Where they come from and whither they go no one knows, and though many dis tfnguished naturalists have attempted tn solve the problem, it is still as strange a mystery as it was the first time a European traveller beheld the sight.

New Words and How They

But, some how, 1t seems to express it's own meane ing-aif those devices which were used to- hide. gun positions, etc., from the spyhawks in the air. The word com mandeer" was the chief gift of the Boer war and is now most firmly es- tablished in everyday talk. The trou- bles Of the "distressful counthry'' gave US. the word boycott. It happened that the. surname Boycott belonged to an Irish land owner whom the authori! ties assisted to reap. harvest that the peasants refused to touch by send ing soldiers on his land. He was the first man to be "boycotted," that is. ''sent to Coventry" by his neighbors. ostracised, put off the map. Mackin- tosh. Shrapnel, Macadam.

STOP SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS
Wardens Wage Constant War on un-
 Princfpied Siayersz of Feathered z Friends of the Farmer. = ss

E E+s v FEkl
 The guardian Of the birds on pro tected lands is an important part of the work of the federal and Audubon authorities. Although state and na- tional laws, have been passed making it wrong to kill the birds for their plumage, plume hunters are constantly raiding the nests of the waterfowl and killing them for the sake of the prices the wings will bring. Thus constant watch is necessary. Patrol boats are constantly lowering along the shores of the reservations, and more than one pitched battle has been foughttt to save the egret or gulls from slaughter. In Florida, one of the best game wardens of the Aubudon society was killed by bird butchers. f
 If those who call the robin the thief of their fruit, and hate him for his early morning raids OH their berries, would realize that the little fruit spoiled is light dessert for the huge quantity of insects killed before the fruit wassgtouched, then their feelings would be more kindly. Cutworms and cranefiies, which do great harm to grain crops, are fayorite foods for robins. while leaf-beetles, vine-worms. etc.. are eaten in great numbers.-Exchange

The Norwegians are the most expert whalers today, and the most success full whaling ground just now is the South Atlantic. in the neighbOrhOod of South Georgia, the South Shetlands, and the South Orkneys. The use of steam whalers has produced an enor- nous increase, for whereas in 1906 only 1S3 whales were caught in the Antarctic islands. last year 7,516 were caught the total value of the prod ucts being $756O,OO0. No fewer than 26S.O00 barrels of oli, valued at $5.- 15O,OOO, were got from the whales ; the bone brought $S.75O and the guano, $12,005. In addition there were 2,491 sea elephants and 75 sea leopards killed, valued at S13O,OOO.

MEAT SCRAP FOR * ~--- ,... !, HENS :

Hens cannot produce eggs protitably on grain alone. The grain ration must be supplemented by protein concen- trateS. Recent investigations show that the source of protein also infiu- ences egg production. That is pro- tein concentrates of animal and yege- table origin differ in ability to stimu- fate laying. A series of tests have been conducted at the Missouri station to determine the relative efficiency of animal proteins, represented in expert ments with meat scrap and sour milk, and vegetable proteins,s represented by oilmeal, gluten meal and cOttOnseed meal, in rationS for egg production. Feeding tests have shown that:
 l. Meat scrap and sour milk are the most economical sources of pro- tein for laying hens. .-s-s
 2. It is poor economy not to furnish the laying hen a protein concentrate of animal origin. sT
 3. Vegetable proteins alone cannot be fed economically. l.
 4. Twenty-Five per, cent meat scrap is sufficient amount of animal food in dry mash. E"
 5. There is no evidence that vege- table proteins. alone or in combina- tions with animal food. increase egg production. ''@+> > ''f $f'
 : 6. One pound of egg can be pro duced with every four pounds, of feed if the proper ration is fed: >ss4 =.

Conquest of Typhoid Is Compared by Physicians
 With Tetanus Victory

Wonderful achievement in medicine
 comparable with the victory over te-
 tanus is the conquest of typhoid fever.
 Typhoid fever has been one of the his- toric peStilences of armies. The dis cOvery in 1880 of the germ which eaus-
 ed it was one of the very earliest
 achievements of the, bacteriOlOgists. Yet even in 1898, writes Maj. W. w.
 Keen in Yale Review. when published a book on the Surgical Complications and SequeIs of Typhoid Fever" so lit tie was positively known about it that had to assemble proofs that the ty- phoid bacillus could reach the blood stream, that it could cause abscesses in bones and muscles, could cause gang
 rene of the tissues and even of whole limbs, infections of the gall bladder,
 and many other surgical disorders. Tn that same year in the war with Spain we learned q fearful lesson of what it could do. Every fifth man in our army of 1O7 900 was attacked with typhoid. It caused over S6 per, cent of all the deaths in that war. Had the same ratio held in the British army of over 5.O0O.0O0 in the world war there would Have been more than. ], 1000. 900 cases of typhoid, Instead of that. down to November. 1916. there had heen only 4,571 cases! In our own army on the Mexican border in 1916. among 10000 troops only one man fell III with typhoid. although it was preva- lent in nearby towns. In our pres ent army. from September ?. 1917; to January 25. 1918. with daily average of TAP ,625 men assembled from all over the country, often from places where autumnaE typhoid was taking its am nual toll of lives, only 119 cases of ty- phoid occurred. Had the 1898 rate prevailed there would have been 144, 56S cases. As soon as all these re cruits were protected by vaccination. the case rate fell so rapidly that in the IT weeks from December 7, 1917. to April 5, 191S-a period longer than our war with Spain-there were only ten cases among probably nearly l. 900 900 men. -

Wild Horses a Problem.

France has courteously but firmly refused to consider the stringy meat of the bony Montana wild range horse. Washington dispatches declare that United States Senator T. J. Walsh of Montana. who took the matter up with the French high commission, was. told that France was not in the market for Montana horse meat on any terms.
 Sale of the range horse for food has long been agitated. as he deveurs the range. He is worthless assa a horse and to round him up, slay and bury him would cost too much money. He is too numerous to kill and let lie. since he might start plague. Va rfous projects to can him have been gently seorned by American meat packers, and the: solution of the prob lem, it would seem, is not yet. .a.

First Written AImanacs
 Compiled by the Greeks

The first written almanacs were probably compiled by the Greeks of AL exandria between 100 and 15O A. D. Calendars are much older, the ancient Romans having proclaimed the firsr of the month, and posted a notice of its occurrence in public place. The first of the month thus came to De called the kalends from ''I call" or "I proclaim" And thus the word calen- dar was derived. Probably the old est calendar in existence was found in the ruins of Pompeii. It was cut upon square block of marble, upon each side of which three months are regrs- tered. The first almanac printed fa Europe covered the years 1475, 1494 anu 1513, and was published at Buda, Hun. gary.
