CLEVER BIRDS AND ANIMALS
Magpies and Cats Possess Unusual In
teIiect-Interesting Tale of
Kitten and Tom Cat.

Magpies are as clever as they are
noisy. One was offered an extinguish-
ed cigar stump which 1t began to tear
apart. But apparently changing Its
mind. the bird proceeded to rub the
stump, held in its beak. over. every
part of its body including the wings,

the same result. The magpie is so
fond of tobacco that 1t repeatedly has
snatched lighted cigar from mans
hand against his will 1t also picks
up fallen cigar ashes and strews them
over its feathers.
1t is thought that these actions
have purpose, the destruction of par
asites, and are determined by atavism,
or inherited instinct. In the wild
state some unidentified plant must
have been used as an insecticide in
stead of tobacco. The magpies action,

TO INCREASE
FARM CROPS
All Progressive AgricuIturists
Interested IN Question of
How to Make Lando
Yield More.

All progressive agriculturists are
deeply interested in the question of
how to increase the yield per acre in
the cultivated sections of the United
States.
1t is well known that the European
grows larger crops per acre than are
grown in this country. and, as the
price of farm land is increasing and
there is demand for larger crops
each year, it is necessary to study
and learn how the output of the soil
can be made to meet the increased
demand for all farm products.
The average yield of wheat per acre
for 1909 was: England. 344; France,

A gentleman in Ohio was watch

him to try what effect the sound of
tuning fork would have upon them
He suspected that they would take it
for the buzzing of fly.
He selected large. ugly spider that
had been feasting on flies for two
months. The spider was at one edge
of its web. Sounding the fork, the
man touched a thread at the other
side and watched the result Mr.. Spi-
der had the buzzing sound conveyed
to him over his telephone wires, but
how was he to know on which partic-

He ran to the center of the web
very quickly and felt all around un-
til he touched the thread against the
other erd of which the fork was
sounding; then. taking another thread
along. just as a man would take an
extra piece Of rope. he ran out to the
fork and sprang upon 1t.
Then he retreated little way and
looked at the fork. He was puzzled.
He had expected to find buzzing fly
He got on the fork again and danced
