Raider Had Lively Voyage.


London, March 30-The tight which
the German raider Moewe had with
the British steamship Otali was not
the only one of the cruise. A Reuter-
dispatch from Copenhagen says the
captain of the Norwegian bark Staut,
which was sunk by the St Theodore
after it had been fitted out as a raider
by the Moewe, states that on the way
home the Moewe had astubborn fight
with the armed British steamer Gov
ernor. The second officer of the Gov
ernor was killed and both arms of a
gunner named Huddoth were shot
off. The Governor eventually was
sunk.
After the prisoners on the st. Theo-
dore had been transferred to the
Moewe off Rio the vessel was sunk.

Austria Would Be Friendly.

Berne, Thursday, March 29.-Via
Paris, March 30.-A neutral diplomat
who arrived here from Vienna today
asserts that Austria is almost fever
ishly anxious to retain good relations
with the United States, but is even
more DESTROYS and determined. to sup
port Germany. The continuance of
friendly relations between Washing
ton and Vienna depends almost en-
tirely, he believes, upon the outcome
of the crisis between Germany and
the United States.
According to the Diplomat, if
America and Germany go to war,
Australia will follow the lead of her
ally, but if peace is preserved, Wen
ma hopes to avoid a break with the
United States.

ECONOMIC PASTURE ON FARM
Practical Data Should Be Secured a.
to Number Of Acres Needed to
Support One Head.

In many cases land Is given over
to use as pasture which will not sup
port sufficient stock to make any rea-
sOnable return on the investment.
Such land properly belongs in the cat
egOry of nOnprOductive land. in that 1t
makes no return commensurate with
the interest on the money invested.
1t should be borne in mind that the
quality of the pasturage in relation to
the land value Is an important con-
sideratiOn in choosing farm. For
instance. what is economic pasture on
land that is worth $40 per acre might,
on land valued at 500 an acre. be de-
cidedly unecOnOmic. This relation
should be carefully studied in buying
a farm with much pasture land. To
determine whether pasture land IL eco
nomic or not, practical data should
be secured as to the number of acres
necessary to support one head Of stock
and the interest on the value Of the
land in question compared with the
current charge per head of the same
kind Of stock for a seasons pasturage.
Or the estimated value Of the return In
increased value Of the stock or Its
products may be used for comparison.
BY this means the relative economy Of
pastures may be determined.

To preserve a given piece Of wood,
holes are bored from four to six inches
deep and SO inches apart and filed
with the compound, after which the
holes are closed with one and a half
inch wood plugs. The powder, accord

after the poles have been put in use
and will preserve the life of the tim

Birds are desirable about premises
not only on account of their beauty

States bureau of biological survey.
They are especially useful as insect
q st-oyers during the breeding period,
when they have to work early and late
to obtain sufficient food for their
nestlings, and their movements at this
time are more interesting than during
any other season. There is. therefore,

will be occupied. In fact, no attrac-
ton for summer birds is more effec-
tual than a series of houses suited 70
the needs and habits Of the various
kinds of house birds.
A few years ago only four species
were commonly regarded as house
birds-the house wren, the bluebird.
the tree swallow and the martin. Since
the movement to protect birds and
make neighbors Of them began. how
ever, their natures and needs have be-
come better understood. and 1t il now
known that many other species will
avail themselves of houses construct
ed for them by their human friends.
The practice of erecting birdhouses
in this country. while now nation
wide. is net so common and uniformly
distributed rs It should be, and more
extended provisions of this nature
cannot fail to result in a largely in
creased number of house birds.

QUESTIONS TO DETERMINE De
FORE BUILDING HOUSES.

Before erecting birdhOuses one
should first determine the kind OF
birds to which his premises are adapt
ed. The question usually next aris-
ing is as to the number of birds that
can be accommodated. Unless grounds
are large, it is generally useless to ex-
pect as tenants more than a pair OF
each species, except martins, accord
Ing to the United States Biological
survey. However, the singular intOl-
erance shown by most birds during the
breeding season to others of their
kind does not operate between those
of different species. A dozen differ
ent kinds of birds will pursue their
several modes of hunting and raise
their families on the same lot, but
rarely two of the same sort. OF all
our native house birds. martins alone
are sOciable.
Birds Are Tolerant.
The fact that birds are more toll
Grant toward strangers than toward
relatives was well illustrated by an
observation made recently In New
Mexico. A one-story Toulouse ten
feet square had nailed to three cor
ners of its roof rough birdhouses made
from packing boxes. One was occu-
pied by violet-green swallowA anotheg
by western bluebIrds. and the third
by English sparrows. A still more ~
markable association of different spe'
cies has been reported by resident
Of st. Louis, Mo-, who once had q
pair each of fiickers. martins, house
wrens and English sparrows nesting
in the same house.
The fact that there is limit to the
possible bird population on any given
tract must be taken into consideration

decided upon, the selection of sites is

Location Of Houses.

shelter has much to do with its sue

decided notions as to proper sur

prefer to breed near houses, but not
within 20 feet of trees or buildings.
Bluebirds are inclined to select or
chards or pastures having scattered
trees. Wrens, thrashers and catbirds
live in thick shrubbery. Robins like
trees with sturdy trunks and branches.
