Growing chicks that have, during

Rape is a splendid feed for sheep
and hogs as well. 1t is usually pas,

and one wishes to get the most from
the crop, it is cut and fed to the
stock and then when it grows up
again, is pastured.
Rape is generally broadcasted in the
early spring on well prepared ground

acre. When the plants are about eight
inches high turn the sheep into the

COUNTING THE
BIRDS

A census of birds Is to be taken
all over the country the last of May
and first of June by Federal investi'
gators. 1t is believed that by count.
ing nesting places, fairly accurate
idea of bird population can be had
II such a census had been made ten
or twenty years ago, 1t Ia probable
that the 1916 figures would show n
large decline.
The birds are the principal defend
ers OF growing crops against pests.
But public sentiment has been slow
to secure their protection. II a bird
serves no visible purpose in the state
where he spends part of his life, he
Is ruthlessly slaughtered for pot pie
regardless OF whether he is the sal
walton of the crops in some other
state. The migratory bird law Civ
ing uniform protection is yet to be
passed on as to constitutionality by
the United States Supreme court.
Bird life has many enemies. The
ignorant immigrant, regarding this
as free country, joyously gets GU
with shot gun and slaughters a do
zen or two songsters for luscious
dinner. Decadent natives kiln then
for shipment to city hotels. The cat'
from cultured homes roam unrestrain
ed through orchards and lawns, pick
ing up the young who cannot fly.
1t seems inconsistent to spend mil
lions in teaching the farmer how L
raise crops, and next to nothing OF
saving the birds that are the onl
sure protection OF the crops afte
they are planted.
Thus protection of bird life Is II
timately related to cost of living

THE TOWN BEAUTIFUL
MOVEMENT

The prevailing mode of town de
velopment for the past 25 years II
progressive towns has been to lay
out streets in checkerboard form n
right angles. Some theorists of civ
ic progress have advanced the idec
OF late that lay out of curvine
streets Is more beautiful. They point
to German cities that followed this
plan to a large extent before the
war. The right angled plan they
condemn as too stiff, formal and geo
metrical.
In towns having hills or bluffs
curving streets are frequently need
full to conform to the lie of the land
But there are some practical objec-
lions to them on level ground. They
usually make more steps for man and
beast, though 1t is true that in some
instances they do cut corners. They
lead to irregular shaped lots, and pro-
mote a more scattered development
OF the town necessitating larger ex-
pense for street and sidewalk and
sewer development.
The laying out of streets is mat
ter to be strictly controlled by mum
icipal authorities. In the more pro-
gressive towns it Is usually so regu-
lated In some OF the older and less
advanced places, there Is disposi'
ton to allow real estate men to run

CHILDREN AND STREET
pERIlS

Here is the kind of thing which
happens day after day in the public
highways. A wagon or automobile
is drawn up by the side of the street
in some neighborhood thickly popu-
lated with children. An automobile
comes along at a good rate of speed.
From behind the standing vehicle a
child dashes across the street in the
path OF the machine. 1t often happens
that the motorist cannot stop in time
to avert an accident.
This often happens in districts &C.
cupied by aliens, but It may occur
anywhere. Where families are large
a hard working woman has no time
to look after her scattered brood.
Children cannot safely play in the
streets. They should learn about
these perils the day they are able to
understand the first word Of com
mand. No matter how humble or
how ignorant the family, little bud
ding life has big possibilities, and
everyone who uses the streets should
do his best to assure its safety.
In this peril the mischief of build
ing houses and tenements without
suitable Fairgrounds becomes appar-
rent. An active child is bound to
kick up its heels somewhere. If
there is no home playground, the
street will inevitably serve.
In such occurrences as described
above, public sentiment usually fav-
ors the motorist. 1t is held that the
should know better than to
dash across the streets without look
ing. Yet IL a driver would cut his
speed way down through thickly pop
ulated districts. this kind of thing
would rarely happen.
1t is safe to assume, when butch
er's or bakers cart Is drawn up at
one side, that some youngster is con-
Quoting an investigation of it's con.
tents from the rear. Having con
cluded his observations, he is liable
to pop out any minute. and he is be-
yond the influence Of motor horns.
The motorist should anticipate him
and be running slowly enough to
stop. 1t is not so much Of calamity
to reduce speed in crowded districts
as some drivers seem to think.
