by grasshoppers. Beetles are eaten at
all times, except when grasshoppers
are more easily obtained.
So far as its vegetable food is con-
cerned, the bluebird is positively harm
less. The only trace Of any useful
product in the stomachs consisted of
a few blackberry seeds, and even these
probably belonged to wild rather than
cultivated varieties. Following is a
list Of the various seeds which were
found: Blackberry, chokeberry, juni-
per berry. partridge berry. greenbrier,
Virginia creeper, bttersweet. holly,
strawberry bush, false spikenard. wild
sarsaparilla, sumac (several species)
rose haws. sorrel. ragweed. grass and
asparagus. This list shows how little
the bird depends upon the farm or gar
den to supply its needs and how cas-
lily. by encouraging the growth Of
some Of these plants. many Of which
are highly ornamental, the bird may
be induced to make his home on the
premises.
Two species OF bluebirds inhabit the
western states-the mountain bluebird
and the western hluebird. In their food
habits they are even more to be com.
mended than their eastern relatives.
Their insect food is obtainable at all
times Of the year. and the general diet
varies only In the fall. when some
fruit. principally elderberries. Is eat.
en-. though an occasional blackberry
or grape is also relished. Grasshop
pers. when they can be obtained. are
eaten freely during the whole season.
Beetles are eaten and comprise most
ly harmful species.

CELERY FOR SMALL GARDENS
As Rule It 10 Only Moderately Profit
abIe Crop-one Of Most Deli
cious Of Vegetables.
(By L. NJ. BENNINGTONl

(By II. NJ. BENNlNGION.)
Celery Is fairly good market crop,
but there are many other crops that
pay better. In the famous Kalamazoo
district in Michigan, where the crop
is grown exclusively on hundreds OF
acres by experts, it is stated that the
average profit after rental of land,
growing and marketing expenses are
paid does not exceed 500 per acre. Oc.
casionally We hear Of phenomenal
crop. but as a rule celery is only mod
erately profitable.
It is fine crop for every farmer tc
grow because it is one Of the most de.
licious vegetables produced. 1t is not
difficult to grow celery. 1t requires ex.
ceedingly rich land, some commercial
fertilizer and great care in cultivation
and bleaching.
In the Kalamazoo district, where
very fine celery is grown, the soil is
very black, rich, spongy sort of loan
but good celery is grown on sandy land
and on clay loan.
The ground must, however, be put
into thorough cultivation and very

OWN REGISTERED LIVE sTOcIa

The desire to own registered stock
is praiseworthy, but until a man is
well fitted by experience and inclina-
ton to handle registered stock he will
find 1t better to 60 cautiously until he
has gained a practical knowledge of
the business.
There is no mystery regarding the
breeding and management Of pure
bred stock, still they require mate
rally different treatment than is usu-
ally afforded the common scrub stock.
These improved animals do not re-
quire pampering or babying but they
do require good care and enough to
eat and that they cannot obtain when
wintered around straw stacks and
fence corners.
The farmer who has made good
success with grade herd or flock will
not find the transition to pure breds
very difficult. II man knows abso-
lutely nothing about breeding regis
tered stock he will do well to gain
the necessary experience by grading
up his scrub animals before he invests
in pure-bred stock. At least he should
gain the actual experience in some
way before ne makes the plunge.
There are many men who buy pure
bred stock who should never be in
the business and the result is that
their stock is a byword and a de-
rision-a very disgrace to the name
pure-bred. Some men have jumped
proved live stock, but usually we will
find that these men gained a practical
knowledge Of the science of breeding
while handling their grade animals,
that made their success possible.

TRICKS THAT BULLETS PLAY

1t has been truly said that, once you fire bul.
let from modern rifle none can forecast what
it will do or where it will ultimately come to
rest Even when bullet has an uninterrupted
course, says Frank Scudamore In the London
Globe, 1t is capable Of upsetting all known cal
cuations OF its flight and range. Before the bat
tie Of Omdurman a sick officer was taken across
the Nile and placed under an awning at least
$500 yards from the nearest point OF possible
fire This should have insured him an ample
margin Of safety. but none the less stray bullet
