Enemies Of House Birds.

Bird tenants have numerous enc
alies from which a careful landlord
will try to guard them. Among these
s the English sparrow, whose persist
emit attacks too often drive more desir-
able birds away from their nests and
from the neighborhood. Those who
wish to free their premises of these
sparrows will find recommendations in

Cats and large snakes are enemies
Of birds, the former perhaps killing
more birds than any other mammal.
Trees and poles supporting houses
should be sheathed with tin or gal
vanized iron to prevent these enemies
from climbing to the nests. Squirrels
give more or less trouble by gnawing
houses, eating eggs and killing nes-
things. Red squirrels, in particular,
have very bad reputation in this re-
spect, and many experimenters keep
their grounds free from them. Some
regard flying squirrels as but little bet

Two Organizations, One Aim.


There are two organizations of suf-
fragists represented in Washington,
ably represented, and in considerable
part, let one who wants to be gallant
say, beautifully represented. There is
the National American Woman Suf-
frage association, and then there is the
Congressional Union for Woman Suf-
frage. Both bodies of women are striv-
ing for the same end, but each is TAX
ing a different route to reach it.
1t has been said by some persons
that the union represents militant suf-
frage methods, like those which were
in use in England, and that the Ma
tional association represents the other
method of getting the vote the women
want. 1t is only right to say that the
miIitancy of the Congressional union
is not militancy by force of arms "or
of bricks Some people call the sta
tioning of silent sentinels in front OF
the White House militancy. Others Go
not so call it. 1t was representatives
of the Congressional union who IN
furled the suffrage banner in the house
of representatives when the president
was making his address to the mem
bers. This has been called A1ilitancy
although it certainly is not stoi4e-throw-
ing militancy.

GRASS CLIPPINGS GOOD,
FOR THE POULTRY FLOCK

Grass clippings are an excellent
green feed for chickens. The back
yard poultry flock Of family often
lacks sufficient green feed with a
consequent reduction of egg and
meat production. With the easy
availability of lawn clippings the
city poultryman can always have
green feed through the summer for
his chickens. The flock can be fed
daily as much Of the green clippings
as they will eat. Il any continued
bowel trouble shows. the amount
should be reduced. The remainder Of
the clippings can be allowed TO dry
and fed moistened during the time
between lawn cuttings.
Amounts in excess can be dried
for winter use. Dried grass clip
pings, moistened and fed TO the
flock. are a very fair substitute for
the succulent green feeds Of sum-

POWER LIFT TRACTOR
LOCAL DEVELOPMENT

The Casaday Power Lift Tractor
Gang is one of the really important
Developments in agricultural imple-
ments that will assist the farmer in
overcoming the farm help problem.
A tractor is a practical investment
on a farm of 125 to $50 acres or
more. The great mistake made in
this connection is in getting a trac
tor OF too little or too great power.
The farmer must buy a tractor that
will pull at least two 14-inch plows.
The three-bottom tractor is the
most popular sign for the average
farm of 200 acres or better. An
other mistake the farmer makes is
in buying a good tractor and paying
little attention to his implements
used with IL. It must be borne in
mind the tractor only supplies the
power, while the pillow does the real
work Casaday plows have the
reputation Of being the lightest
draft plows ever built. This is due
in a large measure TO the splendid
shapes of the bottoms that shear
the ground, lift and turn it over
with the least possible friction and
these same patterns are used in
connection with the Casaday Pow
er Lift Gang.
]. o. Casaday, president of the
South Bend Chilled Plow Co, has
personally developed this pillow. 1t
is a credit to his invention genius.
He has not been satisfied TO pro-
duce an ordinary plow, but has
made il one that may be used under
the most adverse circumstances. It
contains many ref1neIAents in addi-
ton to the general advantages. It
is equipped with gravity lock cleois
pins that only require turning an
eccentric winged head TO remove or
shift. The important feature and
the one that appeals to every farm
er is the extremely high lift. No
tractor pillow previously produced
could be lifted high enough to avoid
dragging and clogging when turn
ing. With the Casaday IL is only
necessary when reaching the turn
ing point to jerk the trip rope. The
pillow lifts instantly The lift is ac-
complished by a system of eccen-
! tries and pantograph levers work
ing in connection with a clutch in
the land wheel which is equipped
with spuds TO avoid slipping. While
the Casaday Power Life Tractor
Gang is new development ii has
been thoroughly tested and several
are working in adjacent territory.

larger number being present than at

is an evidence of the growing en-

his inability to properly look after

was very important feature of the
