Do Splendid Work In Field and @echard -- Meadow Larks and Robins Real Friends of Farmers ' e=Redbreast Devours Many Cut- worms-- Farmer's Wife Should Be a Ceo-partner. (Comtributed by Ontario Dabartment of Agriculture, Tafoniny When we employ '2 man and put him to work in the fields destroying the weeds and insects that are injur- lous to erop production, we are oblig-: ed to pay 'for the service with the coin of the realm. "If the weeds and inseets were not controlled, crop pro- duction would 'be greatly hampered. We willingly pay the human labor to. 1 eultivate and protect the crops, while at the same time giving little thought te the great service rendered by birds as farm help--yes, unpaid farm help. Weeds grow from weed seeds. De- stroy the weed sced and we could in time get rid of this agricultural pest. Insects that feed on farm crops come from the eggs of moths, flies, beetles and "butterflies; destroy these early in the year and prevent the swarms of young crawlers gaining life and menacing the erops. The Bird Is the Unpaid Farm Help. 'A meadow lark will eat each day weed seeds and insects in. quantity greater than its own body weight. Four ounces of weed sseds or young grasshoppers each day on an average for the year would mean the destrue- 'tion 'of 'over. 90 pounds In a year. Twenty meadow larks on the farm would consume a ton of weed seed A ton of weed seed" gathered fromthe fields may seem like delivering a large ordsr, but a little flock of meadow larks will. do it. Are such birds worth protecting? If you saw a little meadow lark perched be- - side a hundred pound sack of weed seeds, the gathering of which repre- gented his year's work, don't you think your heart would soften and you would spare the bird's life? The normal man who appreciates a good friend will not injure nor will he permit any one else to injure the insect and weed Josivoving birds of our 'meadow lands.' The Robin No Mere Fruit Thief. Is the robin a cherry thief? No, this bird has a perfeet right to satisfy his hunger by consuming a few cher- ries in season in the orchard where he 'works as an insect destroyer for gix months of the year without any wage contract. The few cherries and other domestic fruits that robins take during June and July make up less than one-third of their food for that short period. During all the rest of: the season, from March to October, the robin feeds largely on insects that infest the orchard and garden.- were not for the good work of the robin, 'many attempts at vegetable production would fail. Vegetable gar- dens and small fruit plantations are largely at the mercy: of the cut-worm. Redbreast a - Great, Devourer of Cut- korms. . The robin is fn Yost OL wor hunter that we have. His daily capac- ity 'when the hunting is 'good and there are hungry nestlings to feed, is not less than 300 cut-worms per day. Any bird that will destroy 300 eut-wormg each day during the sea- the respect of all people. of a few cherries or an odd straw- berry by the robin is just to change the taste in his mouth after consum- ing so many wiggly worms. broad-minded, and protect the robin.. Only the meanest of narrow-minded people will destroy such a useful bird. Protecting Fruit From Birds. "If every single cherry must be re- served for sale, and robins abound, cover the tree with wire netting or old fish aet or else put up a cherry clack or old duto-horn in the tree. The period of cherry raiding is short, since the birds prefer the wild fruit and will go te the fence rows as soon as they are ripe, leaving the culti- vated ' fruit. Protect the 'meadow. lark from the boy with a sun, and proteet the robin from people who do net know amy better than to de- stroy a usefal servant. The farm birds make life possible for us all.-- L. Stevenson, Sec., Dept. of Agricul- ture, Toronto. Farm Wife Should Be a Co-Partner. 'It is only a contented, willing, thrifty and competent wife that can provide 'adequately for-the needs -of the farmer and keep the social atmo- sphere of the farm so wholesome and pleasant that work becomes a joy to the family and to such help as may be employed. One of the shames-of farm life is that such services are accepted as a matter of course, and that little, if any, recognition is given for the important place taken by the wife and mother in. making the farm financially successful and the home a fit place in which to rear a family. One of the best definitions I have, heard of an ideal farm is "A home with a farm business attached." If this view were to .be commonly ac- cepted the plane of living on farms would be much higher than it now is, and the duties and influence of the 'home manager would be put on a par with the duties and influence of the Then the farm busi- faet. Meat Consumption Figures. The average per head consumption of meat of all kinds, exclusive of poultry and game in Great Britain, was about 120 pounds. a year prior to the war. Of this iount three- ffths was home-produeed, and two- fifths was impc iol.

St. John, N.B.--The Canadian Pacific Railway has to Jan. 6th shipped 'more than two million bushels of grain more. than during the corresponding pericd last year.

A. Buckham, M.L.A. A survey will be made as soon as possible and the work 'will be done by contract. The cost is estimated at "$234, 000. That portion of the road to be constructed by, the Parks branch of the Domin- ion Government will also be got under way this year, it is stated. The completion of this road will create a large amount of tourist traffic through Golden, and 'will also: afford a loop whereby local cars may travel to Calgary and points in Alberta, and return over the newly completed Banff-Winder- mere road to Golden, passing some of the most magnificent mountain Scenery on the continent. Ottawa -- The "Ottawa Eevenin Journal" has the following editoria which iis. good reading for automo- bile drivers all over the country: This is the season of the year with 'automobile . accidents, and it will probably be found that the rail= way level crossing is still the most "favored: location for traffic mishaps | "of varying degrees of seriousness. This time of the year may also be a favorable one for considering the matter of = accidents at railway crossing, especially in this locality, Ottawa. has .a number of railway crossings, although 'not more than the average Canadian city. Auto- . mobile 'accidents frequently happen | son when the garden vegetables are - ' getting started is certainly worthy of. The taking - 'at these crossings, and. they are 'usually caused through negligence on the part of car drivers." An obli- 'gation to use reasonable care rests upon all users of the highway, - whether they walk, drive a wagon or drive a motor car. Most people do exercise that care, the more cau- tious ones. even: being wise enough |. But there. to stop, look and listen. are others who do not. Official rec- ords of accidents at the railway crossings: in Ottawa prove this ha- yond doubt. «There are actually' on record cases where men have driven their cars into trains at a standstill on a crossing. Here is an illuminating case. On December 18th an engine was going towards Bank street on' the railway tracks with four cars and a crew. When approaching Booth street crossing. the whistle was sounded and the bell was rung automatically, A motor car, to quote the official re- port, "coming at about 30 miles an hour attercpted to cross in front of the engine. Brakeman Little, who was riding on the front footboard, gave the engineer the signal to stop and he applied the brakes in emer- gency. The automobile stopped right in the middle of the crossing and the engine came up against it and pushed it a few inches; leaving tech: on the! car. ald not give: his: name; but drove off, remarking, . with it."
