The Western Robin.

This is the season of the year when
the relation of the fruit grower and
the robin are strained. for the rea-
son that this common bird is fond oil
cherries, Strawberries and other cul-
tivated fruits.
1t is the small fruit grower, or fam
lies with the small strawberry bed
or 4 few cherry trees in the back
yard, that suffers the most from this
bird. 1t shows a preference for wild
fruit where it is common, but in local
tiles where little is grown. the food OF
the robin in June and July is about
S. per cent cultivated fruit. Notwith-
standing this fact the robin is one oil
the most indispensable birds to the
farmer.
As destroyer of cut worms he has
no equal and from early morn to late
in the evening you find him al
work in the garden or on the farm
gathering a harvest of these worms.
The robin finds those worms early
in the morning. before they have
crawled into their holes, and at night
when they first come ont to feed
and digs them out OF the ground all
day long.
They also feed extensively on can
kerworms. angle-worms. tent cater
pillars, curculios. leaf-eating and
wood-boring beetles. Robins rear two
or three broods each year. and the
food OF nesting robins is largely cat
erpillars and grubs, with cutworms
the favorite food at all times.

Gaming of Fruits and Vegetables.

Success in canning depends upon
the exclusion of air and complete
sterilization. If air is to be excluded
the jars and covers must be in perfect
condition and the rubber rings fresh
and of good quality.
Sterilize fruit or vegetable by cook
ing in open kettle until tender, put
into sterilized jars and seal. This is
the method most commonly used.
Fill the sterilized jars with fruit
and cover with water or a thin strip
Ii pound of sugar to each pound
OF fruit. Put covers on loosely and
place the jars in thei oven on cloth
in pan of water. Let the softer
fruits cook from ten 10 twenty min
utes. The hard fruits will take j
longer time. Adjust the rubbers. fill
the jars with boiling water, or strip,
and fasten on the covers.
When canning vegetables add one
teaspoonful OF salt to each quart be-
fore filling the jar with water. Strong
juiced vegetables should be parboiled
FIVE minutes and the water drained
off before they are placed in Jars.
Most vegetables should cook from
twenty TO thirty minutes. a few may
need longer cooking.
Prepare the same as for baking and
place on the shelf on a patent steam
er. or rack or false bottom placed
in a boiler containing three or four
inches of water. Cover the boiler
securely and allow the contents to
steam from one to three hours, ac-
cording TO the hardness of the fruit
or vegetable. Remove jars from boil
er, fill with boiling water and seal.

BEEFSTEAK

We are not a farmer and know
nothing about the needs of the
farmer, but we do know as a mat
ter of current history, that there
is a great shortage of beef cattle
for the markets. We are not able
to analyze the question and will
not be able to point out the error.
However, we think that we can
see and understand itwell enough
to know that there are two rea-
sons for the shortage. The first is
the great influx of population to
this country, the same having in
creased about twenty-five million
in the last fifteen to twenty years.
It is apparent that if the supply
Of cattle is the same now as it
was fifteen or twenty years ago,
that there must necessarily be a

last three months, and in his alb
sence his opponent made inroads

The Madisonian. (Richmond, Ky.) 1913-1914, 1913-11-11

shortage, because the population
has increased thirty-five per cent
during that time.
The second cause of the short
age is from the fact that all or
practically all of the large western
plains have been subdivided into
farms, and the ranch cattle have
practically disappeared from the
market, and instead of the supply
being what is was fifteen years
ago, it has been cut short by very
large per cent. 1t is perfectly APP
parent that the decrease in the
production of cattle and the in
crease in population has really
had the effect to cut the normal
supply about fifty per cent.
AS civilization advances and as
the wilds are subdued and turned
into cultivated fields, the ranch
cattle necessarily disappear and
the effort of the farmer has been
directed more towards the produc-
ton of crops than in the produc-
ton of cattle.
Another suggestion is that the
killing in immense quantities of
beef cattle and storing them away
in refrigerators has withdrawn
large portion of beef.
To one who reflects over the
situation, it is very apparent that
a beefsteak will be rare thing in
a few more years unless the
of the farmer is directed
to the cultivation of more beef
cattle.
Back to the farm is the slogan.

THE NEW YORK CASE

Many valuable lessons can be
drawn from recent occurrences in
the state of New York. We
speak more directly of the Sulzer
case and its results. There was
rejoicing in New York when Sui
ger was elected for the people be-
lieved that he would accomplish
great good in purifying the local
conditions in the city of New
York and in the state at large.
Sulzer and his friends had the
Tammany Tiger to fight. The re-
suit is that Sulzer has lost. 1t is
true that he is not altogether free
from blame and his conduct was
such that cannot meet the appro-
baton of honest and intelligent
people, and his removal from
Office is not so much to be regret
ted, nor do the people at large
have much sympathy for him.
His trial and conviction may be
regarded as a political catastrophe
and as such it has served its pur-
pose to arouse the state of New
York to sense of its own humil-
iation. The upheaval in the city
of New York has resulted in the
election of Mitchell as Mayor of
that city by the overwhelming
majority of about 125,000, thus
completely overthroWing Tam
many Hall. But the trouble is
that the people will settle down
into the old ruts Immediately
after the noise of the recent cam
paign has subsidized, and in a short
time the vicious element will
again be in full control of affairs
in New York and New York City.
Vice is coherent, is always
armed, is always ready to resist
any invasion of its precincts and
will fight to the utmost for its
preservation. This is not true
ef the better thought and better
class of people. They are COM
paratively without leadership, for
few men will dare to assume the
responsibility of a leadership of
disorganized force, when he
knows in advance that he arrays
against him all of the vicious ele-
ment. The old cry Give us
men," is meaningless, becaus e
we have men. What we should
cryis Give us organized men,
of the highest and purest type
who will take the responsibilities
of political warfare, and will give
us pure and good government.
Political Tag Day should be over
and men should determine for
themselves and should determine
it as an organized force, that
none but the purest and best
men are allowed to hold the
offices.
