FROGS AND WHAT THEY EAT
croakers Thrive on Almost Any Form
of Animal Life Small Enough to
Be Seized and Swallowed.

The food of the frog consists of
earthworms, insects, spiders and any
form of animal life small enough to
be seized and swallowed. Large frogs
will often devour their smaller rela-
tives. The big bullfrog is an especial
ly dangerous enemy to other members
of its kind. 1t has been known even
to eat small birds. Some frogs are
fond of snails and. will swallow them
shells and all, says Boys Life.
1t is interesting to note that frogs
can eat bees and wasps notwithstand-
ing the sting. In seizing food it usu-
ally makes use of it's curious extern
sile tongue, which can be thrust out
of the mouth with surprising rapidity.
The tongue is attached to the front Of
the jaw, its forked rear end free so
that 1t can be tipped out of the mouth.
1t is supplied with a sticky secretion
that picks up the food. The frog can
not see an object near to itself. Any
dangling bait should, therefore, be at
a distance of from two to three feet.
Frogs may be caught by dangling
small bits of red yarn before them on
hook and sometimes even without a
! hook. When the yarn is seized the ami
NAL may be jerked out of the water.
Bullfrogs kept in captivity readily at
tempt to swallow ones fingers.

Find Relics of Saxon Kings.

Capt. Vaughan Williams of Old
Windsor has discovered what he be-
lieves to be the site of the palace of
the Saxon kings and the pre-conquest
town of Windsor. 1t is believed that
there once stood at Old Windsor the
palace of Edward the Confessor, but
although several Saxon urns have been
eXcavated here from time to time Sne
actual position of the palace has never
been decided.
Tighe and Davis il $heir "Annals of
Windsor" say that Old Windsor was
probably selected by the Saxon kings
as q residence for the same reason as
it was subsequently repurchased by
William the Conqueror, on account of
its convenience for hunting in the for.
est. The lands of Windsor, granted by
Edward the Confessor and exchanged
| by the abbot of Westminster with Will
liam, appear to have had reference to
Old Windsor and did not include the
site of the present town or castle. Kins
William held Old Windsor as his OWL
! demesne.

TIMES AND PLACE FOR SLEEP
Churches and Street Cars Are Favored
But the Cozy Bed Affords
Most Delightful Pastime.

There are lots of people who say
they don't sleep well at night. But
there are many who regularly go to
sleep in the street car. OF course,
those who go to sleep in church are
not counted. That might be construed
as libel, observes the Milwaukee News.
But why do perfectly healthy folks
want to sleep in street cars? Is it a
protest against the wistful-eyed strap
hanger who gazes at their large and
apathetic laps? Is it mere whim, de-
string to shut out the events of the
day and snatch a quiet moment of
dreaming as a respite?
1t is often mere pie, just a rampant
Indigestion. 1t is also the bad air due
to offices that devitalize the worker
compelled to breathe it eight hours.
1t is also due to the terrible habit of
shutting all available car windows in
dread of that fresh air which is the
best friend workingman has.
Going to sleep is a delightful pas
time-at night, in bed with the proper
accompaniment of pillows and para
phernalia. 1t is exotic in the daytime
save as a mere relaxation for a few
minutes after luncheon, which is 6
good habit, and seldom, therefore, fol
lowed.

right slant of the V had been extended
little and curled into a 6, so that in
time the brand would stand casual in
spection as a Y6 monogram-Ward's
own brand. The work was crude, pur-
posefully crude. The V had not been
returned enough to make it look fresh.
and the newly scared 6 had been add
ed with a malevolent pressure that
would make it stand out fresh brand
for long time in case of a delay in
the proceedings, as Ward knew per-
fectly well.
So he sat there and looked over the
fence and saw himself a convicted
''rustler." There was the evidence all
ready to damn him utterly before a
jury. They would be turned loose on
the range near his claim, and they
would be found before the scabs had
haired over. 1t was a good time for
rustling. Roundups were over for the
winter, and the weather would confine
range riding to absolute necessity.
Of course the work was coarse-so
coarse as to reflect against his intelli-

the law is not too careful to give the
prisoner credit for brains.
Ward stared at the altered brands
and wondered what he had best do.
He. bethought him that perhaps II
would be as well to put a little scenery
between himself and that particular
locality, and he started back up the
Hill. Once he pulled up as if he would

at all. He had thought of that befor,
and decided against it. That woult

would probably not benefit him in tn
long run. They would work the brand

enough!" Ward had his back to high
ledge at that moment, so that he did
not experience any impulse to look be-
hind him.
Buck don't want to drag me up be-
fore a jury he reasoned further. He'd
a heap rather pack me in all wrapped
up in tarp and say how he'd caught
me with the goods and l resisted ar

The assurance he felt as to what
Buck Olney would do did not particu-
larly frighten Ward even if he did neg
lect to go to bed in his cabin during the
next few days. That was common
sense born of his knowledge Of the
man he was dealing with. He went to
the cabin warily, just often enough to
give it an air of occupancy. He fire.
quently sat upon some hilltop and
watched lazy thread of smoke weave
upward from his rusty stovepipe, but
he slept out under the stars rolled in
his heavy blanket and he never cross
ed ridge if he could make his way
through a hollow. 1t is not always
cowardice which makes a man ex-
| tremely careful not to fall into the
hands of his enemy. There is a small
matter of pride involved. Ward would
have died almost any death rather
than give Buck Oney the satisfaction
of getting him. For a few days he
was cautious as an Indian on the war
trail, and then his patience frazzled
out under the strain.
At sunrise one morning, after night
of shivering in his blanket, he hunched
| his shoulders in disgust of his caution.
If Buck Olney wanted anything OF
him he was certainly taking his time
about coming after it. Ward rubbed
his fingers over his stubbly jaw, and
the uncomfortable prickling was the
last small detail of discomfort that de.
cided him. He was going to have a
shave and decent cup of coffee and
eat off his own table or know the rea.

ANIMAL-PROoF SHEEP FENCE
Department of Agriculture Gives Plan
for Barrier to Keep Out Dogs
and Coyotes.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
A fence constructed in such a way as
to bar dogs and coyotes from territory
in which sheep are pasturing has been
designed and put to use by the forest
service of the United States department
of agriculture. Specifications for the
dog-proof fence follow:
Posts 711a feet in length, set 211z feet
in the ground and 16 feet apart; a
barbed wire stretched flat to the surf
ace Of the ground; inches higher a
16-inch woven-wire fence having a 4
inch triangular mesh; 5 inches higher
barbed wire; 6 inches higher sec
ond barbed wire; inches above this
a third barbed wire. Total height, 81
inches.
1t is essential that the bottom barbed
wire be stretched fiat on the surface of
the ground at all points. This is ac-
complished by grading the ground be-
fore the fence is built and by filling in
/. the small holes afterwards.

LOCAL LIME SUPPLY USEFUL
Necessary Food Furnished for Plants
and Is Great Aid in Speeding
UP Many Crops.
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
While lime is not usually listed
among the commercial fertilizers, it
furnishes necessary food for plants
and when properly used is a great
aid in speeding up the production of
many crops. Its greatest value is for
correcting acidity of the soil under
which condition many plants will not
thrive. 1t also improves the soils
physical condition and influences fa-
vorably the decomposition of organic
matter. In some cases it may make
available to some extent soluble forms
| of potash and other minerals. 1t is
particularly valuable if there is a good
supply of organic matter in the soil.
Spring is good time to apply lime,
particularly the hydrated form and
specialists Of the department of agri-
culture are urging that local limestone
deposits be utilized in every possible
way. This is already being done in
many places but no doubt the practice
could be widely extended. However,
it involves, in the case of grinding, the
purchase and delivery of grinding ma
chinery, which may be difficult to ac-
complish, and in the case of local
burning it means the purchase and de-
livery of fuel unless there is local fuel
available. Wherever fuel, either wood
or coal, is available, however, togeth-
er with local supply of limestone
every effort should be put forth to
make use of this limestone in the pres.
ent emergency.

HELP PRODUCE FOOD
TO FEED SOLDIERS
Town Man Qualified for Farm
Work Should Offer Services.
Many Communities Throughout United
States Must Depend on Volun-
teers for Heavy Seasonal
Needs-It Is War Job.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
If you are town man qualified for
farm work in your county during the
rush periods Of planting, cultivation
and harvest, and if you hesitate to
offer for such service because it will
be inconvenient and difficult and be-
cause you will earn less money for
that short period of farm work than
you would have earned in town dur
ing the same time-if this is the case
you have failed to grasp either the
seriousness Of the present peril to
civilization or the Importance of the
personal responsibility resting upon
you, and every individual.
If you are a farmer in need of ex
ira help, without which your food pro-
duction will be diminished, and if you
are reluctant to use emergency town
volunteers you also have not seen the
peril-have not heard the call that
has inspired other men to give their
lives.
The higher wage inducements of city
Industries and plants producing war
materials have drawn many workers
from the farms during the last year
or two. AS a consequence most COM
munities all over the United States
must depend upon local emergency
supplies of farm labor for their heavy
seasonal needs. Plans have already
been put into effect in a great many
sections whereby sufficient town vol
| unteers have been secured to supply
the need of the adjacent farm terri,
tory during the busy periods.
OF course this is hard work. OF
course, in most cases, it means some
financial sacrifice upon the part of the
town man, and some annoyance to the
farmer who would prefer permanent
skilled help. But you are called tC
that service! It is just a situation
that must be met Suppose soldiers
hesitated to do things that are hare
and difficult and annoying! Suppose
men wouldn't go into the army unless
they profited financially If Ameri
can men had taken that attitude Ger
many would already have crushed the
defenders of civilization, and yoI
would now be concerned about tht
safety of your wife and children-no
your convenience and your money
The last two would certainly be taker
from you with Hun victory-and thu
Hun will win if soldiers ever hesitate
as some civilians have hesitated to d.
the difficult, the unpleasant, the fnan
cially Improbable thing!
1t is your war job to work on farm
In your county, when and where you
services are needed to produce ant
harvest food crops, war-winning crops
It is the farmers war job to use sucl
help to the utmost advantage. Gu
soldiers are gloriously doing their wa
job over there. The most you cal
do is infinitely small, by comparison
with what they do. Do farms in you
county need help? Then think of tn
boys from your town, going over tn
top under shell fire today-and go t
work to help feed them!

SAW POINT OF RESEMBLANCE
Youngsters Comment, However, Could
Hardly Be Called compli-
mentary One.


A fond auntie was left to amuse her
small niece and nephew while their
mother went shopping. James became
deeply interested in his toy engine and
tiny Ruth was absorbed in watching
auntie cut out beautiful paper dolls.
One of these appealed to her particu-
larly and she would scarcely wait for
auntie to finish.
"Oh, auntie, isn't she pretty? She's
blue"
''Yes, she is lovely. And see what
a faicy dress she has on. Look at her
long train
The last word caught serious-mind-
ed James attention.
''Auntie, show me the train"
Auntie pointed to the deep flounce
which was set on with large plaits and
which was long enough at the back for
quite sweep. James took it in his
hands and examined it closely and 81
lently for a few moments. Handing
! it back, he said solemnly:

Hunger Tower.

Food Controller Hoover said at
meatless dinner in Washington:
1.-THE German food situation forced
on the great German offensive. The
hungry German populace was sick of
the war and starvation The kaiser
had to attack or knuckle under.
'I heard story the other day from
Germany.
"A cadaverous tourist was visiting
an ancient schloss or castle. After
wandering among the moats and dom
joins and portcullises awhile, he said
to the cadaverous keeper:
"'My guidebook informs me that
there's an ancient hunger tower here
"a tower where they used to starve
their prisoners to DEATH
eyes, sir; that's right, sir said the
keeper. This way for the hunger
tower and you'll be just in time for
luncheon. You see, sir, it's been made

BANKS HELP BUY TRACTORS
Be Treated Same as Other
Agricultural Paper.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Federal reserve banks are to re-
discount notes secured by farm trac-
tors. Instructions have been issued
by the federal reserve board to all
federal reserve banks authorizing
them to rediscount tractor paper pre-
sented by any member bank, provid-
ed it has maturity not exceeding six
months and the tractors are pur-
chased for agricultural purposes.
This action of the federal reserve
board means that notes given for farm
tractors will be treated in the same
manner as other agricultural paper,
thus making it easier for farmers to
obtain tractors where needed.
