POINTS ABOUT THE KINGBIRD
Examination of Stomachs Of Birds
Show Fifty Per Cent. of its Food

(By H. r. FLINT University Farm, st.

The kingbird or bee martin Is so

is unnecessary. The biological sur
vey Of the United States department
of agriculture has examined the
stomachs of 665 kingbirds from TWEEN
ty-nine states with a view to deter
mining to just what extent the bird
feeds on bees
The survey disclosed the fact that
only twenty-five of the stomachs con-
tanned honey bees and the total num-
Der in those stoHNchs was sixty-one
bees Of which fifty-one were drones,
eight workers and two undetermined.
Fifty per cent. Of the kingbird's food
was found to consist Of injurious in
sects and the balance was practically
all made up of insects of neutral or
slightly beneficial character. 1t would
seem that we may as we'll spare the

CAUSES OF MANY FAILURES
Endeavor to Save In Expenses by
cheapenlng Cost Of Houses and
Space Is Enumerated.

The Illinois station gives among
the causes of failure in the poultry
business the following:
Endeavoring to keep too many
fowls where room for one only can
be obtained, that is saving in ex.
penses by cheapening cost of houses
and space.
Buying fowls from other farms and
thus bringing disease and lice into
the flocks.
Overlooking, the fowls being sup
piled with greater abundance under
the supposition, the more feed the
more eggs.
Cold draughts over the fowls al
night, with a view to supplying frest
air, when the temperature is low.

used each set Of double rows should
be six feet wide and the plants set six
inches apart each way. This system
of planting will require about twenty
seven thousand plants per acre. When
the plants are set in double rows and
blanched by boards, each set of double
rows should be four feet wide and the
plants set six inches apart each
way. This method will require about
forty-four thousand plants per acre.
If the plants are set in single rows
and blanched by boards, the rows are
marked off three feet apart and the
plants set four inches apart. This
method requires practically the same
number of plants to set an acre as
the double row system, but requires
about seven thousand square feet Of
boards more per acre than the double
row method of planting.
Early celery or that which is to be
harvested before the cool months OF
fall is generally blanched by means OF

Expected a Bomb.

An amusing incident in connection
with the letter bomb is related by the
Calcutta, India, police. The story goes
that a small brown packet containing
a hard substance was sent through the
post to a European gentleman In Old
Court House street. Suspicious of the
contents the receiver FASTENED to the
police station and handing the packet
to the officer in charge retired to a
respectful distance while he related his
fears. The first suggestion was that It
should be placed in bowl of water
before being opened, but on second
consideration the officer decided to put
on a pair Of gloves and swatho his
features in Turkish towel. This done
he cautiously opened the envelope and
drew out the contents. They consisted
OF a small circular mirror and an ad
vertisement for dog biscuits.
