MOTORCYCLE Knocks Deer Out.

Edward Moscow of Carmel, N. Y,
was hurled from his speeding motor
cycle in collision With large deer
in the darkness outside this village.
He escaped uninjured but the deer
was Knocked out, and it lay stunned
on the road for an hour. Moscow be-
lieved the rays of his searchlight daz-
zled the deer, for as it emerged from
the brush at the roadside and got in
his path, l. suddenly turned and
charged, head-on, catapulted into the
ditch and the motorcycle was wreck
ed. The deer remained motionless.
Moscow took his broken motorcycle
to garage, and when he returned
for the carcass of the deer, which he
supposed was dead, he found it had
recovered and fled.

Game Birds Doing Bit in Saving
Farm Crops

a brief in defense Of some COM
mon game, aquatic and rapacious
birds has been prepared by spe-
cialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The
specialists set out to prove that
many so-called harmful species
of birds in these classes are not
only guiltless of many crimes OF
which they are commonly accused
but they are one of the greatest
agencies in the control of insect
pests, and that many a disastrous
outbreak of such crop destroyers
as chinch bugs, grasshoppers and
May beetles has been prevented
| by the work Of the birds in behalf
of the farmer.
That the truth about the bene-
fetal value may become widely
known the specialists have issued
a publication, Farmers Bulle-
tin No. 497-Some Common
Game, Aquatic and Rapacious
Birds in Relation to Man." which
discusses nineteen species, includ-
ing five kinds of hawks and owls.
The horned grebe, commonly
charged with living entirely upon
fish, is shown to feed largely on
crawfsh, other crustaceans and
insects. Terms also have been
held responsible for serious re-
|duction of food fishes in some To-
|calities, but a careful study Of
their food habits has shown that
only a small proportion of their
diet consists of such fishes.
All the shore birds are striking
ly beneficial in their food habits,
the bulletin says. The slaughter
Of these game birds deprives the
farmer of valuable allies against
some of the worst crop pests. Such
game birds as quail, grouse and
pheasants take less insect food
than the shorebirds, yet all of
them do certain amount of good
Even hawks and owls have bad
name, which for the most part is
|undeserved, it is said, and indis-
crlminate persecution of these
birds is a serious mistake Ex-

is proof that Florida Is gradually
forging to the front in the pro.
duction Of this much sought fruit
and that it's superior flavor and
richness of juice is rapidly plac.
ing it in popular favor.
Recently the very pinnacle Of
high prices on grapefruit and or
anges was reached in the New
York market, when Florida or,
anges brought $11 a box ano
grapefruit brought as high as S.
a box. AT the same time the
choice California Navels brought
only $1005. The fact that the
fruit crop has been light in both
Florida and California the past
season and the general high prices
prevailing on all foodstuffs, has
initiated in favor of the grower
and nearly every owner of grove
in Florida has made a handsome
profit this year, even though
there was some loss last winter
with the early cold snap, which
did slight damage in certain sec
tons of the state. In California
it was hot weather that created
havoc with the crop and shorten
ed it to very material extent.
Last summer the thermometer
reached 118 degrees and remain
ed there long enough to scorch
the trees and cause them to drop
most of their fruit in certain sec
tons. Florida has never suffer-
ed loss from this cause.
The fruit growers Of Florida
now have the opportunity to lead
the country in both production
and prices, providing they will
take a'lesson from California and
adopt the cooperative method Of
marketing the fruit through the
citrus exchange, which is an or
ganization of growers, now con-
trolling about 40 per cent of the
fruit grown in the state and which
would prove very much more eff
fective in securing the best prices
for all Florida fruit if the mem
bership were increased to a point
where at least so per cent of the
fruit was handled and marketed
through this organization, which
maintains a sales force in all of
the leading market centcrs of the
East, North and central West
Times Union.

Girls Fine Investment

The Pig Club movement is good
for several reasons-it permits
the young people to apply them
selves in ways that will make
them thrifty; it increases produc-
ton of food products vitally need
ed, and increases the wealth of
the community and the nation.
An Illustration was made this
week by County Agent r. T. Kel-
ley, who stated that Rose Fem,
member of the club, purchased a
Duroc-Jersey pig on April 2, 1917,
the cost being $3.50, and a means
was provided whereby the pig
could be had without the outlay
of any money at the time. On
May IA, 1918, five pigs from the
first litter were sold for $3.50
and the girl retains ownership of
the SOW, together with two pigs,
the litter numbering seven. what
Rose Fem did can be done by 9th
