Characters of Birds.

The federal government is investi-
eating birds with view to discover
ing whether they ere harmful or help
full to mankind. OF forty or fifty spe-
cies, exclusive of hawks and owls,
thus far put through this scientific
third degree, only one has been found
harmful-the English sparrow. This
Quarrelsome little creature is an I'M
qualified nuisance All other birds Of
the group mentioned are either innoc-
uous or helpful, and many of them are
worth well-nigh their weight in gold
to the farmer and fruit raiser.
Of hawks and owls there are Is
species found in this country, only six
Of which are Injurious. The rest
either do no harm at all, or more than
make up for occasional depredatlons
by their services in keeping down YER
min.
The moral seems to be that when
in doubt about the character of bird,
give it the benefit of that doubt. The
chances are about fourteen to one that
even the suspected hawk or owl is Il
friend in disguise. and other feathered
creatures, with the single exception of
the sparrow, are just and righteous al
together.

PRAYER FLAGS OF TIBETANs
When They FIutter Pleas Of The De.
Vout Ascend to the
omnipotent.

Encircling the buildings of Lhasa,
Tibet, is the Sacred road, merely to
walk along which absolves the mortal
from all earthly sins, and many pill
grims PROSTATE themselves for its en-
tire length, thus securing everlasting
happiness in their future life, John
Claude White writes in the National
Geographic Magazine.
The most interesting portion of the
Sacred road is where it runs through
some sharp limestone rocks, carved
deeply with figures of Buddha painted
In many colors.
From the rocks prayer flags are sus-
pended on lines running to an island
In the river. These prayer flags are
universal in Tibet, and so long as
they are moving they are recording
prayers for the benefit of those who
put them up.
All devOtees, men and women, walk,
always turning small hand prayer
wheel, filled with minute prayers,
printed on thin paper; and large
prayer wheels, filled in some cases
with tons of paper prayers, are set
revolving by water power. Smaller
ones are turned by the hot air rising
from butter lamps.
Single prayers, printed on thin cloth,
are strung vertically on poles or
stretched across open spaces to flutter
in the wind and thus send millions of
prayers vibrating toward the Omnipo-
tent for the benefit OF someone's soul.
They are most picturesque. An old
lama l once questioned on the subject
told me "that if the Eerson turning the
wheel truly believed that by doing so
he was accommodating merit, it would
certainly count as meritorious ac-
ton"

Decimal system for EnaIand.

According to the British and Colo
NAL Printer and Stationer, there is
now a well-organized movement in
Great Britain to secure the immdiate
adoption in that country of the deci-
NAL system of coinage and weights and
measures.
The handicap in securing new for
eign trade, with nine-tenths of the
world on the decimal basis, is the
prime argument in the propaganda,
and 1t is pointed out that in the even
keener trade competition after the war
this added handicap may prove ruin
Gus.

Original Home Of weIshmen.

Jutland was probably the original
home Of our Kymric ancestors as well
as lat later period) of some So
called Saxon invaders. 1t was peo-
pied in classical times by the Cimbri,
identified by ethnologists with the
Cymry, or modern Welshmen. The
Germans magnanimously declined to
annex Jutland with Schleswig-H olstein.
1t was then considered worthless
waste of moors, sand dunes and
marshes. But the industrious Danes
have transformed what one English
traveller styled "a GodfOrsaken wilder
ness" into the most prosperous pas
toral country of western Europe.

The department of agriculture has
Issued Farmers Bulletin-No. ISL
designed to convey to the farmer, in
brief and simple manner, the natural
history of the true army worm, cater
pillar which from time to time becomes
enormously destructive to growing &C.
reals, and sometimes to forage crops ;
to give him summary of the informa-
tlon necessary for its control; and es-
pecially to urge upon him the necessity
for constant vigilance in the combat
with this insect.
The true army worm is often con-
fused In the public mind with the fall
army worm, overflow worm," or
''grass worm" as it is known In some
of the extreme southern states. The
datter insect always originates in the
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1916-10-05

South and travels northward as the
summer advances. The western army
worm also Is occasionally mistaken for
the true army worm, but it occurs In
destructive abundance only throughout
the regions west of the Mississippi
river. The true army worm is prob
ably native of North America, al
though 1t Is also found in South Amer
lea. 1t occurs throughout most of the
United States east of the Rocky noun
tains, including the states bordering
the western banks of the Mississippi
and the Missouri river. 1t also has
been found In New Mexico, Arizona
and California.
The loss in money to the farmer by
army worms in the past has been eX-
ceedingly great, and although no exact
estimate is possible, ii Is safe to say
that In the eastern states alone many
millions of dollars worth of grain and
forage crops have disappeared down
their throats during the past thirty
years. The army worm Injuries crops
in but one way, and that Is by eating
away all the tender portions of the
leaves, the immature seed, and sprouts,
and when numerous it may even de-
YOUR the plants down to the very
ground. The more important and by
far the most conspicuous injury is al
ways inflicted by the nearly full-grown
caterpillar, whose greed and capacity
for food are almost unbelievable. The
pupa takes no food. The moth sub
sists principally upon the nectar gath
cred from flowers.
The army worm feeds by preference
upon grasses, both wild and cultlvat-
ed; next, upon the grassllke grains,
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1916-10-05

The true army worm usually 9p ears
In the fields very suddenly, and 1t
seems quite certain that the moths Mt
times fly in great numbers for many
miles In the direction Of the prevail
ing winds, and alight in body to- de-
poslt their eggs at some place favor
able to the development of their off
spring. This fact accounts for the sud-
den appearance Of the army worm in
regions far removed from any known
source of infestatiOn. Generally speak
ing, outbreaks of the true, army worm
are more common following cold, back
ward springs and should be looked for
first in neglected portions of fields upon
which rank growth; Of wild grasses or
lodged and fallen lnripe grpin are to
be found. These Should be examined
frequently and closely to discover the
small, greenish caterpillars, which
may be found In great numbers feeding
near the surface Of the ground under
the sheltering overhanging leaf blades.
When the worms are discovered at
work do not lose a minute, but attack
them vigorously by means of burning
straw over the area. If the caterpil-
lars are well distributed, the crop
should be sprayed heavily with mix
ture composed Of nine ounces of white
arsenic to 80 gallons Of water. Care
should be exercised In preventing
stock from gaining access to the poi
soned grass or grain and being in-
jured or killed by eating il. 1t is far
better to sacrifice portion of the crop,
If the destruction of the pest can be
accomplished thereby, because If the
army worms are not destroyed they will
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1916-10-05

take the crop anyway and probably
devastate other portions of the farm.
In case the worms are crawling in a
body, surround them with furrOw or
ditch and crush them with a log drag
as they fall into it. If shallow post
holes are sunk in the bottom of the
ditch at intervals of about 20 feet, the
worms will crawl along the ditch bot
toms and fall into the holes, where
they may be destroyed by crushing or
other means.

ZanzIbarIs Exile.

The dethroned sultan of Zanzibar,
Aliben-HamOud, who now lives in
Paris, is a pehsioner of the French
government. He claims to be descend
ant of Mahomet, but he has, it is
feared, in his new environment, ceased
to be truly good Mohammedan. He
is called by his intimates Raschid,
which is intended to hint that like Har-
Oun-al-Raschid, of the arabian
Nights" he is not averse to nocturnal
adventures among the intidels of Paris,
that is, to what is known in palmer
English as Stunning" In order to
crafty his personal taste while in some
sort paying homage to the tenets Of
the prophet, it is said that when he
seats himself at table, he is careful to
place the koran beside his plate and
with eyes turned skyward he murmurs
in Arabic: 20 holy prophet, may thy
koran protect me!'' after which he in
dulges to his hearts content in wine
and pork chops.
