THREAT OF RoUP.

Go into the poultry house after
the birds have gone to roost and
listen. If you hear any OF the fowls
making a rattling noise when they
breath, you can make up your mind
that they have caught cold and it be-
hooves you to get busy. A cold is a
forerunner OF roup, and should be
checked in the incipient stage. Have
bottle of some good roup cure
always at hand for emergency cases.

HAWKS DESTROYING QUAIL.


I have noticed several articles on
the quail and quail hunters in your
paper. and they have attracted my
attention to the loss Of quail due to
hawks. During this season when the
ground is covered with snow the
hawks principal diet is quail. While
driving along road near a hedge
recently, noticed hawk in hot pur-
suit of quail. but the quail few into
the hedge and escaped. Two days
later passed the same way and again
saw the hawk waiting for its prey.

found that it had been feeding on
quail.

it had just eaten four quails. This

hawks around.

not destroy quail, as well as other
small birds. especially during the
winter season.
Some people think the sparrow
hawk, as the name implies, lives
principally on sparrows. but this is
not the case. It's name is taken from
the size of the bird. which is the
smallest of its species. The sparrow

INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS

The most profitable breed of water
fowl or other poultry is the Indian
Runner ducks, native of India were
exported to England where now they
are great favorite with the poultry
breeders. After a few years trial in
the United States, they have become
such favorites with breeders that the
supply of eggs and stock are not equal
to the demand Many parties last
season could not get stock or eggs
for Matching and the demand for eggs
this spring will be greater than ever.
They are not large, generally called

produce the eggs, even in zero wea-

as high as $50 eggs for each fowl
for the year. They are easily raised
and require no more feed than our

and have only praise for them. BY

FIRE, FLOOD, DROUGHT, FROST
AND INSECTS THE CAUSE, AN
EXPERT SAYS.
WASTE IN PRODUCTIVE STAGE
There is a Preventable Economic
Loss of More Than Three Billion
Dollars Annually, Says n. L. Har-
ris, Economist

New York, June 29.-That the not
to be forgotten cost of living prop-
lem does not hinge upon lavish
expenditure for luxures, but rather
upon waste in the productive stage,
is the declaration of II. l.. Harris, an
expert economist. who has prepared
lengthy document to prove his
theory.
AS some of these causes Mr.
Harris cites loss by flood, fire,
drought, frost and insect depreda-
tions. these being chargeable large.
ly to negligence and ignorance.
The fire loss is given as 19S mil
lion dollars in 1909; that of flood
and frost beyond computation. OF
annual depreciation it is said that
the boil weevil loss was 80 million
dollars; by ground squirrels 10 mil
lion dollars adde1 to that by rab-
bits. field mice and prairie dogs.
The brown rat and others of its class
cost the country 100000 last year.
Farm, orchard and garden losses
range from 10 to 70 per cent year,
when they might be prevented by
known inexpensive means. Apple
tree spraying will protect so per
cent to 70 per cent of the fruit
otherwise wormy, at cost Of ten
cents tree.
1t is estimated by authorities that
the damage caused by flies viii
amount to more than 20 million dol
lars annually. Mosquitoes cause a
great amount of sickness, which in
creases our living expenses. Farm
carelessness in feeling and housing
live stock also adds to the cost.
Mr.. Harris concludes from these
conditions: That there Is a prevent
able economic loss of more than
three billion dollars annually; that
health will improve when hygienic
precautions are enforced. that the
preservation of fruit, trees, grains,
etc, on the farm will increase The
production and reduce the cost to
the consumer; that when the farmer
realizes the necessity of ventilation
and proper feeding of stock there
will be less condemnation of ami
mails ard meat; that when food is
properly preserved to protect it from
deterioration condemnation by health
authorities will be lessened. increas-
ing the supply AM lessening the

TEMPERANCE I'M ENGLAND.
Americans Setting the Fashion will
Iced Drinks.

The remarkable wave of temperance
which is at present spreading all over
the country is said to be due in the
first place to economic conditions, and,
secondly, to the great change in public
taste, says London Express.
One of the chief reasons of the de-
crease in the national drink bill. said
John I. Rae, secretary OF the National
Temperance League, is the striking
condemnation of the use of alcohol by
some Of the most influential medical
authorities.
Another important factor In the de-
creased consumption OF wines and spr-
ita Is the fashion set by the large num-
Der of American visitors, who show q
remarkable preference for iced temper
ance drinks.
The total abstinence of the majority
of the labor leaders is also beginning
to tell on the lahoring classes and
members of trade unions, many OF
whom are now beginning to realize that
teetotalism is an important stepping
stone to their future progress. "
There is no doubt" the manager of
one of the largest firms of wine mer-
chants told an Express representative,
that the decrease in wine and spirit
drinking is due to the present tight
ness Of money and the high rate OF the
income tax. In consequence OF this tho
public are only spending about half as
much on wines as they were formerly
in the habit of doing"
