CROW WORRIED THE GOLFERS
Bird Of Fastidious Tastes Would
sWoop Down and Steal Only
the New Balls.

The crow seems to be attracted to
golf balls in a way wholly peculiar
from the rest OF the bird species. In
parks where the rook and the crow
abound one can notice them sitting
in the trees or hopping about the put
ting green's in the distance watching
the ball with a direct or sidelong
glance expressive of the keenest in
terest and curiosity, which Is soon
translated into a desire to carry II off
to the Toost in the neighhoring wood.
The Kew gardens adjoin the Mid
Surrey course. and in the royal pre-
serve there used to be a fairly large
colony Of crows nesting among the
trees. OF this colony there was one
particular crow who found his greatest
amusement In mingling among the
golfers and In disconcerting their play
by indulging in repeated predatory
campaigns against their golf balls.
His policy was to hover in attend
ance on those players who used new
white balls only. Those on which the
paint had been Clipped or which had
been used in play for several rounds
BY an economical player were always
rejectad BY this particular bird ~
being beneath hia fasudtpvs atfen.

Sugar Instead of Alcohol.

Indeed, the role and Importance
of sugar as rapid reliever Of ia
tigue is one which we are only be-
ginning to appreciate, and which
goes surprisingly far already. 1t
has been incorporated into the
most hard-headed, cold -blooded,
matter Of fact diet on earth, the
German army rations, especially
the ''forced. march" emergency IA
ton. No other food of its bulk
can take its place. 1t is the belief
of careful observers of men, pur-
ticularly in the tropics, that the
larger the amount of sugar, and
sugar containing goods they are
supplied with, the less alcohol and
other stimulants they will crave.
For instance, the United States
Government buys the best and
purest of candy by the ton and
ships it to the Philippines, to be
supplied to the canteens and mess
es, finding that its use diminishes
the craving for native brandy; and
1t has long been a matter of COM
ment from thoughtful observers
that the amount of drunkenness of
a race or class is in inverse ratio to
the amount of sugar it consumes.

In the great West, where water

In the great West, where water
is scarce, farmers are utilizing
their wind mills to generate cur
rent for light a1d power. A stor-
age battery is provided to store
away enough electricity to last a
dav or two in case the wind fails.
Wind and water power are CON-
bined to fill hydraulic accumula-
tor, which develops current.
In California the sun is harness
ed to develop electrical power for
farm work. Huge redeetors fol-
low the course of the sun and focus
the rays on the boiler. The steam
is conveyed to small engine
which drives the generator. So in
South America, Swiss valleys, tea
and cotton fields in India, The
African veldt, the farmers are be-
ginning to use electricity for agri-
cultural purposes.

Electricity Is New Farm "Hired
Hand"

The little brook goes on forever,
and its power can be turned into
electrical energy and transmitted
any distance to the farms or
villages. All through the Eastern
States the cid mill ponds are being
repaired and used to generate
electrical power. A little farm
plant in New York consists of a
nine.inch upright turbine of five
horse power. running with a IS
foot head. The dynamo, which is
four horse power machine, takes
care of go ordinary lights, drives a
milk separator, miIks the cows,
turns a grindstone, tanning mill or
feed grinder, cuts the ensilage, or
drives a dozen other small machin-
es. 1t can do the work of three
hired men and furnish all the CON-
forts of electric heat and light be-
sides. rhe total cost is about
$3OO-less than the years wages
of hired man.
At another farm a small dynamo
and electric fixtures were bought
at sale for about $45. The dyna'

We have noticed that as long as
attempts at regulating the mono
polistic corporations was confined
to the pleasant little occupation OF
chasing the devil around the stump,
wherein the law was ''yindicated"
and the trusts in no wise seriously
affected, many of the great daily
papers were enthusiastic on the
subject of legal control of the
trusts; but now that President Taft
has proposed plan that touches
the moncpolistic corporations in a
really tender spot, the pocketbook,
there goes up howl in opposition
from every one of these trusti6ed
organs, regardless of what lolitic-
al party they are lining up with.
ut is no part of the Republican
platform" says one prominent Re-
publican party organ, speaking OF
the Presidents plan to levy a tax
on corporation incomes, and should
never have been brought up at
this time. Why should it not? If
we are ever going to apply law
for trust regulation that will regu-
late why wait first for party de-
claration? The question is not a
new one; on the contrary, it is one
that the people have been conf
IDENTIFY expecting the party in pow
or to take some decisive action up
on, and we should Judge from the
decided stand Mr.. Taft has taken
on this tax proposition, that he
has a firm finger upon the popular
pulse. We do not believe the
trusts are really much concerned
in the actual levy, for a payment
of twenty or thirty millions year
would be mere bagatelle TO them !;
but what they are concerned in is
that they will have to disclose to
some extent the amount of their
profits. Let it once be exposed
under public examination of their
affairs that the profits of the great
corporations are as swollen as it
has been freely hinted they are, it
would open not only a source of
greater revenue to the government,
but it would bring upon them the
wrath of the consumer, from
whom the profits are taken, and
the resentment of labor over the
unjust division of the spoils. But
in spite of the strenuous opposition
that is being invoked against the
corporation tax amendment, it
now seems pretty certain that it
will go through with the tariff bill;
not that this will end the fight up
on it though, for it will then be as
sailed in the courts upon the ques-
ton of its constitutionality.

When the threatened legislation
against the protective tariff at the
beginning of the second Cleveland
administration shook the industrial
organization of this country, which
was followed by decline in the
purchasing power of the consumer
to the lowest ebb, the farmer sold
his wheat for IS or 40 cents per

not affect farm products directly,
but indirectly it is heavy factor
