oftener single pair win be found. If the pro-

The golden eye almost invariably places him

The movement of their wings is SO rapid that

The kinglet smaller than any of our BIRDS save
the ruby throated humming bird alone. manages
to live through all the cold Northern winter and
be all the while as cheerful as a robin in April
The kinglet as far the experience of one per-
son is concerned at least prefers to get his sum-
mer food in the thick bushes, and seemingly has
preference for those which are near clambering
vines The kinglets cast about for likely places
in which to pass the winter. As far as can be
ascertained they simply get into the heart of
thickly twigged bush through which run vine
branches and there all night long they defy both
cold and snow.
The great northern shrike which is due in the
British possessions about October 1, spends his
nights close to the bole of an evergreen tree
There is little clump of evergreens well within
the limits of the city of Chicago where half
dozen of these birds roost nightly from October
to March. Inasmuch as they live on a diet of
English sparrows and spend all the daylight hours
in the laudable vocation of killing the imported
feathered pest the exact location of their roostng
place will not be given for fear some champion
of the sparrow might disturb the rest of these
feathered friends. whom many unkind enough

MONEY AND THE MARE.

The application of the old proverb that Tt takes money to make the mare gon is just as fitting to the Arkansas Sta.e Fair as to anything else. and 1t is one guarantee of the success of the coming state fair.
 This year we are giving more cash in premiums by almost double the sum than has ever been offered be- fore. Every government demonstrator in tho state knows this. and is using the fact to encouraee the farmers and stock raisers to strive for the prem iums.
 The incentive will result in an un. paraIled state fair.
 All the cash prizes for exhibits mean something in this coming state fair. II has been the customs with state fairs to offer some large cash prem iums for certain things the fair knew never could or would be won. and this gives the association the privilege or proving over large premium list, what large portion of the list is what is known as pad or dead. wood
 The Arkansas State Fair Associa. tion premium list is culled of the deal wood All the cash prizes offered can and should be won by Arkansas farmers, because they are given for the things he produces, and his sup. eriority is all there is in question
