THREE wise
USEFUL BIRDS

The idea has too long prevailed that
owls are injurious birds and only de-
serving to be destroyed on sight. They
have been classed as thieves and rob-
bers that pry upon the farmers poul-
try and the young OF many useful
birds. This deep-seated and persistent
belief is wholly unfounded. With the
possible exception of one species of
owl known as the great horned owl.
every other kind earns it's protection
by the services that 1t renders. There
are three kinds which do an incalcul-
able amount of good in destroying ro-
dents and insects that are menace to
agriculture and fruit growing.
OF the short-eared owl it has been
provided that fully rs per cent of its
food is meadow mice, while gophers,
make up most of the remaining 25 per
cent.
A prominent ornithologist says OF
the barn owl: 1T is surprising that
at the present day any one should
think it necessary to write a fresh plea
! for this bird-a bird that has been a
| favorite of our ornithologists for the
last hundred years and whose praises
may be read in a hundred volumes
on our library shelves. He who de-
stroys an owl is an encourager Of
mice. Looked at from an economical
standpoint, it would be difficult to
point out more useful bird than this
owl, and it deserves the fullest protec-
ton; but, as is too often the case,
man. who should be its best friend, is
generally the worst enemy il has to
contend with, and is ruthlessly de-
stroyed by him. partly on account of
its odd appearance and finely colored
plumage, but oftener from the er-
roneous belief that it destroys the
farmers poultry"
The screech owl is still another
highly beneficial bird whose favorite
retreat is the apple orchard, and upon
the enemies Of which he makes by far
the greater part of his living.
All these night-roving birds are
among natures most effective agents
in keeping destructive animals and in.
sects in check. No one knows them
or what they do would ever kill them

MOTOR CAR MAKES
OVERLAP MERsL|vES

E
The motor car has remade the
farmers wife and daughters. Inter
communication with neighbors and
townspeople by means of the auto
mobile has given them new lease
on life. No longer do they spend
all their time in the seclusion of their
homes. In the evening there are
friends to visit, meetings Of women 5
clubs to attend, social affairs in the
public schools and community halls
and, if nothing more interesting pre-
sents itself, there is always q delight
ful and restful ride over eight or ten
miles of country roads.
In former years the horse and car
rage, or horse and wagon, was the
only means Of conveyance for the
farmer and his family. IF the wns
wanted to go to town in the after
noon the horses were generally work
. ing in the fields. At night trip of
six or seven miles each way was i'm
practical because, after the chores
were done, it was too late for start
ing on jaunt of that nature with
such slow-moving vehicles. Now we
find the automobile available during
the day for the women folks, while
the men are at their work, and at
the service Of the whole family IN
the evening.
All Of this means that on the farm
where a motor car is owned the
women of the family are no longer
drudging their life away. They are
mingling with friends in and out d
town and they are In position L
learn how to manage their affairs bet
ter, how to get things done lno
easily, and in less time. In fact, the
automobile is transforming them into
modern women in every sense of the
word. Ni

must be matched, dollar for dollar,
by the state and counties.
Florida now has 17,843 miles Of
roads. OF these 6,7s2 are brick, as
phalt, sand, clay or similar surface.
During the years 1915 and 1916 at
least $500 miles of Florida roads
have been surfaced; and about 1900
miles have been graded and drained.
Realizing the Importance of road
development, the different counties
are beginning to employ highway en-
gineers, a practice which has been
found to be an actual money saver.
Prosperity rolls on wheels, and a
country through which a road is
driven doubles and trebles in value,
The road must precede development,
not follow It.

social and political values Of geed

married. as follows in Everybody S

He estimates that our annual high
way haulage in the United States
amounts to five billion tons, ard thai
/ the average haul is ten miles, II
/ costs on good roads of hard and resil

course, includes the farmers produces
