Gladstone, when a boy, was visiting in the country and the farmer was ibowing him around. Coming to a field that contained a large bull, the farmer said: "There's a One, strong bull there. Master William, and It s only two years old." "How do you tell its age," queried the boy. "Why, by Its horns," said the farmer. "Ry Its horns?" Young Gladstone looked thoughtfully a moment, tncn hi face cleared., "Ah, I see. Two horns two years." Ronton Tran , script. A . Weather conditions, parasites, fungi, insect disease and mechanically ap plied poisons (most of which are both together dangerous and expensive) are insufficient to check the multiple cation of Insects without the agist- aitce of Insectivorous birds. Edward H. Forbuah records seeing a pair of grosbeaks visit their nest 450 times in eleven hours, carrying to their young two or more larvae at a time. Spar rows, chickadees, vlreos, martins and warblers made from forty to sixty trips an hour to their nests with all kinds of Insects for their young. One of the reports of the biological survey records the finding of sixty grasshoppers In the crop of one nlghthawk and thirty-eigh- t 600 mosquitoes In another; cutworms in the crop of a blackbird and seventy canker worms In the erop of a cedar bird. Professor Tschu-d- l estimates that a song sparrow de tours 1.500 larvae a day, and Profes sor Forbush says that a single warbler will consume 10,000 tree lice a day. A scarlet tanager has been seen to devour gypsy moths at a minute for the rate of thirty-fiveighteen minutes at a time.

In reply to the following query: "Would you advise seeding wheat, oats and flax on ground that produced crops last season on spring breaking, or would It be better to plow the ground this spring and prepare a good seed bed? The sod is not yet com The Farmer and pletely rotted" Breeder makes this reply: "We believe, our correspondent should disk his ground Just as early In the spring as possible, then plow and harrow It, and If necessary give it an additional disking before seeding time. Disking before plowing Is desirable for two reasons, especially so In the region of our correspondent: First, because early disking prevents unnecessary loss of moisture; and second, because It loosens the surface soil and thus makes It possible to secure a closer contact between the top of the furrow slice and the bottom of the furrow at time of plowing. This close connection Is very Important. In the case of fall plowed land the soli settles down aad becomes compact during the winter season, so that by spring good capillary connection between the furrow slice and the bottom of tbe furrow may be secured. Where ground Is spring plowed tbe connection is apt to be too loose for the water to rise from tbe subsoil up Into the furrow slice early In the season, wbea It may be very much needed for tha sprouting of tha seed and the early growth of the crop. Loosening tha surface before plowing by means of disking, however, partly overcome this objection to spring plowing, and disking subsequent to tha plowing firms the soil and make It fin and mellow In preparation for the seed.

Bhepperd of the North Dakota Agricultural college recently sent out a number of inquiries to director of the. experiment station la tbe various dry farming states and territories, In which be asked what six of farms they regarded as best for dry land farming. Tbe replies Indicated that 320 acres is the smallest farm that can be profitably conducted under dry land conditions, and 640 acres i much better. In answer to the ques-tlon whether live stock husbandry Is considered essential to tbe succoks la la dry farming, the answer was every case. There answer were received from prsctlcally every western state, and from Canada as well.
