Southwestern Reflections

Most of US didn't get in on
time for the early Irish Potato
market. Some of us who got in
didn't plant the right variety, or
we didn't plant early enough or
we didn't fertilize properly.
Hence these toars.
But an army of farmers did get
in right, and at Lafayette. Ca

Der of carloads have been dis

cash for their potatoes as soon as
they were loaded on the cars.

GEORGE PEABODY.

About forty years ago the best ship In
the British Navy sailed from England on
q strange errand, Upon it was the body
OF an American Citizen. The coffin was
draped with the Stars and Stripes and the
Royal British Ensign. Before sailing. the
body was honored with services at West
Minister Abbey. This was the first time
n the history Of England thai the tomb
OF El1giand's Kings and Queens was
opened to a private citizen of n foreign
country. A fleet from the United States
Navy met the British ship and escorted il
20 the American shores. Such was the
last homecoming of the man who, at the
age OF eleven years. was forced to make
his own living.
Geo. Peabody was born of poor parents
and at the g of II years went to work
IN a grocery store. At the age of 10 he
became a partner in a general mercantile
concern, and by careful saving and hard
WORK ne was subsequently able to start a
banking business in London for handling
American money abroad.
his FACULTY for overcoming obstacles
was remarkable, and his determined eff
Iorls were always successful.
he was one of Americas nobIest basf-
ness men and his philanthropies reached
all over the world. His favorite maxim
was: DO unto others as You would nave

THE VALUE OF AGRICUL-
TURAL DEPARTMENT AT
WASHINGTON

In the current issue of Farm
and Fireside appears the follow
ing paragraph which demon
strates the value of the agricuI-
tural department at Washington:
The Department of Agricul-
ture does some Of it's best work
in protecting US against pests.
Many of them, like the gypsy
moth, the chestnut blight, the
scale insects, the boil weeVil, the
alfalfa weevil, and others, have
slipped in in spite Of vigilance,
and, like the English sparrow,
have found in a new field freedom
from their old enemies and an
opportunity Of doing in some
cases tenfold the damage of
which they were capable in their
native lands. Recently some
cotton growers imported
cotton seed from Egypt which
was found infected with the pink
boil worm, the greatest pest in
the Egyptian fields. The seed
was confscated, as it should have
been. To have introduced the
pink boil worm might have ruined
the cotton industry of America.
is quite possible that in this
one act the Department did more
for the financial benefit of the
country than its activities have
cost US in all the history of the

titled Birds That Work for the
Farmer" in the course of which
he tells about the new federal law
which has been passed for the
protection of birds that are OF
practical help to agriculture.
Following is an extract from his
article:
In truth, the birds do more
work for the farmer, at a lower
wage, than any other part of his
livestock equipment. What it
would mean to have a birdless
country was most pointedly sug-
gested to me by the story that a
West Indian gentleman told me
about one Of the islands of the
Caribbean region. with which he
was familiar. MANY years ago
he said, the mongoose, from the
East Indies, was introduced into
this island by people who believ-
ed it would rid the place of
snakes.
SO the mongOoses or mongeese
according to the plural you pre-
fer, were brought along. But
the results proved that it was a
sad mistake. The mongoose
multiplied and throve; but he
proved to prefer birds eggs, as a
diet, to reptiles. In time he
well-nigh destroyed the island
bird population. The rep
tiles and all manner of insectivo-
"a multiplied at such a rate that
he island, one Of the very rich
sst in natural elements in all the
has become a peculiarly
understandable place of residence;
