geon. He said he could help the boy by an operation. The child was eager at the prospect of being like other children-and he is that now, running and jumping. And the big brother in camp thinks of that every time he sees the sign of the Red Cross.
 Private B. at Camp - seemed to his officers willfully stupid. The thrilling things of the new life were only terrible to him. Worry about his family kept taking on new fears. If her allotment did not come promptly what would his wife do? Who would take care of her in her approaching confinement? Who would take care of the children? Would the grocer re- fuse credit? As the others seemed to catch the spirit of the camp, to re- spond to the bugle and the drums and the military ceremonies when battal- ions of new soldiers swung cleanly into the traditional formations to sa- lute the colors-he who saw new souls born in some of them felt him self outcast, rebellious, desperate.
 When the notice went up in the camp he saw his Red Cross field di- rector. Its assurance that the Red Cross was ready to help meant, in his case, that the young wife, who had been SO lonely and so frightened when her allotment was delayed, had expert care in that happy maternity ward in New York-always bright with kind ness-which is the greatest profession al pride of a group oi distinguished physicians who are proud to offer their skill to the home service section of the Red Cross; that the children were tenderly cared for, meanwhile, and money difficulties settled. But, again, it meant much more than this.
 For the Red Cross home service friends did not let that family drop, but continually brought new pleasures and interest into their lives so that they came to have the invigorating sense of their part in the community. New economics took on an interest

kind of dignity of patriotic obsery- ance; there was something new ill everything an unexpected flash of meaning here and there in things that had just been words They began to realize new possibilities in living, new possibilities in themselves. And quite naturally there came to the man the blessed miracle of response to his own uniform.
 No two families are alike, and every home service story is different from every other story The undertaking of safeguarding the homes of our sol diers and sailors is so vast as scarcely to seem credible. Yet it is already so organized that every soldiers and sail or's family may have access to home service. And camp service, which puts the offer of these resources be fore every man in camp, and by which he can bring his private worries to his Red Cross field director, who forms his brigade with home service, has been established already in the majority of our camps and canton ments, and soon will be in every one. This assurance is given to every man as he leaves for France. It is to be in recreation huts, in headquarters, in the hospital wards lover there" These resources which are offered to our defenders are the resources of the American Red Cross, with its tremendous force generated by 22- 000,0 people; the cooperation of great agencies of public welfare; the voluntary services of highly skilled professional men and women. Expert legal advice, expert medical advice, expert. business advice-these things are back of our men. In the matter of information alone, in affairs of al lotments and war risk and other in surance, details in connection with
 business and property, home service has been of incalculable help to thou sands of people.
 But its supreme service is knowing
 what to do when there is loneliness in the home where nobody comes home at night. Home service means friends.
 This is building the strength of an army that cannot be broken-an army of men with their homes protected. It is creating a new social sense m

 One afternoon, at one of our new cantonments, a battalion was ordered to pack all equipment and be ready to

 Wherever our soldiers or sailors are in training they are seeing or are shortly to see a statement like this Notice to Members of the Nation
 al Army.
 The American Red Cross is
 prepared to be of service to the
 families of enlisred men, Scf-
 diers are invited to communicate
 with the Red Cross field director
 at Red Cross headquarters upon
 any problem which may confront
 their families at home. The home
 service of the Red Cross is
 equipped to aid in any emergency
 that may arise in the home of
 soldiers.
 Very quietly, now to this soldier, now to that sailcr, now to this canton ment, now to that camp, now to this family, now to that community, the realization of what this notice means has come as a great revelaticn-as a new strength; as a new hold on life. It means, briefly, that the home ser vice and the camp service of the Red Cross are charged with the duty of safeguarding the homes of the men called to the safeguarding them as literally, as humanly as this: Several weeks after a certain sol dier had enlisted it happened that his wife and children were threatened with election from their home for non-payment of rent. A neighbor sug- gested that the home service of the Red Cross might have influence with the landlord. But the Red Cross workers did more than bridge the fi- nancial crisis, they brought friendship and a new sense of life to that home. In another soldiers home the little brother-eleven years old-who had walked on crutches all his life, fell and broke them. The family did not have enough money to buy new ones, and went to the home service section of the Red Cross. The workers there took the child to an orthopedic sur

they had their uniformsi Drilled sol diers now------------- Some straw was brought into their barracks, after their bedding rolls were packed. and they snatched a few hours sleep on that. Before dawn a quiet order was giv- en to be at the station at such a time. Their barracks were on a hill some what apart from the rest; still, it was necessary to go quietly-their move ments were not to be known to the rest of the camp. And these new sol diers of ours without their furlough. so young in military ways, yet so su- perb in spirit, started to the station in the blackness of the night, on their way to France, to offer themselves singing as they marched; very low, so as not to be heard over the hill: and yet one of their captains and the Red Cross field director said it was the most thrilling singing they had ever heard. low but eXultant-gay songs, wistful and triumphant at the same time, in the quietness and the dark ness. And so they entrained.
 At the dock, before they went aboard their transport, card was given to each one, giving the assurance that the home service of the Red Cross with all its resources was behind them and their families to be a friend in any kind of need---------..- and so they had a farewell more glorious than music and flying banners.
 Cities, towns, villages, isolated farms and cabins are learning about the home service of the Red Cross To all kinds of people it comes as a revelation of the possibilities of life as the beginning of one of the su- preme undertakings of the world.

zine. The article goes on to show
what the snake does for food conser-
walton by way of killing rodents and
insects, the greatest enemies to grain
that man knows. The public has be-
come acquainted with snakes as never
before, writes Mr.. Norton, because Of
the thousands who have been engaged
in the campaign for war gardens that
has been conducted by the national
emergency food garden commission.
s'With this summer the millions of
war gardens have given the snake
popular interest. Tremendously in
creased tillage has brought people and
snakes together.
''Unless much education work is
done the number of snakes that will
be killed next year by the well-mean-
ing but miSinfOrmed gardeners will be
very large. Our snakes are national
asset worth many millions of dollars
and should be conserved. The relation
it bears to successful crops is i'm
portant-more important than even
the average farmer realizes.
Reptiles are not enemies. They
never attack unless in self defense. OF
our 151 species, but IL are poisonous
two species of Flaps, coral snake, and
Is species of Crotaline snakes, the cop
perhead and moccasin, the dwarf and
typical rattlesnakes. On the other
hand the help rendered is valuable.
The pests destroyed each year, espe-
cially the rodents that injure crops
and communicate diseases, roll up
large balance of good service In their
favor. ta8
"RodentS are destroyers of farm
products, cause loss by fire through
gnawing matches and insulation from
electric wires, and Of human life
through germ carrying particularly
the bubonic plague. They also destroy
eggs, young poultry, squads and pig
cons, birds and young rabbits, pigs
and lambs. A loss to husbandry not
estimated in figures, but realized as
extensive, is due to the killing of fruit
trees by girdling or other injuries to
the bark by species of wild rodents.
AS a destructive agency the rodents
have no rival.
'oThe gross ignorance regarding our
snakes causes slaughter of all things
that wear scales and crawl. Farmers
should protect and breed the harmless
snakes rather than kill them. Many
European countries have protective

Each Hen Should Produce
Ten Dozen Eggs Per Year

The average novince can reasonably

ten dozen eggs per hen per year from

the basis Of two hens to each member
Of the family, according to the depart
ment Of agriculture. this VIII give 20
dozen eggs In year to each person,
which amount is about halfway be-
tween the general average Of farm and
city consumption. No back yard p9Fil-
try keeper should be satisfied with less
than this. Every back yard poultry
keeper should try to get as much more
as possible.
To provide an egg day for each
person, two hens would have to lay
183 eggs each per year. This is by no
means an impossible average for small
f1ocks. It is perhaps not too much to
say that in cases where the person at
tending the flock is practically "On
the job" all the time, that is, in posi-
ton to look after the wants of the
birds three or more times a day, an
average of better than Is dozen eggs
per hen can easily be secured, if the
hens are mature and in good condition
at the START, and have the vitality to
carry them through a year of heavy
laying.
