BIRDS AND FRUIT INDUSTRY
Feathered Tribe Small as Com pared With Benefit.

A reasonable way of viewing the
 relation of birds to the farmer is to consider them as servants, employed so destroy weeds and insects, for whom sufficient food and needed protection is generously provided. In the long run, no part of the capital invested In the farm or orchard is more certain to pay bIg interest than the small sum collected as toll by the birds that har- bor near the premises. Deductions from the extensive Investigations un- dertaken in response to numerous complaints concerning depreciation by birds in orchards and vineyards on the Pacific coast. show that the food hab- its of the TO species, whose stom- ach contents were under examination, indicate that but four species common in California. can be regarded as of doubtful utility. They are the linnet, California jay, stellar jay and red breasted sapsucker. Therefore, when all the known methods of protecting fruit have been exhausted, or cannot be profitably employed, reasonable reduction of the numbers of these offending birds is permissible; but the more the food habits of birds are studied. the more evident is the fact that with a normal distribution ot species and a fair supply of natural food, the damage to agricultural pro ducts by birds is small as compared with the benefit.

eET PLENTY OF FRESH AIR LwEAK-AMkLED woMAws sHoE
importance of VentiIating Rooms, Es- peciaIIy Sleeping Chambers, Is
 Too Often, Overlooked.

Nothing is more common than fresh air Nature has provided it in abund- ance for all who will take it. There is no one thing so potent to prevent disease, so effective in maintaining a healthy action of the whole body. Bad air spreads disease. Consumption, pneumonia, bronchitis and catarrh are bad-air diseases. Bad air, too, Is a cause of colds.
 Sewage flowing into pure water pol lutes it. So the air we exhale from our lungs pollutes the air in the room. The impure air from the lungs of any number of people in room mixes with the pure air and makes it dan gerous and unfit for breathing. There must be a supply of fresh air con- stantly coming in to take the place of the foul air. which in all cases should be permitted to escape near the top of the room.
 It is a law of nature that air is always in motion, and because this is true one has only to lower the win dows little from the top and to raise them a little from the bottom and the process of ventilation will go on without our thought or care.
 It is impossible to estimate the amount of misery and suffering caused by impure air. If you would escape. see to it that you get at all tine plentiful supply of fresh air.

Dressy and High Footwear Now Be- ing Made in Variety
 of Styles.

It Is an actual hardship to the wom- an whose, ankles are so weak that she cannot wear low shoes or pumps in hot weather. Besides the discom- fort from heat in our climate one is conscious of looking heavily shod
 Many are tempted for dress occas- ions to slip into dainty pumps. but for those women who have a wholesome dread of broken bones what is to be done?
 Fortunately 1t is now possible to get "dressy" shoes high. To wear with lingerie frocks there are good looking shoes in white buckskin or suede, some of them embroidered or beaded on the vamp.
 High bronze shoes or colored boots to match special frocks can also be had.
 For morning or outing use there are well cut high tan shoes or sporting looking white canvas and buckskin with heavy soles. Tennis soles are also to be found on boots that support the ankle.

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Daisies are a nuisance in as pas ture.
 Be careful not to churn the butter into a lump.
 There is no pleasure or money in keeping unprofitable sheep.
 Corn should contain sufficient mois. ture to pack well into the silo.
 Something should be done to have the young pigs get plenty Of exercise.
 Always strain the cream into the churn to remove any particles of curd or dried cream.
 Fall blowing for alfalfa is recom- mended by the best authorities where the seed is to be sown early in the spring.
 A wire stretched across ths barn behind the COWS for lantern is usu- ally in evidence on wellmanurSd farms.
 Dandelions are not a weed when found in the pasture, because their medicinal qualities are very beneficial to live stock.
 Bee-keeping, for those inclined that way. is certainly a well paying busi- ness. as there is less competition in raising bees and producing honey than '.. ntbA~' sid0 line of farming.

Reefer Coat Smart wraa-

There is no smarter wrap for young CT women's wear at seaside. lake or mountain than the reefer coat made from a lightweight woollen checked material. Now that the one-piece dresses are so much worn the short, loosely fitting little reefers are just the thing for warmth. A blonde wear ing a reefer in a pale-blue and white check, trimmed with white pique col lar and cuffs and gilt buttons over her frock of white pique looked charming. and I have in mind a handsome bru- nette in a pretty gray linen frock with reefer of white and gray check ed goods. the trimmings white suede and gilt buttons.

be found. The women of society do not ask if a man has done great things in finance, science, art, inven- tion or what not. The question is: Can he talk to entertain and amuse ?"
 And what are you going to do?" asked the father in a dubious tone.
 Now, daddie, don't you worry one little bit You shall see the man and have chance to judge him before he becomes your son-in-law."
 It was said of Phillip Barton that he was society butterfly. He was born with gold spoon in his mouth. He had time to kill He had never made a dollar for himself, but when he picked up fallen fan and pre- sented it to lady a score of persons held their breath at the grace of it. He was just a rich young man-just a dawdler-just butterfly He was one of those who danced and dangled about Miss Griscomb He was one of the dozen who admired. He talked vapidity and thought she was inter- ested; he f1attered, and thought she was pleased. He started to propose marriage, and she gave him such a look as not only to check him. but to set him to thinking. very seri- ously.
 Way back, among MT. Barton's an- cestors, there had been a hard-headed man-shoemaker. blacksmith, banker or what. From him there had drifted down something worth preserving. Society had insisted on the young man being dawdler and a butterfly. It had never taken him seriously. He admired Miss Griscomb in a society way. For social reasons he felt 1t a sort of duty to fall in love with her and ask for her hand.
 When he was ready to put his ideas into words he got surprise. She was in society, but not of it. It came to him as he looked into her eyes that she would never give her heart to man like him. If anyone of his friends had said to another that he took this matter seriously to heart, there would have been smiles and laughter.
 From that far-back ancestor came the leaven, and MT. Philip Barton saw things and thought of things and did things. It was said that he had gone to Europe.
 One spring day a farmer up in Con- necticut was leaning over his gate and looking up and down the road. It was complaining time, and he was without help. Afar off he saw a man coming with satehsl in hand.

HOW TO MAKE SOIL PROFITS
Mixed and Diversified Farming, and Stock Raising Will Build Perma-
 nent Agriculture.
6y W. M. KELLY.)

CBy W. M. KELLY.)
 To maintain the fertility of the soil, to cultivate it to the best advantage. to raise it's products at the least ex- pense, to secure the best farming implements,' to select the best live stock. to feed them in the most intelli- gent manner and to build up a perma- nent system of agriculture should be the end and aim sought by a system os mixed or diversified farming
 There are but few sections of any w3te that are especially we'll adapted tc the production of any one staple and there can be no solid or perma- gent system of agriculture unless 1t ts pursued in it's various branches: hence diversified farming is essential to success fin most sections of the country. By this we do not mean to gay there is no room for the specialist, but what we do mean to say Is that the specialist must make his cropping system or branch of live stock feed 1g dependent upon diversified farm cg and animal feeding and retr,ning Al the manure to the soil or else buy large amounts of commercial fersiil- zers if he maintains the fertility of she soil. What we need Is a class cf -ien who possess sufficient strength # mind to guide them into paying pack to the soil, by way of manure er fertilizer, portion of what Is bor- eowed by way of crops that are re- -noyed from the soil and taken to mar set.
 A farmer may be a feeder of live stock. a breeder of pure bred stock or specialist in potato growing. fruit growing or dairying and make she rest of his farming subservient to his one chosen branch, thus main taining his soil in a fertile condition without buying large amounts of fer ilizers or manures.
 The great point to be observed in diversified farming Is to make each ranch pursued fit nicely into the .Shole general scheme of management, 90 eliminate all waste and plant the cropping system so that all crops win not be dependent upon care and atten- tion at the same time. A great deei If the success of mixed farming ds- bends upon the manner in which 1: . mixed and as a usual thing the man who attempts to do too many things will make failure of them all. This Is one reason why many agricultural men are advocating special lines of production.
 However, special lines of crop pro duction or stock feeding does not nes- the fertility of the soil. There are many specialties that will afford all of the advantage of specialized farm Ing as well as of diversified farming, although they may possess few of the of either.

The Hindustanl Lannuane.

Hindustani. which is understood and spoken nearly all over India, except in Madras, where the servants sreak English, is the best example known of artifcial-or speech. It is really Urdu. shorn of all grammatical complications. All verbs are regular, and practically all infections of noun and pronoun. though in real Cor ''pukka") Urdu, the irregularities all ways found in ancient languages ex- ist abundantly. Thus the white "sa- hib' has only to acquire a sufficient vocabulary and learn one conjugation for all verbs and one declension for all pronouns, and he is equipped. Work ing facility in speech can be gained in week or two, and the leading An glo-Indian newspaper publishes lit- tie pocket book called How to Speak Hindustani in a Month" Whatever faults may be found with Hindustani, 1t is greatly to be preferred before the jargon called petit negre, which the French have taught the natives to use in Cochin-China.

Gray Linen.

AS the season advances the fashion able woman emerges from exceedingly light colors to just a touch of severity in her garb. A new gown is of gray linen, cut in one piece with an oddly shaped band of linen on the skirt. opening in front to show an inset of heavy lace. Around the band is a mar row hem of linen on the outside. Bands of linen are used for trimmings and little caps go over the sleeves. A collarette of finely-tucked India linen can be worn with the costume or die neased with at pleasure.

Perhaps the air. ships have called our attention to the feathered throng that sail about the sky, or perhaps chanticler has really awakened the world-to the possibili- ties of feathers. At any rate they are everywhere in endless and bewildering variety.
 They have been made up in pieces all ready for the hat, and the way of the amateur milliner is made easy. This is the sort of trimming that is safe for her to undertake. She should buy both the shape and the trimming all ready prepared. Some of the for mer come already lined, which is a great convenience; for placing the trimming properly is not easy by any means.

Smart-Looking Bonnet.

Elderly women who prefer bonnets to hats sometimes find it difficult to find pleasing models. At store I saw recently some very pretty and smart looking bonnets. One was of braided net, black, draped softly over the crown, and coronet trimmed with a bunch of dainty white flowers from which rose a black aigrette. The strings were of good ribbon. Another was of white Yedda braid. covered with cobwebby black net. The left side was trimmed with black silk roses and lilies of the valley Black roses also held the strings at the back

 That Judge Griscomb was wealthy and did not care for society every body knew; that his daughter Mabel vas handsome and accomplished and d social favorite was also fixed fact. It was observed, over and over again, that she was not bit like her father. He regarded the society dawdler as a cumberer on the earth; she had dozen of them fiuttering around her.

 Those shown in the illustration are among the handsomest. made of silk crape in many rich colorings with high luster, and having the brims faced with velvet.

Braiding seems to have lost none of It's popularity and some stunning cos tunes are elaborately trimmed in this manner. The cut today suggests a dressy afternoon costume in pale gray satin messaline, the bodice and tunic covered with self-tone silk rat-tail braid in close design. The front and neck of bodice is cream lace and tucked mousseline, the former edged with a narrow band of black velvet ribbon and tiny black buttons. The tunic opening on left side is trimmed at bottom with a huge fringed cabochon of gray braid. The long trained skirt is finished at bottom with three deep tucks.
