operate with the movement. This
undoubtedly rendered the task a great
deal easier.
Nevertheless big beginning has
been made in Manila Many of the
best residence districts of the city are
now practically free from mosquitoes.
In many of the other sections, even
where conditions are the most UNI
favorable, there has been a remark
able decrease in the number of mos
quitoes since the beginning OF the
movement to destroy them Taking
into consideration the extremely small
cost Of what has already been done as
compared with the achievement, it is
safe to say that for so little eXpendi-
tura of money the city has never be-
fore obtained so much improvement
in its inhabitableness.
It is to be hoped that the means will
be forthcoming to enable Doctor Banks
to carry on even on a larger scale his
efforts to rid the city of the mosquito
pest in which, if he is as successful
as his work so far gives promise of
being, he will have done more to make
the city a desirable place in which to
live than will be accomplished with
the labor of the famous author of the
Durham plans.

lie knows that a little brains and
iorethought exercised now will take
the place of a lot of work and feed
later on.
The best thing to do is to separate
the ewes and lambs entirely. If pos
sible give the lambs a fresh pasture
on which no sheep have BEEN grazed
for year. This is to avoid The
dreaded stomach worm.
One way that has been found pod
Is TO turn the lambs into a patch of
rape and allow them to Craze II down.
Some like TO let the rape get six or
eight inches high before turning in on
! II, but for my part | think it is too
tough by that time. much prefer
the three or five-inch plant to the
larger and woodier growth
Often after the rape is eaten, the
meadows have started up afresh so
that the lambs can be turned into
them and allowed to eat the fresh
tender heritage that springs up with
the first shower
Sometimes when nothing better is
offered. have turned the lambs into
the uncut hay. They tramp down
some of it. but they more than pay
for what they destroy. Then. after
the hay is cut. there is always lot Of
good feed on the ground that is just
what will do them good.
II may be that the ruinous crop Of
weeds is just starting up. The lambs
will eat these. and with what new
grass starts up will do well. to SAL

WORMS AS TlLLERS OF SOIL
Estimated There Are $4,000 Of Insects
In Each Acre Of Garden-Earth
Brought to Surface.

AS tillers of the soil. earth worms
constitute a great army. II is estima-
ted that there are $4,000 worms in
each acre OF garden soil. and about
half that number in cornfields. Nine
burrows or worm holes are usually
found in two square feet OF garden
soil. II is further computed that in all
cultivated lands in which worms are
able to live no less than ten tons OF
earth are brought to the surface in
each acre by the worms each year.
Worm burrows are frequently found
extending for five or six feet down
below the surface. Since they feed
largely upon vegetable matter and
since various acids, which are called
humic, are generated by the digestion
of such matter. worms must affect the
quality of the soil to that extent. for
the humic acid plays far more i'm
portant part in the disintegration OF
rocks and the production of proper
soil than does carbonic acid, itself
known to be a powerful agent. The
tillage OF worms is thus chemical as
we'll as mechanical in its effect upon
the soil.

IMPORTANCE OF
FARM HORSES
Animals, In Combination With
Modern Machinery, Have 40
Great Extent Replaced
Human Labor.

At present the horse is practically
the entire motive power of the farm.
In combination with improved farm
machinery. the horse has. 10 n great
extent. replaced human labor. And
the modern farm depends as much
upon the efficiency of the horse that
Is kept to perform the labor as it does
rpon the use OF the human labor uron
the farm. In fact. the efficiency of
human labor upon the farm. and in
many instances the proper operation
Of the farm. depends entirely upon
the farm horse We may readily un-
derstand. therefore. that the farm
horse is often the greatest single fac

atoms Il is essential. then. that the
farm horse be so cared for. and the
farm so organized. that a maximum
return on the horses labor CAN be
secured annually.

ally are not accustomed TO LOOK upon
the horses of the farm, or their laOor'
as costing anything The horse mas

sity. and So much n part OF the iarh'

Work of Birds

J. P. Gilbert of the University Of
Illinois. said in recent lecture on
Birds Of the Farm and City" that
the hunters OF the cities who did not
realize the value of birds to farm prod
ucts made possible an annual loss
from farm insects to crops and for
ests of the United States of s700. 000.-
900. Mr.. Gilbert said II is due to the
destruction of quail in Illinois that the
potato bug is becoming such a pest;
that quail on the table is worth a few
cents. but that quail on the farm is
worth many dollars; that every hawk
and owl is worth on an average of $50
to the state; that one flicker" can
eat 5000 ants at single meal; that
the kingfisher is the most powerful de-
fender of the poultry yard In exist
ence.
