When the Farm Home Needs
Amusement.

When the long winter nights begin
the farmers family will miss the
work that occupied them during the
summer and great many hours will
hang heavily, unless something in the
way of mutual interest and pleasure
is afforded the family.
:. 1t is during the winter time, when
life about the farm is apt to be lit
tie monotonous, that the boys begin
to think of life in the big cities or
ION the ocean wave" By the time
spring gets around again, the toll of
missing members in the farmers
families throughout the country will
be large.
Music has come to be recognized
as one of the most potent and elevat
ing inf1ue noes on home life. Wher
ever there is an abundance of good
music you will invariably find
happy contented family.
The spread of good music among
farmers homes has been very rapid
since the perfection of the improved
Victor, and it is increasing continual
ly as more people hear the Victor and
realize the great value of this wonder
full instrument as source OF pleasure
and education.
Every form and variety of musical
EXPRESSION worth while can be enjoy
ed upon the Victor. And the daz-
zlino array Of world famous singers
and lnstrumentalists who provide
their superb art for the pleasure OF
the Victor owner, almost staggering
IN it's magnitude.
Numbered among those who make
records for the great Victor library
civ WI
held audiences spell bound in every
part of the civilized world. Caruso,
Melba, Tetrazzini, Farrar, Gad5ki,
and Schumann- Heink are all to be
heard in this glitGering throng.
Mischa Elman, the youthful Russian
yiolinist whose marvellous command
of his instrument has stirred all
Europe, plays for the farmer in the
quiet of his home with all the fairy
like grace and sweetness that has
charmed the ears of kings and en-
perors. Throngs of people have jam
med their way into sitting theatre
to hear De Wolf Hopper recite his
side splitting casey at the Bat. -
And still further thousands have
waited patiently to hear Harry Laud-
err sing in his irresistible manner
"She's NV Daisy 81 Love A Las
sie'' or some other of his delicious
Scotch songs.
Every one of these songs can be
heard on the Victor with far more en-
ioyment than in a crowded theatre
and instead of yelling yourself hoarse
for the double enjoyment of solitary
= encore the Victor's will sing them
over and over to your hearts content.
Anvone who has not heard the I'M

BIRDS AND FARMS.

The Philadelphia Farm Journal tells
~ a Cook county farmer at Mont Glare
who recently took TO market single
load Of garden truck that yielded him
800 in cash.
Such a feat, In itself a distinction. Is
reinforced by a trait that has made
this farmer known to great portion
Of this country. II is his unusual and
persistent' friendship for birds-birds
that cheer a farmer in his home and
follow him in the furrow eating up de-
structive worms and insects. In this
matter he not only has benefited his
own home and farm. hut the farms OF
the entire community. He feeds. pro-
tects and propagates birds. his partic-
ular friend being robin redbreast.
The Journal says:
ON his work MFR. McGawn annually

ANTS TO EAT FLIES.

Captain +. l.. Jones OF the medical
corps OF the army Is said to have made
the discovery. in the Philippines. that
a certain ant Is feeding upon the larvae
OF the house fly so voraciously that only
few arrive at the age OF maturity. and
files are, consequently. rare in those is
lands
The suggestion Is made that that
benevolent ant be invited to come to
this country and live in our barnyards
and other breeding places Of flies. Ants.
SAYS one contemporary. OF the species
known TO our little brown brothers
should be brought to America and
colonized. This is an ant that ought to
be taught 10 follow the flag, and he
ought periodically to do as good work
in this country as In the Islands
Any exterminator Of the disease-car-
rylng, annoying insect ought to be well
come. A reduction in the density OF
the United States fly population would
be a great Improvement. The exter-
mlnation of the fly would mean not
only a great reduction in some dis
eases but perhaps the complete extinc-
tlon OF others.
But would the ant. granted IT lives
on tender fly meat, be a safe addition
to our fauna? The addition OF the Eng
lsh sparrow to our bird population has
not brought any blessings. We would
think. unless the habits Of the ant are
fully known and its responsibility prop
erly vouched for. the experiment should
not be made

GOODNESS AND CLOTHING,

II Is said that black colored UNDER
clothing is now preferred In various
tropical countries In which there are
European colonies
A medical magazine claims that
dark-colored clothing affords better
protection from the heat than do the
cloths OF lighter hues. II IL also sug-
gested that this may be the reason
why nature gives dark skin to those
who dwell in hot countries
The medical Journal claims that ex-
periments were made In this coun-
try by certain physicians IS years
ago demonstrating beyond doubt this
fact. that the demonstration was
recognized In England and France
and acted upon in their tropical
colonies, but has not yet been accept
ed In this country.
Our writer adds these remarks as

Besides the widespread white cloth
Ing heresy, there is another common
Tlistako In summer garb.
1T is supposed that those who are
exposed to the sun should wear light
weight hats, preferably of straw. But
the universal usage OF laborers in the
sun contradicts this supposition.
Outdoor workers In the United
States--in the fields. on the railroad or
laying pipes In city streets-manifest
an instructive and well-nigh unlani-
nous preference for black felt hats.
Those who are exposed to the sun
feel the need Of a substantial head
covering
at is for this reason that the ma
tlves of tropical countries swathe their
brows In thick turbans and elaborate
head-dresses."
As to the black colors OF clothing
II has long been a commonplace OBJ
servation that black colors absorb
more heat than do the lighter ones.
Thus II a black cloth Is laid upon
snow in sunlight. the snow melts
much faster under the cloth than else
where. and much faster than Il

This would indicate that black outer
