THE BLACK LOCUST.

The attention Of tree growers should
be directed more than it is to the black
locust, a somewhat lengthy account Of
which appeared in a recent issue of
this department. The durab ility of the
locust is one Of it's most commendable
features. In Illinois, where it has been
raised somewhat extensively and is
highly appreciated, it is not uncommon
to lind posts sound after twenty years
use, while in one instance the posts
were fairly sound after thirty
years use. The black locust is adapt
ed to planting on sandy soils, and it's
growth is SO rapid that if proper cul-
tivation and care are given to the trees
they will attain post size before the
damage from borers is serious. The
locust is as hardy as the Usage orange
and does not winterkill When forest
planting on poor land is contemplated,
this species should be considered An
other point in its favor is that it is an
excellent tree for hillside planting to
prevent washing.

A HOMEMADE PAINT.

The Australian experiment station
publishes the following recipe for a
cheap yet very durable homemade
paint 1t is easily made and certainly
worth trying if it comes anywhere near
to the claims made for it:
Stir into one gallon of milk about
three pounds portland cement and add
sufficient venetian red powder or any
other paint powder to impart good
color. The milk will hold the paint in
suspension, but the cement, being very
heavy, will sink to the bottom, so that
1t becomes necessary to keep the mix
ture we'll stirred with a paddle This
feature of the need of stirring is the
only drawback to the paint, and as it's
efficiency depends upon administering
good coating Of cement it is not safe
to leave it's application to untrust-
worthy help. Six hours after painting
this paint will be as immovable and
unaffected by water as month old oil
paint. The party sgiving this recipe
claims that he has heard of buildings
twenty years old painted in this man
ner in which the wood was we'll pre-
served. The effect of such a coating
seems to be to petrify the surface of
the wood Whole milk is better than
buttermilk or skim milk, as it contains
more oil, and this Is the constituent
which sets the cement. If mixed with
water instead of milk the wash rubs
and soaks off readily. This cement
milk paint brushes on smoothly and
easily-almost equal to genuine oil
paints cheap and easily made"

a FULL IARDER.

While wild animals are supposed to
and usually do live a sort of hand to
mouth existence, there is now and then
an exception. A couple Of central Iowa
boys who few weeks ago unearthed
litter Of six young foxes were much
surprised to find in the den the follow
ing store of provisions, evidently laid
up Tor time Of need: Twenty-one rab-
bits, ten pocket gophers, two rats, two
muskrats, eight wild ducks, six mud
hens and number of blackbirds, spar
rows and robins. A glance at the list
just given would seem to point to the
fact that, while the fox may now and
then raid the farmers poultry yard, he
also preys upon rabbits, pocket gophers
and rats, which are viewed as real
pests by the farmer and gardener.

Co OPERATIVE BIRD PROTECTION

w Vt G-FlS1 ~ !. AZ EO I0lN
The advantage of cooperative pro-
tectfve measures in the matter of pre-
venting loss by animal diseases and de
struction Of crops by insect pests is
coming to be more fully realized than
ever before. Yet one aspect Of the
question which has up to date received
very little attention is the matter Of
interstate cooperation in the protec-
ton of the many birds that aid the
farmer and gardener by holding in
check the insect pests that devour his
crops. A recent interesting bulletin
issued by the department of agricui-
ture on ."The Value of Swallows as
Insect Destroyers' presents the results
of research along the line indicated
and emphasizes the advantage Of such
cooperative effort. 1t has been found
that while a number Of birds, includ
Ing the orioles, blackbirds, Wrens and
hycatchers. perform a great service
for the southern cotton growers, the
swallows destroy the greatest number
of weevils in their migratory flights
i
question urges the cooperation of
northern people in the matter Of pro-
tecting. the different species of swaI-
lows and the martin, as it is in the
north where they nest and raise their
young, The increase in the English
sparrow tribe, the disappearance of the
old fashioned loosely constructed barn,
which afforded ideal nesting places for
the barn swallow, and Indifference of
people in the northern states to the
presence of the martin and failure to
provide suitable houses for them as
formerly are given as the chief reasons
why these valuable birds are decreas-
Ing. In view of the fact that swallows
and martins commit no depredations
while in their northern homes, but on
the contrary destroy untold numbers
Of insects, much more might be done
than is to aid them to increase in num-
Der. 1t might not be out of place to
suggest that in return for this service
which the agricultural department. asks
1t might be an evidence of gratitude
for southern pot hunters to cease their
merciless slaughter of robins and other
birds whose service to northern farm
ers and gardeners is generally recog-
| niZed. The economic service rendered
by many varieties of birds would thus
/ not only seem to point to the wisdom
| of interstate cooperation in the matter
| Of protecting them, but control of the
| whole matter by federal government.

When John and Mary start in house

that each should keep in mind if they

perhaps most important thing is that
marriage is a copartnership in which
each is in duty bound to be consider
ate, unselfsh, sympathetic and helpful.

dustrious and good provider; on hers,
Mary should be thrifty, devoted to her
husband and neat and tidy as a house
keeper and in personal appearance

might be mentioned. careful observ-
