Branching Celery.

With celery for early use this may
begin as soon as the stalks are a foot
high or even less. The first work is
in getting the stalks in an erect posi-
ton, gathering them together with the
hand and packing a small quantity of
earth around the base to hold them
upright. In a few days a little more
earth may be added, always doing the
work while the plants are dry, being
careful to hold the leaves or stalks to-
gether so that none Of the earth will
go between the stalks; also being
careful not to put the earth above
the growing heart of the plant.

BUTCHER BIRDS DIET
Eastern Variety Consumes Moth
ing But Animal Matter.
Consumption of Grasshoppers Far Out
weighs Harm Done to Other slros
and Beetles-Capable OF
Doing Much Good.
nv II n. d. A

(By +. Z. L. BEAL-)
The southern butcher bird In some
of it's numerous forms, is found over
much of the United States, and IS
especially common on the PACING
coast. All the forms retire southwark
at the approach of winter and IN
many localities are replaced during
the cold season by the northern
butcher bird, which comes down from
the north and winters in the United
States.
The butcher bird resembles a bird
of prey in form of beak and to a GER
tain extent in food habits, but 1t
has no talons such as enable the true
birds of prey to seize their victim
and hold it while tearing it to pieces.
For the investigation of the food OF
the southern butcher bird 124 stom-
achs of the western sub-species were
examined and SO of the eastern. The
western bird showed 2.5 per cent. of
vegetable substances in their stomachs
but the eastern ones contained moth
ing but animal matter. The animal
portion of the food of western butcher
birds consists Of S3 per cent. spiders
and a few snails, 2 per cent. and YER

tebrates 10 per cent. The stomachs
Of the eastern forms show 6S per
cent, spiders 4 per cent, and verte-
brates % per cent.
The difference is undoubtedly due
to climate, the western bird being
able to find insects all the veal round,
while the eastern n gets very few
during the winter.
While the southern butcher bird
eats a few birds and some useful
insects, it's diet is on the whole very
much in it's favor, as the consumption
of grasshoppers far outweighs the
harm to birds and beetles. AS a
feature of the landscape. and as lend
ing animation to rural scenes, the
shrike, or butcher bird, in California
is a pronounced success, and, while
not so numerous in the east, it is just
as attractive and is doing the same
good by it's food habits.

FEEDING slLAGE IN SUMMER
Missouri Expert Says 1t Is Cheaper
Than Blue Grass Pasture-Forma-

Dean Mumford Of the Missouri col.
ment that cows can be maintained
more cheaply on silage than they can
be carried through the summer on
bluegrass pasture where the land
costs about 500 per acre and is suit
able for growing corn.
He says that there is very little
pasture land where a COW and a calf
car be pastured on less than one and
one-half acres, but it is entirely pos
sible to get twelve and one-half to
twenty tons of silage from one acre.
A COW and her calf can be carried

Iono-LIyed Birds,

1t used to be contended that ravens
lived longer than n other species Of
birds, and it was said that their age
frequently exceeded a century. Recent
studies Of the subject indicate that 40
authentic instance Of a raven surpass-
ing seventy years Of age Is of record.
But parrots have been known to attain
an ago of one hundred years. There Is
a record of a golden eagle which died
at Schoenbrun at the age of 118 years.
Another golden eagle was kept In the
Tower Of London for 80 years. A third
died at Vienna aged 104 years. Geese
and swans are tenacious Of life, and
extraordinary accounts exist of the
great age hat they have attained. Buff
fon and other authorities have credited
them with eighty and one hundred
years of life.-Harper's Weekly.
