HARMFUL LITTLE
ENGLISH SPARROW
Expert of United States BioIogi-
cal Survey Urges War
on Small Bird.

The frequent and vigorous condem-
nation of English sparrows finds sup
port in a recent statement of the
government made by Ned Dear
born, an expert in the United States
Biological Survey, who files a bill of
complaint against the sparrow, and
gives reasons for waging war upon it.
It is 40 vigorous and emphatic in de-
tail as to remind one of the swat the
fly" campaign that has been promi-
nent for several years. 1t has been
stated that the sparrow feeds upon
insects which perform useful serv-
ice IN agriculture and that there are
about 80 counts against one in his
favor. 1t is said that he is guilty of
destroying fruit. such as cherries,
grapes pears and peaches, and fur.
Their says:
He gCbbles up buds and flowers of
cultivated shrubs, trees and vines.
He causes havoc in gardens by nib
bling at the peas and lettuce. He is
destructive to wheat and other grains.
Some idea of the extent of his depre.
dations is gained by the statement
hat q flock of fifty of his fellows re-
uire daily the equivalent of quart
If grain. Hence the annual loss

throughout the country amounts to a
large total.
Furthermore, he is a pirate and a
disturber in the bird world. He preys
on some of our most useful and at
tractive birds. among the number be-
ing bluebirds, house wrens, purple
martins, tree swallows, cliff swal-
lows, barn swallows, the wrens, cat
birds and mocking birds.
This is a matter of importance to
farmers as well as to city jewellers,
for the sparrows are getting out
further into the country each year
and are now found where they were
unknown year ago The birds upon
which 1t is said to prey scatter more
or less widely from the locality where

to farmers in many ways. The meth
DDS Of destruction named by Mr..
Dearborn are tearing down nests,
catching the birds in nests shooting
in large flocks and poisoning. A sys-
tematic movement in villages and
small cities is recommended for their
destruction.

WESTERN CANADA'S
PROSPERITY
NOT A BOOM, BUT DUE TO NAT
URAL DEVELOPMENT.

One OF the largest banks in Holland
has been doing a big business in
Western Canada, and Mr.. w. Wester-
man, the President, on a recent visit
into the Provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta, expressed
himself as being much impressed with
present conditions and prospects, and
was convinced that the great pros
perity of the Dominion was not a
boom, but merely the outcome of nat
ural developments.
Not only has money been invested
largely in Western Canada by the
Holland Banks, but by those of Ger
many, France, as we'll as Great Brit
ain. Not only are these countries con-
tributing money, but they are also
contributing people, hard headed, in
dustrious farmers, who are helping to
produce the two hundred million bush
els of wheat and the three hundred
million bushels of the other small
grains that the Provinces of the
West have harvested this season.
During the past fiscal year there
came into Canada from the United
States 1870; from Austria Hungary
21,651; from Belgium 1901; Holland
! 1,077; France 1904; Germany 1864;
Sweden 1894; Norway 1892 and
from all countries the immigration to
Canada in that year was 354,237
From the United States and foreign
countries the figures will be increased
during the present year
Most of these people have gone to
the farms, and it is no far look to the
time when the prophecy will be full
filled of half a billion bushel crop OF
wheat in Western Canada. Advertise

WHERE FARMER DOES NOT SPECIALIZE
LITTLE ATTENTION is PAID TO QUALITY
Result Is That On Vast Number of Farms Where No Milk
Cream or Butter Is Sold Cows Are Mostly Inferior
Poor Foundation for Success.

Unless We are actively engaged in
the dairy business. or raising beef
cattle, we are not apt to pay much
attention to the quality and money
value of our cows on the farm. The
result of this is that on a vast num-
Der OF farms where no milk, cream or
butter is sold, the cows are mostly in
ferior.
OF course, this is no reference to
the men who go in for beef breeds Of
cattle rather than dairy breeds. But
there are a great many men who
do more or less in the dairy line, and
who nevertheless keep inferior stock
says a writer in the Farm Progress.
In most cases think it likely this is
due to the fact that the owners of
such stock are not sufficiently ia
miliar with COWS and COW values to be
influenced to secure better stock.
AS | have owned large number of
COWS, l know very well what a poor
Investment a lot of inferior cattle
are. But, judging from what is seen
on the majority of farms over the
country, COWS are cows" and so
long as some milk and some butter
though 1t may not always be in abun-
dance-are supplied, the owners let it
go at that.
AS a rule, men who have that sort
of Indifference to their cattle, also
have scrub hogs and poultry, and in a
general way all the features about
the farm are of the scrub type | do
not believe any man of this type can
ever be very successful farmer. The
same interests that make man a
successful business man make the
farmer a successful one.
The farmer who OWES poor scrub
cows, not good for either milk or but
termakirg, and worth little on the

fresh meat during the entire time
when it is cold enough to keep
the meat till each family can
get its share. The only drawback to
the plan is that the beef is often on
hand at a time when the hogs are
killed and the meat sailed down, and
there are few families that do not
like fresh pork so we'll but that they
eat lot of 1t, both fresh and salted
before it is made into bacon.
OF course. this fact interferes with
the consumption of much beef on
farms after cold weather sets in; but
no family, no matter how well they
like hog meat, ought to eat it toe
freely.
Personally, like both pork and
bacon better than any but the best
and tenderest of beef; but, Of course
every farmers club ought surely to
have as good beef as can be had any
where.
Several times on my own farm we
have taken a quarter of a 700-pounC
yearling, and it kept hanging in the
smokehouse from the last of Novem
Der till we began to smoke the bacon
and it was as good as we could ge
from the best butcher. Our clut
claimed to divide the animal into
quarters, and we rotated the hind
quarters and forequarters among the
four, that being the number in it.
After the hogs are killed, o
course, almost everybody eats porl
in some form most of the time; but
think it would be we'll to go on will
the beef club as long as the weathe,
keeps cold enough to keep it sounC
and fresh. Having an icehouse on my
efarm, we could keep beef fresh long
or than some of the others.
Probably the best plan of all would

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Pineapple is good for indigestion
the juice containing digestive fluid
similar to pepsin.
If you wish to preserve your teeth
take all medicines containing acids
through glass tube.
Almond oil and lanolin in equal
parts rubbed into the eyebrows will
stimulate their growth.
For a greasy, oily skin, put some
astringent, little alcohol or toilet
vinegar, into the wash water.
Honey is excellent in nearly all
throat and lung affections. For a
sharp tickling throat cough a tea
spoonful taken every few moments
will quickly allay the irritation.
The habit of biting the nails may be
conquered by will power in an older
person, but with children cut the nails
very close and dip the ends Of the
fingers in quinine or little extract
of quassia.

Fashionable Brown.

The return to favor which yellow
has been enjoying of late has been
confirmed for the autumn, and among
the new tints which will be placed
high on the list of fashionable colors
burnt orange appears. 1t is already
being exploited largely in Paris, and
with it also sulphur and amber. In
addition there are chartreuse, the love
ly limpid yellow of the cordial; flame
yellow, whose intensity makes it be-
coming only to certain compilations,
and canary, another vivid hue. Brown
in every graduation is raised to a
pinnacle of modishness, and cigar
amalgamated with black will be seen
instead of the almost inevitable mag
pie combination, which will, however,
be modish also.

be to arrange with a butcher to
slaughter the beef and buy the bulk
of it from the club, and it would not
then be long before the club would
be ready for another one And, really,
it is a good plan, if it can be arranged,
to have the beef club continue in
operation as much of the time as
possible. so that beef may be had
more or less all the time from the
middle of fall till the middle of
spring.
OF course, each member, if he is
like me, would want some fresh pork

Causes of Failure With Alfalfa.

Experiments at the Cornell station
have been conducted to determine the
causes of failure in alfalfa culture
and the practical suggestions derived
from the results were that at least /;
moderately fertile soil is needed for
this crop, that the use of phosphate
as a fertilizer is valuable in this con.
nection, and that incubation is flu.
tile, unless the soil is in condition
to favor the growth of the bacteria.
