Recently the daily papers contained
dispatches to the effect that the dairy
men of the state of Illinois are Op-
posed to the passage of q tuberculin
test law because they contend it would
reduce the number of cows in the
state by one-tenth. Granted that 1t
would. wouldn't this loss be prefer
able to a loss once or twice as large
which is bound to come if the disease
is not thoroughly stamped out. and
this entirely aside from any consider
alton of the hundreds of thousands of
people who are consumers of the milk
from these same dairy cows? In this
connection we recall the case OF "a
young farmer in whose herd of dairy
cattle OF some eighty head there were
twenty animals slightly affected by
tuberculosis, as indicated by the tu-
bercuIin test. He temporized and mon
keyed with the matter, as the dairy
men referred to seem inclined to do.
The result was that some two years
later. when he was compelled by law
10 do what he knew was his duty to
do mt first, he lost sixty-five animals
instead or twenty. This was good pol
lev? Not by jugful. and 1t won't be
for any man who owns beef or dairy
animals that are afflicted with tuber-

NATURES PROTEST.

As in the case of many other plant
pests, the damage wrought by the
Hessian fly is likely to be most e
we're i'm localities where little or no at
tention il given to the matter or crop
rotation. Loss by both insect and fun
gous pests seems to be natures way
of protesting against q wrong and
wanton system of handling the soil,
and all too often the tiller of the soil
must sustain a severe loss in the above
manner before he is willing to mend
his ways and adopt a sensible system
Of crop rotation. Cotton after cotton

9EFRiENDING THE BIRDS.

There II no other single agency
which renders as great u service TO the
farmer. the fruitman and gardener in
their fight against insect pests as do
birds Because of this fact tillers OF
the soil might well take in hand meas
ures not only to give birds greater
protection from their enemies. but
where possible to give encouragement
along the line or providing shelter aud
nesting places. The first can be &C
complished by leaving little thicket
or plum thorn or other trees by road
side, ia fence corner or pasture lot.
To encourage the presence Of birds
like the woodpecker. wren. bluebird
and martin. that nest in cavities rather
than in trees. much can be done by
providing artificial nesting places i'm
the shape OF bird houses. boxes. tin
cans. old Etumps and the like. If
these places are provided the birds viii
be attracted to garden and orchard
areas. where their services are most
valuable

PRACTICAL GAME PROTECTION.


OF the common game birds there IL
none that ~ more valuable To the farm
er W. a destroyer of insects than the
quail or bobwhite. All too often. how
ever. il the northern states. where
winter SHOWS are deep and usual
sources of food supply are cut off. the
pretty little fellows die of exposure or
starvation or more likely of both.
most effective method Of protecting
them during the winter season we read
of the other day. and we give il in
brief for the benefit of other readers
who would like to protect the quail on
their premises. but don't know just
how to 20 at it. The farmer referred
to had for several years past made a
practice of putting out feed for the
quail and gradually attracting them to
the vicinity of the feed sheds. One Of
these adjoining the barn was sheltered,
opening to the south. and was connect
ed by a good sized passageway to the
haymow The quail were first attract
ell to this shed and fed regularly ev-
cry morning A. the colder weather
came on they took refuge in the hay
NOW, which became their permanent
roosting place. When the owner went
to the NOW to feed them they would
fly to the nearest rafters. but as soon
as he retreated would fly down and
eat the grain he scattered for them.
I'm previous years he found that
when spring came these birds mated
1n the vicinity or the barn and sought
nesting places in nearby brush and
weed covers. Matched their broods Of
little ones and were thus able to carry
on the war against the insect pests
about the place with increased forces.
