Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The oriole is one of the most at
tractiye of American birds. Both the
Baltimore" and Bullock" varieties
are described in the United States de-
partment of agriculture's Farmers
Bulletin No. $50, entitled Some Com
mon Birds Useful to the Farmer"
Brilliancy of plumage, sweetness of
song, and food habits to which no ex-
ception can be taken are some of the
striking characteristics of the Balti-
more oriole. In summer it is found
throughout the northern half of the
United States east of the Great Plains.
Its nest commands hardly less admira-
ton than the beauty of its plumage or
the excellence of its song. Hanging
from the tip of the outermost bough
Of a stately elm, it is almost inacces-
sible to depredators and so strongly
fastened as to bid defiance to the ele-
ments.
Observation both in the field and
laboratory shows that caterpillars con-
stitute the largest item of the fare of
the oriole. The other insects consist
Of beetles, bugs, ants, wasps, grass
hoppers and some spiders. The
beetles are principally click beetles,
the larvae Of which are among the
most destructive insects known; and
the bugs includ4 plant and bark lice,
both very harmful, but so small and
obscure as to Re passed over unno-
ticed by most birds Ants are eaten
mostly in spring, grasshoppers in July
and August, and wasps and spiders
with considers BILE regularity through
out the season
During the stay of the oriole in the
United States vegetable : matter
amounts to only little more than 16
per cent Of its food, so that the pos
sibility of it's doing much damage to
crops is very limited. The bird is ac-
cused of eating peas to considerable
extent, but remains of such were
found in only two cases. One writer
says that it damages grapes, but none
were found in the stomachs.
The Bullock oriole is practically a

Other Insects.

Cornstalk Borer-Plowing under and
burning stubble.
Cornroot Worm-Crops should be
rotated with oats and other crops.
Army or Cotton Caterpillar-After
cotton has been gathered in winter
the field should be burned over, and
if the worms appear the following
year paris green should be used lib
orally.
Cutworm-If the land is thorough
ly broken prior to a cold spell and al.
lowed to freeze it will serve to de-
stroy many of the eggs and larvae of
the worm in the ground. Land infest-
ed should be planted very thickly and
thinned to stand after the cutworrns
have had their share.
Chinch Bug-This bug spends the
winter months in the thickets and
wild grass areas of the field and comes
out in early spring to do it's devilment.
1t is therefore a good plan to burn
over all wild grass patches where the
bug IL troublesome, and when he
makes his appearance spray with par 3

Bread.

Much good bread is wasted on &C.
count of drying and hardening on the
outside. This needless waste could
be easily prevented by wrapping the
unusued portion of the loaf in a clean
piece of muslin or towel wrung out
of cold water before putting it away
after each meal; or it might be re-
wrapped in the waxed paper that
comes with some kinds of bread.
The so-called stale bread, so much
of which is wasted, is really better
for ones digestion and health than
the freshly baked, dyspepsia-breeding
article, for it is more friable and alb
sorbent and it really absorbs the sa-
Iva and gastric juice which penetrate
ii and act upon every particle of it.
The fresh bread is SO. moist that like
a wet sponge it can take up no more
moisture, and it is acted upon by the
digestive juices on the surface only.

counterpart of the Baltimore oriole,
taking the place of that species west
of the plains and throughout the Pa
cific coast region. II does not essen.
tally differ in its habits Of eating or
in its food from its eastern relative,
but it is less beautiful in plumage.
The examination IF 162 stomachs
shows that 79 per Il of its food con-
sists of insects, with a few spiders. a
lizard. mollusk shell and eggshells.
One of the most interesting articles of
food in the orioles dietary was the
black olive scale. found in 45 stom-
achs, and amounting to per cent Of
the food. In several cases these scales
formed so per cent or more of the
contents. and in one, 30 individual
scales could be counted. They were
evidently a standard article of diet,
and were eaten regularly in every
month of the orioles stay except April.
The same family of insects other than
scales. eaten quite regularly, make up
little more than 8 per cent OF the
food. They we're mostly stinkbugs,
leaf hoppers and tree hoppers. Plant
lice were found in one stomach.
Moths, pupae and caterpillars com
pose the largest item of the orioles
animal food. The average consump-
ton during its summer stay is little
more than Al per cent OF these, per
haps the most interesting were the
pupae and larvae of the cooling moth.
These were found in 90 stomachs,
showing that they are not an unusual
article of diet. No less than IA of the
pupa cases we're found in one stom-
ach. and as they are very fragile many
others may have been present, but
broken beyond recognition.
The vegetable contingent of the orr
ole's food is mostly fruit, especially Ia
JUIe and July, when it takes kindly
to cherries and apricots. and some
times eats more than the fruit grower
considers a fair share However, no
great complaint is made against the
bird, and it is probable that as a rule
it does not do serious harm. With such
good record as an insect eater it can
well be spared a few cherries

MIXING INCUBATOR
EGGS WITH FRESH
Farmer Who INDUCES in Practice
Is Quite Liable to lniure
His Own Market.

A number of poultry raisers have
been in the habit of putting on the
market infertile eggs that have been
tested in incubators from three days
to a week. As soon as the breeder
finds that the eggs will not hatch he
takes them out and sends them to
market along with his fresh spring
eggs. After the eggs have been in the
Incubator for this period they are dis
tinctly stale and rot very quickly II
kept any length Of time. Even when
lust taken from the Incubator these
infertile eggs are not fit for boiling
or poaching, although they may be
used for frying and are good for cake
or certain other baked foods. These
eggs when they reach the market,
however, are classified as low grade
No. 2.
The mixing Of incubator eggs with
fresh spring eggs leads the egg pack
ers, who get their principal cold stor-
age supply in the spring, to cut the
price they pay the farmer. The spring
eggs designed for keeping for winter
consumption must be absolutely good.
Moreover, the egg packers In the
spring do not candle eggs but hold
them three at time in the hand and
clink them to discover any crack and
then Judge their freshness by their
fresh powdery look on the shell The
mixture of infertile incubator eggs
with fresh eggs interferes seriously
with this clinking and forces the pack
err to candle the eggs He then deducts
this added expense from the price he
offers to the producer. Eggs which
have once been subjected to the heat
Of the incubator cannot be stored,
even though frozen
The farmer who sells incubator eggs
to the dealer. therefore, is very liable
to iniure his own market for, fresh
eggs. When dealers find a percentage
of low grade incubator or other eggs
in their fresh spring egg supply they
lower the price for all eggs so that
they viii be certain that they have
covered themselves against losses
from this cause The departments
specialists advise farmers TO use any
infertile eggs they may take from then
incubators for home consumption and
to send only fresh eggs to market.

s6 WAR TAX ON
CANADIAN LANDS
UntruthfuI Reports Circulated by
Interested Parties.

Defaming a Beighbor at the expense
Of the truth does not help those who are
guilty of the practice, and it may be
said that those spreading false re-
ports about Cansdia lands, in the
hope that they = secure customers
for their own, Will certainly fail of
their purpose. False statements so
maliciously circulated will sooner or
later be disproved. And, as in the
case of the lands OF Western Canada,
the fertility of which is now so well
known to people of every state in the
United States, the folly of this work
shows an exceeding short sighted
ness on the part of those guilty of the
practice.
The present war has given some OF
these people the opportunity to exer-
else their art, but in doing it they are
only arousing the curiosity OF those
who read the statements and trihing
investigation will only reveal their UNI
truthfulness.
A very foolish statement has re-
Gently appeared in a number of pa
pers. reading in part as follows:-
1t is believed that as result of the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana
dian Government number of former
Dakota farmers who went to the Brit
ish Northwest will be compelled to re-
turn to the United States. Informa-
ton has been received that the tax
will amount to about $500 for each
farm of 160 acres, which in the case
of many of the former residents OK the
two Dakotas would practically amount
to ccnfscatiop."
To show that the public has doubt
ed, hundreds of inquiries have been
made the Government at Ottawa,
Canada, only to bring out the most en-
phatic denial. A fuli-hedged lie of this
kind has, OF course. only short life.
and VIII tell in the end against those
who forge it and spread 1t, but, as a
Winnipeg paper points out, it is most
complimentary to the agricultural pos
sihilities of Western Canada to find
that rival farming propositions need
audacious nendacity of this descrip-
ton to help them.
What is the truth? The Saskatche-
wan Government has authorized levy
OF $40 per quarter section on uneulti-
waited lands owned by non-residents
The Alberta Government has imposed
a Provincial tax of 10 mills on the as
sessed value of all uncultivated lands.
There are some special applications Of
these taxes, but the main provisions
are as above. Those vacant lands
held by non-residents in Western Can
ada form a grave problem. They are
making for poor communities, poor
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. BY having them
cultivated the owners as well as the
districts in which they are located
will benefit alike. II is for this reason
that the Government has recently
asked the cooperation OF the non-resi.
dents. The high price of grain for
some years to come, and the general
splendid character OF Western Canada
land will make the question well
worth consideration. advertisement
