The wonderful transformation Of the
Russian people as the direct result Of
he stopping of the sale of alcoholic
liquors in the cars domains has been
watched by the white ribboners of the
United States with intense interest
and deep thankfulness. The following

.ngs. was sent to the czar by the pres
dent of the National Woman's Chris
ian Temperance union:
ITO His Majesty, the Gar Of Russia.
"Sire: 1t is my high privilege on be.

States, to extend to your majesty an
expression of their profound gratitude
.or the far-seeing action Of your ma
lesty in abolishing the liquor traffic in
Russia
This act of your majesty is exert

United States of America and will
prove an incalculable blessing to the

ONLY HOPE OF LIQUOR MEN.

Advertising is now the only hope
of the liquor business" said Mr. James
Schermerhorn, editor of the Detroit
Times, in a public address. 1.-The vets
themselves do not have any expec-
tation of life running beyond ten
years."
The Times threw out liquor ads. he
said, because it did not wish to be a
selling and distributing agency of
breweries and distilleries, or a solici-
tor for them in territory that has out
lawed their business.

ment OF Agriculture.)
There are some forty species Of
sparrows In North America which are
helpful rather than harmful and should
be encouraged rather than discour-
aged; at least. this the opinion of the
United States department of agricul-
ture's Investigator whose Some Com
mon Birds Useful To The Farmer" has
Just been issued as Farmers Bulletin
No. $50. While the English sparrow
u noisy and obtrusive, the American
species are unobtrusive both in song
and action.
These native sparrows. although 70
seldom noticed by the majority Of
people. may probably be found in near.
ly every part Of our country, although
not more than . half dozen forms are
generally known in any one locality.
While American sparrows are noted
seed eaters, they do not by any means
confine themselves to q vegetable diet.
During the summer, and especially In
the breeding season, they eat many in
sects and feed their young largely up
on the same food. Examination of
stomachs of three species-the song
sparrow. chipping sparrow. and field
sparrow shows that about one-third
OF tho food consists Of insects, com.
prising many injurious beetles. as
snout beetles or weevils, and leaf
beetles. Many grasshoppers are eaten.
In case Of the chipping sparrow.
these insects form one-eighth of the
food. Grasshoppers would seem to be
rather large morsels, but the bird
probably confines itself to the smaller
species; indeed, the greatest amount
lover 36 per cent? IL eaten in June.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1915-04-08

when the larger species are still young
and the smaller most numerous. Be-
sides the insects already mentioned,
many wasps and bugs are taken. As
whole. the insect diet of the native
sparrows may be considered beneficial.
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
impenetrable thickets which afford
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.

TREATMENT FOR FENCE POST
Tar Creosote-To Determine Tenn

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 SO inches high by 80 inches
in diameter and by removing one of
the heads with a cold-chisel, or other
wise, 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 brick or stone
work fireplace. Such tank will
hold about 10 or u posts of ordinary
size at one time. One Of the best
preservatives is coal tar creosote. 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, .
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 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
hastened 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 new batch Of
posts is being heated in the tank.

The snowbird and tree sparrow arc
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 one-fourth of an ounce

The writer of the new bulletin has
estimated the amount of weed seed
annually destroyed by these birds in
Iowa. On the basis of one-fourth Of
an ounce Of seed eaten daily by each
bird, and an average of ten birds to
each square mile, remaining in their
winter range 200 days, there would be
q total of 1.750,0OO pounds, or S7S
