IN THE SEA.

''In the sea-" said Daddy, "and far
away from here where the tropics are
where all is warm and where the
plants and birds and animals are
very different from here. there are
floating plant creatures known as
Portuguese Men-of-Wnr.
THE reason they've been given this
name is because some one who was
about to name them decided they
looked like old men-Of-war vessels,
and so they were given the name"
you'll describe them, won't you,
Daddy?" asked Nancy.
"Plense do" said Nick.
"Yes," Daddy, continued. "the Portu-
guese Man-of-War is made up of many
little creatures all Joined together.
Just as though many of us were all
fastened together in our villages or In
our country places.
"And some of these creatures are
very different from each other. The

and when 1t is like this 1t is filed by
a kind of gas which enters into it and
which makes 1t look even larger than

"These are the large members of
the colony, and the rest of them, or
rather second kind of members of

of these-many little creatures which
form the largest part of the colony.
MANY of these are small and trum-
pet-shaped, and they are the ones who
do the marketing and get the food for
the rest.
Then there are members of the col
ony who also hang from under the
many members on top, and they are
the fingers or the feelers for the com
munity.
There are some others stTll who
look like punches of grapes, and they
look after the baby creatures who come

from those who have that there Is no
more impressive living thing than an
eagle in the air.
Well. there are not many American
eagles left. Civilization has CROWDED

and give him chance at an eagle ana
30 times out of hundred the or

That's what guns for and that

Naturally. there is protest against

]. II. Davis, secretary of the publicity
committee of the American Museum
of Natural History. New York city.
sends out protest in which he says ::
much has been written in depreca-
tion of the permitted determination of
the wild pigeon. Formerly found In
almost incredible numbers in some
parts of the United States, the species
was utterly wiped out by unrestricted
shooting and the destruction of its
nests. And so rapid was the process
of its extinction that the bird had
vanished before the public realized its
need of protection.
"a similar fate now imminently
threatens the American or bald eagle
our national emblem and one of the
most beautiful and magnificent of our
native birds. And by curious irony.
the destruction Is being accomplished
at public expense, as provided in the
bounty law passed by the territorial
legislature of Alaska on April 30,
1917.
"The bald eagle has never been an
abundant species. Estimates of its
numbers have generally been greatly
exaggerated. 1t is only on the basis
of the occupied nests that its real
numbers-or rather its real scarcity
can be estimated. Computations based
on observations of the birds them
selves are obviously unreliable. For,

1.-The general Indifference TO the fate
of the great bird of splendid tradi-
tion is due. beyond doubt, to the COM
mon lack of information regarding Its
threatened extinction. The situation
calls for the widest publicity. The
sheer vandalism of the destruction of
the bird should be checked. and check
ed at once. The crusade for its pro-
lection should enlist the enthuSiasm
and sincere effort of bird lovers and
bird students throughout the coun-
try, of our scientific and patriotic So
cieties, and of the public press. 1t is
only by the prompt passage of n fed
eral law protecting the American
eagle that our national bird can be
saved from total extinction"
Let me renew the adjuration of
Capt. III. w. Shoemaker of Pennsyl-
vania to do what you can to stop the
slaughter of American eagles along
the Alaska coast, writer says In the
Saturday Evening Post. By reason of
the government bounty offer 800
eagles were killed In eighteen months
This is an absolutely unnecessary
waste of life.
Eagles have killed some Of the
serves on Alaska islands. though they
have never destroyed the wild foxes
of Alaska in all the centuries they
have lived together.
Eagles do kill few salmon and eat
a few that are found dead, but In no
wise do they imperil any salmon fish
cry. They may kill rabbits now and
again. but In no sense have they been
destroyers of wild game. For the
most part they hang along the coast
and live on fish life. A dead whale
lasts them long while.
There Is no reason on earth why
these bald eagles-of that species
which we have been proud to call the
bird of freedom. of that species which
we have put on our coinage and our
seal-should be destroyed under n
bounty offered by any branch of the
American government.
1t was Capt. Shoemaker, by the way.
who so far as I know was the first
man to put into print the belief that
the best protection of game did not
consist In any officious war upon the
enemies of the game on the part of
man himself. Capt. Shoemaker's con-
clusions were that under the old laws
of nature the strong specimens sur
vived and that the best development
of any species was In the midst of its
natural enemies. His theory, bolster
ed by observation. is entirely against
the modern proposition that you can
save quail or grouse by killing crows
or hawks, or that you can save trout
by killing pelicans.
1t is but a feeble defense that wild
game can erect out of its increasing
knowledge of man and his deadliness.
The mallard learns to dive In three
feet of water instead of six inches and
so uses more open water, but he Is not
safe. The covey of quail learns to fly
to the densest swamp on the covey
rise, but 1t is not safe. The sheep go
to the highest mountains, the elk to
the farthest Businesses of the noun
tains. but they are not safe. Trans
portation and invention on the part
of man have outrun all the resources
of our wild game. So it comes simply
to question of whether we want 1t
or don't want 1t.

LAMP WICKS NEED CARE

Never attempt to cut lamp wicks.
Wipe them off with bit of soft paper
wounded over the finger, declares
Good Housekeeping" Remember that
not until there is a smooth layer of
packed-down carbon will you get the
most even burning flame. Cutting the
wick gives you a ragged wick, that in
turn causes a ragged flame. 1t goes
without saying that a wick that is
once allowed to burn out of oil is prac-
tically ruined. The stove will give off
an odor until new wick is installed
and the stove is again clean from the
carbon deposits due to imperfect COM
bustion in those last moments of
burning out. For every complaint of
an oil heater that burns with an odor,
these is some such explanation of
careless usage.

FEEDING VALUE OF
COTTON SEED

When cottonseed meal, containing
say 36 per cent. protein (so-called
z per cent. meaD costs $50 ton, cot
ton seed properly fed are worth
around $33 ton. If the seed must be
hauled back to the farm after gin
ming, or if the meal can be hauled to
the farm instead of hauling the seed
back, that is if no extra hauling costs
are involved in, we would rather have
ton of cottonseed meal for feeding
than ton and half of cotton seed.
The feeding values are about the
same, but larger amount of feed
value, or part of full ration can
be supplied by cottonseed meal than
by cotton seed, because there is an
excess of oil in the seed.
When cotton seed are cheaper, they
should be used to a limited extent ;
but resentment toward the low price
of seed should not lead US into the
mistake of feeding them when they
are not Of as good value.-The Pro-
gressive Farmer.
