QUEER TRIO OF BIRDS.
TRuMPETER, SECRETARY AND
kAMIcHI ALL USEFUL.
Feathered Destroyers Of Snakes,
Scorpions and Other Noxious Cxea-
lures That Infest South AmerA
lea and Southern Africa.

The trumpeter bird Is the ragpcker
Of the woods and swamps OF Guiana,
where he is always at work at his
trade, with his stomach for a pack
and his bill for hook. He performa
a most useful but most extraordinary
service, devouring perfect multitude
of snakes, frogs, scorpions, spiders, liz
ards and the like creatures. But this
terrible bird can be made perfectly
tame
On the Guiana plantations he may be
seen fraternizing with the chickens,
ducks and turkeys, accompanying them
in their walks, defending them from
their enemies, separating quarrelers
with strokes of his bill, sustaining the
young and the feeble and waking the
echoes with his trumpet while he
brings home his flock at night.
The trumpeter is as handsome as he
is useful. Noble and naughty in his
aspect. he raises himself up on his
long, yellow CATERED legs and seems
to say. Il am the trumpeter. the
scourge of the reptiles and the pro.
tector OF the flocks."
In southern Africa there is another
great exterminator of reptiles, the
snake eater, or secretary bird, mag
nificent creature that attacks the
largest serpents, making shield of
his wings and sword of his beak.
The name Of secretary bird is de-
rived from the plumes projecting
backward from its head. which look
like quill pens carried behind ones
ear. ss
In South America, In the very neigh
borhood of the trumpeter's home, there
lives the Kamichi or Kamiki, which
wears sharp horn projecting from
its forehead and a murderous spur
upon each of It's wings. With these
three weapons the serpents that he at
lacks are powerless against him and
are easily put to death.
The secretary bird, the Kamichi and
the trumpeter form valiant and USE
full trio. The trnmpeter has two mer-
its above the others--the ease with
Which he can be domesticated and his
musical talent
The natives have a saying that he
has swallowed a cornet. Whether
promenading or war making. he fills
the air with his trumpet calls, and at
the sound of his voice Of brass the
reptiles take to flight

TO CUT LUMBER
IN ODD LENGTHS
Especial to the Silver state.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. The in
the ". s. department. of agriculture,
cooperating with lumber maunfactur-
ers in the south, to determine the saw
ing that can be effected by using odd
lengths of lumber as well as even, has
begun to bear fruit. That investiga-
ton showed that a material saving
was practicable, and at recent meet
ing Of southern lumber maunfactur-
ers association the fact was brought
out that beginning has been made in
putting the new plan into practice,
and that an increase in the sale of odd
lengthes is anticipated for the near flu
ture.
1t was formerly the custom, and
generally is so still, to sell lumber in
even lengths only. Waste resulted
from cutting off the ends of odd
lengths to make them even. eonsid-
erable percentage of a sawmill3s out
put is defective. that is, boards have
had knots, decayed spots, or split
ends, and the defective parts are cut
out To make an even length Of what
remains. it is often necessary to cut
off foot of good wood with the bad,
and it is wasted. The practice of
marketing odd lengths as well as even
is meant to lessen this waste. The
sale of odd lengths of lumber will fire.
quently lessen waste in woods also;
for example, log may be cut fifteen
feet long which, following the old
custom, would be cut only fourteen
and the extra foot would be left in the
woods.
The introduction of odd lengths
meets with opposition from many
builders who are prejudieed in favor
Of even lengths simply because they
have never used any other kind. New
ertheless, there are many places in
which odd lengths are more economical
than even ones-for instance, where
nine-foot studding is used. Following
former custom, the ends must be cut
from even lengths to make the tim
bers fit. Some manufacturers OF
flooring successfully sell odd and even
lengths, thus lessening waste in the
woods, at the mill and in the construc
tion Of buildings.

FOWLER TO MAKE
START THURSDAY

Although the Silver State was un-
able to get into direct communication
with Robert G.. Fowler, the birdman,
at Colfax today, it was learned from
other sources that he intends resuming
his transcontinental flight Thursday
morning. This program, however, is
contingent upon the arrival of certain
parts for the repair of the rudder of
his wrecked biplane, which are report
ed to have been shipped from Dayton,
Ohio, last Saturday.
The young aviator is having rath-
er strenuous time. Yesterday morn
ing he was awakened by fire which
consumed the hotel at which he was
stopping, as well as half the town of
Colfax. Fowler donned his clothing
and went out and fought the flames
for several hours.

DAIRY EXHIBIT FOR
FOUR-STATE FAIR

One of the new features that will be
added to the Four State Fair and In
ternational Sheep show of 1911, to be
held at Ogden, Sept. 20 to 80, is an
exhibition and auction of registered
dairy cattle. A great many Of these
cattle will be shipped in by eastern
breeders. There will be Jerseys, Hols-
teins, Guernseys, Attorneys and all
other dairy breeds. The Four State
fair will be assisted in this great move
ment to improve the dairy flocks Of
the intermountain country by the state
fair, the state agricultural college and
probably the intermountain fair, held
at Boise, Idaho.
In states where dairy cattle have
been improved their products are one
of the greatest sources of revenue. In
all of the intermountain country there
is only one place where the value Of
registered dairy stock has been demon
strated. This is at Richmond, Utah,
Some years ago the Utah Condensed
Milk comany was organized and, ON
account of the small quantity Of the
milk, and it's low per cent Of butter
fat, the factory was about to be clos
ed. The management brought this mat
ter, which was very serious, to the at
tenJIOn OF the directors OF the COM
pany and advised them to import reg
istered dairy cattle and sell to the
farmers on easy terms. This. the di-
rectors did, with the result that the
factory has been running full time
ever since. The farmers found dairy
ing very profitable and the cows soon
paid for themselves.
The Four State fair attempts to
stimulate ipfereat in these lines with
a view of adding to the revenue of the
farmers of the intermountain states
many millions of dollars annually.
