WHY DESTROY YOUR FRIENDs7
Agricuiturists Make Tremendous Mis-.
take When They Wage War on
Certain Types Of Birds.

In the suburbs of one Of our cities
recently man was arrested for shoot
ing S; robins and two cedar wax
wings. When we consider that each
year the people of the United States
pay a toll of one billion dollars to in
sects. the reason for protecting our
native birds is apparent.
Some birds feed almost entirely O.
the seeds Of weeds. others on field
mice and others on small rodents.
Hawks and owls are considered out
laws, and the average citizen wants
to shoot them If he can. II has been
estimated that each hawk or owl kills
on an average a thousand mice q year.
A recent examination Of the stom-
ach Of a cedar wax wing CHERRY birdD
revealed 100 canker worms In the

continued wanton destruction Of ma

SELECT PIGS FOR BREEDING

Kept Growing Nicely to Develop
Bone and Muscle,

Pigs selected for breeding purposes
should be kept growing nicely. but they
must not be pushed. for the whole OBJ
iect Of their feeding Is to make them
stretch out and develop bone and
muscle in place Of fat. They should
be continued on q growing ration. A
little skim milk and shorts make q
good ration. A small amount q
ground oats and cracked corn win help
develop and insure normal growth. But
corn should be used sparineiy as It h

tractors. Last fall, when the first
ground was broken, there were fifty
monster machines at work tearing up
the prairie sod. This spring others
were at work. They plowed on the
average one acre a minute for the
working time. A record was made
on enc day of 1.SSO acres turned and
broken. All the seeding. harvesting.
etc, was also done by tractors. and
then, of course. there are the thrash
ing machines. Hence the absolute
uselessness Of horses about this place.
One of the first problems Mr.. Camp
bell had to solve was the number Of
various kinds of machines that would
be required to do the work on the en-
tire farm. He solved this by dividing
the farm into units Of 5000 acres and
then allowing a certain period for
each operatiOn-such as blowing. har-
rowing. seeding. cutting. thrashing-on
each unit.
The 5.O00acre unit also has another

and modernly- equipped buildings. It

Lead Thou me on.
Brother Knights, if we could have
looked into the soul of our departed
Frater Joseph A. Littlejohn before he
went away, we would have heard this
beautiful refrain vibrating in his
heart, as he turned his face to the
West and started on his journey
home.
"Wethat are left behind, can place
no greater enconium on his brow,
than the fact that he died like he ilv-
Cd trusting completely in Jesus He
went into the spirit world without
any ennity or III will against a soul
on earth, that he would not have
gladly reconciled if he had known it.,
for il was impossible to know Joe
Ijttiejohn and not love him.
Our Brother was Past Command
err of Cyrene Commandery and while
we will miss his companionship, the
IMPRINT he has left on our lives will
remain with us, until we meet him
over there.
"To bis loved ones, we extend our
sympathy in this hour Of their great
sorrow. to his friends we command
his life, to the members Of Cyrene
Commandery, we join with you in
thanking God for the sweet associa-
ton with this good man.
