STARTLING PREYS UPON BUGS
Spends Endless Hours Searching for
and Destroying Insects-Birds
Friqhten Easily.

Because of conflicting opinions con-
corning the starting as an economic
factor in the United States, the burehu
of biological survey, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, I'm 1916 be-
gan an extensive field investigation Of
its food habits, supplemented by care
full laboratory examinations of stom-
achs of thousands Of the birds. These
investigations have proved that most
of the starling's food habits are either
beneficial to man or a neutral char
acter. The time the birds spend de-
strOying crops or molesting other birds
is extremely short as compared with
the endless hours they spend searching
for insects that destroy plant life. or
in feeding on wild fruits. In the Opin-
ion of ornithologists of the biological
survey the farmer will be well reward
ed by allowing a reasonable number %
starlings to conduct their nesting Oper-
ations on the farm, and that later in
the season a little vigilance will pre-
vent the birds, which are easily fright
ened,. from exacting too great a toll
for services rendered in destroying
insects that ravage crops.

a POSTSCRIPT written to the story
"A of suits is due just now and may
be briefly written, since the story itself
was not a long one this season. There
has been great uniformity of styles and
considerable variety in details Of I'm
ishing, and the points that distin-
guished suits at the beginning of the
season proved to be very popular, so
that there has been no good reason for
running after strange gods. Now that
the season is over, and designers are
turning their attention to spring, we
are not likely TO find any startling In
novatiOns In winter styles.
The two suits pictured are found
among the liberal quota of fur-trim-
med models that have made up a
part of all representative collections.
The suit at the left is one of the few
that have shown themselves inuepend-
ent of the vogue for coats reaching al
most to the knees. There are few
models that keep 1t company, so that

are very becoming and good in style

DODSON KILLING
USE Of CALOMEL
Says Drug Is Mercury and Acts
Like Dynamite on Your
Liver.

DOdsOn is making hard fight
against calOmel In the South. Every
druggist has noticed great falling on
in the sale of calOmel. They all give
the same reason, DOdsOn's Liver Tone
is taking its place.
''Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while DodsOn's Liver Tone Is
perfectly safe and gives better results"
said a prominent local druggist. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is personally guaran-
teed by every druggist. A large bottle
costs but a few cents, and If 1t fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggiShneSS and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money back.
DOdsOn's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy
harmless to both children and adults

COOPERATION PAYS FARMERS
Formation of Society in Prentiss
County, Miss, Follows Efforts
of County Agent.

Cooperative marketing of all KINDS
of farm produce has been successfully
worked out in Prentiss county, MISS.
Buyers formerly went into the coun-
ty and purchased at their own prices,
often % per cent below the outside
market. The county agent OF the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture succeeded in getting the farmers
to load a car of corn, each farmers
contribution being weighed separately
and a record kept by one of the banks.
The car netted % cents bushel over
previous prices, and the local market
rate arose % cents as a consequence.
A cooperative shipment Of hogs fol-
bws, and after several successful ex-
periences the Farmers Cooperative
association of Prentiss county, Miss
was organized and a regular market
ing agent employed. This organization
did a BUSINESS of more than $25O'OOO in
~ months, at prices considerably in
advance of those formerly realized
Deposits in two local banks were more
than doubled in two years.

A charming hat at the bottom of the

like hats for grownups. 1t is also
made of velvet with sectional crown
and has an upturned brim split at each
side. Silk cord edges the brim and

bright motifs in silk embroidery help
the gaiety of the winter season. No
wonder its small wearer is so pleased
with life in general and her hat in
particular. 1t is a clever piece of de-
signing in which the means used for
developing maturer headwear have
been perfectly adopted to childhood

Get Mower Under Shelter.
Mowers, more generally than plOws
and harrOws, are put under shelter, but
many of them spend the winter at the
edge of the meadow where the last
cutting of hay was made, and in most
cases they are not properly creased
even when sheltered. Get the mower
under shelter if possible. In any case.
clean the knife bar, wipe it with
greasy rag, and store in dry place.
Place a block of wood or other sup
port under the mid-pOint of the tongue
so that it will not acquire permanent
sag. If the mower is stored with the
cutter bar In a vertical position, place
block of wood under the shoe, to
take the weight off the frame. All
Accommodations of vegetable matter and
dirt should be removed and all bear
ings and other bright parts of the ma
chine oiled or creased. Much the
same rules apply to reapers and bind
erS.
The time to care for each imple-
! ment is when its work is finished.

is lost every spring waiting for repair

Use Paint and Grease.
The best possible use should be made
of such housing space as is available,
and grease and paint should be used
without stint. Any farm imD'enent

LAND PLASTER VERY USEFUL
Tends to Preserve Nitrogen OF Manure
Rather Than Expel lt-Good
Stable Deodorant.

Land plaster, gypsum, or calcium
sulphate should not be confused with
lime though it is similar in the re-
spect that it carries the element cal
cium. Unlike lime, gypsum will not
correct acidity, but 1t has the advan-
tage Of changing ammonium carbonate,
which is volatile, into the stable form
of ammonium sulphate. For this rea-
son it is exceptionally useful as a
tleodorant and absorbent in stables. IT
tends to preserve the nitrogen of ma
nure rather than to expel it, as do
burned and hydrated lime, and there
fore it is quite generally recommended
as a preservative for poultry manure
as well as other sorts.

In this day of complicated machin-
cry most farmers probably give little
thought TO the care of so simple an
implement as pillow. But more EFFORT
has been expended in the slow process
of developing this seemingly simple
tool than in that of any other impie-
ment on the farm. 1t is the basic ill.,
lagp tool. the fundamental farm imple-
nent and it is richly entitled to be
properly cared for when not in use.
Store in Dry Place.
When laid by, say the implement ex-
perts, the pillow should, if possible he
stored in a dry place, away from con-
tact with the ground. In any case. the
bright parts should always be coated
with grease to prevent rust. once the
mold board and share have become
pitted with rust, an efficient JOB OF
blowing cannot be done until the cor
roded parts again have acquired pol
ish by use.
The United States Department oil
Agriculture, of course, does not stop
with the pillow in its admOnition in this
regard. HarrOws, also relatively sim
pie but tremendously important I'M
plements, are, next TO plOws, most gen.
orally neglected. Many farmers VINO
would not neglect an expensive mar
vesting machine, say the experts are
careless as to harrOws and other i'm
Elements of this type. But these also
represent capital invested, and larg-
er return is possible if they are prop
erly cared for at the end of the season.
If harrOws are stored under a shed
: the teeth should be supported Dy
blocks or boards, so that they Will not
become embedded in the ground. All
denominations of earth and trash
should be removed This is especially
applicable to wOOden-frame harrOws
The earthly accumulations retain mois'
ture and accelerate decay. When the
wooden parts have dried out SUN
GENTLY they should be painted, to pre-
vent season checking and splitting. AS
the harrow works in wet earth ant
close to the ground, deterioration Il
rapid once checking has started.
If the disk harrow is stored in
shed or other floOrless building, th'
disk gangs should be run upon boards
so the disks will not become embed
ded i'm the ground. Whether housed o
not, the implement should be CAREFUL,
cleaned of all accumulatiOns of soil
and the disks should be creased witt
heavy grease to prevent rust. In

LEsPEDEzA OF GREAT VALUE
One of the Most Valuable Forage
Crops for Southeastern Part of
the United States.

Lespedeza,, also commonly known as
Japan clover, is one of the most valu-
able forage crops for the southeastern
part Of the United States. Except on
alluvial bottom lands, it rarely makes
sufficient growth TO justify being cut
for hay; nevertheless its widespread
adaptation to grazing conditions gives
it value that is difficult TO estimate.
Being a legume, It is valuable for soil
Improvement. and also it is relished
by all classes of live stock. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has a new Farmers Bulletin, No
1143, on lespedeza as a forage crop.
