tive enough to induce the bird to al
ter its diet. The grain taken in win
ter and spring probably consists of
waste kernels from the stubble. The
stomachs do not indicate that the
bird pulls sprouting grain; but the
wheat eaten in July and August and
the corn eaten in fall are probably
from fields of standing grain. The
total amount of grain consumed dur
ing the year constitutes As per cent
of the food, but it is safe to say that
at least half is waste grain and con-
%sequently of no value. Although the
crow blackbird eats a few cherries
and blackberries in their season, and
in the fall some wild fruit. it apparent
ly does no damage in this way.
Swallows That Have Attached Them

There are seven common species
of swallows in the United States and
four Of these have already abandoned
their primitive nesting habits TO some
extent and attached themselves to the
abodes of man. The swallow is one

culture, entitled Some Common Birds

The presence of swallows should
be encouraged by every device, says
the departments scientist. Barn
swallows may be encouraged by cut

barn, while martins and white-bellied
swallows will be grateful for boxes
placed in a high situation.

GREEN FOOD FOR THE CHICKS
Fineiy-cut Lettuce, Cabbage or Chick
{ Weed Is ReneficiaI-Give
Some Dry Oatmeal.

Do not feed wet or sloppy food to
the little chicks. Finely-cut lettuce,
cabbage or chick weed is very bene
fetal to them. A pan of dry oatmeal
foi them to pick at is also of great
utility until they are about three
weeks old.
Young chicks should be taught from
the first to eat anything that is good
for them, such as wheat screenings,
millet seeds, cracked corn, whole
wheat and baked cornmeal.
Wheat and cracked corn should be
always the predominating food after
the fourth day.

The temperature of the sleeping
commandment of the hrooder should
be at about ninety degrees during
the first three of four days. The tenn.

At the end of four days the heat

Turkeys that are Matched early in

They would be unwilling to take a

"A difficulty with central boards,
which has appeared as a result OF
experience, is that some OF the men
are Interested in one institution and
others in another; and this has led
to trading back and forth in grants
to the different institutions.

then YOU have the same collisions

Another difficulty with central
boards created at one time is that a
break is thus made III the contin
uity OF the government of an insti-

ignored by a new board having no

work for country boys and girls. on
these various subjects he makes a num-
Der of interesting and entirely practical
suggestions Discussing old-tme druid
gerry among farm women as compared
with present-day life on farms. he says
in part:
som" women there are who crave tho
, city life. Let them live it. To others
the country makes the stronger appeal.
They love its breadth, its quiet, its
simplicity, its whclcsomeness, its un-
quesuorah bly, better environment for
children. We in the past many women
have given it up out Of disgust with .ts
grinding lahors, and many still fear

Charles Livingston Bull have told me of
mobilization they once witnessed, when
the crows gathered for hours and the two

horned owl flying low in the trees with
dead crow in his talons Whether this
was the original cause of the battle, or
whether he had grabbed the crow in ono
