One Hundred Years Ano.

The curious modes which women
affect now began as far back as 1898,
which is period we should hardly
wish to copy in most respects. A
dance not at all unlike the tango was
In vogue at that time, and had many
opponents, who danced in loose bod
ices opening in a v shape from the
shoulders almost to the waist Skirts
were slit and were often made of
transparent gauze.
We may return to the gowns OF that
period, which were without waists.
having simply girdle to the bust,
with skirts caught up rather short in
front and slightly trained at the back.
In 1900 women wore sandals and
bare feet. Corset belts were only
about two inches wide. Some gowns
were caught up to the knee with large
canoes. Soon fashion overreached it.
self. and then came crinolines, pointed
footgear and unnaturally small waists.
Are we coming to this?

The rough-legged hawk and the fer
ruginous rougbleg, or squirrel hawk,
as it is sometimes called on account
Of its fondness for ground squarrels,
SO destructive in the West, are among
our largest and most beneficial hawks
The former breeds wholly north Of the
United States, migrating south in Sep
TENDER and October and remaining I'M
til the following April The latter
breeds extensively through the great
plains region. The winter range Of
the roughleg is determined more by
the fall of snow than by the intensity
Of cold, the main body advancing and
retreating as the barrier OF snow melts
or accumulates. Meadow mice and
jennings form the staple food Of this
bird. Jennings do not reach our
territory, except in Alaska, but in the
north Of Europe they occasionally
form into vast, migrating, devastating
hordes, which carry destruction to
crops in the country invaded. The
vole, or meadow mouse, is common
in many parts of this country, and east
of the Mississippi river, without doubt
is the most destructive mammal to
agriculture. 1t destroys meadows by
tunneling under them and eating the
roots of grass. This mouse also de-
stroys grain and various kinds Of veg
etables, especially tubers, but proba-
bly, does even more damage by grid
ing young fruit trees.
The -roughleg Is one Of mans most
Important allies against meadow mice,
feeding on little else during its six
months sojourn in the United States.
1t thus renders important service in
checking the ravages of these small
but formidable pests. The roughleg

Ing on the alert during twilight and

forms in keeping their numbers in
check. Rabbits, prairie dogs, and oc-
casionally pouched gophers are eaten.
The marsh hawk is one Of the most
valuable on account OF its abundance,
wide distribution and habits. 1t is
more or less common throughout the
United States, and may be easily rec
ognized by It's white rump, slender
form and long, narrow wings, as 1t
beats untiringly over the meadows,
marshes and prairie lands in search
OF food. II 1t were not that occasion

and poultry, its place in the first class
WOULD be insured. for 1t Is an indefa-
tigable mouser. Rodents, such as
meadow mice, rabbits, arboreal SPUR
rels and ground squirrels, are its ia
vorite quarry. In parts of the West
the last-named animals form it's chief
subsistence. Lizards, snakes, frogs
and birds also are taken.
Abundant proof is at hand to show
that the red-tailed hawk greatly pre-
fers the smaller mammals. reptiles and
batrachians, taking little else when
these can be obtained in sufficient
numbers. II hard pressed by hunger,
however, 1t will eat any form Of life
and will not reject even offal and car
rion; dead crows from about the
roosts, poultry which has been thrown
on the compost heap. and flesh from
the carcasses of goats, sheep, and the
larger domesticated animals are eaten
at such times.
The red-shouldered hawk, or, as it
is sometimes incorrectly called. the
hen hawk is common, and very val
liable to the farmer. 1t is more nearly
omnivorous than most Of cur birds of
prey, and is known to feed on mice

There is risk in mixing salt In dry
mash, as 1t is impossible to distribute
It evenly. 1t is injurious to fowl to
eat too much of it. The only safe way
is to give it in wet mash. The proper
