FARMERS ARE INVITED
To Bird Protection Exhibit for
the State Fair.

The farmers all over the State are
invited and urged to attend the ex-
hibition on bird protection in the
agricultural building during the
State fair, October $3.50.
This exhibit is the first of the kind
eyer held in this State. 1t is under
the auspices of the National associa-
ton of Audubon societies in CO.
operation with the bird committee
of the Federation of Women's Clubs.
This exhibit will be interesting
and instructive. Scientific experts
have been studying the food habits
of birds for years. Some of the re-
suits of these Investigations will be
shown by picture, chart and publica-
tions. Owing to their feeding hab-
its most birds are of immense value
to farmers. Therefore, birds should
be protected.
A resident hunters license law
affords one of the best means of
bird protection. This is taught by
the experience of other States pos
sessing such law.
One of the greatest enemies of
bird life is the common cat. A
place will be given to the cat in this
exhibit. There will be displays of
models of practical bird houses and
boxes which can be constructed for
few cents.
Valuable literature on the subject
of bird protection will be distribut-
ed free.

HOT SUPPER AT BENSON.
A Successful Entertainment De-
spite Prevailing Hard Times.

Benson, October 13:-Notwith-
standing that it is popular to serve
ice cream, cake, sillabub, cheese
sticks, with salads, salt peanuts and
the like on the side, yet to attract a
crowd to an entertainment there is
nothing that can equal the announce
ment of a hot supper, with the
good old-time barbecue, cooked to a
delightful crisp and seasoned to an
appetizing finish, served with rice
and delicious brown gravy, which is
juice caught from the sizzling pork
er. Quite a number of people came
to the popular home of Mr. and Mrs
7 j Phillips last Friday evening
where hot supper was given for
the benefit of the Cedar Grove Bap-
tist church. The European war and
money stringency, due to the low
price of cotton, were negative guam
titles in the thoughts of those pres
ent, for they were happy and gay,
moving and mingling among the
merry crowd, pleasantly chatting
with friends and dear friends. How
ever, when supper was announced,
no one did omit entering the spaci-
Gus dining-hall.
After depositing fifty cents in the
receptacle in care of the door-keep-
er, which served as an admittance
card to the massive quadrangular
table arranged within, the guests
were ushered in. The amount raised
was eighty-three dollars and a hearty
thank-you" from the committee
was extended toal parties concerned.

incurred by this the association will
assess each member 2 per cent Of the

CAREFUL FEEDING PAYS
Dairymen Are Losing Money by Care
less Feeding

From a careful investigation we find
that our common cows are capable of
producing a much larger yield than is
secured from the average common cow
in the State. During the past decade
we have always had at University
Farm, in the dairy herd, a number Of
common cows; that is, cows with no
dairy heredity. The average yield
from these common COWS, for % year.
ly records, is 5000. pounds of milk.
and 222 pounds Of butter; which last
valued at 81 cents per pound, is equal
in round numbers to $50, for butter
alone. The average receipt per COM
mon COW in the State is $46.4O; which
shows that the average COW is yielding
$14 less per annum than she might
easily yield if given the same care
and feed as are given the cows at Uni
versity Farm.
