Economy in Science.

The increased extent to which the
large industrial corporations of the
country now support their own de
partments Of scientific research is q
gratifying development Of the times.
Science Is regarded as q necessity
rather than q luxury. And this COM
ing Of science into its own as large
factor in the industrial life Of the
Nation Is necessarily followed by a
certain reaction of business upon
science. Never before, perhaps, has
the demand been so keen for research
that is no less than ever scientific in
spirit and in method but that a de-
finite purpose and yields definite re
suits. The idea of making science
useful is not new, but the utility of
science has become more universally
the test Of its value.
In the scientific work done under
the Federal Government this demand
for results is abundantly justified by
the public need. IF the strongest
corporations are making large use
Of chemists, physicists and geolo-
gists, the general public has similar
need in its service for applied
science. .sI {.
The business policy Of organizing
scientific investigation for effective
work, however, is far from novel, 70,
IN 1878, in the report to Congress
advocating the creation Of the United
State Geologicalsurv the National
Academy Of Sciences described the
ideal plan for scientific bureau as
that which, would yield the tebest re.
suits at the least possible cost
Since that day, moreover, economy
ip science has become more press,

Feed the Birds in Winter.

The birds which remain with us in
winter are always in imminent dan
ger Of starvation during periods Of
deep snow and low temperature.
Many birds live on foods obtained
from the ground, others from weed
tops and plants that are covered by
deep SHOWS. Much can be done to
supply the birds with food and many
bird lives can be saved by a little
care and attention at this time.
Feeding stations should be estab-
lished near residences for such win
ter birds as the downy and hairy
woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches,
brown creepers, evening grosbeaks
and other winter residents or visit:
ants. Suet, seeds Of various kinds,
ground meat scraps, etc, placed in
artificial feeding stations, or in any
suitable place, will attract the birds
in large numbers. Suet may be
fastened to branches Of trees, grain
may be scattered on straw or litter
in sheltered places which may be
protected by boughs to prevent COW
ering with snow.
In the fields, thickets and wood
shelters. should be provided for the
quail and food placed for them dur
ing the winter months. Quails are
not native to Minnesota but are be-
coming very hardy and with. care
and attention in winter may be made
very plentiful. The care Of the bob
white quail is effort worthy Of all
farmers and sportsmen as it is q
bird. most beneficial to agriculture
and highly priced game bird. On
account of their habit of roosting in
compact groups on the ground quail
are often smothered by drifting
SHOWS which become hardened by
sleet and ice. Loosely constructed
shelters will prevent this.
Prairie chickens gladly accept corn
and sheaf grain when their natural
feeding places are buried in snow.
Starvation and exposure are not
the only causes of mortality among
birds in winter. Mink, weasels,
house cats, wandering dogs, foxes
and great horned owls are dangerous
and destructive enemies of birds in
the winter season. Shelters which
may be prepared for quail should be
of such loose construction that the
birds may easily escape these en-
emies.
Game wardens will render all
possible assistance in the care Of
birds in winter and may be called
upon for instructions in preparation
OF feeding stations, suitable food
and other help and advice. Every
puplic school should be center Of
bird care and conservation in winter;
the boys and girls become intensely
| interested when properly directed By
| their teachers.

Members May Compromise on Near.
Dry Measure Would Wipe
Out Saloon.

St.APaul-(SpeciaD DO not be sur.
priseds If the movement to place Min
nesota in the dry column, which in
the minds of many has an excellent
chance of reaching the voters of the
state, finishes on a near dry basis. A
halfway scheme is under consideration
and the surprising feature of it all is
the apparent eagernes of quite num-
Der of legislators, regarded as dry, to-
climb aboard. The proposition ad-
vanced is to amend the prohibition
measure as introduced in the two Min
nesota houses to the extent of con-
f'ning it to high proof liquors only.
This would hit the whisky end of the
liquor business and permit the manu-
facture and sale of beer and light
wines in limited quantities. Such
sales would be by the manufacturer
to consumer direct. Further, it would
wipe out of business the public drink
ing place, which is the chief object of
the Anti-Saloon league, now behind
the movement for dry state. The
idea of a compromise was whispered
several days ago, but it took on sub
stantial proportions when copies of
the proposed dry amendment were
printed and circulated among a few.
These few included the dry leaders in
the house and senate and while they
have maintained strict silence as to
their view of the scheme it can be
