father, c. w. Miller, have decided to
discontinue their silver fox farm,
which was started at Allard about two
years ago, and have killed and skin
ned the seven foxes at the farm They
give as their reason for going out Of
the business that the chances of pro-
fit did not compensate them for the
necessary time and expense. Prices
of silver fox furs are still high, ranging
from 5000 to $1,000. Henry Allard was
one of the original owners of the farm
but he sold his interest out to the
others about "a year ago.

THE MASON BEES
]. HENRY FAiBRE

REVIEWED BY JACK O,LARE1
Fabre has a quality about him which
is notably lacking in many scient,n
! writer's; the ability to make hi,nsel
interesting without deviating fron
his main subject. The great scientist,
book is really divided in three nor
items; the Chalicodona of the wall
OF the pebbles, the Sicilian Chalico
Coma, or Chalicodoma of the sheds
and Parasites. The French counrry
surrounding him was rich in botf
hnds OF bees and all his observation,
ana conclusions set down in his bool
were the result of actual experiments
Many years of his life were snar
,s.udylng the habits of these bees an,
ms conclusions are all proved bv tests

The unerring facility of the Masor
Bee to return straight home after be.
ing swung around in a basket several
times and being transported many
miles was the subject Of many stueies
and experiments by Fabre, and some.
thing that always remained mystery
to him. He also noticed this facility in
cats and rec ants but after several
experiments came to the conclusion
that in the latter case this power was
sight. He had much scorn for the
theory of Mimesis or protective col
oring as IAN illusion which we should
,elo well to relegate to oblivion" And
he gives such list of conclusive ex-
amples that it is hard to disagree will,
him.
He discusses the word Parasite"
and points out that the only arasites
are human ones, in the true sense of
the word. The insect parasites must
work as hard an6 run just as great
a risk as the worker bees. Whatever
caused the bees to give up their former
jobs as horfy gatherers for the de-
graded states of parasites always was
mystery to Fabrc.

SAVE 500 PER YEAR

A Dairyaan can save about $4,000
a year in purchasing feed for herd
of 20 cows by buying at the low
points in the market. This is a con-
sentative estimate, allowing 8 per cent
interest for the value of the feed on
hand for each month, says r. M
Turner, extension special st in farm
management at the State College of
Washington.
TIL farm management department of
the State College found in cost Of
milk survey in four Western Washing
ton counties that it took an average
of 1862 pounds of grain, ESQ pounds
of hay, 1900 pounds of succulents, and
1856 days of pasture to produce 5000
pounds of milk This is about the
yearly production per COW on many
farms in Washington.
Records show that $3.50 could be
saved on the 1862 pounds of grain
mixture, ESQ pounds Of hay and $500
pounds Of succulents by buying these
feeds during the low points in the
market.
If 20 cows were being MIXED, the
saving would be $4,000. Since part
of this feed would be consumed dur
ing months Of lower prices, the saving
is reduced to $4,000. Interest on the
value of feed on hand each month
at per cent reduces the saving or
20 cows to $4,000.
On the average, Oat prices are usual
1y lowest in September and October;
wheat from October to January; barley
in August; corn in December, January
and February; hay in September, Oct
toher, and November; bran from June
to October; oil meal in May and June;
and cottonseeG meal is low in Sep
tenber, October, February and March.

HERBERT HoovER's
cuTLp's BILL OF RIafiTs

"The ideal to which we should
strive is that there shall be no child
in America:
THAT has not been born under
proper conditions.
THAT does not live in hygienic
Surroundings.
"That ever suffers from undernou-
rishment.
ssThat does not have prompt and
efficient medical attention and inspec-
ton.
THAT does not receive primary in
struction in the elements Of hygiene
and good health.
That has not the complete birth
right of a sound mind in sound
body.
"Tl1at has not the encouragement
to express in fullest measure the spi-
rit within which is the final endow-
rnent Of every human being"
These rights" embody seven car
dinsl points of protection and encou-
ragement of childhood:
!. Preparedness for parenthood; mo-
therhood, fatherhood, prenatal care.
2. A wholesome home environment;
physical, cultural.
3. Sound nutrition.
4. Physical examination, correction
of defects, protection against disease.
S. Training in health habits and
knowledge; in the home, in the
school.
6. Mental and emotional soundness
through inheritance, through environ
ment.
7. Spiritual encouragement; through
the home, through the church.
1t may be many years before these
rights become common currency
in the lives of all or even the major
ity of American children, but they
have been the means of lifting stan
dards and hopes which will never
again sink to the level they were be-
fore.
The Bill of Rights is the pinnacle
OF hope for the future generations.
