Why the Blue Heron Is Funny.

Did you ever watch a great blue
heron fishing? Knee deep he stands
in some pool, stream or bay, and no
marble statue has anything on him for
being immovable, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger. Presently some member
of the fnny tribe, perhaps a chap out
of class or the whole school even,
wanders by beneath the crystal depth
and-whack The combination of long
bent neck and dagger bill does a stunt
that is both funny and effective and
generally gets the fish. The entire as
pect is peculiar and hard to describe :;
il is much like a miniature and plumed
clOthesrack with a crazy tOngs at
tachment, the latter being heightened
by a released watchspring. You can
see it, but merely so; no more than
that.

In all these districts the Ukrainians
form from 76 TO 80 per cent of the

Poles and, lastly, Russians.
The Rurik dynasty founded Ukraine.
When it disappeared, as all monarchies
must. the next organization that kept

public Of the Cossacks, whose domain
oyerlapped Lithuania and Poland, who
occupied much of the Ukraine soil.
The COssacks were organized some

western Europe. Their precepts were
obedience, piety, chastity and equal

If the crop specialists in your state

A CHANGING ATTITUDE IN FARM
ING

Farming is being adapted more
and more TO a business basis, and
farmers are being recognized by the
business men Of the cities as having
real business standing. The express
sion, Farmers and business men,"
has become Farmers and other
business men" Once the young
man learned the farming trade by
working mostly with his father
and brothers; now he learns farm
ing in that way and also in school
and college, and by the study and
practice of modern business meth

type of fermer from the countryman
of one or two generations ago.
The demand of the present farm
er has brought about new method
of dealing with him and supplying
him with any available information
he may desire. IL is recognized
that il is not good practice to load
farmers with advice-to tell them
what TO do and when to do it-and
this changed attitude brings more
satisfactory relations to all concern
ed. II has resulted in freer consul
tation and the arrival at safer con
illusions and more correct practices
than could possibly come from
working separately.

hogs and fat steers must later on be
marketed at the same time-to the
disadvantage of all concerned.
But-why grow soft corn, when a
crop of hard corn costs less per
bushel?
Corn is planted when the soil is still
cold, and just after the soil has been
leached by the winters rains. Avail
able plant food I'm the soil is lacking.
The reserves in the seed are soon ex-
hausted. and then the plant "hangs
fire"-makes no growth. remains small,
spindling. and sickly-until such time
as the weather warns up and soil
plant food begins TO become available.
Available plant food, especially avail
able phosphoric acid and ammonia,
when applied in fertilizer have won
derful effect in saving time-in getting
growth started early In the season.
Later on In the summer poorly fer
tilized corn once again hangs fire."
IL waits, and waits. and Is eternally
slow in ripenlng its seed. Too often
such a crop is caught, still immature,
by the first killing frosts of the season.
A high available phosphoric acid fer

a tremendous aid In ripening up the
corn quickly and surely.

THE WORLD SHORTAGE
of LIVE STOCK

A census of cattle In France
reveals a decrease Of II per
cent In beef animals. 3S per cent
In sheep and 40 per cent In hogs
since December 81, 1913. Italy
has suffered a loss OF n per
cent Of horses. Is per cent for
mules. and 8 per cent for swine.
No one can even guess what the
decrease In Germany. Austria,
and Russia has been, but II must
be enormous. According to re-
liable estimate the decrease OF
live stock in all Europe Is equal
TO one-half the amount OF live
stock In America today. This
estimate places the loss at lOO.-
0OO.o00 head.

1t is not easy to tell the kind Of

THE PRESENT FOOD SITUATION

Home Grown Foods

Home Grown Foods
The Food Administration asked
that every dish served in American
hotels, restaurants, clubs and other
public eating places on Christmas
Day be made from homegrown
products. This is a plan that should
be followed as far as possible, not
only in public eating places but in
the home, not only for Christmas
hut for Thanksgiving. and for every
day between. Even though the
heavy demands Of war upon our
transportation have lessened, there
is still need for enormous shipments
of food and other materials, IL we
are to fulfill our obligations to the
world. This is one case where to
be locally minded is to be interna-
tionally minded.
The Price OF Sugar
The household sugar ration and
retail prices in various countries at
the latest date available on Novem-
her 4. 1918, show that the United
States is much better Off than any
other country So far as the amount
available is concerned. and that
only in Germany is the price lower.
Because Germany produces her own
sugar crop, and has made strict reg
ulations as Ia its disbursement and
has been able TO use the residue in
producing fat, she has kept the
price TO 7 or g cents a pound. Her
ration has been "a TO &c pounds.
In Austria-Iungary, with a similar
ration, the price is 81 TO 81 cents.
In Turkey IL is si.77 TO s5.05 a
pound
The retail price in the United
States averages f0.5 cents a pound,
and at present there are three to
four pounds a month available.
England uses two pounds a month
at n cost OF iii cents a pound: Can
ada has two pounds a month at ii.2
cents a pound: France has ii
pounds, and Italy OF pounds
month. at a cost respectively OF 1874
TO 1873 and 1919 to 35.i cents pound.
Norway and Holland have %
pounds costing 1873 and 1919 cents a
pound: Switzerland uses 81 pounds
at a price OF IS cents; Argentina

cents a pound. q

St Winnitred
and the Tree

One story of the origin of the green
tree as the Christmas tree among the
people of northern Europe is given in
a legend of st. Winnifred. II is one
of the many thousands pf those SIM
pie and beautiful beliefsthat have at
tached themselves to the mdwinter
festival and which generally pass now
under the name of christmas myths"
II is related that st. Winnifred, great
Christian missionary. began cutting
down a sacred" oak which had been
the object of worship by the northern
pagans whom he was seeking to lead
Alright. While he was hewing down the
huge tree it was blasted by a sudden
whirlwind. Close beside II was u
young fir tree, which was not harmed
either by the whirlwind or by the fall
of the giant oak. Then st. Winnifred
is reported to have spoken as follows
10 the pagans:
This little tree, young child Of
the forest, shall be your holy tree to-
night. 1t is the wood of peace. for
your homes are built of II. II is the
sign Of an endless life, for Its leaves
are always green. See how It points
toward heaven! Let this be called the
tree of the Christ Child. Gather about
It; not In the wild woods. but in your
homes; there II will shelter no deeds
of blood. but loving gifts and acts Of
kindness"
The fir tree, the common evergreen
Of the northern regions. became the
holy tree Of the converted pagans. and
In its honor or In memory Of the
thoughts II stood for they decorated It
with lights and gifts at Christmas.

REINDEER OF THE FAR NORTH
Herd of Animals Imported Several
Years Ago From Labrador Have
Greatly Increase in Numbers.

Though perhaps most of US, young
and old, associate reindeer chiefly with
SanEa's jinglinS bells, still there are,
besides the dear, familiar phantom
reindeer, the very real reindeer who
are serving very real and much'
needed mission among the people of
the far North. among whom DR.. Will
fred 7. Grenfell works and lives his
life of brotherly aid and uplift, Mary
NJ. Davis writes in Our Dumb Animals.
About six years ago Doctor Grenfell
imported from Labrador herd of rein
deer, number about 400, which during
their six years in Newfoundland have
increased to somewhere between 700
and 1000. The idea of bringing them
from their native Lapland was sug-
geSted to Doctor Grenfell by the great
abundance of reindeer moss in New
fOundalnd. The reasons for the ex-
pertinent are many and far reaching.
The reindeer are valuable, not only
for their rich and delicious milk
which would be boon indeed to the
dwellers of that northern part of New
fOundland in which Doctor Grenfell
w0rks-but also are invaluable as
beasts of burden. In every way they
are as well adapted to the require
ments of the North as are the Komatlk
dogs, which in many ways are an alb
sOlute menace to the development Of
the country.
