A PRACTICAL CAMPAIGN.

The Audubon Society of America,
whose members are intensely interest
ed in the protection of bird life, has
decided on a plan Of campaign for the
future differing radically from that
followed in the past. Heretofore the
appeals of the society for assistance
in the good work which they are try
ing to do have been largely on the ba-
sis of sentiment-humanita and
aesthetic reasons-rather than on that
expressed in terms of dollars and
cents The campaign which the so
ciety has laid out has in view setting
before the farmer, orchardist. railroad
and business man the enormous an
nual financial loss sustained through
insect damage. rendered yearly more
threatening as a result of the ruthless
destruction of bird life. Last year, &C.
cording to figures compiled by the So
ciety, the money loss to the various
interests Of the country as result OF
insect damage aggregated $SOO.OOO,O 600.
In connection with these figures they
cite the fact that the federal govern
ment doles out the pitifully paltry sum
Of $4,000 to inv estigate and educate
the people on this all important topic.
The Audubon society has struck the
right gait in getting on to the basis OF
the cash loss to business interests as a
compelling motive in bird protection,
and 1t goes without saying that it will
produce results.

Sick Headache

Il have been frequent sufferer
from sick headache for years. yet
never would use headache tablets.
My son persuaded me to use DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills during one
of these attacks, and to my surprise
it gave me speedy relief"
MRS. LOUISE LEWELLYN,
Powell, S. d.
When the disturbance which
causes headache affects the nerves
at the base of the brain, which con-
meet with the large nerves that run
TO the stomach, heart and lungs. it
frequently causes headache with
vomiting-sick headache.
DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
soothe the irritated brain nerves
and the cause of pain is removed.
The first package will benefit: IL not,
your druggist will return your money.

AN IMPROVED VARIETY OF OATS.

A number of farmers in the oats belt
report exceptionally good results in
both yield and weight per bushel with
a new variety of oats, the Regenerated
Swedish Select, introduced two or
three years ago by a firm of English
seedsmen and exhibited at number
of state fairs during the past summer
The variety of oats in question is short
kerneled. remarkably plump and full
as to berry and has been known to
yield as high as 100 bushels to the
acre and to weigh as heavy as fifty
pounds to the bushel. Excellent char
acteristics Of the new variety are that
it is early maturing, stiff and strong
in straw and virtually rust proof. The
seed comes high, from 81 to So BUSH
ell, but the increased yield and quality
which it guarantees would seem to JUS
tify the purchase of enough seed for a
good sized breeding plot. In a great
majority Of cases where the new va
riety has been raised there has been
an increase in yield of % per cent or
better.

In no way does a fellow reveal more
quickly the type OF a farmer he Is than
in the use which he makes OF the great
byproduct of the farm, manure. IL
he is enterprising he will get this on to
the land as fresh as possible, so that
its full fertilizlng value will be real
ized, while il he is a slipshod chap he
win quite likely let 1t accumulate and
permit a good share OF fits strength to
leech away as a result of rains and ex-
poSure.

The prevailing high prices of feed
and grain render it imperative that the
owner OF a dairy herd should spot the
loafers and weed out without ceremony
those individuals that are barely pay
ing their keep or constitute positive
source of loss. 1t is farce to feed
twenty cent corn to these loafers and
a still more serious matter to feed that
which Is worth so cents.

The type of agriculture followed on
a good many farms might be greatly
improved. with increased profits accru.
ing to both landlord and tenant. II
the lease on which the farm was rent.
ed were for FIVE or more years instead
Of one. as Is too often the case. The
one year renter naturally feels that he
cannot afford to put in a lot OF hard
work on the farm one season when q
large per cent of the benefit resulting
cannot be realized until the following
year. Likewise the landlord justifles
himself in doing as little as he Ia re-
quired to under the terms of the lease
when he knows that his tenant intends
to remain but year and is bent on
skinning the land TO the limit and
would not be in a mood to appreciate
improvements the benefit from which
would extend over a period of more
than one year. 1t is therefore plain
to be seen that the long term lease Is
best for the tenant. best for the land
lord and far and away the best thing
for the farm in which each has q mu-
tual financial interest.

The Farm, Orchard and Garden

Quoted show that when cheese Ii SOLD
from the farm or milk from which
cheese is made a much larger amount
OF fertility is taken from the soil
than in the case of butter or cream.
This is to quite an extent responsible
for the fertility and productivity OF
those farms on which buttermaking is
the chief occupation.

Starting in a small way but q few
years ago, the cement industry Of the
country has grown until last year the
output Of the product was 10000 900
barrels. The scarcity of lumber in the
next few years is sure to result in an
enormous increase over these figures.
Some one has said that the mixing
of cement requires but little more
brains than the mixing Of mud pies.
This Is likely overdrawn. but 1t never.
theless points to the fact that the
process is not difficult one and that
any one who is Of an enterprising turn
of mind and has the proper directions
can make many Of the cement i'm
provements about his place. For one
who wishes to study the subject as
well as secure practical suggestions

A fact quite generally known, yet
sometimes overlooked. is that red
clover is a biennial-that is. its length
of life is but two seasons long-which
means that if the second growth is not
allowed to mature seed in the autumn

out This variety Of clover as it
grows along the roadside seems to have
a perennial habit but this is due TO the
fact that il produces seed often enough

Professor John Merriam, associate
professor Of geology in the University

sation in scientific circles and among
students of paleontology throughout

Der of prehistoric animal species In a

from Sawtelle, Cal. From this once
sticky death trap, which became the
grave Of numberless animals hundreds
of thousands of years ago, have been
taken the remains of rare prehistoric
animals. including the enormous
ground sloth, larger than q common

great extinct camel, a strange and IN
known species of deer, besides the
saber toothed tiger and huge antedi-
luvian wolf. which were evidently
lured to the death pool by the strug-
giles Of the herbivorous animals al

tended to devour. In addition to the

cies of hawks, eagles and ducks which

A WORD ABOUT oLEoMAReARlNE

Federal laws lately passed wisely
place restriction on the sale Of oleo-
margarine as a counterfeit Of dairy
butter. This is just common decency
and honesty. 1t should not be palmed
off on the public as a dairy product.
On the other hand, it is only fair to
say in behalf Of the manufacturers and
retailers Of oleomargarine that when it
sails under its own colors and is sold
honestly for what it is-largely beef
fat-no serious objection can be urged
against it, as it Is a clean and whole
some food product. For a large class
OF people who this year find them
selves in straitened financial circum-
stances oleomargarine will doubtless be
extensively used as a substitute for the
genuine dairy product, which is thus
early in the season retailing for bet
ter than 80 cents per pound and con-
sidering the high price Of feed may be
close to 40 cents before spring.
The stock raiser has q job on his
hands to figure out a profit in feeding
sixty cent corn to five dollar hogs or
cattle. In fact. he may as well save
his pencil, for the job can't be done.
Two thousand Eve hundred dollars
was recently refused for a kellerstrass
Crystal White Orpington hen named

IN keeping the best for himself.
A decided point in favor Of the

q distinctly labor saving piece Of ma
ehinery the fertilizer it spreads goes
twice rs far and does more good than
that scattered by the old pitchfork
method.

mains in the neighborhood of twenty
six or twenty-seven bushels, and nu-
merous instances are on record WI e
enterprising farmers have secured a
yield Of from so to 100 bushels per
acre, it will be entirely in place to
continue talking and writing about
the possibilities of agriculture in the
United States. Had the average yield
per acre been twice what it was (26.2
bushels), or 52.4 bushels-a moderate
yield-the total corn production would
have been 5,2S5, 374 900 bushels. while

The average housewife would much
prefer to burn hard maple, oak or
hickory, as she may have done years
ago or as her mother did, but a great
many in sections where the hardwood
supply is gone have to use soft coal In
its stead. With this the SCOT and dirt
are the chief drawbacks. The former
nuisance may be reduced to a mini
mum by breaking the coal into small
pieces before putting it into the stove
and putting on the fire only small
quantities at time. If the fire Is fed
in this way it will burn brightly and
consume the SCOT and a good share of
the black smoke, which is simply an
aggregation of sooty particles, as soon
as it is formed. More than this, there
is a decided saving in fuel in this
method Of stocking which should not be
overlooked.
