Table Etiquette.

Don't scalp the Indian pudding; cut
straight down.
What Is sauce for the goose Is also
sauce for the turkey.
This is no day to pick a quarrel; try
1t on the bones.
Don't try to paint the table cloth red
with the cranberry sauce.
Out of respect to the fallen gobbler
don't try to gobble everything In sight.
Do not ask for helpings until you can
10 longer help yourself.
Don't lean on the table; probably the
turkey is lean enough for everybody.
You may rest assured 1t Is IN per-
fectly good taste to knock the stufting
out OF your appetite.-Baltmore Her

A Great Bird Sanctuary.

A Great Bird Sanctuary.
The Henry Ford Farm is really bird
sanctuary. This farm is located q,
Dearborn, Mich, about ten miles from
Detroit. 1t contains 1000 acres and il
heavily wooded, with natural under.
growth. A stream runs through the
farm and, as there are numerous little
branches, it makes ideal drinking and
bathing places for the birds. The pur.
pose of this farm is to increase the song
aud insec,ivorous birds of Michigan,
and by providing shelter and feed to
keep the migrating birds all winter in
that vicinity.
There have been put up more than SOC
bird-houses. They are of all kinds, so
that all birds, tastes can be satitfied.
Many are on rods, fastened on top OF
poles, which ia very excellent plan, as
squirrels and other animals can not get
to the nests.
About fifteen large feeding stations
aud many small ones are on the farm.
These feeding stations have been visited,
duripg the winter, by nearly 800 birds In
one day. Many bird shelters, OF rails
and corn-stalks are used in winter.
The feed consists of hemp and miilet-
seed, sunfower. seed, buckwheat, wheat,
cracked corn and rolled oats. This feed
is placed on the feed trays in the feeding
stations, in boxes, scattered on the
ground, or thrown under the corn-stslk
shelters. Suet is provided in great
quantities, being distributed in wire
cages. Doughnuts and hot cakes are
tied to the trees.
Thousands of wild-berry plants have
been set out; wild rice has been planted
in the swampy spots for the wild ducks,
waders and shore birds. Buckwheat is
left standing for the quail.
In the winter, drinking water is pro-
vided by a special fount containing an
electric heater. This melts the snow
and keeps the water tepid. Robins,
song -sparrows and lsrks, which usually
migrate, stayed on the farm last winter.
In summer the farm is alive with song
sters, and the winter finds more birds
there than at any other point in the sur
rounding country. The birds are very
tame. This farm is not show place, in
the accepted sense, there being not a
Gagged bird on the farm. 1t is real bird
sanctuary, a blace where the birds have
natural surroundings, yet are protected
and fed when the cold weather comes.
Henry Ford is the automobile man.

Suddenly Milly's ear caught the
sound Of chopping, which seemed to
come from the hollow beyond the Ill

easily through the leafess thicket,
walking briskly over the hill and down
the opposite descent until she distinct

brook and made her way toward the

Why Plow-Because 1t loosens up the
soil, exposes more Of It to be acted upon
by the sun, air and frost. Stubble and
weed seed are buried and so changed to
humus. The water holding capacity OF
the soil is Increased and rainfall can get
into plowed ground easier and faster.
On deep blowing, heavier rainfall can
get in without running of than on shal
low blowing. Do not take wioer fur
row than the plow will cut.

Pointed Points-Thess two points are
worthy Of notice: While the farmer Is
looking forward with regard to the
prices Of his products, the consumer faces
him and is looking backward. The con.
sumner invaribly regards the increase he
pays as added to what the farmer gets.
