IMPORTANT TO GROWERS OF
CABBAGE,

Did you ever stop to think what it
means or figure out the difference in
planting reliable cabbage seed and
inferior seeda One pound Of good
seed will plant four acres, the aver
age yield is Is tons per acre on 60
tons from one pound Of seed, figuring
the average price Of good Holland on
Danish cabbage $500 per ton on $3.50
from one pound Of good seed. The
difference in price of good Holland or
Danish and inferior mixed cabbage is
two to four dollars per ton calling it
So less per ton, The termination
and tonnage the same as the reliable
seed or $500 for one pound seed, a diff
ference Of $120 in favor of reliable
seed, labor of growing and hauling the
same. i have only few pounds i'm
sold of genuine Imported Holland
Cabbage seed | am offering at $3.50
per pound, the same strain | sold the
past four years. AT $3.50 per pound
on the above basis the cost for seed
to grow ton Of cabbage is only 5
and 90 cents, the difference Of a dol
lar OF two pound for seed don t
mean anything if you only get good

WOULD SAVE BIRDS.
Police to Get After Boys who slaught-
er Song Birds With Air Rifles.

er Song Birds With Air Rifles.
Despite the fact that the law is
very strict on the point, complaints
continue to be made that song birds
are being slaughtered ruthlessly in
The city Some are contending that
a. Audubon society should be formed
here to see that the little feathered
songsters are given better protection.
According to the complaints K IS said
that men, as well as boys, are offend
ers. In the past tie police have ar
rested several tere on the charge Of
killing songbirds, but this evidently
has not served to stop the destruction.
Boys with airguns ana small rifles
and men with. shot guns are the Of
Tenders, it is claimed.
With the boys it is said to be more
or less what they term sport. Z They
ind it easier to shoot song birds
than they would if they were obliged
to hunt about for birds which the law
allows them to shoot.
With the men, however, it appears
to be different, as in number of
cases it is said that the men shoot the
birds for edible purposes. The birds
make their appearance on their tables,
This practice seems to have been go
ing on a long time, but public senti-
ment against it has not been aroused
before the way 1t is now. The police
are doing all in their power to stop
the practice and threaten arrest and
the severest punishment in all cases
where they come across violations.
The great number of birds are said
to be shot by foreigners who are new
arrivals in this country and have not
become thoroughly aware Of the laws
Of the country. Some Of them seem
to imagine that hunting license
gives the right to hunt and kill all
most any kind of bird or animal.

covery OF the north pole was clouded

canoe Of the day, there came the tri-
butte to the inventor Of the Union iron
clad which contributed in so great a
degree to the final outcome of the
war. John Ericsson was not forgot
ten. He cannot be forgotten while
the history Of American achievements
is written. The government has paid
the respect of a nation to his ashes as
well as to his name.
AS long as the people are capable OF
reading the annals of their country and
the recorded deeds OF its greatest men,
the nation will glory in the name OF
John Ericsson.
