RAVAGES OF JIM

Like most outlaws, the notorious
Jim Crow has some points that are
commended among law-abiding citi-
zens, but when he is bad bird he
Is a hard-boiled egg His springtime
ravages on the cornf1eld are largely
responsible for his unsavory reputa-
ton, but he has added to 1t by occa-
sional raids on the poultry yard, dep
relations on wild birds, and attacks
on crops other than corn. At certain
seasons and in certain localities he
becomes such nuisance and a detri-
ment to farming that he must be
warned by making an example of some
members Of his gang
Jim is only about half bad, and be-
cause Of his better half, which does
not mean his wife, who Is just as
black as he Is, it Is not advisable to
treat him too harshly. Nearly one
fifth of his food Is made up Of in
sects, and he includes on his menu.
some Of the farmers worst enemies
grasshoppers, caterpillars, and white
grubs and their parents, the May
beetles.
Been Going Too Far.
Probably we could not get along so
well without Jim Crow as with him..
Killing off the whole family, if that
We're possible, would be short-sight-
ed policy. So, when the United States
Department of Agriculture recon-
mends the poisoning Of crows, this
measure should be looked upon mere
ly as warning to Jim and his family
that they have been going too far and
that they can't get away with every
thing. They are wary enough not to
need many repetitions of the lesson.
Every spring farmers revive their
old feud with the Jim Grow FAMILY,
carrying on desultory battle by
means of scarecrows, epithets, and the
more effective. deterrents Of coal tar
and poison. Coal tar, which may be
secured at gas plants and some paint
shops, is not poison, but it imparts
disagreeable gassy odor to the seed
grain that is distasteful to crows and
other pests. 1t has the advantage,
not possessed by some other deter
rents ON the market, of not affecting
the termination Of the corn when
used in limited quantities. A table,
spoonful is used to half a bushel Of
seed.
/ Strychnine 10 Favored.
The best deterrent, however, is
strychnine, which may be applied to
corn In a paste made up in the pro-
portion Of one ounce Of powdered
strychnine, two tablespoonfuls Of
starch, and one and one-half pints of
water to 20 quarts of corn. The starch
and strychnine are put into the water,
which Is heated to boiling, and stirred
well when the starch begins to thick
en-. This paste is poured on the corn
and stirred into it until thoroughly
distributed. The corn is spread to
dry and is then ready to use. This
method is better than the old one OF
sleeping the corn in strong strych-
nine solution. Because of their war
mess 1t will not be possible to kill
many of the crows, but little Of this

WOMEN NEED sWAMP-RoO1

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss Of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms Of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm

great preparation send ten cents to DR..

Two little boys, living in different

between them as to the merits of their

CHIEF VALUE OF SANDY SOIL
Roots of Plants Are Permitted to Pass
Through Readily, but 1t Dries
Out Quickly.

The chief virtue of sandy soil is that
the roots of plants can pass through
it readily; its chief fault is that it
dries out too. quickly. Clay soil holds
water well, but it tends to pack and
harden. Both types of soil need stable
manure-it loosens up clay and helps
sand to hold moisture.

COMMUNICATED.
On the School Board Question.

Editor New Britain Herald:
 Your editorial regarding the ques- 1 ton of greater control of the School Department by the city officials while in the main fair to both sides, does not fully recognize the great dam age of divided responsibility for such en important function of our civic ad- ministration as ia the education of our youth in city such as we live in.
 In all Of our business and social affairs, the best results are obtained when specific tasks are fully put un- der the control of responsible per- sons, and those persons held account able for the results obtained.
 For many years our local school committee has been composed of strong, reliable men who have been accustomed to handling great affairs, who have given much valuable time to the work, and who have been ex- ceptionally fortunate in securing az their agApt in administering the af- fairs of tAe school department man who has made the schools of New i Britain models for other cities to copy from.
 have recently spent some time in mid d-western city where the-School committee is dependent 10 certain 9xtent on the city officials for appro- rrations and appointments.
 The result is that through lack of harmony or cooperation, a very large number Of children are on part time f~~ school houses, and other make e-shift devices are resorted to in an effort to house the school children, and there is constant friction and quihbling over salaries, purchase of supplies, and the appointment of officials and teachers. The erection of several much needed school buildings has been held up in some cases for years.
 For this reason, when I was urged to make that city my future home,
