(By H. W. HENsHAW.)

(By H. W. HENSHAW0
At the present time many kinds Of
useful birds need direct Intervention
In their behalf as never before. The
encroachments of civilization on tim
bered tracts and the methods OF
modern intensive cultivation by de-
stroying or restricting breeding
grounds of birds, tend to diminish
their ranks. The number of insect
pests, on the other hand. is all the
time increasing by leaps and bounds
through importations from abroad
and by migration from adjoining terri
tories. Every effort, therefore. should

our useful birds by protecting them

NEW LIGHT SHED.

For the first time in the history Of
the temperance controversy we are
able to challenge the statement that
moderate drinking Is a safer and saner
position, and more heroic and influen-
tial ethically than total abstinence.
This convenient theory is now practi-
cally disproved by the discovery that
small doses of alcohol, far short Of in
ducing the signs we are accustomed
to associate with drunkenness, set up
insidious, but no less serious, symp-
toms Of disease. 1t Is now well recog-
niZed that a man may pass out of life
with the reputation Of a sober and
blameless citizen, and even in the
"odor of sanctity," who has shortened
his days and induced the fatal disease
by slow poisoning with alcohol.-Dr.
Alex. Walker, J. p. Edinburgh.

A great deal is said concerning
the "decadence" of the church, and
many statistics are submitted to sup.
port the contention that its influence
is waning. The non-church attend.
ance habit of such large class of
the population is made the subject OF
much lamentation, and on the part
of pessimistic writers who are con-
WINGED we are going to tie bowwows
on toboggan slide.
1t is distinctly encouraging to read
that the increase in church member
ship in the United States keeps
pace with the increase in population
This statement was made a few days
ago by a national organization of
Christian workers, and now comes DR..
H. X. Carroll, the former church sta
tistician in this country, with figures
extremely encouraging.
DR.. Carroll says there was a net
increase of 61S,0O0 in church member
ship in the United States during the
yS"i icAo' liz CicullS llcSc lIlCFelS-
es as follows:
Methodists, 100000; Catholics 212,-
500; Baptists 64,5OO; Presbyterians
$4,000; Lutherans, 36,1O0; Disciples,
21,S00; Episcopalians l6,5OO. In fig
uring the additions to the Catolic
church, DR.. Carroll deducted from the
official church figures children not
yet confirmed, which places the esti-
mate upon the basis as that for the
Protestant churches. The total men,
bership of the various churches is
figured by DR.. Carroll as follows:
Catholic, 1S,O99,5 34; Methodist T.
125,O69; Baptist, 5,922,622; Lutheran
1888, 1922; Presbyterian, 2,O27 ,593;
Disciples, 1919, 36G, Protestant Epis-
copal, 997,4Ol; Congregational, 49,
80. This accounts for about 81 ,000,-
900 OF 37,z9O,O00 members OF Chris
tan churches within the United States
The Jewish community would ado
about two million more, half of them
in New DIRK city. Christian Scientist

Relation of Shape of Ear to Yield of
Corn

Relation of Shape of Ear to Yield of
Corn.
/ The superintendent of the Texas
substation at Temple, after careful
study of the relation of shape of ear
of corn to yield of corn, concludes
that slightly tapering parent ears
give the highest yield. This is in ac-
cord with the results of experiments
at the Ohio Experiment Sstation, in
which extremely tapering ears gave
slightly higher results than cylindric-
al ears. High yields were associated
with comparatively smooth kernels
of slightly more than average depth
and of medium horniness. The yield
increased with an increase in the
total weight of the ear as determined
by slight increase in length, amount
of grain, and rather marked increase
in weight of cob.
In experiments at the Ohio and
Nebraska experiment stations it was
found that the highest yields were
obtained with medium to medium long
ears. Poorly filed butts and tips
were more frequently associated with
high yields than we'll filed, but high
yields were more frequently associ-
ated with well filled butts than with
well filled tips. "The old score card
placed much emphasis on good filling
of butts and tips, but for several
years past Investigators have been
getting away from this idea. I. has
been found that these characters, when
highly developed, are usually so de-
veloped at the expense of more valu-
able characters, such as yield, consti-
tuition, ETC." There appeared t, be
no relation between yield and Smelling

width or thickness of kernel.--Wash-

Dairying and Soil Fertility.

"The dairyman sells his crops in
the minimum package at the maxi.
mum price. If he can get Csc. q
bushel for his corn he can sell il
through his dairy cows for more than
S1.OO n bushel and keep it on his
farm at the same time"
There are sections in every state
that have ut one time been poor but
are now rich because the farmers of
that section had the intelligence and
forethought to go into the dairy bust
ness, and it is n fact that our richest
farmers and our richest lands are
found in dairy sections. In this age
we hear much about soil conserva-
ton. Farmers are beginning to re-
alize that the best and most economic
al system of conserving soil fertility
is by a system of dairying. The man
that raises wheat and sells it from his
farm at 90c. per bushcl, even though
he returns his straw back to his farm
has sold for every $500 worth of
wheat $l.00 worth of fertility, or the
farmer who selss corn every S7.OC
worth of corn at zoe. per bushel, has
sold $500 in fertility, but dairy farm
ers can sell $4,000 worth of cream
or butter from his farm and only
take away $1.00 in fertility, and if he
buys feed to bring on his farm to feed
those cows, as most dairymen do, he
is adding to his soil fertility by buy
ing it in the form of COW feed These
facts are being realized more and
more by the Virginia farmers. The
proof of this is that so much interest
is now taken in dairy meetings, for
scores of men come to discuss these
