Farmers who have been studying
the use of various birds to their grow
ing crops, feel much less animosity
against the crow, blackbird and blue
jay than formerly, for it has been
proved that these birds aid the farmer
more than they hurt him. The swal-
low, swift and nightingale are the
guardians of the atmosphere, feeding
on the wing and taking from the air
those forms of insects that might en-
danger the fruit trees. Woodpeckers,
chickadees and cr9epers are the guar

Feeding Blackstrap Molasses to Young
Calves.

NAAVCAs
The Louisiana State Experiment
Station at Baton Rouge has recently
been making some interesting expert
ments on feeding blackstrap, or low
grade molasses, to young calves, and
has published bulleting, No. 1903,
covering these experiments. They
were carried on under the direction
and control of Mr. T. e. Woodward,
of the Dairy Division Of the National
Division of Animal Industry, and Mr..
j. G. Lee, Jr,, representing the State
Experiment Station
The conclusions were that in feed
ing calves blackstrap molasses the re-
suits were not satisfactory, owing to
it's laxative effect This laxative
effect, however, is said to be
due to the sugar contained, rather
than to any of the other constituents
of the blackstrap, and the securing is
said to have been caused by the fer
mentation of the sugar in the diges-
tive tract. It is a we'll recognized
fact that there is considerable diff
Guilty experienced in rearing calves
on skim milk. The substitution for
skim milk of blackstrap molasses, or
any combination including molasses,
would appear to the average layman
familiar with the matter, as being
of doubtful propriety in feeding
young calves To successfully rear
young calves natures own way is the
most certain, but modern methods
are trying to discover effective and
more economic methods, and the re-
suit Of the present bulletin is to in
dictate that low grade molasses is not
we'll adapted to the feeding of young
calves, although very superior as a
carbohydrate stock feed in a general
way.

Sorghum as a Forage Plant.

The Florida Agricultural Expert
ment Station at Gainesville, Fla, has
recently issued Bulletin No go, in
which it discusses the whole sorghum
question, including classifications,
soils, adaptation for ensilage, method
Of planting, fertilizing, cultivation
and it's value for hay and for pastur-
ing. 1t has frequently occurred to us
that in the sugar sections OF Louis
lana we have paid less attention to
sorghum as a forage plant than we
should have done. In the bulletin
under consideration certain varieties
are shown to have given from six to
as high as nineteen tons Of green
forage per acre, and yield in seed, or
rather grain, per acre from 500
pounds to over 210O pounds. The
sorghum plant is wonderful forage
producer, and perhaps we shall learn
more about 1t in the future than we
have been inclined to learn about it
in the past.

known to eat 200 grasshoppers In

would otherwise scatter. and is also a

TEACHERS AND NEuRAsTHENlA.
Nervous Breakdown the Main Cause
Of Retirements on Pensions.

Of Retirements on Pensions.
Neurastnenla, or nervous break
down. is the most common disease
among New York school teachers.
This fact is set forth in the annual re-
port just issued by the secretary OF
the board of retirement of the board
Of education.
Since the board Of retirement came
into existence nearly three years ago,
345 persons have applied for the bene-
fits of the retirement fund on the plea
of service. In most of these cases
the length of service was considerably
more than thirty years, in many in
stances more than forty years, and in
several more than half century.
"The principal reason" says the
secretary, was given as 'neurasthe-
MIA, which claimed 124 applicants;
then followed heart disease, 81; rheu-
matism, so; indigestion, Is, and deaf
ness, 13."
When the present law became effec-
tive, about three years ago, there
were on the teachers annuity roll OF
New York 702 teachers. 80 men and
669 women. Under the new order Of
things, "a men and $40 women have
been retired, but as CT annuitants
have died within this period there are
now total of 46 men and 92S women
in all 909, participants in the benefits
of the fund.
Since Dec. 81, 1904, the fund for the
payment Of retired teachers has in
creased. from $9O7924,S7 to $1,196,-
1924 on Dec. 81 last. The aggre-
gate annuity of the 500 teachers on
the roll is $729,917.S8, an average Of
$7543O. For the last two years the
teachers have contributed more than
half of the fund.--New York Times.

AT the Mississippi Experiment Sta
tion careful tests have been made to
determine the value of alfalfa pasture
without grain for hogs. Pigs ranging
in age from three to twenty-four
months have been used, and the re-
suit Of two years work show that al
falfa is little more than main
tenance ration for growing hogs with
out grain. Satisfactory gains have
always been secured from alfalfa pas
lures by supplementing the pasture
with from one to two per cent. Of the
weight of the hogs in corn or other
grain.
Cowpeas without grain SO far have
given better results than any other
crop for hog pasture. In one test the
crop was grown on thin hill land,
where one acre of cowpeas produces
$50 pounds of pork, In another test
on rich valley land one acre Of cow
peas produced 4S3 pounds of pork.
The hogs were put in the field when
the peas were about ripe. w

1t almost seemed q joke, so jolly was
Black Feathers voice.
John took MINDLESS halter. and then
he saw that the Indian boy had a gun
and was running toward the blackened
ruin of the log house
John sprang on MINDLESS back, and
with cry, 'Honel home, good horse!"
he lay fiat upon the animals back and
buried his face in the soft name.
Just then shot rang out on the
still night and the four Indians started
to life behind the wood pile. They saw
Nimble disappearing in the moonlight,
and they fired few wild shots; but
again and again answering shots came
from behind the ruined log house, and
the Indians, evidently thinking res
cue party had come after Johp, was
covering his retreat, and would later
come out in an open attack, got fright
ened. From the back of his fast-fying
steed John laughed as he saw the
four braves taking to the opposite di-
rection with equal haste And John
knew that one Indian boy, faithful to
his little white friend, was saving them
all.
John reached home before daylight
and you can imagine what welcome
he and Nimble received!
Two days later Black Feather ap-
peared and asked for bread. Not a
word could the family get him to say
of his part in the rescue. He ate a
good meal and told few fine stories to
adoring John then wandered away
across the plain, looking much the
same as any other Indian. Washing

Investigation keep the farmers chill

kinds of noxious weeds; cows eat
from $50 to 200 kinds, while horses
eat less than 100 kinds. Sheep not

GpaldiatlGr'S Story.

This all happened when grandfather
was little boy-long, long ago, as ne
told me the story himself, however, as
he sat in deep armchair by the glow
ing fire on winters night when the
& buzz of the great city was dying down
and the top of the policeman's club on
the pavement outside made me, at
least, feel very safe and thankful.
When grandfather was a boy ne
lived on the frontier, and he was the
loneliest little boy ever heard OF. just
think; he did not have single play
mate, and he never owned toy except
those he fashioned with his own hands!
Of course he had bow and arrow,
and he had feather headdress that
friendly Indian had given him, but
they were not exactly playthings. !
have said that he had no playmates;
that is hardly true, for he had Nimble
Foot, the white horse, who had been
born and brought up on the ranch, and
he had Brindle, the COW, who was
''staked out in a new place so often,
and ate everything within range of her
rope in really alarming fashion;
and then sometfmes-not often, but
sometimes, when times were hard
Black Feather, an Indian boy, crept up
to the big house where grandfather
lived, and begged food Of the mother,
and told weird tales that chilled the
blood of little grandfather as he sat
and listened. Black Feather did not
belong to the friendly Indians and the
mother was afraid of him. She always
thought that he came to spy on them.
But she gave him food and tried to be-
friend him because her heart was good
and true. Now, grandfather, whose
name is John, liked Black Feather, not
only because he was young and COM
uanionable, but because he believed in
him and trusted him with all the de-.
votion of his lonely boyhood. He
used to watch for the coming of the
Indian and sighed when the months
passed without visit.
John used to resort to all sorts Of
plays to fill his days. He was an In
dian. a trapper, or missionary, as the
mood seized him, and sometimes he
would don his mothers gown and play
he was a brave woman defending a
large family as he was sure his mother
would defend him. When all these
plays ceased to interest him he would
tie a rope to his waist, and he would
tie .ae other end to a peg in the
ground and then he would make be-
Iieve he was the cow, Brindle, "staked
out" To be so confined made him
realize how jolly it was to be free boy
with father and mother to talk to.
Then would John release himself and
be glad that he was not COW; and
so he would begin the old games again
with renewed vigor.
Nimble Foot was great joy. That
horse was almost human in his love
and gentleness, and yet he was as swift
as the wind and as strong as a horse
well could be.
"Some ,ay the Indians will come af-
ter that horse" father used 10 say,
with fear in his eyes; there isn't an
other horse like him on the plains"

to the loss of the Eclipse some of the

the captain took good care that such
was the case, came before the men
