BIG PRICE FOR COAL
SHIPS AT BOSTON

Boston, Mass, July Some idea
of the tremendous advance in ths
price of steamships since the begin
ming of the European war can DC
seen in the fact that three steamers
which cost 100000 have just been
sold here for s2.2s7.500. William H.
Randall and Company made the sale
for the Shawmut Steamship Company

INVITES AND PROTECTS BIRDS
Massachusetts, City Has Common
Sense Plan of Guarding the Trees
on Its Streets.

The town of Br0okline, Mass, is
teaching the country at large a valu-
able lesson. First of all, of course,
Brookline had to learn the lesson for
itself. The town priced its trees, and
sought by the usual means to guard
them against the attack of insect
pests. The campaign, however, was
not entirely successful. The leopard
moth invaded Brookline, and against
this tree enemy poisonous sprays avail
little. Birds alone can hold it in check.
So Brookline, few years ago, went
seriously about the business of induc-
ing birds to come and stay. In 1910
it wanted woodpeckers, and it issued
its invitation, but only few respond
ed. Three years later Brookline had
learned enough through experiment to
justify the municipality in building
and placing 100 nesting boxes.
That was the beginning; year by
year since then the work has been ex-
banded. The nesting boxes increased
in number and variety, and during the
winter thousands of birds were fed
daily at 1926 municipal feeding sta
tons, operated by the town author
tiles at the public's expense. And now,
says report from Brookllne, "the
plans for the securing Of bird help in
insect destruction will be carried on
during the coming season with greater
determination than ever"

ONLY CORN HAS BEEN eATHERED-FoRAeE is DECAY

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The annual straw crop Of the United
States amounts to approximately 1907
100000 tons, and the average value of
all kinds Of straw is placed by spe-
cialists In the United States depart
ment of agriculture at about So ton
when fed to live stock. In many Sec
tons Of the country, Of course, no such
price can be realized and, as mat
ter Of fact, only a very small part of
the crop actually is sold. Five dol
lars ton, however, may be considered
to represent the value of straw to the
farmer If he will use 1t properly.
Nevertheless, investigations by the
department show that only about two
thirds of the great straw crop is put
to its best use-live-stock production.
OF the remainder little more than
one-half is sold or turned under and
the rest, which amounts to about 10
per cent Of the total crop, is burned,
as though, instead of being a potential
source Of revenue, 1t was merely a
nuisance to be got rid of In the easiest
possible manner Flowing under, too,
though not such an absolute waste as
burning, is an uneconomical way of
utilizing straw. 1t does contribute
something, 1t is true, to soil fertility,
but the benefit to the land Is less than
that which would be derived from the
manure produced by feeding the straw
to live stock. "Of all systems of at
tanning permanent soil fertility" says a
recent publication Of the department,
none is SO practical or as easily avail
able as that Of feeding live Stock
In order to illustrate how straw may
be most economically utilized, the new

M HELPS
WOULD GUARD AGAINST FIRE
National Board OF Underwriters
Urges Greater Care In the Con-
struction of Dwelling.

Realizing the large annual losses
sustained by thousands Of home own
ers through construction which tends
to spread fires instead Of retarding
them, the committee on construction
of buildings of the national board of
fire underwriters has issued book
let Of 115 pages on methods Of in
creaslng the fire-resistive qualities of
dwellings, says Engineering Record.
Builders everywhere, especially In To-
calities outside the control Of build
ing ordinances (and by far the ma
jority of ordinary dwellings are built
In such localities), will find valuable
information In this presentation of
methods for making houses reasonably
safe from fire. Particularly import
ant, not only for builders, but for
owners and the general public, are
the sections devoted to floor and roof
construction; chimneys, flues, smoke
pipes and freplaces; fire stopping
and general precautions for fire pro-
lection.
Generally recognized dangers from
such old offenders as single roofs,
unlined chimneys, unprotected stair
ways and shafts are strikingly Illus
trated, and many simple and effective,
while relatively inexpensive, devices
in construction which retard the
spread of fire are clearly explained.
Every potential house owner will find
1t profitable to become familiar with
these building precautions, which may
prevent loss of life as well as of prop
erty. Engineers, through their posi-
tons In building departments and
their participation as plain citizens in
civic associations, chambers of COM
merce and similar organizations, can
let 1t be known that ordinary dwell
ings can readily be improved as to
their fire-resistive qualities, and can
direct interested parties to the proper
source of information.

WINTER ROU6HAGE FOR HENS
Nothing Better Than Lawn Clippings,
Second Crop Glover, and Grass
When Properly Cured.

Every poultryman ought to provide
supply of green feed for the use of
the hens In winter. Green vegetables
are excellent in their place, but nothing
Is better than lawn clippings, second
crop clover and grass.
Lawn clippings should be raked up
and spread on the barn floor or in some
other shady place to dry, writes
Charles III. Chesley In Farm and Home.
Two days of drying in the shade prop
erly cures the grass. 1t should then
be put in bags and hung away where
1t can be kept for winter use.
Second-crop clover, Of any variety,
is excellent and 1t should be cured
and treated in the same manner as the
lawn clippings. Cut clover before 1t
blooms. BY moving the timothy field
or red top patch closely, after 1t has
had a chance to get start In late sum-
mer, a lot Of winter roughage for the
birds also can be obtained.

ROLE WAS FORCED ON DADDY
Really Had No Desire to Act as ,Fa.
Their to the Girl, but He Had
Been Forestalled.

The dowagers and chaperons whis-
pered their surprise that so young and
so pretty girl should have devoted
herself the whole evening to man SO
much her senior. True he danced
well enough and was known as man
of many millions. Still they had never
thought Meta mercenary.
Half way through the evening the
couple disappeared onto balcony. The
girl sat down and the man stood gaz-
Ing down at her. Without the slight
est warning he asked her to be his
wife. He was widower, as she knew.
II wanted to please YOU" she said,
"but did not expect this"
ut is the unexpected that happens
he said with smile.
"I'm sorry" she said, "and I'm glad
at the same time. have been trying
to make you like me-"
"Why?"
II like you so much, as father"
Thanks" he interrupted; "Pm not

"Of course not. But l came here
solely to meet and be introduced to
you. Why? Because last night
married your son."

Saved Daylight" 20 Years.

Monson, In Maine, wonders why
there is so much ado about the "day-
light saving" plan. According to the
Youths Companion, about 40 years ago
someone in the town suggested that 1t
would be good thing for the work
ers In the slate quarries to gain an
hour Of daylight by going to work an
hour earlier in the morning and stop
ping work an hour earlier at night.
The town adopted the suggestion, but
instead Of changing the working hours
1t set the clocks ahead. Through all
the years since then the clocks of
Monson have been an hour ahead of
the clocks in other Maine towns.

coco IS SERIOUS WEED PEST
Plant Also Known as Nut Grass b.
One of Most Troublesome Weeds
to Deal With.

(By e. r. LLOYD, Director of Mississippi.
Experiment Station.)
Coco or nut grass Is one of the most
troublesome weeds that we have to
deal with In the state. There are
large areas of splendid land, as well al
a good area Of hill country, infested
with this grass, but we know of no
pratical method of eliminating 1t and
1t has no economic value. Many
Delta farmers are using coco land for
growing small grains and alfalfa and
1t does not seem to interfere with
crops which are planted broadcast.
The grass may be held partially In
check by sowing the land thickly to
fall oats and as soon as the crop h
removed in June plant the land broad
cast to cowpeas. The two crops viii
shade the land practically an entire
year and smother out a considerable
portion Of the grass, but this method
will not exterminate II.

Vegetable Ashes.

Do not throw away any vegetable
ash, for all ashes have decided gar.
den value. Some seem to have the
impression that trashy material re.
turns ashes Of little worth, but the re.
verse is often true. Ashes from cotton
hulls have shown as much as 80 per
cent of potash and sold for $40 ton
Some weeds would prove equally rich
In addition there is always some phos-
phoric acid and heavy per cent OF
lime. That most precious element, nj.
trogen, however, was all burned out,
therefore these substances would
prove Of greater value If allowed to
decompose in the soil rather than be
destroyed by combustion. Ashes of de.
ciduous trees, being nearly all hard.
woods, are Of more value than those
from evergreens, for the latter are
nearly all conifers-pines, Expresses,
etc.

HAVING TOOLS SAVE EXPENSE
With Hayloader Man Can Complete
Load In Half Time, Says Expert
of Ohio State University.

How long does 1t take to pitch on
a load of hay? Prof. H. G. Ramsower
of the agricultural engineering depart
ment, Ohio State university, says 1t
takes from 35 to As minutes for one
man to pitch on one load while the
same man can complete load in Is
to 20 minutes with hayloader. Pro-
fessor Ramsower also points out the
advantage Of having complete line
Of haying machinery to save extra ex-
pense of labor during the harvest sea-
son. Slings and hay carriers are es-
pecially useful in saving difficult la-
Dor.

ARGUMENT FOR GOOD ROADS
Railroads of Country Haul Yearly
195,5s6,s4o Tons Of Farm Prod
ucts Over Smooth Rails.

There is the strongest kind of an ar
gument for good roads In report. Of
the interstate commerce commission
that in one year the railroads of this
country hauled 1,949,6S9,599 tons of
freight, of which 195,5S6,840 tons were
the products of agriculture. This tom
mage Of freight was hauled over $780,
600 miles Of railroad, but before 1t
reached the railroad It was hauled over
100000 miles Of wagon road.
The railroad haul was over the
smoothest and most level road that
can be made. The highway haul was
mostly over unpaved and ungraded
dirt roads, full of ruts, sinkholes and
knobs. If the farmers were organized
into corporations as the railroads are,
they would soon discover they could
not afford the enormous waste Of bad
roads.--Kansas City Times.

Rations for Winterins Breeding Cows.

The economical use of straw in
such combinations as these will also en-.
able farmers In the western states to
purchase their feeder cattle In the fall
and carry them through the winter
without undue expense. The prices
for feeder cattle are frequently so
much lower in the fall that If the cost
of wintering can be kept down, it will
prove profitable to secure stock at that
time instead of in the spring. AS a
matter of fact, in number of western
states 1t frequently happens that grass
is wasted because cattlemen are I'M
willing to purchase enough steers to
consume 1t at the high prices fire.
quently asked in the spring. An easy
way to avoid this waste and to secure
the maximum returns from available
pastures Is to purchase the feeding
herd in the fall and carry it through
the winter on ration In which straw
plays an important part.

Making House Entrance Attractive.

To one who must watch. expenses
carefully, the solution of the entrance
to the grounds of the country house is
often difficult task. When one can
afford to employ the services Of a
landscape architect the problem is, of
course, simplified.
The guiding spirit here, as in the
structural features of the house itself,
should be to create an entrance, simple,
attractive, substantial and in harmony
with the surroundings.
Stones are generally easy to procure
In the country; therefore stone pillars
with durable gate between make an
attractive entrance, within reach of
even the limited purse.
Growing vines and flowers will add
greatly to the general attractiveness
of this approach and furnish the con-
Meeting link between entrance and
grounds.
