strength invasion of grasshoppers
such as the western farmers have
come to dread, it is said, but the
birds assist materially in the efforts
made by man to control the pest.
Specialists say that poisoning cam
paigns are among the best weapons
used against the grasshopper. From
ing that many birds have fallen vic
tim to the poisoned mixtures placed
for the insects. Such charges were
associated with the gypsy-moth spray
ing campaign in New England and
with the laying Of poisoned maslles
full observation, made by experts,
shows that the bird losses from such
causes are insignificant. Some birds,
it is said, are not harmed at all by the
presence of poison placed for insects
or vcrlnin; the quail in California
were not harmed by the baits that
were set out to kill ground squirrels
though the campaign was Il general
one and was conducted with much in
tcnsity. In the Dnkotas a few birds
succumfed to the arsenic maShes
placed for grasshoprers, but the num-
her killed was so slight as to be Of
no consequence, it is said.
By killing stray cats and chasing
OF unscrupuolus hunters the farmer
can become party to Il sort of de-
fensive alliance with his birds, so that
when his crops need protection
against insect enemies he will have a
squadron of aerial cavalry to help
him repulse the raid, specialists say.

The incubator room or cellar should.
be large enough to allow the attend

provided with some system of ventla-
ton in addition to the windows. This
is not always necessary, however: The
chief point is to keep the air in the
room fresh. Muslin screens on the
windows provide good ventilation with
out draft and at the same time keep
the sun from shining on the machines.
Many incubator cellars have cement
floors, which are easier than dirt floors
to keep clean and neat.

After the pOultrynlan has made up
his mind to buy an incubator, he is
confronted with the question Of makes
and sizes. AS general rule, a cheap
machine is poor investment, requir-
ing more attention than good one anu
wearing out quicker besides being less
dependable. The value of the machine
Is small compared with that OF the
eggs used during the normal life of an
incubator. 1t is poor economy, there
fore, to buy machine which is not re-
liable. Whenever possible it is we'll
10 select the kind of incubator that
has given satisfaction in your neigh
borhood, so that you may get the bene-
fit Of the experience of other operators
near by.
Varies With Needs.
The best size of incubator TO buy
varies with numerous circumstances
say poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
About as much time is required to
care for 60 as for 3GO-egg ma
chine; it is usually advisable to get
one, of at least 150-egg capacity. Spe
cial conditions, though, often exist
which make smaller machines vulu-
| able.
| A small machine is often used in
connection with larger one, all eggs
being placed in the large machine after
the first or second test. Many poultry
men believe that 1t pays to have an in
cubator large enough to hatch the bulk
OF their stock in two or three matches,
so that much time is saved in tending
to the incubators and brooders. In
addition the chickens are more uni
form in size than those Matched when
the incubating period extends over q
longer time.
A fair estimate for poultry farm is
an incubator Of one-egg capacity per
hen, provided that about One-half of
the flock is to be renewed yearly and
no outside Matching is carried on. The
larger machines cost less in proportion
to their capacity than the smaller ones

THE ROMANCE or WORDS
"RENiG"

TISED by whist and euchre
~ players to signify a revoke
or failure to play u card of the
suit called for, the word "renig"
is properly spelled ''renege"
and is the Old English verb
meaning to refuse. renounce or
deny. 1t probably crept into
whist from the older game of
"spoil-five" which, with Its
variations of twenty-five" and
"forty-fve' is still played in
the British army and in many
parts of Ireland. In this game
the player is permitted to renig
(or to deny the suit when hold
ing certain cards. Here the
word retains its original mean
ing. though its synonym "re-
woke" is not so easy to trace.
The word ''renege" is twice
used by Shakespeare, once in
"Anthony and Cleopatra" and
once in king Lear" and is uc-
caSiOnally found in the works
of other writer's of the Sixteenth
and Seventeenth centuries.
Chnucer uses the form reneys.
evidently from the French re-
nier which. in turn. is derived
from the Latin renegare. the
rOOt-word OF "renegude" und
other English derivatives.

Heliodorus, Unfrocked Monk, Is Trying to Start Revolution

RIGA, Latvia. July 27 7- The monk Illiodor (lIeliodorus), former preceptor and afterward antagonist of the notorious Rasputin, is again attracting attention in Russia by announcing his purpose to start a revolution in the Orthodox Russian Church. Heliodcrus fled from Rus sia after his break with Rasputin in the early part of the war but re- turned after the Bolsheviki gained control. He was unfrOcked by the church.
 His reappearance in public in Russia was almost simultaneous with a revival of a fervor in the Ortho- doX Church, which the Bolshevik! now are trying to combat. In an ad- dress at Tsaritsin (of which he was formerly abbott he recently de clared:
 Il consecrate myself to the fight for the peoples cause and to start a campaign against the popes (priests) which is to make a revo- lution within the church.
 Every Sunday and on many re- ligious feast days in Russia theI churches are now crowded. Commun- ists, themselves, are attending the services and this has brought down on their heads a warning from the government not to set so bad an example for the peasants. On that subject, the Moscow Pravda says that some of the Communists even have used Soviet official automobiles to take their families to church services, wedding and christenings. The newspaper printed the follow ing warning from the party heads:
 The Soviet power has no inten- ton to ocmpel anyone by forciblel means to leave off the services of professional darkness, but the Con- munist party as a whole has a right and is bound to demand from it's responsible members that they not only should not take part in re- ligious ceremonies and services but should try by example and explana- tion to others to overcome all relig- iOus superstition. Every member of the party directly and openly should recognize and strengthen by, the eX ample of his own conduct the truth | that religion and scientific Com ] munism are absolutely incom patible."
