NO ROOM FOR
PESSIMISM
Canada as a Nation Builder.

With Canada's great task in the
war before the public, the burdens
that she so willingly took and so ably
carried, and her recent victory in sub
scribing S175,OOO.OOO to the 9Th Vic
tory Bond Loan more than she asked,
he would be a skeptic who would as
sociate the word pessimism with her
present condition. Canada deplOres
the heavy human loss which she has
suffered, but even those akin to those
lost in battle say with cheerfulneSS
that while the sacrifice was great, the
cause was wonderful, and accept
their sufferings with grace. 1t may
well be said there is no room in Can
ada today for the pessimist. The ag-
ricultural production Of the country
has doubled in four years. $4,000
600 are the railway earnings today
or 81 times what they were ten years
ago, while the bank deposits are now
1,733, 100000 as compared with $133,-
100000 thirty years ago.
There is a wonderful promise for
the future.
It is with buoyancy that Canada
faces an era Of peace. She has tri-
umphed over the soul-testing crisis of
war. Before the war Canada was a
borrower, and expected to continue so
for many years. For the past year and
a half we have seen her finance her
self. She has also been furnishing
credits to other nations.
A recent article in the Boston
Transcript says:
1.-THE people at home have not been
tagging behind the boys at the front in
courage, resourcefulness and efficiency.
The development of Canada's war in
dustry is an industrial romance of
front rank. American Government Of
f1cials can testify to the efficiency of
the manufacturing plant Canada has
built up in four short years. In De
partment after Department where they
found American industry failed them
they were able to turn to Canada. The
full story may be revealed some day.
The same paper says:
at Is a new Canada that energies
from the world war in 191S-a nation
transformed from that which entered
the conflict in 1914.
1.-The war has taken from Canada a
cruel toll. More than $1,000 Of her
bravest sons lie In soldiers graves In
Europe. Three times that number
have been more or less incapacitated
by wounds. The cost OF the war in
money is estimated to be already
S1,100, 900, 600. These are not light
losses for country Of 100000 people.
Fortunately there is also a credit side.
Canada has found herself in this war.
She has discovered not merely the gal
lantry OF her soldiers. but the brains
and capacity and efficiency Of her
whole people In every branch, in
arms, in industry. In finance, she has
had to measure her wits against the
world. and In no case has Canada rea-
son to be other than gratffed. @Ad-

MANY BIRDS ARE
USEFUL ON FARM
What 1t Eats Decides Whether
Feathered Songster Is Bene-
fetal or Injurious.
MANY FRIENDS OF FARMERS
Department of Agriculture Offers to
Tell AgricuIturist Whether inhahi-
tants of Fields Are Doing
More Good Than Harm.

Whether a bird is beneficial or in
furious to growing crops depends al
most entirely upon what it eats. If
it consumes harmful insects the bird
is an ally of the farmer; if it feeds
largely on growing crops it may be
an enemy. Not all birds are bene-
fetal, but the useful kinds far out
number the injurious, and so great is
their value as insect destrOyers in the
United States that to them the United
States department of agriculture gives
credit of being one Of the greatest con-
trolling factors in limiting the devel-
opment of insect pests and in prevent
ing many disastrous outbreaks.
In the case of species which are
abundant or which feed to some extent
on crops, the question of their aver
age diet becomes one of supreme i'm
portance and only by stomach exami-
nations can it be satisfactorily solved.
Field observations have proved to be
incOnclusive. Birds are often accused
of eating this or that product of Gull
tivation, when an examination of the
stomachs shows the accusation to be
false.
Aid Offered to Farmers.
The biological survey of the United
States department of agriculture has
conducted in the past few years a sys-
tematic investigation of the food of
the species most common about farms
and gardens and offers to supply infor-
nation to any farmer in doubt as to
whether his birds are an asset or a
liability.
Within certain limits birds eat the
kind Of food that is most accessible,
especially when their natural food is
scarce OF wanting. Thus they some
times injure the crops of the farmer
who has Internationally destroyed
their natural food in his Improvement
of swamp or pasture. Much Of the
damage done by birds and complained
of by farmers and fruit growers arises
from this very cause. The berry-bear-
ing shrubs and seed-bearing weeds
have been cleared away, and the birds
have no recourse but to attack the cul-
tivated grain or fruit which has re-
placed their natural food supply.
Destroy Many Insects.
The great majority of land birds
subsist upon insects during the period
of nesting and molting, and also feed
their young upon them during the first
| few weeks. Many species live almost
entirely upon insects, taking vegetable
| food only when other subsistence fails.
1t is thus evident that in the course of
a year birds destroy an incalculable
number of insects, and it is difficult to
| overestimate the value of their serv-
ices in restraining the great tide of in
sect life.
In winter, in the northern part of
| the country, insects become scarce or
entirely disappear. Many species OF
! birds, however, remain during the cold
season and are able to maintain life
by eating vegetable food, as the seeds
of weeds. Here again is another use
full function of birds in destroying
these weed seeds and thereby lessen,
ing the growth of the next year.

under expert care, and the best known
of the dua1-purpose breeds are of me-
dunn size and weight, small size and
great activity are commonly supposed
TO be characteristic of the egg type,
large size and an indoIent tempera-
ment are supposed to characterize the
meat type, and medium size without
either marked energy or great indo-
Ience is supposed to be characteristic
of a mediocre dual-purpose type.
These misconceptions arise from a too
literal acceptance of the designation
of a type as the definition of that type.
Not only do breed types tend to
change but ideas of breeders as to the
most desirable type for a breed
change. In fact the breeders are rare
iy in full agreement as to the precise
type which should be preferred, and
consequently nearly every breeder of
superior ability has his ''strain, -
which while conforming to the gen.
eral description of the standard pre-
sents distinctive pecuiiarities in points
where standard cannot be rigid.
Such elasticity in the application of
standards is, in the nature of the case,
inevitable. It is not at variance with
the purpose of standards in stock pro-
ductiop but is in harmony with their
function of securing general progress
toward approved ideals.
Within the range of each breed
type there exist, on a much smaller
scale but still in marked degree, the
same differences which distinguish the
three general types-the egg type,
meat type and dual-purpOse type. OBJ
Eervation of individual differences
along these lines gives insight into the
properties of type which affect produc-
lion.

IMPORTANT KIND OF POULTRY
Common Economic Classification is
Based Upon Adaptation to Certain
Lines of Food.

The first step toward the increase OF
supplies of poultry products through
the use of the type best suited to pro-
duction is TO get a correct understand
ing of type. In fowls. the most impor-
tant kind Of poultry, the common
economic classification is based upon
the adaptation of certain types to GER
tain lines of food production. Three
such distinct types are recognized-the
egg type, the meat type and the dual
purpose type, which is commonly con-
sidered an intermediate of the other
two, though in reality it is the primary
type of which the others are modifca-
tons.
Because the smallest standard
breeds are distinctly OF the egg type

Alfalfa hay is a good horse feed,
common opinion to the contrary not
wfthstanding. The trouble is that usu-
ally too much Of it is fed. It is very
rich and can hardly be considered
roughage. We might almost as well
dump a bushel Of bran into the man
gers as to cram it full OF alfalfa. If
horses have an abundance OF it they
eat too much and often have digestive
disorders as a result. Alfalfa should
be fed very sparfngly to horses.

Bull Associations

The first bull association in the Uni
ted States was organized in 1908 by
the Michigan Agricultural college. It
was q cooperative venture similar to
those which have existed In Europe for
a long time. On July 1, 1917, there
were in this country SO active associa-
tons in II states, with a total men,
bership of LIS, owning 1S9 pure-bred
bulls. These cooperative organiza-
tons enable the owners of small herds
to unite in the purchase OF one good
bull, so that each may own a share in
a registered sire of high quality.
Though still in its infancy, the CO.
operative bull association movement
promises to become eventually a very
great factor in the improvement of
dairy cattle in the United States.
