year that 1t is probable that without
them many crops would suffer serious
damage.
The bluebird has not been accused,
as far as known, Of stealing fruit or of
preying upon crops. An examination
of SS5 stomachs showed that GO per
cent of the food consists of insects and
their allies, while the other 32 per
cent is made up of various vegetable
substances, found mostly in stomachs
taken in winter. Beetles constitute 81
per cent of the whole food, grasshop-
pers %, caterpillars 10, and various
other insects 8, while number OF
spiders and myriapods, about six per
cent, comprise the remainder Of the
animal diet. All these are more or
less harmful, except few predacious
beetles, which amount to 9 per cent.
In view of the large consumption of
grasshoppers and caterpillars we may
at least condone this offense, If such 1t
may be called.

BID THE THRUSHES WELCOME
These Birds Do Farmer Little Harm
and Much Good-Hard to Over
estimate Their Value,

That the group Of birds In which
are included robins and bluebirds do
q 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
eleven species OF thrushes, five of
which are commonly known as robins
and bluebirds. The other six include
the Townsend solitaire, the wood, the
veery, the gray-cheek, the olive-back
and the hermit thrushes.
The robins and bluebirds nest close
to houses, and even the shyest OF the
other species are content with the Sc.
clusion of an acre or two of woodland
or swamp. For this eason these are
among the best known and most care
fully protected of native American
birds, and at times their numbers be.
come so great that It Is feared they
will do much harm to crops and fruit.
Recent investigations, however, show
that there is very little ground for this
fear. On the other hand, they destroy

COVER CROPS FOR ORCHARDS
Means Provided for Preventing WIN
ter Soil Erosion, and to Hold
Moisture In Spring.

CBy c. w. RAPP, Department of Horti-
culture, Oklahoma Agricultural Col
lege.)
Any orchardist who neglects COW
err crops is missing a good oppor-
tunity for improving his orchard. In
fact, we might almost say that the
cover crop is an essential. Its use Of
fers q means of preventing winter soil
erosion, adding humus and retarding
fall growth of trees.
Cover crops are especially impor-
tant in hillside orchards. II the soil
IN these orchards is left bare the heavy
fall, winter and spring rains will wash
of the top soil and reduce the land
to a rough infertile condition. Cover
crops will largely prevent this erosion
and will also cause large amounts OF
water to be held in the soil during the
winter and spring.
Oklahoma soils are generally den.
cient in humus and nitrogen. The
summer cultivation which is recon-
mended for orchards in this state pre-
vents the growing Of summer crops.
Cover crops are, however, beneficial
to the orchard and when plowed up
In the spring aid greatly in improving
soil conditions.
Wet falls are especially trying to
orchards. The wet weather causes
the trees to take on new growth
which Is easily winter-killed. Cover
crops will aid greatly in preventing
this growth. They utilize the surplus
moisture and the result Ia that late
growth is largely prevented.
Wheat, barley and rye are especial
iy adapted to Oklahoma conditions.
These crops should be planted as soon
as possible in order to get well es-
tablished before cold weather. This
early planting is especially important
in case of wet weather conditions.

cHIcAeo-MIAMI MOTOR ROAD
Details of Work In Various LOCALITIES
Progress Made In Construction
Is Remarkable.

That the Dixie highway Ia ROAD
that has appealed to the people both
North and Sor.h of the Mason ana
Dixon line Is evidenced by report
from the offices of the Dixie highway
association, located at Chattanooga,
to the effect that fifty counties alone
have spent more than $1,765,2OO on the
Chicago Miami motor thoroughfare IN
the last six months and are preparing
to spend $6,93i 900 during the coming
wear, writes ]. C. Burton in Chicago
Daily News.
As the fifty counties reporting to
the association represent less than a
third of the total counties that are
crossed by the road that links North
and South, 1t would not be unreason-
able to estimate that approximately
s5,3O0000 has been expended on the
Dixie highway to date and that $2o'-
$4,000 will be used to put the thor
oughfare in shape in 1915.
When it is considered that the
Dixie highway was routed only eight
months ago, the progress made IN It's
construction is remarkable. The large
mileage of permanent roads built or
under contract is an indication OF the
wonderful advancement made In such
a short time. The fifty counties re-
ferred to report that nearly onetenth
of the distance either is paved or will
be paved before another year rolls
around. Using only multiple of two
to represent the other 1l2 counties,
it can be seen that good part Of the
road is or will be Of permanent tylG
of construction.
The preparations being made for
even greater progress along this line
are highly gratifying to the officials OF
the Dixie highway association. Sew
eral divisions of the thoroughfare are
planning paved roads for their entire
stretch, the most notable of these be-
ing the links from Chicago to Danville,
Ill.,, from Toledo to Cincinnati, O.;
from Jacksonville to Miami, Fla, and
from Tallahassee to Barlow, Fla.
The reports by states show that In
seven out of the eighteen counties OF
Kentucky there has been expended
$4,000. In Ohio, eight counties out
of twelve and exclusive Of Hamilton
county, of which Cincinnati Is the
county seat, have spent $33S,OOO. Five
counties out of twenty-five In Florida
spent 1901 900 on the Dixie highway

In good roads there Is a consideration

DAIRY
FACTS
RULES FOR FILLING A slL0
Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station
Offers Some Excellent Sugges-
tlons on the Work.

To farmers who are filling silos this
year for the first time, the Iowa agri-
cultural experiment station offers
these suggestions:
The corn should be cut when the
kernels are dented, or when about a
fourth of the husks and lower leaves
are turning brown. It should be aa
near maturity as possible and yet con.
tain enough moisture to insure fer.
mentation.
Either half-inch of three.quarter-
inch cut Is best because that length
insures less waste and a larger pack
of corn in the silo.
Slow filing makes It possible to
pack the corn more thoroughly and
get in a larger tonnage. With rapid
filing the cost is less, but to fill to
capacity the silage should be allowed
to settle and then refill.
Corn should be uniformly packed in
the silo and with good distribution OF
stalks and ears. If the sides are kept
about two feet higher than the cen.
ter, the silage wedges against the
sides, keeps in the heat of fermenta-
ton and kills molds.
Water needs to be added when fill.
ing II the corn in the silo Is not moist
Water must always be added when the
corn is very ripe. when the corn ia
severely frozen before 1t is properly
mat Lred, or when filling late in the
fall with shocked corn.
Keep the sides of the silo alright
by filling cracks with soft clay, If the
silo is wooden. or with cement II Of
masonry.

viii Be Found Good.

For a disinfectant In cases Of con-
tagious abortion In cows. any Of the
standard coal tar disinfectants are
good. Crude carbolic and bichloride

Contagious abortion of cows Is
serious trouble and must be handled
with extreme care II It Is to be sup
pressed. The proper disinfection of the
COW stables and the entire premises
that may become infected is very
important. Under ordinary farm con-
ditions the infected animals should be
separated from the rest of the herd
and kept where there Is no chance for
the infection to spread. II 1t is found
that they cannot be cured they should
be disposed OF.

wrap them tightly around it; 1t is bet.
ter for the tree to have an air space

II the trouble is mainly due to rabbits,

be better than the mounding method,
the latter being more efficient In the

sleep many long hours in the fresh

stimulated, it will not want to settle

after a romp, will it want to go to
sleep alone and in the dark. Rest.

are the things needed to establish
