The City Point correspondent of
to saw on the crow question:
Crows are more tame and trouble
some this year than ever before.
Very early in the sprirg they began
to get familiar, and We saw them
many times in the trees surrounding
the houses, and were awakened in
the early morning by their unmusical
conversation. We have a friend up
in the White Mountains who has
made a study of crow language, and
spends a lot of time in the early
springtime trying to find out what
the crows are talking about. He
wrote a magazine article on the sub
ject and got it published. l wish
that man and his publishrs had
worked as hard as we did lately to
plant a lot of sweet corn, and then
had gone out as we did the other day
and found two thirds of those beauti
full green shoots of sweet corn laid
low and perishing with the kernel of
corn eaten off the roots. In my opin-
ion it wouldn't have taken any study
to have found out wha. those men
were talking about at that moment,
and we doubt if any first class maya
zine would have cared TO published
the article. Yet they tell us that
crows are scavengers and as such
ought to be protected, In our corn
fields is every device to scare the
crows even to an artistic auburn
haired scarecrow. Irvine was strung
and white rags waved in the breeze
all along the line. Tin cans and
pals were stuck around on poles.
We had been told that tin would scare
the crows, and confidingly left
paper bag of speed corn with some
other things in an old tin boiler on
the ground. Next morning the paper
bag was torn open and not vestige
of the corn remained. IN our opinion
any protection given to such pests as
these is a mistake, and any talk of 1t
is worthy to be listed In the same
category with what the crows are
talking about. The only thing Sooo
enough for q crow - . shot gun.

Uncle Sam.
Orchard A. Purdy of The Visilautesl.
He's giant. rich and lazy,
With a vision often hazy
And an indolent contentment
In his undeveloped plan;
Yet his cradle as Nation
Was the greatest Declaration
independence has recorded
In the history Of man.
1t would be thousand pities
If, amid his teeming cities
Fed by wheatfelds, mine and forest
He forgot his noble birth;
But he heard the guns that numbered
In defense of neutrals plundered-
THE integrity of treaties
Shall not perish from the earth.
Then the giants eyes grew clearer,
For his liberty was dearer
Than the wealth and ease around him
And he shook his mighty frame.
Long he stood there-lost in thinking
When the Lusitania sinking,
Brought his muscles to a tension
While his head was bowed in shame.
Then. from coast to coast he beckoned,
And from Gulf to Lakes he reckoned
On his wealth in men and money,
And he summoned of his best.
He is gathering his forces,
From a hundred thousand sources;
They are rising like a whirlwind
For their giant of the West.
They are under martial orders
And they go to far-off borders,
Where democracy is threatened
BY the Huns of modern war
Therell be ships enough to take them,
Therell be men enough to make them
And an aircraft flight of eagles
That was never seen before!
For he counts his men in millions
And his money-might in billions,
And he'll hurl them at the Germans
In the trenches. sea and air.
If the Hun is yet defiant,
Let him rouse a sleeping giant
And destroy another treaty
In the future-if he dare.

Feeds Are Costly and Scarce, So
Don't Waste Them on Un-
profitable Animals.
DISCARD ALL THE BOARDERs
Make Every Pound of Grain Produce
Maximum Amount Of MiIk-Inten-
sive Use Of Scales and Bab-
cock Test Favored.

A nre VIII not burn without fuel, an
engine refuses TO run without oil, and
dynamo balks sans power. The
farmer who tried to winter his horse
without feed evidently is not convers-
ant with these facts. Hence the horse
died. Similarly the dairyman who
tries TO produce n regular and gener-
Gus flow OF milk from a herd that is
fed on nit it-or-mlss, hand-to-mouth
style of ration, lives to learn. There
are many Improbable dairy cows in
the country tO'iay because farmers are
wasting labo- and feed in attempting
to transform low-producing cows Into
wage-earners or because dairymen are
underfeeding the productive and over
feeding the shirker animals in their
herds.
During the period of the war, with
grains In limited supply and high
priced, the maximum OF care should
be exercised to prevent the waste of
any of these valuable materials. Under
existent conditions all farm roughages
should be utilized to the fullest extent
consistent with economic production.
However, 1t is the height Of folly to
starve the deserving dairy cows in or
der to save grain. Good cows must
be fed and fed well. Every effort
should be exersed to produce as much
milk as possible and still to maintain
the cows In the pink of productive
condition. Feed the profitable cows
to capacity according to their produc-
ton. Gull the lnprofitable cows from
the herd Immediately. The manufac-
ture of beef in the dairy barn does
not pay even in view of the high
prices which fat cows now bring for
butcher disposition.
Know What Each Cow Yields.
Every dairyman should know the
daily production of each COW in his
herd. Such knowledge can be gained
only by the Intensive use of the scales
and the Babcock test. This is the
era of the cow-testing association, rs
such cooperative work Is effective in
the detection OF improbable cows as
well as in properly regulating the
amount Of feed which should be sup
piled to each cow in the herd. The
records OF one oow-testing association
show that during two-year period the
cows which received 1900 pounds of
concentrates yielded an average In
come above the cost of feed of S33 an
animal. while the cows which were
fed between LOO and 1900 pounds of
concentrates yielded an income In ex-
cess of feed COSTS of $40. The animals
which were fed over 1900 pounds of
concentrates earned net of S55 n
head over feed cost. These figures
Illustrate the value of better cows
and better systems Of feeding accord
Ing to production.
The average of the records Of 40
cow-testing associations shows rapid
advance In income over cost of feed
us the quantities Of grain fed In
creased. In this instance the cost of
concentrates FOL the first lot of cows
was 81 apiece, while their income over
cost of feed was So. The concentrates
for the best lot of cows cost S3S, while
their net earning capacity was S11S. In
word. 1t would require n herd of %

Ten thousand dollars to the Red
Cross and 100000 pounds of pork for
our soldiers overseas is what the Red
Cross Pig club in Carroll county, Mis-
sissippi. has contributed to the nation,
according to report received by the
United States department of agricul-
ture from o. F. Turner county agent.
The club has 5000 members, and Will
ship 30 cars of hogs to market. "No
county in Mississippi" says the report,
has ever before seen such an array
of porkers as we now have In Carroll.
The whole county is spotted with hogs
of the finest type. Red Cross pigs are
on every hill and in every hollow.
People who never had any confidence
In such things before are studying
feeds and using tankage and self-feed-
ers. We have pigs that weigh 400
pounds. with litter mates that won't
weigh 100. Some OF our hogs have
gained 11S pounds In one month" /

Ukrainians In Canada.

There are about 10000 Ukrainians
In the Canadian Northwest. They be-
gan to emigrate from their native land
In the '9Os. Most of them were farm
prs, and today they occupy whole
counties in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
They were not illiternte when they
came to America and they have been
busily educating themselves during the
last 20 years.
There Is Ukrainian publishing
house in Winnipeg. This concern does
not merely issue foreign language

For those persons who are fortunate
enough to control land for the growing
of vegetables in sufficient quantity for
the needs of the family, storage will
prove an economy. Likewise, 1t will
often prove an economy to grow late
vegetables to store. Home storage is
of Importance at all times, but espe-
cially so IL the price of suitable con-
tainers for use in canning and drying
Is high.
Reduce Menu Cost.
Crops of suitable sorts that mature
at season when they can be pre-
served by storing should be kept in
their natural condition instead of be-
ing canned or dried. Not only is it
possible to reduce the cost of the
menu materially by growing and stor-
ing vegetables for home use, but the
satisfaction of having n supply of
fresh vegetables near at hand. so that,
regardless of markets and winter tenn
peratures, the list may be varied, Is
something that cannot be measured in
uOllarS ana cents.
A half-acre garden, If cared for
properly, will produce far more vege-
tables than the average family can con-
sumo during the maturing period of
the crops. Only a small portion of
the garden should be devoted to those
vegetables which must be used as soon
as they reach maturity. Beets, late
cabbage. carrots. celery, onions, pars-
nips, potatoes, sweet potatoes, satisfy,
and turnips may be stored in their
natural condition, and should be
grown to the extent of the family
needs for storage for winter use.
Beans of various kinds, including the
Limas, may be stored dry. The sue
cessful storage of vegetables is not at
all difficult; In fact good storage facil-
tiles already exist in most homes, 1t

question of the fact that its bite Is

the ''red rump." Not only does It kill.
