sects.

Just at present we hear frequently
of the great sums OF money being
spent in San Francisco to sxtermi-
nate the common house rat. while
from the other side OF the world,
Western Europe. there rise loud Ia
mentations concerning the destrue-
tion caused by rodents 10 British
crops and merchandise. We know
that all over this country rats. mice
and other small gnawing animals OF
various sorts are causing in city and
country damage which is beyond cal
culation. Individually trifiing. the
sum total OF this destruction amounts
to a vast sum. II is said that in one
lcounty OF the State of Washington
a species of ground squirrel destroys
| a half a million dollars worth Of
wheat annually. II the destruction
wrought by these various rodents
could be stopped the country would
be richer each year by hundreds OF
millions OF dollars.
Every farmer knows that one OF
| his chief labors when his crops are
growing in summer is fighting weeds.
either with hoe or cultivation. Weeds
grow from seeds, and presumably
destroy the more seeds the farmer
can destroy the fewer weeds he is
likely to have to fight 1t is known
that sparrows OF all sorts for food
depend largely on the seeds OF yarl-
individual sparrow may perhaps
amount to no more than a quarter OF
an ounce OF seeds each day, yet
these birds are so numerous that Il
has been figured by an elaborate cal
culation that In 1906 the sparrows
of the country saved the farmers
$35y 900 900.
The most useful aids to the farmer
in destroying the hordes of small
rodents that prey upon his crop. his
fruit trees and the contents of his
house and barn, are the hawks and
owls, whose food these small NAM
mails are. These birds are striving
each day and night the whole year
around to capture this food. How
enormously valuable to a man are
the services OF these hawks and owls
has been pointed out many times by
the experts who have studied their
food, and may be seen even by the
non-expert, who will take the trou-
bic to. pull to pieces one of the pei
let's of undigested material dsgorged
by owl or hawk, and will notice what
II consist Of. He will find that IL Is
made OF the fur, skulls and ksge

Polk MiIler's Latest.

Polk Miller, of Richmond, blew into
the editorial Office of the "Almanack'
like a fresh breeze from the south a
few days ago and was promptly asked,
lof course, for the latest darby story
lin Virginia. He said 1t was about
substituting a wild turkey for tame
turkey. One of his friends bought a
turkey from old Uncle Ephraim and
asked him, In making the purchase, II
1t was a tame turkey.
oh. yais. sir; it's a tame turkey, o.
right"
"Now. Ephraim, are you sure it's a
tame turkey?"
"Oh. yais, sir; dere's no so't O.
doubt bout dat. It's tame turkey
oil right"
He consequently bought the turkey.
and day or two later. when eating
IL, he came across several shot. Later
on, when he met old Ephraim on the
street, he said:
"well, Ephralm, you told me that
was a tame turkey. but found some
shot In II when | was eating It,"
ooh, dat war a tame turkey, oil
right" was Uncle Ephraim's reiter-
ated rejoinder; ''but de fac is. boss,
Use gwine to tell yer In confidence
