Why Not Make the Insects
Economic on Food?
Protecting the Lives of Birds and Destroying Cats
Would Do 1t, and Save BILLION DOL
LARS EVERY YEAR

Mr. C. Maratt assistant chief of the Bureau of Enn-
ology in the Department of Agriculture gives facts the
cost Of feeding insects that ought interest anybody
with brain bigger than that of the smallest of those in
dects
%. First, observe what the insects do
While told to economic in the of grain in
sects destroy millions upon millions in grain part of their
yearly diet.
It costs at least ONE BILLION DOLLARS year to
feed the insects And determined action by Government
with proper protection for birds would eliminate 80 per cent
If all this destruction
costs the United States fifty million dollars yearly to
feed its rasshoppe sixty millions feed the Chinch bug
The Hessian fly costs forty millions yearly the
cotton boil weev eight Millions the potato bug eight
millions the army worm fifteen millions and the small
destructive cabbage worm eats up five million dollars
worth of cabbages year.
The harm that insects do in destroying food crops and
killing cattle is only part of the damage.
They do amount of harm that be calculated
in dollars, In the carrying CT disease.

The tick which destroys cattle entirely in many States
is carried by insects from one animal to another.
The stomach that destroys sheep and makes i'm
possible to raise sheep in certain districts from
parasite that lays its eggs on the grass.
Mosquitoes carry yellow fever and malaris-ehminate
mosquitoes and malaria and yellow fever will disappear
Hundreds of thousands of men made worthless by
malaria
The backbone of this difficulty could be broken if the
country would protect its birds
First by preventing the murder of birds on gigantic
scale for sport for money making by those that shoot
the birds to SELL
Second by eliminating the CATS that destroy the birds
and do NOT destroy mice and rats
Back in April 1918, the Government started the work
of bird protection and insect determination.
Senator Mclean suggested that the President propose
governments of other countries convention by whicE
the different countries would agree protect and
the migrating birds This Government adopted the resou
tion.
Great Britain and Canada took it up and passed the
necessary laws.
The Senate did whatever necessary The President
proclaimed the treaties.
Now, backed by the National Grange the National
Farm Alliance the National Association of Game and Fish
Commissioners and by the organised spormen of the
country the bill is waiting for action in the House It ought
not to wait very long.

MOthering Hens Show
Human Traits
By Winifred d Black

TINE neighbors have some new
chickens-white onesl
They're as pretty as they
can be, SO neat and trim and or
derly-but, oh, how they do amuse
me!
They're so in love with them
selves, so pleased with their own
appearance and so perfectly con-
tented with their own brains.
"Cluck!" said the white hen,
when | was looking at them this
morning. "Cluck, do for goodness
sake look at me-see how neat /
am! Have you noticed the way
pick up my feet, and what other
hen in the world ever had such a
nice pair of wings?"
A Hens Vanity.
"Look at that old Cochin China
strutting around. You'd think he
owned the whole barnyard-great,
big, clumsy, OvergroWn thingI
Just wait until my husband gets
ready-he'll show him, but in a
perfectly proper way. of course.
We think everything of etiquette

neighbor for buying hens, but,
since he has bought them,
wouldn't give up the fun have
watching them for worlds-they're
so much like people that they
keep me reminded of my friends
all the time.
Mrs. Goodhearted is the name of
the Cochin China hen. She's a big,
blowsy, careless, good natured,
friendly creature, without an un-
kind thought in her head-and
more trouble to her husband than
a dozen malicious, venomous,
wicked creatures could possibly be.
She never hears him when he
calls her to breakfast. She's al
ways so busy trying to help him

MN at all, and by the time she has
come to from her trance in which
she's dreaming of glorious worms
and gorgeous flies for the whole
family the rooster from the other
flock has come over after her
breakfast. and her own rooster has
to fight for his life to keep a NOR
sci for her.
She's absent-minded and forget
tul and easy-going; she never gets
to the water pan till all the other
hens have begun to spill the water.
And then she's frightful gossip.
She doesn't mean a bit of harm,
you can tell that, but every time
she gets to chatting with the
Brown Leghorn there's a perfect
family upheavaI and Mr.. Cochin
China has to apologize to Mr..
Brown Leghorn-and she's so nuz-

awful time with that white hen
and her friends. They'll never

foundation of future unhappiness
for that child.
For life, unlike these unwise
mothers, does not often give us
our own way. Neither do the
child's future associates give it its
own way. Thus the child, selfish
and undisciDlined at home, gets
many hard knocks when it leaves
home; and the fact that it needs
these hard knocks and is benefited
by them does not make them any
easier to bear.
But the most important point of
all for the too indulgent mother
to remember is that others actual
ly dislike her spoiled child. They
also dislike the spoiled man or wo-
man that child may develop into.
And this again makes life very
hard for the spoiled individual.
Some OF the unhappiest men and
women | know are the victims Of
too-indulgent parents. They do
not realize the source Of their un-
happiness. They only know that
they don't get on with people; +"
they cannot understand why.
Still q Spoiled Child.
l know one woman, sixty years
of age, of whom it may safely be
said that in all her life she has
never once unselfishly considered
another human being. II the plans
OF others fit in with her own, all
right. II they do not, she will
ignore without scruple the con-
veniences of a dozen persons.
In many ways the woman is a
fine type. She is a generous friend
when she can be generous with
out sacrificing her own comfort or
convenience. She despises gossips
and talebearers. She is a devout
Christian. Yet. with all this, she is
a mass of selfishness.
Once. when her selfishness was
especially fragrant. her sister
studied her in silence for a long
time At last she said quietly:
Mary, hasn't il ever occurred to
you that sometimes-if only once
in a long. long while-you ought
to consider others first, instead OF
yourself?"
Mary stared at her resentfully.
II don't know what you mean,"
she answered.
She spoke truly, for she did not
know Her own family had always
considered her first. Like every
spoiled child she expects the same
attitude from the worlds great
family. She exacts this attitude
where she can. When she falls
and she fails often-she is sur
prised and grieved.
Life is an affair OF give and take.
We must put into it the equivalent
of what we take from it. In our
associations with others We must
consider them at least as much as
ourselves.
But dhis reflection rarely occurs
to the unhappy spoiled children"
of the world.

q HE was a wonderfully baby to
y look at. She had tight yell
~ low curls, vividly pink cheeks,
eyes as blue as the waters of Ber-
muda, and a shy, adorable smile.
For the moment she was quiet,
playing contentedly with her doll.
Those around, feigning to ignore
her, regarded her with secret rap
ture.
Within fifty seconds the peace
full scene changed.
"Come, darling" said the baby's
mother. Its time for your nap
The baby's lips set in a straight
line. No." she remarked firmly,
without looking up.
Her mothers face took on a
careworn expression.
"Oh, DEAR" she remarked to her
callers, Il do hope she isn't going
TO be stubborn"
But she was. That was made
clear at once.
Come, dear" repeated the
mother, coaxingly. The dollies
will come, too. They want a nice

"No," said the baby, again, and
this time the word came out with
a shrek. simultaneously the child
hurled herself backward.
Her little mouth formed an o.
Her face turned purple. Her yells
could have been heard in the
street below. Her mother rushed
to her side.
Hush, darling! Don't cry,
DON'T" she begged. "Mother won't
make her baby take a nap il she
doesn't want to! Come, sit up
that's a good girl. Let mother

The child yielded to the impel-
ling hand. Her shrieks subsided
into gurgles.
No nap" she sobbed, brokenly.

Her mother thrust a doll into
her arms.
mo, indeed she comforted,
hurriedly. No nap. Just be a
good girl and play with dollies.
No nap"
The baby resumed her play.
Before she did so she cast glance
at those around her. She was a
few months more than two years
old-but in that glance lay tri-
umph and a sense of power.
Did you see me?" the glance
seemed to ask. That's the way |

Half an hour later the episode

threw herself on the floor and
yelled until the suggestion was re-
