TOWN IS BUILT ON POTASH
Thriving Community Grows Up Be-

Pure Article.

map as a f~ull-1edged town, shipping

It is all on account of potash and its
by-products. The fields at Holland are
the only ones in the United States
where the almost pure article is

pure potash from the vegetable matter

WHIP POOR-WlLL IS SERVANT
Flies at Night and Catches Bugs and
Beetles That Are Enemies to
i Farmer.

At the first plaintive notes of the
tWhip-poor-will in spring, the farmer
says, tits time to plant corn" The
bird is the corn planters calendar.
ALSO it's the farmers insect destroyer.
It flies only by night and catches the
moths and beetles that venture out
after the sun goes down. Inasmuch
as many Of these beetles and moths
are counted among the farmers enc
mics, the bird is a frst-class friend, re-
marks the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can.
1t sleeps all day, squatting fiat on
the ground, or in the lowest branches
of trees. You can approach quite near
to it at midday and it won't wake up.
If finally you interrupt it, the bird Will
lily a short distance away and settle
down on the ground for another nap.
Since. it turns night into day, twi-
light is it's dawn, and then it does most
of it's singing. So plaintive is the song
that supeTstitious persons have long
ASSOCIATED it with misfortune. It does
mean misfortune to the moths and
beetles.
! From a vantage point on a rail fence
at the edge of the woods it darts out
like an expert fly catcher. To aid it in
the hunt tho whip-poor-will has a bris-
tlelike beard. which is !. baarbed-wire
trap for every insect which gets in
range of the birds head.
1t doesn't go to the bother of build
ing a nest. You'll find the whip-poor-
willis eggs either on the bare ground
or in a heap of dry leaves. Usually
there are two yellowish-white eggs,
spotted with brown.

CATS AS "ENEMlES OF TREES"
Are So Because They Kill Birds, Says
the American Forestry
Association.

A warning that cats are to be con-
sidered enemies Of tree conservation
because they prey upon birds which
destroy insects dangerous to trees, is
issued by the American Forestry asso-
citation of Washington. The warning
says:
June is the month for nesting of
birds, it is the month when by far the
largest nuDaber-of birds of all species
are raising their young. It is the month
when insect life abounds, when the
weather is mild, when storms are few;
the month, by all odds, tbe most propi-
tious for the birds to undertake to in
crease their numbers. 1t is a month,
however, when probably the largest
number of birds are killed.

Complex Bookkeeping.

The n fundamental principle IN
derlytng all successful business is that
the cost must be less than the selling
price. In the operation of this prin-
ciple agriculture is no exception.
Farming, however, is such a complex
business, and the different enterprises
making up the farm unit are so intri-
cately related, that it requires an ex-
pert bookkeeper to juggle the figures
and ascertain whether there has been
profit or loss.
