MAKE YOUR FARMHOUSE COM
PORTABLE

In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside appears an interesting ar
ticle entitled, Comfort on the
Farm" in which the author tells
how water, light and power may be
procured for the ordinary farm
house. The following extract from
the article sets forth a general state
ment OF the needs:
"The farm is conceded to be the
most healthful place in the world to
live. II is time now to take serious
thought as TO our resources and see
IL we can't make our farm homes
the pleasantest and most convenient
spots also.
There is no longer excuse for
homes which are totally lacking III
modern conveniences and labor-sav-
ing devices. The man who to-day
remarks that what was good
enough for my grandfather is good
enough for me" is not considered
conservative; he is set down as a
lazy good-for-nothing.
"The homes which lack comforts
are becoming rarer each day, but
there are many cases where more
might be done to bring the house
equipment up TO the standard OF
town houses-cases where natural
resources close at hand are neglect
ed and the owner fails to perceive
his opportunities for introducing
new cOnyeniences."

AUSTRALIANS HUNT
KANGAROO BY AUTO
Novel Sport a New Diversion
With Fast Cars.

Sydney, Australia.-A new form Of
tralia-hunting kangaroos by motor
car.
The mere chase alone is said to be
productive of many thrills, calling for
a fast car guided by an adept hand.
To pilot a motorcar through the open
country, over fields dotted with rabbit
warrens and bunch grass bunkers at
a speed Of forty or forty-five miles an
hour calls for steady nerves, a cool
head and consummate skill.
AS the shooting is done over the side
Of the car the man at the wheel is
forced to maneuver his craft much
after the. fashion Of man-o'-war in
order to give the rifles a chance. The
hunters shoot from humping, sway
ing seat at a target which moves as
fast If not faster than the car. The
range varies from fifty to 100 yards.
The fact that prolonged drought
had made the kangaroos a pest in the
vicinity Of water places caused the
automobile owners to offer their serv-
ices and their cars toward Kidding the
country of numbers Of the trouble
some animals. Heretofore it had been
found exceeding difficult to bag the
creatures without persistent and ex-
pert stalking. Kangaroos will run for
ty4ive miles an hour with injuries that
would stop a human being in his
tracks. A wounded roo can easily out
distance the fleetest horse.

FILIPINO TREES IN PERIL
Dean Worcester Asks That They Be
Protected From Destruction.


Protected From Destruction.
Washington.-Dean C. Worcester, ex-
secretary of the interior for the Phil
ippine Islands, in reporting to the
American Forestry Association of
Washington ON forest conditions in
the Philippines, says that 100000
acres, or nearly one-half Of the land
area of the islands, are covered by
valuable virgin forests, while second
growth forests hold possession of an
other 20O0O,O00 acres. He says in part:
Tin view of the Indifference which
we ourselves have shown toward the
conservation Of our own forest re-
sources in the immediate past we
should not wonder that the Filipinos,
by which term | designate the Chris
tanned civilized residents of the archi-
pelago, should still be utterly indiffer-
ent to the preservation of their for
ests as permanent source of wealth.
Zone might suppose that the sparse
population of the islands could at the
worst make comparatively little i'm
preston on their vast forests. Unfor
tunately this is not the case. For I'M
told centuries there has prevailed the
custom Of obtaining land for agricul-
ture by telling and burning the for
est trees. Newly cleared lands have
been abandoned as soon as cogon
made its appearance. This pest is
more than capable of holding its own
against all corners. Its wide spreading
and sharply pointed roots not only
make the soil acid, but bore through
any moderately soft obstacles which
they encounter. Furthermore, cogon
burns readily and fiercely during the
dry season, destroying any young trees
which may have established them
selves, with the result that a defor,
ested area which becomes a cogonal
remains a cogonal unless man inter
venes."

Time and again have Morse princes

Traditionally Russia never abandons

this lesson may be repeated some cen
turtles hence on the littOral of the Pa

her present campaign against the Turk

idle. But one may we'll believe out Of
her past record of similar campaigns
that another defeat Will do nothing to
conquer her ambitions to raise the
cross of the Greek church above the

Of the more practical outlet for her
