CROW IS ENEMY OF FARMER
Under Modern Conditions There Seems
Little Reason for the Birds Con-
tinued Existence.

The record of the crow is like It's
coat-about as black as black can be-
a writer in Detroit Free Press says.
It may be that in the great plan of
nature, some time in the past, the
crow served useful purpose-like-
wise the hawk and the buzzard. Take
the buZzard, for example. Once pro-
tected by human laws everywhere be-
cause useful for removing carrion,
the stencil of which offended the nos
trils of all animal life, it is now out
laWed, because man realizes that it is
better to burn or bury the dead-leay-
ing no excuse for the existence of the
disease-carrying buzzard SO, in the
beginning, the mission of the crow, we
may conjecture, was to preserve some
equilibrium. some balance in the econ
omy Of nature. 1t may be he was
placed here to hold in check the weed
seed and grain eating birds, because
weeds were a factor in the past in
covering the waste places of the earth
and making them fertile However
that may have been, there seems to be
no excuse for his existence now since
man.. the agriculturist, seeds the
waste places to useful grains and
grasses and needs the help of the in
sectiverous birds.

years after the war. The last Ameri-
can president to be honored in this
way by any large number of persons
was Grover Cleveland. The American
army today is damned with Grover
Clevelands, as boys born during the
great democratic administration are
just now of the finest fighting age. The
slump began during McKinley's term
and has continued ever since.
There are comparatively few Will
liam McKinleys, and even Theodore
Roosevelt, with all his immense popu-
larity, gained but few namesakes. Pres
ident Taft had only a small number of
babies named after him. In time OF
war, such as has existed for the last
two years, it would be imagined that
the custom would revive, but there has
been only q slight increase.
Out of $4,000 births recorded in
Philadelphia in 1918 there were only 81
Woodrow Wilson's and only Z John
Pershings, according to the records of
the bureau of vital statistics.

R0UsEs HENS FROM iNacTl0n
Theory as TO Benefit of Use of Arti-
fetal illumination Would Seem
to BE Plausible.

How can artificial illumination have
any effect on egg production. is the
question being asked by some skep-
teal poultrymen who have never made
any tests.
The answer is, according to the
workers in poultry husbandry at the
New York state college Of agriculture,
that the light appears to equalize the
time between meals and to shorten the
period of Inactivity of the fowls dur
ing the long nights.
The long nights of the late fall and
winter months apparently cause the
fowls to use larger proportion Of
the night feed for bodily needs than
would be the case under normal con-
ditions in the springtime, when the
equal length.
At the time of the year when fowls
lay the most eggs in New York state
the months Of April, May and June
the days and the nights are appro1i-
mately of equal length. Under these
conditions. fowls appear to assimilate
their feed, secure the proper amount
of exercise, and form their eggs to best
advantage.
The latter part of December there
are about fifteen hours of darkness and
nine hours Of daylight, whereas in the
latter part Of June the reverse is true
there are approximately fifteen hours
of daylight and nine hours of darkness.
In other words, illumination at
tempts to initiate spring conditions so
far as the hours of activity and the
regulation of feed supply are con-
cerned.

Will Not Read Bible in Schools.

The Atlanta board of education at a
recent regular meeting reversed its ac-
ton which ordered the reading of the
Bible and repeating the Lords prayer
in the public schools of the, city This
action was taken by the board after
having heard read the address of the
late Senator Joseph E. Brown. war
governor Of Georgia and the first
president of the Atlanta board of edu-
cation. which was delivered in 1873,
and in which the Georgia senator de-
livered an argument against enforcing
the use of the Bible in the schools.

Birds Steal Rides.

Birds are fast taking the place of
hoboes on the brakebeams of trains,
according to John E. Sexton, presi-
dent of the Euresa-Nevada Railroad
company of Palisade, New.
Sexton says birds. especially spar
rows and linnets, are extremely lazy
this year, and instead of flying from
the East to the West are riding the
brakebeams.
Citing an instance, Sexton said that
about 300 birds riding on a Southern
Pacific train passing through Nevada
from the east recently flew from their
perches between the coaches when
the train passed over a rough crossing

INVENTION GOT GOOD TRYOUT
Explicit of an Elderly French Aviator,
With Particular Hobby, Has Be-
come Legendary.

Another French officer, recently pro-
NOTED to very high position in avia-
ton, is a genuine character, numero,
as they say here. He recently spent
many hours in perfecting a trick opti-
cal sight, guaranteed to down Boche
at any range, angle or speed. He
adored his invention, which, he admit
ted, would probably end the war when
fully perfected, and grew quite testy
when his friends told him the thing
was far too complicated for anything
but laboratory use.
A last, though he had reached a non
flying rank and had not flown for
months, he installed the optical wonder
on a single-seater and went out over
the lines to try it out. As luck would
have it he fell in with patrol Of eight
Albatrosses and the fight that followed
has become legendary. Boche after
Boche dove on him, Kidding his plane
with bullets, while the inventor, in a
scientific ecstasy. peered this way and
that through his sight, adjusting set
screws and making hasty mental notes.
By a miracle he was not brought down,
and in the end a French patrol came
to his rescue. He had not fired shot,
At lunch the other day someone ask
ed what sort of chap this inventor
was. and the answer was SO exceed
ingly French that 7 will reproduce it
word for word: ''He detests women
and dogs; he has wife he adores and
dog he can't let out of his sight" A
priceless Characterization, I think. of
testy yet amiable old martinez
