The Grackles Convene.

What makes Autumn? The end of
sultry weather? A foretaste. barely
perceptible in the early morning. of
crisper weather that will follow" The
morns are meeker than they We're
wrote Emily Dickinson of September
Is it the crisping leaves. drifting to
the pavement, cracking under foot?
Or the clamor of the grackles gather
ing for migration?
The grackles take their time about
departure. They are like fussy per
sons going to Europe, forever cac'
king and flurring about, worrying
about their tickets, and trunks, and
deck chairs on the steamer Though
the grackleS. in some numbers, stay
with us all the year round we know
that there are many more of them in
Spring and Autumn.
Partly this is due to the migra-
tions-or more precisely we might
call them erratic junketings-of birds
not resident with us. But even those
grackles that stay with us all the
Summer long. have been silent and
shy during the hot months. and only
the person really watching for birds
has seen them, in ones and twoS,
picking up a meager living around
the pools and streams. Now, as if
impeled by apprehension of the chang
ing season, this species remembers
its gregarious habits, and bands to-
gether.
How they agree upon a meeting
place one cannot say, and what it is
the gossipy males find to gable about
is still more mystery. But when
they congregate Autumn is here.

A Lesson in Food.

One mother says:
My children would ask for food that
was not good for them, and refused
to understand why they couldn't have
it. So | purchased two small plants
for each child, which they gladly
promised to care for. told them
what plants should eat to make them
healthy. One plant they We're to feed
water and sunshine and air. The other
was put in the basement away from
the sunshine food. In two weeks time
the basement plant had turned yellow.
They were then brought back to the
good food. but it was several weeks
before they We're like the we'll fed
plants. My children understand now

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Every so often we like to print some

There is nothing so inspiring as sue
cess, so here are the experiences of
two mothers as help to some other
new mothers struggling along these
same paths. Mrs. F. 7. writes
II came home from the hospital at
three weeks, nursing my baby sue

nerves had been frayed l found that
my milk had left me. The baby

and nurse her, give it up The nurse
said: I'll help you to get it back.
I wanted above everything else to
nurse my baby, as the first one had
died / wanted so hard that nothing
was too much trouble to take.

the baby. l stayed home and gave up
society and l have a beautiful, healthy
child as a result
Mrs. II. II. was so i'll that the baby
was taken from the breast at the hos
pital. Six weeks later she came home
with nurse who refused to take
care of the baby unless the mother
tried to nurse the baby. The mother s
friends advised against it and urged
her not to be tied down by nursing.
But she did not listen to them. Some
what the same efforts were made to
bring back the milk as with the first
mother and the results We're the same.
She nursed her baby for nine months.

HORSES SLIPPING

Although horse breeders are
maintaining and improving their
stock year after year, the horse
production OF the nation is on a
gradual decline, says the United
states Department of Agriculture.
n only States, Nevada, Arizona,
wyoming, Montana and New Mexico,
are enough foals born every year to
maintain their own horse population.
in order to keep up the present
number of horses in the United
States it is necessary to increase the
annual foal crop by IS per cent over
he entire country. In some States
his figure runs much higher. In
illinois, for instance, 40 per cent
more foals are needed annually, in
Ohio 1876 per cent, in Indiana 215
per cent, and in Connecticut l,19O
per cent.

TRIUMPHs OF GENIUS

Had our farmers employed the
same methods of sowing and har

the labor of our lis million people

million people in addition. b.
modern methods, the great cror

million farmers in few months.
Statistics also show that had on

as were used, but 20 years ago. cos

it would still be unmoved In the
warehouses or rotting in the field.
Just as our farmers met tho
situation by using modern methods
and machinery. so our railroads met
it by providing additional facilities
including larger engines and cars
to haul more tonnage per train.
Had primitive methods been used
in cultivation and transportation OF
our crops and commerce in 1926,
our condition despite our boundles'
resources, would not be unlike that
of China or Russia. where modern
methods are neither used nor under
stood and where both productivity
and transportation are alike still if

sense to avail of the achievements
of inventive genius. and have
progressed and prospered as have
no other people in the world.

MEAT AND BEANS

Many people believe that beans,
,uch as the navy. lima and other
Kinds of dried beans, are substitutes
Tor meat from the standpoint OF
heir nutritive value. Recent re-
.earch by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture on the kind of
protein contained in different foods
las shown that, the protein of meat
IS superior to that OF beans from the
standpoint of meeting the needs OF
the body. The protein-yin meat is
called complete" or efficient"
while that in beans is called
incomplete, because it lacks GER
tain essential acids. The average
meal that Americans eat, however,
usually contains bread and othe.
foods that contain some kind OF
protein. Generally a combination
of these with the protein in beam
will supply the body what IL needs
So far as nutritive value goes it is
therefore all right to use beans
occasionally in place of meat for
dinner.
