weed, barnyard grass, and SmartWeed,
are eaten from November to April, in
elusive, but during the rest of the
year are replaced by insects.
Briefly stated more than half Of the
meadow lark's food consists of harm
full insects; it's vegetable food is COM
posed either of noxious weeds or
waste grain, and the remainder is
made up of useful beetles or neutral
insects and spiders. A strong point
in the birds favor is that, although
naturally an insect eater, 1t is able
to subsist on vegetable food, and con-
sequently is not forced to migrate in
cold weather farther than is necessary
to find grounds free from snow.
The eastern meadow lark is COM
mon and well-known bird, occurring
from the Atlantic coast to the great
plains, where it gives way to the
closely-related western species, which
extends thence westward to the Pa
cif1c. It winters from our southern
border as far north as the District OF
Columbia, southern Illinois, and oc-
casionally Iowa. The western form
winters somewhat farther north Al
though it Is a bird of the plains, and
finds its most congenial haunts in the
prairies of the West, it is at home
wherever there is level or undulating
land covered with grass or weeds,
with plenty of water at hand.

FOREIGN BODIES AND CATTLE
More Care Should Be Taken to See
That Animals Do Not Eat Malls
and Pieces of Wire.

(By /. E. NEWSOM, Colorado Agricul-
tural College.)
The average person does not seem
to realize how many good cattle die
from foreign bodies such as nails and
pieces of wire that pass from the
second stomach forward in the
heart sac. More cattle, particularly
those which are kept up around the
cities, pick up foreign bodies in their
food and these are nearly always de-
posted in the second stomach. This
stomach lies just back Of the dia-
phragm, whereas the heart lies just In
front and on the opposite side OF this
partition. Consequently, IL one OF these
sharp bodies starts forward, owing to
the movements of the stomach, 1t is
very apt to pierce the heart sac. This
carries infection and the heart sac
fills with pus; finally after some weeks
or even mon his the animal shows
symptoms of disease and dies, even
without the owner knowing the real
cause of the difficulty.
Prevention is not easy, but more
care should be taken to see that the
cattle do not eat out of the managers
or In feed lots where there are many
nails and pieces of wire. 1t Is not at
all uncommon to find twenty-five or
thirty nails in the stomach of COW.

FACTS ABOUT THE MORTGAGE
For One Thing, as TireIess Worker
1t May Be Said to Hold the
Record.

A mortgage makes man rustic
and it keeps him poor. 1t is a strong
incentive to action, and a wholesale
reminder of the feeting months and
years. 1t is fully as symbolical in its
meaning as the hour-glass and scythe
that mean death.
A mortgage represents industry, be-
cause it is never idle, night or day.
It is like bosom friend, because the
greater the adversely the closer it
sticks to fellow. 1t is like a brave
soldier, for it never hesitates at
charges, nor fears to close in on the
enemy. 1t is like the sandbag of the
thug-silent in application, but dead
ly in effect. 1t is like the hand OF
providence-it spreads all over crea-
ton, and its influence is everywhere
visible. 1t is like the grasp of the
devil-fisb-the longer it holds the
greater its strength. 1t will exercise
feeble energies and lend activity to
a sluggish brain, but no matter how
debtors work the mortgage works
harder still A mortgage is good
thing to have in a family provided,
always, it is in somebody else's fam

FOR SUCCESS WITH TURKEYS
Young Poults Should BE Penned uF
for First Week or TWo-Give
Old Ones Free Range.

There is no doubt but grown tur-
keys must have free range to make
any success with them, but ! believe
that the young poults should be penned
up for the first week or so, as the
mother turkey hen always starts oft
too early In the morning. when the
dew gives the young ones a chill and
as a consequence many of the poults
are lost.
So many advocate, there's nothing
like giving the turkeys free range with
their poults." This may be entirely
all right in a dry season, but the morn
ing dew and sudden rain showers are
apt to catch you any time and num-
