Swallows Fight for Farmers
They Are the Light Cavalry Of the Bird Amy

1.-THE army of the birds" is a familiar phrase, yet the picture it paints
In most r'inds is, perhaps, a n army o the march rather than IN army in
combat; the birds in annual migration from zone to 10 rather than the
birds on daily duty from field % field. The latter. an nor accurate idea
comes only when special branches of the service are pointed out-when, for
instance, a bird experts says, 1.-THE swallows are the light cavalry of the army
o. birds ever o. the move, always o. the skirmish line. foragng the fields
o air. constantly o n the alert to cut off stragglers from insect camps and
missing n opportunity to destroy these enemies of the farmer"
The phrases quoted re used in the opening paragraph of a bulletin
issued by the United States department of agriculture. ]. is entitled, "Food
Habits of the Swallows, a Family of Valuable Native Birds" 1t is the last
work done by n If thu greatest economic ornithologists the world has pro-
duced, Prof F. E. L. Beal for % years a assistant in the bureau of biological
survey and whose death occurred October l., 1916.
The bulletin deals with the seven species of swallow that are of wide
distribution in the United States, the Purple Martin, the Cliff swallow, the
Barn swallow, the Tree swallow, the voletGreen swallow, the Bank swallow
and the Rough-Winged swallow. The food habits of all the species ire of
course, similar, but they vary in certain more II less important details. 1t
Is shown, for instance, that while the other six species eat practically no
vegetable food except UGH IS is incidentally taken with insect food the Tree
swallow occasionally makes a full meal of berries IT seeds. 1t is definitely
shown, however, that no swallow consumes any vegetable food that is of use
to man, only worthless forms of wild berries and seeds being taken. And
even this forns such a small part of the total diet a to be negligible. Ex
cept fr the Tree swallow, the vegetable element will not average onehalf
of 1 per cent of the total diet.
With few exceptions, the insects eaten by swallows are injurious. Since
swallows take their food O the wing it follows that they must feed upon
flying insects, and, or the most part predacous beetles and other beneficial
mountaineering forms escape. The biggest single item in the swallow diet
is Dptera, the order of insects to which belong flies, gnats and mosquitoes.
eve species. The next largest item is Hemiptera, the order of insects incud-
ing the chinch bug, plant lice and the like It is shown that, of the beetles
eaten, a large part is made up of weevik, including the cotton boil weevf,
the clover weevi, the strawberry weeyil, the alfalfa weevn, which is a re-
Gently imported pest and other highly destructive weeyns.
On the whole, the swallows are shown to be a highly beneficial bird
family and deserving If all the encouragement I'M protection that a be
given.

Importance of a Tan Coat
Depends on How Acquired

Tan is the result of the action of
chemical rays or of the ultraviolet
rays of the solar light on the pigment
of the skin. 1t proves nothing, says
an authority, but that the skin has
been exposed to Photographic rays of
one kind or another. The skin is also
tanned by exposure to the rays of q
mercury lamp, but such tan has moth
ing to do with health.
Tan is important and of meaning
according to the circumstances under
which it is acquired. Acquired at sea
or by the sea as a result of life and
exercise in the open air, it is a sign of
health, because it accompanies general
effects which are lacking in the condi-
tons of electric tan.
Electric tan is accompanied by no
multiplication of red ~corpuscles in the
blood, such as exercise produces, in
surfing a renewal of physical strength.

POULTRY DON'TS

Don't allow your hens to eat de-
cayed flesh of any kind unless you
want them to get down with timber
neck and have many of them die from
the effect of it.
Don't allow filth and dampness to
abound in and around your poultry
roosting house; it will cause roup and
its various attending ills.
Don't let the mites and lice get the
upper hand about your place and
cause you untold trouble and loss of
both old and young stock.
Don't be afraid to give your fowls
an abundance of green stuff at all
walton, whether they are old or young.
Don't be afraid to invest a few dol
lars in good stock any mor than you
would in improved seeds and grain to
insure success.
Don't keep any males with the fe-
eggs. Eggs for market will keep
much longer if they are not fertile.
Don't put all sizes, shapes and
colors of eggs in one lot for market =;
learn to grade them so they will look
as much like one hen laid them all as
possible.
Don't allow a dirty, stale egg to go
into your market basket, no matter
how high they are or how badly you
need the money.
Don't be afraid to work with your
poultry the year round, as it is the
only road to success, and one must
stick to the right track. Keep up in
terest in your poultry both winter and
summer. No matter what other duties
you have, they should not be neg,
lected.
Don't expect every egg to hatch
when you buy eggs for that purpose
from some good breeder. Your own
eggs as a rule will not do that well.

Ants in the Kitchen. .

In regard to the question as to how
to get rid of small ants in a kitchen,
the Indiana state entomologist says:
"One of the best remedies is to make
a strip of four ounces of sugar to one
half pint of water, and after this strip
has boiled add n ounce of sodium
fiuoride. Moisten a sponge with this
and put it in a can that has some
holes punched in it; then place this
where the ants are most numerous.
The idea is to get the ants feeding on
this and in that way carry some back
to their nest. If they stop feeding,
move the can back a short distance
and they will again start eating. The
can should be kept moist with this
strip and the ants will soon disap-
pear"

has also built up a number of business
interests which are paying him good
dividends, and this is probably the
real reason why he intends to retire
from the game.
Coombs makes his home at Pales-

merchandise store in addition to being
interested in two banks. His business
has been growing with the boom times
