Want The Birds Protected.

Proposing to save the people Of this
country at least $4,000, 900 each year,
plans for National Audubon University.
to be endowed with 81, ooo. 900, have been
announced in New York.
Based upon the known annual crop loss
of $1,000, 900, 900 due to the spreading
pests that the insect-eating birds destroy,
the calculations of the National Asso-
citation of Audubon Societies, which is
putting forth this project, show that the
teaching of bird value from such an in
stitution must resultin wiping out at least
one per cent of the huge national penalty
for popular lack of knowledge on this
subject. When $1,000, 600 can be raised
for the new university it is proposed to
start at once its work, which promises
eventually to- contribute hundreds of
millions to American prosperity.
Every man, woman and child through
ont the United States is to be included as
student in the proposed Audubon uni
versity. Through hundreds of lecturers
and teachers, who are to be educated in
the science of Natures checks 10 the
destruction of the couptry's crop and
woods, the economic principles of bird
preservation will be taught to the people
of every community.
Reports from every State and county in
the land have convinced the officers of
the National Association of Audubon
Societies that all the American people are
now ready and eager to learn TO guard
against the money loss that surely follows
the destruction of the country's feathered
resources. Only the wide presentation
of the facts and figures of economic bird
value can ever check the alarming spread
of crop plaques over the continent. the
ornithologists and agricultural authorities
declare.

President Taft recommends an increase
of postage on second class matter, which
means papers and magazines, because he
claims, they do not pay enough to keep
up the expenses. Of course the postal
system does not pay its way, but the
reason it does not is because Congress
allows the railroads $50, 900, 900 year
for hauling the mails, which is eight
times as much per pound as the railroads
charge the express companies for similar
service. That gives the railroads SO, ooo.-
600 year more than rightly belongs to
them, and as the postal deficit is only
$I7, 900, 900 it is easy to see what sur
plus would accrue to the government if
Congress was not packed with railroad
attorneys and other men put there
through the influence of big corporations,
who vote against the peoples interests
on every measure that in any way affects
the money interests.

Comb Honeu Prices.

There is very little comb honey left
in the state and the price is almost sure
to rise as the local market will soon
take up all the small lots that are left.
The beekeeper who has nice articles
of comb honey can get three dollars a
case for it very soon if not now. 1t
would not be poor policy to sort over
the comb honey and sell all that shows
any signs of granulation. Hold the
combs so the light will shine through;
if any cloudy spots show they are like
ly caused by candied honey. The cloudy
parts appear first along the edge of the
comb, next the wood.
