ENGLISH SPARROW is MENACE
SO Regarded by Minnesota State En-
tomoIogst Because II Destroys
Much Farm Produce.

The English sparrow is looked upon
by the Minnesota state entomologist
at the experiment station as a menace
to farmers, not only destroying grain,
but also driving away useful birds
The division OF entomology suggests
that very humane way Of destroying
them is to feed them wheat for few
morning in the winter, In a straight
line, in yard or field, and when the
birds have become accustomed to the
system to rake the line with gun
loaded with fine shot Wheat. II has
been said. may be soaked In whisky
and eaten by the sparrows inducing
such intoxication that they may be
nickod up and killed Destroying
sparrows' nests several times In sue
cession, as they were built. has dis
couraged nesting in the locality. De-
struction bv means of active poisons
is not recommended by the division
because the dead birds are eaten by
cats. poultry, etc. The entomologlst
has discouraged their roosting during
the winter under the caves of his
own home and deflling the building,
by the use of a small collecting pistol

perches at dusk.

projecting over the wagon. To the
end of the lever are fastened the rope
swings, four Of them, with loops on
the lower end to hook over the bottom
cross frame of the wagon body.
The short post is seven feet from
the long one and has row OF pins
set In the side OF It to hold the end
of the lever after the body has been
lifted.
The different pins correspond to
the different heights of the wagons
The plan is suggestive of many
changes.

FACTORS FOR ROAD BUILDER
Climate ls lmport:nt Matter to Con.
slder--AIl Road Forms Should
Have Good crcAn.
(Rv w. L. spnlNl

(By w. L.. SPO)ND
The climate is a factor of impor
tance for the road builder to consider.
In the eastern sections. where the soil
is plastic, the rains are most abundant
while in the western sand hills the
climate is semi-arid and quite strong
sol tn winds prevail. These conditions
introduce an important matter for con-
sid ration. Sand roads are best when
wet, and clay roads when dry, but cli-
matte conditions operate adversely
and must be taken into consideration
seriously. The rains make the eastern
roads muddy, while dry weather
makes of the western roads deep shift
ing sand. The suggestion offered by
this natural condition is to add sand
to the eastern clays and clay to the
western sands in order to bring about.

between the soil and the climate, the
balance necessary for the betterment
Of the roads. Additional encourage
ment is afforded by the natural distri-
button of the material, which in most
cases is abundantly provided for all
needs.
In the eastern portion, where rains
are abundant, the question of drain
age is very important, and, more
over, a greater percentage of sand
(G5 to 50 per cent? must be used,
while In the west, in the semi.arid
sandhill section, the reverse proper.
tion is not only permissible but often
necessary. In the east the road must
meet, as It's supreme test, continued
wet weather, while in the west con.
tinued drought furnishes a maximum
strain on the binding power of the
clay. In the east the road is likely to
fail by reason of mud holes and
washes; in the west II must resist
pulverizing and blowing away IS dust
Between these two extremes lie ali
the possible methods of sand-clay
road construction. Upon the judg-
ment of the supervisor, therefore, de-
pends the character of the work to
be done. He should know how to
select the best available clay for the

the best possible results.
All forms of hard roads should
have a good crown. varying from
side to center. The slope Of the
crown should be greatest at the sides
and fattened as It approaches the
center Only a sand road requires
no crown at all Where nothing but
deep sand prevails, the surface should
be concave for the purpose Of con
serving, as far as possible, the mois
ture. Sand alone Is improved by

SERVANTS SHOULD Be
PART OF HOUSEHOLD
Maids Must Be Made to Feel
Personal Interest in the
Family.

In the opinion of a woman who has
visited much among her friends. there
would be less unrest and changing Of
places by house servants if mistresses
aid les often:-"If you are not willing
to do UGH and such, you may leave"
Which means that employees are con-
stantly reminded that they are not an
integral part of the family and may be
separated from it at moments no.
tice
This. obviously. is not the best spirit,
either for the Individual or the work
she does The utterance is a threat
constantly held over the head; club to
be used when all work does not go
easily. And, of course, a feeling of
being at home under these circum-
stances is impossible, and so the maid
becomes so accustomed to the thought
of moving to the next place that she
is likely to do so from suggestion"
Frequent change is good neither for
employer nor maid They cannot settle
into normal daily conditions if they are
imparting and acquiring the ways of
others. No servant ever does as good
work or as much. when she has not a
personal interest In the home as when
she regards the place as one where she
belongs Maids have the home instinct,
in many GASES, to a marked and desir-
able degree, were they allowed to cul-
tivate it, but constant uprooting kills
lit or drives them TO stop work, and
then housekeepers complain of the
dearth OF servants.

Another organization has come TO
the city. The boys attending the First
Methodist Sunday school have formed
a band called "The Boys Brotherhood.
1t will be to them a Club. and more
for it embodies the simpler features of
a college fraternity. The movement
has been carefully planned by the min
listers of the Hammond district and like
the Epworth league will have a district
organization. A brief general consti-
tuition outlines the work and a button
as a badge holds the symbols of til g
brotherhood The object stated Is. ITO
develop in it's members manly traits
of character by physical, social and re-
sligious culture" Associated with the
bows will be the pastor as chief coun-
selor and two chosen friends. These
three will have general oversight of
the band. Up to this time twenty five
BOYS have entered this brotherhood.
The officers elected last night were:
Brother-in-chief Carlton Rembarger;
assistant brother in chief. Lloyd Ebert
scribe Charles Kaufmann; treasurer.
Donald Gavit; Waterman. Hairy De
Frates. The work planned will be just
what boys delight in. The meetings
Will be every two weeks. The year Gull
