CONVEYED ONLY PLAIN TRUTH
Advertisement of Boston Physician
Merely Stated Facts Exactly as
They Were.

A Boston physician tells of Doctor
Reed who, in his time, was one of the
prominent medicos of the Hub. His
large practice included many patients
outside the city limits, and these he
visited in his buggy.
One day Doctor Reed bought a new
horse, with which he was much
pleased until he discovered that the
animal had an insurmountable objec-
ton to bridges of all kinds, and could
not be made to cross one.
Inasmuch as at that period it was
necessary to cross certain bridges in
order to reach any one of the sur
rounding towns, the doctor decided to
sell the horse. He did not think it
necessary to mention the animals Pc
culiarity, but was much too honest to
misrepresent him, and, after some
thought, produced the following ad-
vertisement, which he inserted in a
local paper:
For Sale.-A bay horse, warranted
sound and kind. The only reason for
selling is because the owner is obliged
to leave Boston"

Argument on Suffrage.

Two women were having a ladylike
argument on suffrage in New York
street car. "I'm not so old-fashioned
as to insist that our only place is in
the home, but" said the blonde.
'Well?" asked the brunette, with bat
tie in her dark eyes. Couldn't We
save all this trouble and fuss by just
leaving things as they are? Why can't
we go on letting the men represent US?
They do the very best they can, and
everyone l know has a man some
where or other in the family" The
brunette's voice was calm, but firm.
Jack is a Republican and l am a
Democrat. How can he represent me
when he can cast only one voter" she
inquired sternly. For a few minutes
the little blonde sat very silent. Then
she spoke. "Why, I never thought Of
that before. If you have a misrepre-
sentative man in the family, suppose
you do need the vote" Her voice sank
in whisper. But please don't say
said So"

IMMENSE QUANTITY
Of WHEAT TIED UP
There Will Still, However, Be a
Heavy Deficit of the Worlds
Normal Crop.

A grain expert who has been watch.
ing the grain markets and the worlds
grain fields for a number of years,
says
There is at the present time about
two billion bushels Of wheat, the pro-
duction of the countries at war. tied
up. This is about one-half the worlds
total production of wheat, which is
four billion bushels. One writer ar
CUES that, granting that the warning
nations produce a one-half crop in
the coming year, a deficit of one bill
lion bushels will still be shown. The
three countries upon which the filling
of this deficit of one billion bushels
will rest are the United States, Can
ada, and Argentina. The combined
output Of these three countries is only
1,249, OOO,O 600, their exportable surplus
would of course be much less, so 1t
can easily be seen that the question
Is not one to be easily solved and it
behooves all the above countries to
Increase their respective productions
as much as they possibly can, for
when the war is over and trade begins
to re-establish itself and the nations
undergo a process of rehabilitation,
the demand for all breadstuffs will be
enormous.
During the three years following
the declaration of peace the farmers
of all neutral wheat-producing coun-
tries will have ample opportunity to
market their wheat at good prices,
and 1t may safely be assumed that the
demand will be heavy. Canada has
an unusual opportunity in that she
has the natural environment for wheat
production; she is under the protec-
ton Of the British flag, and she will
not be molested upon the water to
any great extent; she can increase
her acreage and greatly enhance her
production. In other words, she can
become far greater wheat-producing
country than she is at the present
time"
If the summing-up as made by this ex-
pert be correct, is there not the very
best reason for the continued effort
that is being made by the Government
of the Dominion of Canada to secure
settlers on the productive vacant
lands Of the country? Not only are
these lands capable of producing high
class wheat in large quantities, but
cattle, pigs, sheep and horses also do
well. The climate is admirably suited.

Of the United States "a species and
subspecies of wrens, occupying more
or less completely the whole country
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. With
the exception of the marsh wrens, they
all appear to prefer some cozy nook
for nesting site, and, as it happens,
the farm buildings afford just the place
desired. This has led several of the
wrens to seek out the habitations of
man, and he is benefited by their de-
struction of noxious insects. No spe-
cies of wren has been accused of harm,
and their presence should be encour-

ally visits the garden or orchard, but
nests in swamps or in groves standing
upon low ground. The thrasher's IA
vorite time for singing is in early
morning, when, perched on the top
of tall bush or low tree, it gives
an exhibition of vocal powers which
would do credit to a hooking bird.
Indeed, in the South, where the latter
bird is abundant, the thrasher is
known as the sandy mocker.
The food of the brown thrasher
consists of both fruit and insects. An
examination of 636 stomachs showed
Sc per cent of vegetable and Ga of
animal food, practically all insects,
and mostly taken in spring before
fruit was ripe. Half the insects were
beetles and the remainder chiefly
grasshoppers, caterpillars, bugs and
spiders. A few predacious beetles
were eaten, but on the whole the work
Of the species as an insect destroyer
may be considered beneficial
Eight per cent of it's food is made
up Of fruits like raspberries or currants
which are or may be cultivated, but
the raspberries at least are as likely
to belong to wild as to cultivated va.
rieties. Grain, made up mostly Of
scattered kernels of oats and corn, is
merely a trif1e, amounting to only 3
per cent. Though some of the corn
may be taken from newly planted
fields, it is amply paid for by the de-
struction of May beetles which are
eaten at the same time. The rest Of
the food consists of wild fruit or
seeds. Taken all in all, the brown
thrasher is a useful bird, and prob
ably does as good work in it's Sc
cluded retreats as it would about the
garden, for the swamps and grooves
are no doubt the breeding grounds
of many insects that migrate thence
to attack the crops Of the farmer.
The catbird like the thrasher, is a
| lover of sWamps and delights to make
! it's home in tang1e Of wild grape
| vines, greenbriers, and shrubs, where
it is safe from attack and can find its
favorite food in abundance. II is
found throughout the United States
west to the Rocky mountains, and ex-
tends also from Washington, Idaho
and Utah northward into the prov
inces Of Canada. 1t winters in the
southern states, Cuba, Mexico and
Central America.
Reports from the Mississippi valley
indicate that the catbird is sometimes
a serious annoyance to fruit growers.
The reason for such reports may pos
sibly be found in the fact that on the
prairies fruit-bearing shrubs, which
afford so large part of this bird s
food, are conspicuously absent. With
the settlement of this region comes an
extensive planting of orchards, vine
yards and small-fruit gardens, which
furnish shelter and nesting sites for

examination of SO stomachs showed
that SO per cent of the contents was
made up of insects or their allies, and
only per cent was vegetable food,
including bits Of grass and similar
matter, evidently taken by accident
with the insects. Half of this food
consisted of grasshoppers and beetles;
the remainder of caterpillars, bugs and
spiders AS the wren is a prolific
breeder, frequently rearing in season
from u to 16 young, family of these
birds must cause considerable reduc-
ton in the number of insects in a
garden. Wrens are industrious for
ayers, searching every tree, shrub and
vine for caterpillars, and examining
every post and rail of the fence and
every Granny in the wall for insects
or spiders.
The house wren is only one Of a

but no corresponding gain in the sup
ply of native fruits upon which they
were accustomed to feed. Under
these circumstances what is more
natural than for the birds to turn to
cultivated fruits for their food? The
remedy is obvious: Cultivated fruits
can be protected by the simple expedi-
ent of planting the wild species which
are preferred by the birds. Some ex-
periments with catbirds in captivity
show that the Russian mulberry is
preferred to any cultivated fruit.
