Habits and economic status: This

character as the eastern blue Jay. He
Is the same noisy. rollicking fellow

In bird society. Robblng the nests OF
smaller birds Is fayoriie pastime,

he steal eggs but he kills young chicks
The Insect food OF this Jay constitutes
about onetenth Of its annual susten.
anee. The inclusion OF grasshoppers
and eaterpillars makes this part OF
the birds food In Its favor. But the
remainder Of rs animal diet includes
altogether too large a proportion OF
beneficial birds and their eggs. and
In this respect II appears 10 be worse
than its eastern relative. the blue Jay.
While Its vegetable food is composed
largely OF mast. at times ia liking
for cultivated fruit and grain makes
II most unwelcomo visitor 20 the
orchard and farm. In conclusion II
may be said that over much OF It's
range this Jay is too abundant for
the best interests Of agriculture and
horticulture.

WIN JhOl
teeming with sweet clover, al
falfa and blue grass, so green
that they looked black and all the
time in that rough country we were
travelling over good smooth rock
road, not going through mud holes,
turning over in gullies and jump
ing bull heads, as | still found on
Fords Ferry road on my wav home.
The Pendleton county roads are
fine but crooked, they run along on
the hill for 7 or s miles then go
down cork screw fashion and turn
and twist with the branch for 10 or
IL miles then back on the ridge.
The whole surface OF the county
is rolling hill land, joined in a
series OF ridges two OF which ira
verse nearly the entire length OF tie
county. but everywhere you see the
hills covered with sweet clover,
and alfalfa, with Holstein dairy
COWS cropping the blue grass.
Fiftesn years ago they grew corn,
tobacco and wheat until their land
was full OF gullies, their bank at
Butler Ia little town OF 500 people,
was struggling for existence. An
old man came through the country
attending to bees, he dropped some
sweet clover seed along the road,
it grew, made good pasture, good
feed, prepared the soil for alfalfa.
The people began to notice that al
falfa and sweet clover made good
COW feed, they went into the dairy
business, and when we got off the
train at Falmouth there were $50
milk cows at the station waiting
shipment.
These clovers also make good
bee pasture and we find a great
deal OF interest and attention given
to bee culture, they now have
5000 colonies of honey bees in
the county.
Now the county as a whole has
four state banks with deposits
amounting to sI,II5,ooo and the
farmers deposits alone in that
same little town of Butler amount
to 100000;
After a so mile run through this
rough country we come back to
Falmouth and to dinner. In the
afternoon we went out in another
direction over the rolling but beau
tiful country until we came to a
small area OF smooth lands which
lie along the main and south lick
ing rivers, then back to Falmouth
to supper, to sleep-and awake in
Jefferson comfy.
We found $50 cars parked
around the Y, NJ. c. A. building
and promptly at s;45 we ran east
on Broadway and into the beauti-
full Cherokee Park, on TO Douglas
Boulevard, on to the Bardstone
road where some OF Louisville's
