Farmer.
each Of these nests protrude the head
Of four to six fedglings which look
to be all mouths. All the children
Of the farm have climbed to the pop
ulous nests on the rafters," perhaps
not as did the children Of "Evangel-
inc" to seek that wondrous stone,
which the swallow brings from the
shore of the sea to restore the sight
of its fiedglings," but just to see the
speckled eggs or the big-mouthed
birds.
The swallow Is one of the latest Of
the migratory birds to come In the
spring and one Of the first to depart
in the fall. They spend the winters
in Central and South America. In
summer some OF them go far north,
even TO the Arctic regions
Before the white man settled here
lows plastered their nests in the pro.
tecting inches Of rocky cliffs. This
habit of nesting wild has been aban.
doned except in sparsely settled sec
tons.
Few birds surpass the swallow in
its powers of fight. Its long wings
and small, light body enable 1t to
dart through the air at the rate OF
mile a minute AS 1t pleases 1t can
mount to great heights, or just skim
above the ground or the surface Of
the water, 1t spends much of its
time In the air and there it gathers
most of its food which consists OF
various kinds Of flies. beetles, bees
and wasps,
Sparrows seem to look upon the
swallow as an object of their especial
hatred. They take the swallows
nests for themselves and often de-
stroy them seemingly for no purpose
but In a spirit Of malice or mischief
The habit Of the sparrows IN driv.
ing away birds which are useful
should encourage all who can to help
destroy our chief bird pest. Swallows

Motor.Csr Window Opener,

The cumbrous method OF raising and
lowering the windows OF motor-cars
and other carriages by means OF q
strap will soon be superseded by q
German invention. BY the new de-
vice the inmate of the carriage presses
upwards or downwards handle, and
the window rises or falls according
ly. Moreover the window can be
raised or lowered to any required
height, and will automatically stay
where placed. The ingenious device
has been brought before the notice OF
the motor-car body builders and W
practical use demonstrated by means
OF a working model.

The cow with dainty appetite, the

With dairy manure alone on the
farm, the corn crop can be doubled
within two or three years.
One writer says that the silo VIII

produce on your farm per acre.
For the man whose cows do not eat
their heads off, there ought to be
little money in dairying this summer.

A frkin OF fresh butter which must
have been made generations ago, has

The firkin Is about two feet In

ten inches 1t appears to have been
scooped out Of tree trunk, and on its

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD COWS
Poor Boarders Should Find No Room
on Any Dairy Farm-Plenty OF
Wholesome Food Needed.

None but good cows should be toler-
ated on the dairy farm. 1t does not
pay to have poor boarders. A COW that
is we'll fed and cared for should pro-
duce 5000 pounds OF milk con-
tanning 80 per cent OF butter fat. or
should make $50 pounds OF butter per
year.
The milk should be weighed at least
one day each month, and test made
for butter fat This Is the only accu-
rate way OF making comparisons
and finding out what the herd Is do
ing individually. The COW stable
should be well lighted. veil ventil-
ated and kept clean. Give the cows
plenty of wholesome food. 1t Is the
poorest economy to stint them either
In the matter of food or water. Also
see that the salt Is always accessible
TO the cattle.
There Ia no nicer place to milk cows
than in q well.kept stable. Do 1t
quickly, clearly and thoroughly. Cows
do not like unnecessary noise or de-
lay. Begin milking 1t the same
hour, night and morning. and
milk the cows In the same or.
der Wipe the cows TANKS and
ndder to prevent loose dirt and
hairs falling into the milk. Do not wet
the hands with milk. A practice to DO
recommended is rubbing little vas
cline on the hands. This keeps tho
teats in nice condition and oveTcomes
the objection some have to milking
with dry hands Nothing tends more
readily to drying up the milk dow
than leaving . little milk In the I'd
der.
Remove the milk as soon as possible
from the stable. and Immediately
strain through several thicknesses OF
cheesecloth. Place the cheesecloth
over the bottom OF the strainer and
secure 1t with an easy.ntting hoop.
The cloth must be removed and well
washed after each time OF using.

FRIENDS OF FARMERS
COMMON SWALLOWS ARE GREAT
INSECT DEsTRoYERS.
Many Of Us Are Prone to Consider
This Little Bird In Matter Of Fact
Way, Like Others Of Our
Feathered Benefactors.

In all our vast farming territory
scarcely boy or girl could be found
who is not familiar with the common
barn swallow. So small is this bird
and SO familiar that many of us are
likely to consider it as we do other
of our benefactors, in matter of fact
way, without giving it the apprecia-
ton which its services warrant. Per-
haps, if we all knew that the swallow
is one of the greatest destroyers of
the insects which do so much harm
we would be freer with our apprecia-
ton and more energetic In our pro-
lection.

barns and sheds are the little mud
