tain life the animal is likely to become

The annual loss Of crops by insect
and mammal pests in the United
States amounts to many millions OF
dollars. Moreover, not only is this
loss diminishing, but on the contrary
it is steadily increasing, partly as a
result Of the encroachments Of new
insect enemies, partly from the in
crease of both insect and rodent pests
for the number Of these naturally
grows with the extension Of tillage--
and partly. perhaps mainly, because
of the destruction OF their natural en-
emies. These, instead Of being per-
mitted to keep pace with the multipli-
cation of the pests upon which they
feed, have been destroyed until their
numbers are entirely inadequate to
preserve the balance. 1t is therefore
Of first importance that the farmer
and stockman should everywhere
seek to protect and encourage the nat
ural foes Of injurious mammals and
insects.

NOT ALTOGETHER HIS FAULT
Brought In by Jury Certainly
Was Not FIattering to the
Accused.

A Wheeling CIV. Va.) lawyer says
that he has heard many queer ver-
diets In his time, but the quaintest OF
these was that brought In not long
ago by jury OF mountaineers in
sparsely settled part OF that state.
This was the first case for the ma
jority Of the jury, and they sat for
hours arguing and disputing over 1t in
the bare little room at the rear OF the
court room. At last they struggled
back to their places, and the foreman,
lean, gaunt fellow, with a superla-
lively solemn expression, voiced the
general opinion:
The jury don't think that he done
it, for we allow he want there, but
We think he would have done 1t el
he'd had the chanst. Harper Mag

STRONG STUMP PULLING DEVICE

on each side and as near the stump as
the roots will allow, and resting on a
piece OF plank. The chain is passed
around the beam and the root. One
man at each jack will raise almost
any stump to the full lift of the screw
which, In most cases, is sufficient; IL
not, place a stud under each end Of
tho beam; let down the jacks and
place blocks under them; give the
stump another lift.
Two men can pull from twenty to
fifty stumps day. and the outfit will
not cost over $15 to $40, while the
jacks are useful for many other pur-
poses, and can frequently be hired
from some party who possesses them.
Or. IL you cannot borrow them, have
a neighbor or two join in the purchase
OF the outfit, which will make II cheap

the little laugh rang out. The doctor
watched her fuss over the tiny white
petals that clung to her eyes and lips

The sooner farmers, ranchmen, hor-
ticulturists, and nurserymen learn
that the great majority of birds Of
prey are their friends and deserve
protection and that four or five spe-
cies only are injurious, the sooner will
depredations by noxious rodents and
insects diminish. In the more thick
ly settled sections of the country, ex-
cept ut rare intervals, the goshawk,
duck hawk, and great horned owl are so
fnfrequent that years may pass without
an individual being seen. Two species
that need to be kept in check are the
sharp-shinned and Cooper hawks,
small and medium sized species which
feed almost entirely on wild birds and
poultry. The illustration will mate
rally assist those interested in iden-
tifying these birds.
The important fact to bear In mind
is that all hawks and owls feed large
ly on noxious rodents and the larger
insects, such as grasshoppers, crick-
cts, and May beetles, and, from their
size and voracious appetites, are i'm
portant factors in reducing the num-
bers of such pests and keeping them
under control.
Ravens, crows, and jays also do ef-
fective work In destroying pests. Oc-
casionally, however, in localities
where they have increased out of pro-
portion to the available food supply,
they become troublesome by killing
small chickens and destroying eggs
and nestlings Of wild birds.
1t is demonstrable that so long as
a useful species is kept within bounds
and is not allowed to increase beyond
its normal food supply, just so long
will 1t fulfill its natural mission and
be of true economic value. If, how
ever, the staple Of food supply tempo
rarily fails, then IN the effort to main.

Beauty and the Doctor

breath OF country air. The garden at
the rear of the old home In which he
was to spend his vacation was a mass
of scented flowers. Roses. zenias

joyous souls rowing in the moonlight.
A refreshing rain had cooled the
air, and because the night was beau

and listened.
In the walled garden next door a
soft swishing sound made regular har-
mony to his ear. He drew nearer the
wall and looked over through a clump
of bushes. His eyes opened wide and
he leaned cautiously away from the
moon rays.
Was she wrath or blood ant

over the rain-soaked grass? Dr.
Emery, so completely startled out OF
his everyday, humdrum city life, could
not definitely answer the question
He watched with fascinated attention
The girls attire was white and
clingy and traily, and as she moved
across the long grass her bare feet
peeped forth. Those little feet found
pool of water left by the recent
rain, and gleeful chuckie fell from
the girls lips.
"Insane!" muttered the young doc
tor. by Jove! What a pity-she il

pity dropped out of his thoughts. the

BABy'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale. Then it would break out
again and It spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
1t kept spreading until 1t was on his
hands and arms. I bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had 1t about six months when a
friend told me about Cuticura. l sent
and got bottle OF Cuticura Resolvent,
q cake Of Cuticura Soap and q box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles OF Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes OF
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
II have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since
to use for cuts and sores and have
never known them to fail to cure what
/ put them on. Cuticura Soap is the
best that I have ever used for toilet
purposes" (Signed) Mrs. F. +. Har-
