Defense Of the Sparrow.

Let US see what a weed means to
the farmer! A thousand per cent. is
the increase nature yields in corn;
but the ordinary garden weed repro
duces in a single season from a sim
gle plant 100000 seeds, which in an
other year would yield 1000, 900, 900
weed plants. Up in Indian Head, in
northwest Canada, whereof any place
on earth-frost should prove death to
weeds. the government horticulturist
found tumbling mustard plant which
by actual count produced 100000
seeds. Science may counsel spraying
for weeds; but you can't spray out
weeds that are carried to the four cor
ners of the earth by winds, and wing
their way in all sorts of fairy para
chutes like thistle and '~deliOn
down. The only way to destI, such
weeds is to destroy the seeds ca ly in
the game, says Agnes c. Laut, in ut
ing. Now there is probably no bird
regarded as more of pest than the
AlelC SidiIOW. Ills lll-DItu, lOuu-
voiced clatter drives away song birds.
He hangs round your barn and steals
your grain, and he nests in the caves
OF your poultry house and infests the
cracks with that vermin pest of chick
en- life-mites-and he proves a mussy
visitant on your house piazzas. Yet
balance the little sparrow's account
with what is to his credit. A scientist
in Iowa by test after test found that In
winter time the sparrow ate about
quarter of an ounce of weed seed
day. Then he counted the number OF
Bparrows ordinarily seen in winter to
the square mile. He put the number
at ten. l think that is away below the
average. Try it yourself, wherever
you live; but on the basis Of ten birds
to the square mile, he figured that the
sparrows must eat in the state of
Iowa alone S75 tons OF weeds win

out how many acres of good land
those weeds would have assuredly con-
taminated.

There will be much discussion of
farming for the next few months from
many angles, one among them being
the most useful size of farms, says
writer in Golfers Weekly. We do
not wish to be one-sided, and shall
always state fairly the large farm or
combination arguments, but it seems
to us that farming in this respect is
the exception among businesses. Eco
nomy in the cost of supervision is the
only reason for the expansion of the
unit in any business, and land is more
productive under the small farm sys-
TEN. Even il larger farm units are
possible they are not desirable. We
DO not want the European regime Of
an overload with-tenant farmers. We
want the greatest number Of independ-
ent little farmers, who hardly need
even one farmland James ]. Hill
has more sense than nearly all of the
professors, and he delivered an opin-
ion two years ago to the effect that
the individual farmer must have fewer
acres and more hoes.

The automobile is forcing the COM
ing OF the dustless road. 1t is making
the nuisance of dust on unwatered and
unpaved highways, in the dry weather
OF an American summer, so great an
evil that it cannot long be endured.
There will have TO be a cure for the
dust or else the dislike of automobiles
which is still common in the country,
will grow into more active hostility.
AS 1t is, many farmers find their
homes half-spOiled in the pleasantest
part of the year by the clouds OF dust
set in motion by the swift and massive
motor cars which pass their doors.
Windows cannot be opened without
filling the best rooms in the houses
with dust. Furniture is begrimed and
the air of bedrooms is made thick when
1t ought to be clean and pure. Driv-
Ing for business or pleasure along
dust-choked roads is made burden
some for man and beast, in some
much-used automobile thoroughfares.
The motor cars and their occupants
suffer with the rest. They get a large
share of the dust nuisance

DIDN'T WANT TO WASTE TIME.
CoIored Fisherman Most Satisfied

Riding across the country one day..
DR.. Blank noticed an old negro who
had been for quite a while perched
motionless upon little bridge, fish,
ing silently from the stream beneath.
For some time he watched him from
distance, but finally, overcome by
the old fellows unmoved patience. he
rode up and accosted him.
Hello, Wash! What are you doing
up there?" ' +
"Fishin", sab" came the reply.
"Not. getting many, are your"

Esther was in the dining room and

violins began to twang, arousing
Esther from her reverie. The callers
voice came clear, and the low. seduc-

one the men finished eating and went
out. The voice of the town called
louder and louder. Esther wondered,

Then the two women chatted a little
longer, when Esther, still tired from

went to her bed.
But not to sleep. Unhindered by
tent walls the drone of the fiddles
came in at her open window; and the
clink of glasses, the rhythmic beat OF

girls between sets. How had she
shown thankfulness for the boon OF

other night when his train was in and
his reports made; joy to know that
her presence comforted Sally B., whose
heart, despite her busy. life, longed for
her only child, and grieved for the
older child who logged her footsteps,
did her errands, followed her with
meek, trustful eyes, The spell of the

seeing Alfred, still held Esther. Gid

out OF Esther's way. Sally B. met him

upon him and asked him of his stay;
but he evaded her with half-coherent
reply about seeing the railroad
through. She mentally substituted
Esther for the railroad, knowing it
was for chance glimpses of her ne
