a Canadian town, he had long ago
placed in the list of old maids. who,
largely if not wholly from flial devo-

lures investigator whose Some Com
mon Birds Useful To The Farmer has

is noisy and obtrusive, the American
species are unobtrusive both in song
and action.
These native sparrows, although so
seldom noticed by the majority of
people, may probably be found in near

seed eaters, they do not by any means
confine themselves to a vegetable diet.
During the summer, and especially in
the breeding season, they eat many in

on the same food. Examination of
stomachs of three species-the song
sparrow, chipping sparrow, and field
sparrow shows that about one-third
Of the food consists of insects, COM

No man can be better save as his

then, is the philosophy of fasting. It
expresses repentance and it mowers

TREATMENT FOR FENCE POST
One of the Best P~reservatives Is Coal
Tar Creosote-To Determine Tenn
p%erature of Creosota.
CBy B. o. LONGYEAR, Colorado Agri-
cultural College.)

CBy B.. o. LONGYEAR, Colorado Agri-
cultural College.)
A small, but satisfactory, tank for
the open-tank method of treating
fence posts can be made from one of
the galvanized steel barrels used for
shipping oil and gasoline. These
barrels are &c inches high by 80 inches
in diameter and by removing n of
the heads with a cold-chisel, or other
wise, a tank "a inches deep remains.
This tank is heavy enough to serve
the purpose of post-treating, and may
be supported upon two iron cross-bars
built into the sides of a brick or stone
work fireplace. Such a tank will
hold about 10 or II posts of ordinary
size at one time. One of the best
p~reservatives is coal tar c~reosote. The
posts should be seasoned and the
creosote should be heated to at least
the temperature of boiling water with
the posts in it. By leaving the posts
in the creosote while it cools down, a
good degree of penetration should be
secured with most of the quick-grow-
ing soft woods like cottonwood, pop
lar, elm, and the split cedar posts
found on the market. The tempera
ture of the creosote may be roughly
determined by hanging a small tin
can of water in the tank, and when
the water boils, the proper tempera-
ture has been reached.
The process of treatment may be
fastened by keeping the creosote in
the tank hot and removing the posts
after about an hours immersion into an
open barrel of cold ~creosote for
another hour, while a new batch of
posts is being heated in the tank.

D'O"hy oCityJ "utLCs

and the smaller most numerous. Be-
sides the insects already mentioned,
many wasps and bugs are taken. AS a
whole, the insect diet of the native
There are several records of potato
bug larvae eaten by chipping sparrows.
Their vegetable food is limited al
most exclusively to hard seeds. This
might seem to indicate that the birds
feed to some extent Upon grain, but
the stomachs examined show only one
kind, oats, and but little of that. The
great bulk of the food is made up of
grass and weed seed, which form al
most the entire diet during winter, and
the amount consumed is immense.
In the agricultural region of the up
per Mississippi valley by roadsides, on
borders of cultivated fields, or in
abandoned fields, wherever they can
obtain a foothold, masses of rank
weeds spring up and often form almost

food and shelter for immense numbers
of birds and enable them to withstand
great cold. A person visiting one of
these weed patches on a sunny morn
ing in January, when the thermometer
is 20 degrees or more below zero, will
be struck with the life and animation
of the busy little inhabitants. Instead
of sitting forlorn and half frozen, they
may be seen fitting from branch to
branch, twittering and fiuttering, and
showing every evidence of enjoyment
and perfect comfort. If one of them
is captured it will be found in excel
lent condition; in fact, a veritable ball
of fat.
The snowbird and tree sparrow are
perhaps the most numerous of all
the winter sparrows. Examination Of
many stomachs shows that in winter
the tree sparrow feeds entirely upon
seeds of weeds. Probably each bird
consumes about on~e-fourth of an ounce
a day.

War Not Necessary.

We only have to think for a moment
in order to see that it is ridiculous to
talk about International war as the
necessary foster-mother of martial
vigor and virtue. So far, it is true,
such war has been the only force that
has ever disciplined a whole commu-
nifty to idealism; but there is no rea-
Q in the nature of things why peace
cannot be made to provide an equal
discipline and produce an equal ideal
ism. Our task is not to preserve war,
but to redeem peace. And it may be
well to make it plain that the first con-
dition Of the redemption of peace is
the abolition of war.-John Haynes
Holmes.
