The Grow. the Farmers Friend.

If 1 were to say that the. crow is a
helping hand about the farm, many
farmers might think lived In the city,
writes William L. Finley in Success
Magazine" Many might prefer to be
without such help. The crow has a
reputation as black as his coat He has
been charged with causing great injury
to the corn crops, stealing fruit, robbing
nests of poultry, and eating young birds.
To determine the real economic status
of the crow the scientists of the Biologi-
cal Survey examined nearly thousand
stomachs of crows killed In every month
of the year and throughout the country.
The crow was proven guilty of these
charges, but 1t was also shown that most
OF the corn that he had eaten was waste
corn and the part destroyed while grow
ing was only three per cent of the total
food. The destruction of fruit and eggs
was only trivial while on the other hand
the amount of harmful insects and mice
eaten rendered the final verdict in favor
of the crow. 1t was proven beyond doubt
that he was of more real economic value
than harm.

The decadence of New England can
be demonstrated by no one unless he
takes extreme nativist ground and as
sumes that the heavy influx of races
from foreign lands other than the Brit
ish isles must be destructive of the best
elements of the older New Finland civ
ilization while substituting for them
nothing of nigh and ennobllng quality
1t is our judgment that only an unwar-
ranted pessimism can bring one to such
an assumption concerning the solidity of
the work accomplished here in the past
three centuries by the original settlers
and their descendants. Nor could we
hold the general European civilization
in such low esteem as to believe that
the newcomers were without the ca
pacity to absorb what was finest and
noblest in the older civilization of this
region.

The old and familiar question of the
decadence of New England is sure to be
discussed at this season of the year.

theme. If Yankeeland Is worth this at
tention, it Is impossible to conceal a sem
sation of PRIDE.
What people really mean, of course.
by New England's "decadence" Is that
New England has greatly changed in
the past generation. And changed II
has. There are probably very few OF
our grandmothers now alive who never
rode on a railroad train, although many
nice elderly ladies could be found in the
rural districts as late as 1880 who had
never enjoyed the thrilling experience.
We remember one who refused to risk
her life In that fashion not so very long
ago. Bless her! she was of the good
old New England stock whose passing
Is now so much deplored. She lived 81
years and never Travelled 80 miles away
from the place where she was born.
New England has certainly changed, now
that her type Is no more.
But 1t is upon the gradual disappear
ance of the old Yankee families that
some of the critics of New England
place the chief stress. Grandmother had
10 children. Her sons and daughters

when married averaged four or FIVE chill
dren. Her grandsons and granddaugh-
tiers averaged two. Her great -grand-
children promise to have none. There
IL something in this gentle accusation
but 1t simply means that New England
is changing rather than declining. Many
of the sons and daughters of New Eng
land two generations ago went to the
western wilderness and developed II into
the mighty group of commonwealth
that we see on the map today. The
others who stayed at home left the old
hillside farms for the growing New Eng
land towns and cities, where large fam
lilies were not so much needed as In the
rural homes of their ancestors. The
town jewellers became rich in trade and
manufacturing, and there was already a
never-failing stream of foreign immi-
grants to do the crude and heavy work
of industrial development Consequently,
the economic demand for large native
families fell off and Yankee wives be-
came better mothers by not being work.
ed overtime.
Now that we have reached the age OF
luxury, it must be admitted that the
''old stock" needs bracing up; 1t should
marry more and have more children. But
even the disappearance of the old fam
lilies will not destroy New England, for
If the work of the Yankees has been
done and their degenerate descendants

The True Gentleman.

It's he whose every thought and deed
By act of virtue moves,
Whose generous tongue disdains to speak
The thing his heart disproves,
Who never did a SANDER forge
His neighbours fame to wound,
Nor hearken to a false report
BY malice whispered round.
Who vice. In all it's pomp and power
Can treat with just neglect,
And piety, though clothed In rags.
Reigiously respect,
Who to his plighted word and trust
Has ever firmly stood,
And though he promised to his loss
He makes his promise good,
Whose soul in usury disdains
His treasure to employ,
Whom no reward can ever bride
The guiltless to destroy.

ExnsrIment In Sailing the Cow.

The matter of the necessity of salt for
live stock has been discussed at times,
and there are a few ADVOCATES of no
salt. An experiment was carried on at
the Wisconsin station as to the effects
of salt and lack of salt on some cows.
Salt was kept away from some cows
for a long time-a number of months
and a condition of low vitality ensued,
which, when continued at some length,
resulted in a general breakdown. When
salt again was supplied them they re-
covered at once. 1t was observed that
the time of breaking down came
about the time of calving, and the best
COWS showed this tendency most.
so it was geneally believed that 1t was
not only a convenience to satisfy a de-
sire on the part of the cows to supply
them with salt, but that it was con-
sdered a necessity.

Vernet, the celebrated painter OF sci
pieces, eager in the study of nature,
made several long voyages In his
younger days In order to observe the
various scenes which the changeful
elements exhibit. In one Of these ex
cursions undertaken merely for the
love Of the art most violent gale Of
wind arose, when Vernet, without at
tending to the perils with which he
was surrounded. desired one of the
sailors to lash him fast to some Of the
rigging. Soon after this request was
granted the storm increased, attended
with thunder and lightning and with
every circumstance that could add I'D
the horror Of the scene, and consterna-
ton and terror sat on every c0un-
tenance, but in the young painter every
emotion was lost in that of admiration,
which so wholly engrossed his atteE-
