PROTECT THRUSHES.

That thrushes--thc group Of birds in
which + included robins and blue
birds--do n great deal OF good and
very little harm to agriculture is the
conclusion reached by investigators
who have carefully studied the food
habits of these birds. Altogether there
are within the limits of the United
States II species of thrushes. & OF
which are commonly known AZ robins
and b~luebirds. Tho other 8 include
the Townsend solitaire. the wood, the
veery, the gray cheek. the olive back
and the hermit thrushes.
The robins and ~bluebirds nest Gloss
to houses, and even the shiest Of the
other species are content with the
seclusion OF an acr or two Of wood
land or swamp. For this reason the
thrushes are among the best known
and most carefully protected OF native
American birds, and at times their
numbers become so great that Il Is
feared they will do much harm to crops
and fruit. The recent Investigations
of the department, however. show that
there is very little ground for this
fear. On the other hand. they destroy
such a vast number Of insects each
year that II IN probable that without
them many crops would suffer serious
damage.
OF all the thrushes. the robin il
probably the best known. II has been
frequently accused OF destroying fruits

THE CONTROL OF INSECT PESTS
AND PLANT DISEASES.

The annual loss to New York farm
ers from insects and fungous diseases
il greater than the amount Of money
appropriated by the Legislature for
carrying on the business Of the State
for a year. Startling a. this state
ment may seem, II Is borne out by
careful experiments and estimates.
The loose smut Of oats destroys 10 per
cent. Of the oat crop each year. the
loss in 1914 from this disease alone
being more than a million dollars. A
large proportion Of this loss in vari-
Gus crops might be prevented by the
practice of known methods of proven.
ton or control: for example. expert
ments have shown that the lost In po-
tatoes from blights and insects aver
ages $4,000. 900 a year, which might
be prevented by an expenditure Of 81
ar acre for spraying.
The insects injurious to plants are
divided into W. classes-chewing in
sects and sucking insects. II the for
mer class are to be combated, the
frui, and foliage must be sprayed with
a poison that will kill the insects when
they eat it: for sucking insects. which
do not eat tho outer tissues OF the
plant, but suck out the ZAP. a SUBJ
stance must he used that will kill
them when IL hits them. such as
whaleoil soap or a nicotine solution.
In the case Of fungous diseases. pre-
vention rather than control Is usually
the method TO be employed. This is
generally accomplished by spraying
the plants. before the disease appears,
with n mixture poisonous to the fun
gus. The spraying must be done at
the proper stage in the development
OF the plant, and under proper weather
conditions. In some cases II IL nee
essary to go further back than the
plant itself, and treat the seed that Is
10 he used. Certain methods Of Guilt
walton and OF soil treatment are also
effective against some fungous dis
eases.
Measures Of prevention and control
of the common insects and diseases
that attack various vegetables and
fruits are contained in bulletin 2s3 OF
the Cornell University agricultural ex-
pertinent station. recently reprinted.
Copies Of the bulletin will be mailed
without charge to residents OF New
York State on application to the Col

 The short coat could hardly be palmer The back is seamless, but the front is cut in four sections and shaped to vague following of the figure. The belt, extending only part way around, is style feature of the season, and an unusually clever touch is given the design by the placing of the coat pockets at the ends of the belt.

WOMAN THE HOME BUILDER
Undoubtedly the Chief Trade in Which Females of the Country
 Are Engaged.

Yes, of course, 1t Is homemaking Everybody knows that, but the figures for it. compiled by the United States Board of Education statisticians, are worth noting. Of the 31,000,000 fe- males over ten years of age in the United States 24,000,000 are engaged in homemaking. Girls may be enter ing more and more into other trades, but in the last analysis they general ly fall back or advance to the rank of homemakers.
 Hence, says the Federal Education al board, the importance of giving spe- cial attention to scientific cooking in the vocational schools. The girlish hope of being able to hire a cook is apt to be disappointed as frequently as the hope of keeping one when she is hired. It is one of the oldest things of life that cooking, the prep aration of the food that sustains life, the art that can waste or economize in the chief item of family expendi- lures, is so largely left to be picked up as best it may be without serious consideration or training. If the Woeful waste resulting from amateur cookery could be computed in dollars and cents it would rival the war bills of Europe. If the indigestion, dyspep- sia and kindred physical disturbances caused by incapable cooks could be tabulated they would dwarf the list of killed. missing and wounded.
