Untold Love.

The mystery of love enshrouds the
feet of God, SO that we cannot see
through the clouds and darkness which
are around the eternal throne, and we
sit perplexed at the strange things in
our lives, and we gaze at the stars and
remain silent. We cannot solve the
problems which confront us every day,
and we wonder whether or not we have
been forgotten by Him who loves Us.
We cannot see Him and we dare not
attempt to build our tiny Babies to
affront Him nor sit under whitening
gourd as protest against His dealings.
But He has treasurers in store for each
of us awaiting the day of revealing,
and the secrets of His love will be
made known. Have courage and trust
Him for He has not told you all there
is hidden away for your peace and COM
fort in the days of need. God is good.
Clouds may hang over your pathway,
yet you may know and sing:
God is so good, He wears fold
OF heaven and earth across His face
Like secrets kept, for love, untold.u

RANCH AND HOUSEHOLD.

Birds on the Farm.

Among the farmers best friends are
the birds that visit his fields and
orchards. The good that they do is
not often appreciated. We are certain
to notice the loss of crop through in
sect pests; but when the crop is good,
it seldom occurs to us to think that it
might have been lost but for the good
offices of friends or favorably condi-
tions.
Insect enemies are almost always
present in sufficient number to do con-
siderable damage if they are not kept
in check by their enemies. One of the
best regulators of insect life is the birds
In the winter months the trees are
thoroughly searched by chickadees,
which pick up insect eggs and tear
open cocoons and nests. These birds
eat seeds as well, and can be attrac ted
to the place by being fed hayseed, suet,
and other dainty bits.
Various members of the woodpecker
family are to be seen during the winter
The flicker remains in Colorado
throughout this season and busies itself
hunting hiding insects of all kinds,
They are especially fond of wood bor-
ing grubs, ants, cocoons of various
insects, and eat insect eggs whenever
they are to be found. When we con-
slider the number of these small Great
ures for the meal of a bird, and the
power these have Of reproducing them
selves if left undestroyed, we can get
some idea of the benefit derived from
this winter work.
The horned larks are to be found in
the fields during the greater part of the
winter. While their food consists
chiefly of weed seed, any insect which
is unfortunate enough to expose itself
is likely to be pounced upon.
The meadow larks return with the
early spring, and in some parts of the
state remain all winter. AT this season
they search everywhere for cutworms,
which form a large portion of their
diet. Cutworms are among the worst
insect enemies of the farmer. They
are almost always more or less abund-
ant and do injury which does not at
tract much attention because of the
small amount, but which in the aggre-
gate must be of considerable i'm
portance.
The blackbirds often do very great
service eating the caterpillars from field
crops, especially near the bodies of
water where these birds make their
homes.
Most hawks and owls are of distinct
value to the farmer, particularly the
larger species. They live chiefly on
mice, rabbits and gophers, with few
small birds for relish. Great harm is
often done by the indescriminate kill
ing of these birds.-S. Arthur Johnson,
of the Colorado Agricultural College.

that is adapted for service on the

true of some of the smaller craft; but
