melted by the heat. II the snow is

Milwaukee.-The exercises held in

The first glimpse of Commodore
Perry's famous flagship, the Niagara,
was gained Tuesday morning upon its
arrival in the Milwaukee harbor, es-
corted by the rest of the Perry centen-
NAL feet. Thousands witnessed the
arrival of the historic craft which was
recently raised from the bottom OF
Lake Erie for the purpose of being
shown at the celebrations in various
Great Lake cities and preserved as a
historic relic. In appearance the Nj
agara suggests one of the old time

FARM RAT-CATCHERS
VS.. NATIVE BIRDS
BY A. C. BuRRlLL,
College Of Agriculture.


Farmers! XIII your mice and rats;
but do not depend on cats Use barn
owls SO say some OF our leading
bird experts. and the Wisconsin Fed
erstian OF Womens Clubs emphasizes
this in starting a campaign Of educa'
ton In favor OF the better use Of our
native birds.
You may say the cats kill rats, while
owls kill birds In most cases. quite
the reverse Is true for most cats Kill
birds and few make good mousers,
while owls seldom catch poultry and
constantly prey on mice and rats. Out
Of 90 barn owl stomachs examined by
Dr. A. X Fisher OF the United States
department of agriculture only one
contained poultry, and three. other
birds, but all were splendid mousers.
In the stomachs OF 212 screech owls,
poultry was found in only one, and
other birds In IS. This indicates that
from the standpoint OF harm. the barn
owl is TO be preferred over the screech
owl. for only one out OF eight barn
owls had been guilty OF poultry or
bird diet, while the evidence was
against one screech owl In FIVE.
The barn owl Is not common in
Wisconsin. but is easily distinguished
by his uonkey-face of light creamy
yellow. with no ear tufts. The screech
owl. our smallest species, is very com

When building septic tanks, water
tanks, silos, foundations, and the va

crete may be used, it is very essential
that the materials be mixed and han.

Forms are easily constructed OF any
kind of rough lumber They should
be as nearly water-tight as possible.
for otherwise there may be con
siderable loss OF cement, due 10 its

most simple way is to use metal
