Happiness and contentment in the

suit Of his plans most vitality concerns
her.
In 1910 a western farm paper, at the
suggestion Of the department Of agri-
culture. conducted a competition for
farmhouse plans. About 600 plans of
farmhouses were submitted. not one Of
which was fully satisfactory. The lar
ger number insisted on some particu-
lar pet notion and emphasized single
feature to the neglect Of other impor-
tant ones. The men and women who
familiarize themselves with the work
TO be done and then apply themselves
to the single task OF devising means
are the ones who. With the cooperation
or the farmers and their wives. can
best handle the farmhouse problem.

HELPS TO AGRICULTURE.

Many Animals and Birds Are Good
Frisnds Of the Farmer.
PredaceOus animals and birds have
an important function to perform in
their capacity AS natural enemies tn
crop destroying insects and pests. ac
cording to the biological survey Of
the department Of agriculture. The
annual damage to crops by insect and
mammal pests In the United States
now amounts to many millions of dol
lars. which is the result largely Of the
encroachment of new insect enemies
and rodent pests and the destruction
by man of the natural enemies of
these crop destroying pests.
IT meadow mice were always pres
ent the red tailed hawk would rarely
touch other food. 1t is when their
normal food is scarce that predatory
birds and animals are from necessity
forced to take what they can find and
thus become trespassers on mans
property.
The coyote and great horned owl in
rabbit infested regions and in vine-
yards. orchards, meadows or gardens
overrun by field mice are among the
best friends Of man. but on the other
hand in thickly settled regions COM
paratively free from rabbits and mice
both have to be summarily dealt with,
as does the coyote in sections where
sheep raising is an important indus
try.
The mink is indefatigable in it's
search for meadow mice and other
marsh loving rodents. The weasel,
while individually it has acquired the
poultry habit, is one Of natures most
efficient checks upon the hordes Of
meadow mice and other rodent crop
destroyers. The skunk renders impOr-
tant service by destroying immense
numbers Of mice. white grubs. grass
hoppers, crickets. cutworms. hornets.
wasps and other nOxious forms. The
badger is valuable in destroying
ground squirrels. prairie dogs. gophers
and other burrowing animals. and
farmers should bear in mind that
hawks and owls feed largely on nox-
ious rodents and the larger insects,
such as grasshOppers. crickets and
May beetles. There are two kinds Of
hawks that should be kept in check
the sharp skinned and Coop
er variety, which feed almost entirely
on wild birds and poultry.
