USEFULNESS OF BIRDS. (
How They Preserve the Trees and
Plants of tI,es Farmer.

Now and again some enterprising
newspaper man, expatiating on the
work of the Audubon societies. dishes
up a remarkable symposium regarding
some undertaking of the Natural AS
ISOLATION or makes extraordinary
claims in respect to the usefulness of
birds. Then some doubling Thomas"
very properly discounts the tale, and
even expresses doubt as to whether tho
birds are, after all, SO necessary to
mans welfare as the protectionists
would have us believe. But the
practical beneficial results of the work
of the birds have now been so long
observed and so conclusiveIy proven
that there is no longer any room for
doubt regarding their usefulness. De-
struction of trees and crops always
follows extreme depletion Of the num-
bers Of the smaller native birds. More
over, conservation of birds produces
the opposite effect.
In 1S94-5 l made experiments to at
tract birds into an old orchard in Med
ford, Mass. Food and nesting boxes
brought the birds to the orchard in
considerable numbers. The succeeding
summer apple-tree insects, such as the
|cankerworm and the tent caterpillars
were very abundant and stripped the
foliage from most of the apple trees in
the town; but mine remained in good
foliage and bore almost the only full
crop of fruit in town that year. Details
of this experiment are given in a
bulletin entitled Birds as Protectors
of Orchards" which is published and
distributed free by the Massachusetts
State Board of Agriculture. Similar
experiments year after year have de-
monstrated clearly the dollars and
cents value Of the birds in orchard and
woodland. But while my observations
We're under way the German Baron
Hans Won Berlepsch was carrying out,
unknown to me, a number of more
extensive and painstaking experiments
in bird conservation on his great estate
at Seebach He secured results there
far more striking than my modest
efforts produced here. He studied the
birds, and those of constructing nest
ing boxes and preparing bird shelters.
He carried out the game preserve
principle with birds until he had
breeding on his home park of II acres
about one thousand small birds, two
pairs of wild ducks, one pair of moor
hens and one of grebes. Three hun
bred nesting boxes hung up in his
grounds are all inhabited by birds In
his 400 acres of woodland there are O.
900 nesting boXes.-Exchange

Hiuh Grade Farm Dairy.

Our cream is separated kept in cream
cans and when ripe churned in bar
rel churn, attending carefully to the
correct temperature The salt is work
ed in with a ladle and the butter is
then put through a butter worker.
We use one ounce of salt to a pound
of butter. 1t is then put into one
pound brick molds and each brick
wrapped in butter paper, says G. H.
Glover. 1t is then packed in a case
of trays with an ice box in the center
so that the butter is kept cool until
delivered to the consumer. After COM
pairing results with the sale of the
cream to a successful creamery, we
decided that it pays better to make
the butter on the farm.
The cows are kept in box stalls,
using plenty of bedding, and great care
is taken to remove all loose dirt before
milking. After separation tho cream
is kept in cool place until about 36
hours before churning. when it is grad
ually heated to about rs degrees, then
cooled to from Sc to 66 degrees. These
temperatures are for winter. Cream
will heat enough to ripen in summer.
1t is best to churn three times week
to secure best quality. 1 use barrel
churn, which is best to operate, best
for the butter and best to keep clean.
We wash the butter in grain form,
working salt in thoroughly, and work
again until the milk and water are all
out and no streaks remain. In taking
the butter to consumers, I use care tC
have it clean and with perfectly clean
napkins of paper. The person who de-
livers the butter should always be es-
pecially neat in dress and aDpearance.

GAR DINER.
AT THE COLISEUM.
One Team in Six-day Race Disquali
fled for "Lyinq Down."

Controversy between the contestants in
the 6-day roller skating race at the Coli
scum broke into open strife last night
when Emery and Fourier, the No. l
team, were disqualified and fired out OF
the contest on a charge of Lying down"
The skating was extraordinarily fast, as
is shown by the fact that the contestants
covered whole mile more than on the
opening evening.
According to the official record, Goggin
and Baker, the No. 3 team went into
first place, covering 16 miles and s laps, a
gain of practically two laps and total
of 81 miles, % ga laps for the two nights
racing.
Gendron and Muree covered 16 miles and
laps, making total of 81 miles and u
laps.
Its a crooked layout" said Manager
Burns in an interview a few minutes af-
ter the race. land they were thrown out.
The men that skate here have got to
skate on the level to win. Emery and
Fournier laid down to let another team
pass them and they can't skate here any
more"
Fourier in a statement to Journal
man said that the disqualification was
unjust. The contention arose when Four
nier fell and Murree passed him and En-
ery replaced Fourier behind Murree.
Fourier and Emery hold that the gain
made by Murree was legitimate, while
the officials held that Emery might have
taken a place ahead of Murree.
Many thought when Manager Burns
offered 500, $50 and $25 in prizes for the
6-day roller race that he would not meet
with the required attendance. Any per-
son in the Coliseum last evening would
have been glad to take the receipts and
pay the bills. 1t will probably be the
biggest week since the opening of this
beautiful place of amusement. The race
is really too exciting-it thrills person
through and through. When Baker and
the Indian or Goggin and Gendron come
down the sides neck and neck there is
something stirring and the balconies
tremble. What is s1S5 in prizes with
crowds like those attending the races?
There seems to be no special favorites
in the race. although Goggins' stock is
always good and Baker and the Indian.
Mrrree have a great following in Gardi-
ner They are going the pace that seems
too fast for a weeks skating but all
three teams look good to finish strong.
Their standing to date is:
Gendron and Murree.
Baker and Goggin.
Emery and Founeer.
The balcony and first fbur rows on the
stage are reserved and seats now on sale
at box Office.
