th
er than grass.

THE VETERINARY

In reply to a New York farmer who
asked advice for treatment of four
year-old colt which had a dry, scabby
skin disease American Agriculturist
said: work will do him no harm Mix
two ounces oxide of zine with five
ounces vaseline Rub on little once
every third day."
For NANCY Hogs.
Farm and Ranch advises this remedy
for mango on hogs: Take sulphur one
part, oil tar two parts and Beaumont
oil or raw linseed oil eight parts Mix
and apply to the affected animals.
The BucI6yvheat Disease.
Buckwheat is a relative to that com
mon acrid weed smartweed, both be-
longing to the same family of plants
and both having an acrid inf1ammato-
~ effect on the skin of animals, espe
cially sheep, says American Sheep
Breeder. 1t has never been known to
affect black animals-pigs, sheep or
cattle-but causes the eruption describ-
ed in white ones. The remedy is to
wash the sores with a weak solution
of sugar Of lead or limewater and
give the tonic mixture in doses of
heaped teaspoonful of even quantities
of ground gentian, ginger and sulphate
of iron. Animals should never be
pastured in buckwheat stubble or
even Uttered with buckwheat straw.
but sheep especially should be pre-
served from these.
