uity much variety could be secured

1t was found that food cooked in
this way was not only good, but far
more digestible than when cooked
over the flame; and people with SEN
sitive stomachs soon learned to recog-
nize In the new method a help in over

fearing neither burning or overdone-
ness. This left the mind free for
other duties and lifted much Of the
strain Of homework
Improvement is the order Of the
.20th century and the freless cooker
did not escape the contagion. Some
inventive genius conceived the idea
that heated plates could be added to
the outfit and the mission OF the
cooker widened.
Soap stones were tried but were not
found altogether satisfactory, as they
would retain food odors and were H.
able to occasional explosions. So wits
were still set further to work on the
problem.
Various compositions have come in
to use for the radiators, most Of which
are satisfactory, holding the heat for
long time and proving to have last
ing qualities.

USEFULNESS OF THE SPARROW FAMILY

Order That He May Protect Which Are
Friends and Drive Away Or Destroy the Enemies.
BY III. w. HENSHAW.

as they spend much of the time in
grass and weeds are commonly over
looked. Unobtrusive as they are, they
lay the farmer under a heavy debt
of gratitude by their food habits, since
their. chosen fare consists largely Of
seeds of weeds. Selecting a typical
member of the group the tree spar
row, for instance, one-fourth ounce Of
weed seed Fer day Is a conservative
estimate of the food of an adult.
On this basis, in large agri-
cultural state like Iowa, tree spar
rows annually eat approximately
S75 tons of weed seeds. Only
the farmer. upon whose shoulders falls
the heavy burden Of freeing his land
of noxious weeds, can realize what this
vast consumption of weed seeds means
in the saving and cost of labor. Some
idea of the money value Of this group
of birds to the country may be gained
from the statement that the total value
of the farm products in the United
States two years ago reached the
amazing sum of $S,926, 100000. If we
estimate that the total consumption of
weed seed by the combined members
Of the sparrow family resulted In a
saving Of only 1 per cent of the crops
not a violent assumption-the sum
saved to farmers by these birds during
that year, was $S9,260,000.
The song sparrow, which is found in
the entire United States, except the
extreme southern states. is true har-
binger of spring, and its delightful lit
tie song Is trilled forth from the top

How to Kill and Bleed
Poultry For Market

Grasp the chicken, when killing.
by the bony part Of the skull. Do not
let the fingers touch the neck. Make
a small cut with small sharp pointed
knife on the right side of the roof of
the chickens mouth. just where the
bones Of the skull end. Drain for
dry picking by thrusting the knife
through the groove which runs along
the middle line Of the roof of the
mouth until it touches the skull mid
way between the eyes. Use a knife
which is not more, than inches long,
one-fourth inch wide, with a thin,
fat handle. a sharp point, and a
straight cutting edge"
A very large proportion of the un-
slightly poultry in our markets aside
from the rubbing and tearing Of the
skins, Is caused by an incomplete re-
moval of the blood. This is evidenced
by red dots which frequently occur
where the feathers have been removed,
especially over the thighs and wings.
or by the small veins, which mar the
appearance Of the neck. Generally it
is the neck which shows most plainly
the presence of blood in the fowl, or
that wrong method has been used
in cutting the blood vessels in an at
tempt to empty them The neck is
the first part to discolor. becoming
first red, then blush red or purple and
finally green as aging progresses.

new Chinese odorless cabba ge
introduced into this country from
the Shantung province Of China. has
been grown on experimental plots
near Washington. David Fairchild.
who is in charge of the govern
ment's work in plant introduction. and
DR.. D. N. Shoemaker, a horticultural
expert IN the bureau Of plant industry,
have been doing the work. The odor-
less cabbage is rated as great delicacy
by those who have tasted It. 1t was
discovered in China by the plant ex-
plorers of the department of agricul-
ture. Besides lacking the cabbage
smell, 1t has the additional advantage
OF being q very rapid grower.
The Chinese cabbage is different in.
shape from the domestic varieties. be-
ing long and narrow. It also REQUIRES
a different method Of cultivation The
seeds OF the common cabbage are
planted in the early spring in hot
bed or cold frame. and the young
plants are set out after the danger Of
frost is past. The seeds OF the new
Chinese csbhage. however. are planted
during the first week Of August in the
open ground. and they head up in the
early winter.
The vegetable is adaptable to
practically all sections Of the country
where the domestic cabbage will
grow. and where the soil is rich
enough so that the growth of the
plant may be forced For men who
are engaged in intensive farming, this
cabbage is likely to become popular.
A grower can raise a crop of sninach
and possibly crop Of snap beans
before he plants the cabbage seeds in
August.

spent, the maximum in health comfort
and happiness to the family and added
convenience to the housewife In her
domestic operations. Endeavor has
been made also to provide good lines
and pleasing proportions, which are
essentials to genuine beauty In all
structures and are the result Of skill
full designing rather than of additional
material and labor. The cost OF erect
ing house OF four rooms, need not be
more than $500 or $1,000 on farms
convenient to reasonable markets for
building materials and to which cost Of
actual delivery Is not excessive. Cash
outlay for construction necessarily
varies considerably in different sec
tons. owing to differences In cost Of
materials and labor.
One plan in the series Of houses, is a
simple, four-cornered structure, with
out bay windows. gables and domes,
or any projection save the cornice,
which overhangs and protects the
walls and window openings. The house
Is planned for the smallest dimensions
and the most inexpensive arrangement
consistent with the needs and the con-
venience of a small family. 1t has but
one chimney and but one outside
entrance.
Little details effect the size Of rooms

cost. They are sometimes, and OF
necessity, Influenced more by economy

study they may often be made con-

TO GET RID OF FLIES.

Flies breed in manure piles and out
houses and in other filth they can
find. 1t is hard to get rid OF them
cnce they are in the house, and the
lest way is to destroy their breed
ing places. Sprinkle the manure piles
with kerosene oil, Or better-remove
the piles to the fields where they
belong. If the stables are close to the
house it vii! be almost impossible to
prevent the nies from troubling you.
Slop should never be thrown near the
house or allowed to stand in vessels
but should be removed to- great dis
lance and buried. Screen all the
doors. windows. and sprinkle all
places, including the kitchen sink
where fiies are plentiful with solu-
ton of one tablespoonful Of carbolic
acid to gallon of water. Absolute
cleanliness Is about the only way to
abolish flies.-Mrs. T.. r., Galleher

The material prosperity of state and
nation depends largely on agriculture.
and any agent that serves to increase
the size Of crops and insure their GER
tainty is of direct interest and import
ance to the farmer. Birds constitute
one Of the most valuable OF these
agents. since they depend largely for
their food on insects which are among
the farmers most dreaded foes.
Entomologists have estimated that
insects yearly cause loss of upwards
Of 100000, 900 to the agricultural In
terests Of, the United States. Were 1t
not for our birds the loss would be
much greater, and indeed it is believed
that without the aid Of our feathered
friends successful agriculture would be
impossible knowledge Of the birds
that protect his crops is, therefore. as
important to the farmer as knowl-
edge Of the insect pests that destroy
them Such knowledge is the more
important because the relation of birds
to mans interests is extremely COM
pick. Thus, while it may be said that
most Of our birds are useful. there are
only lie" OI tleiIl tAdl Oil always
and everywhere useful and that never
do harm. Insectivorous birds. for in
stance, destroy, along with vast null
titude Of harmful insects, some para
site and predatory kinds. These
latter a1e among Natures most
effective agents for keeping destruc-
tive insects In check. TO the extent.
then, that birds destroy useful para
site insects, they are harmful. But,
taking the year round, the good they
do by the destruction of insects injur-
ious to mans interests far outweighs
the little harm they do. 1t may be
said. too, that Of the birds usually
classed as noxious, there are very few
that do not possess redeeming traits.
America is greatly favored In the
number and character Of its birds.
which not only include some of tho
gems Of the bird world, as the warb-
lers and humming birds, but on the
whole embrace few destructive species.
Not only do many birds satisfy our
esthet,c sense through their beautiful
plumage and their sweet voices, but
they are marvelously adapted to their
respective fields Of activity.
One of the most useful groups Of
native birds is the sparrow family.

This weevil belongs to family of
insects which feed principally upon
lesum1noLs plants and several species
IN the genus have been introduced
into the United States and Canada.
Two OF these. the clover leaf-wevil,
and the lesser clover leaf-weevil, have
done considerable damage to the
clover crop III the eastern and central
states, and the former has been re-
ported as injuring clover in the ex-
IRENE northwest. They also feed on
alfalfa and other related plants.
Many methods of Kidding the fields
of these pests have been tried-burn-
ing, sweeping and dragging and with
varying results. Many patterns Of the
brush drag are in use, but the one
which seems to be giving the best re-
suits, Is made by laying the butts of
rather short brush, five or six feet
long. in row on plank twelve or
fourteen feet long, then another row
should be laid on the first, consisting
OF longer brush, with the butts
trimmed a little further back, 50 that

rows. one following the other An

directly on the brush drag. This
makes very even weight. at the
same time it is so flexible that the
drag will work its way down into the
small depressions as we'll as over the
elevations of the field.
The brush drag Is effective in
knocking the larvae feeding on the
stubble to the ground where it man
giles many of them and suffocates
others by the dust stirred up II the
drag is built right. there will be parts
of the brush tearing through every

a dense fine dust in which many of
the younger larvae are suffocated and
which the older ones find it very hard
