SAVING THE MEAT
Many modifications of our diet art
becoming increasingly necessary with
every day that passes. We heard a
woman remark, “We don’t have to
save meat any more, for we have nc
meatless days.” This was a grave mis
take. Just now more stress is heini
laid upon the saving of wheat, and
though we have been allowed less re j
striction on meat, still there is greai J
need of saving it.
In America, where people eat more
meat, proportionately, than they do
elsewhere, there has been for some
years a growing shortage in meat.
This shortage is due to restricted pas
turage anil the drift of population to- j
ward the cities, and has been greatly
increased by the war.
Meats have always been the staph;
food of fighting men, for they not
only furnish the required energy but
are compact and may be easily trans
ported. Till the end of the war beef,
fresh and corned; hams, bacon and
shoulders of pork must be sent in such
large quantities to the fighting line
and to the men in camp that the sup
ply at home will be scarce and high
priced. Dairy herds we cannot sacri
fice, for children must have milk.
It is plain, then, that we must con
tinue to eat less meat and different
kinds of meat. This will work to out
physical advantage, for most of us eat
far too much meat. Meat once a day
is always ample. Dr. Wiley and his
family keep in best of health having
meat once a week.
Cuts of meat not of use for the
army are heart, liver, kidney, tripe;
of pork the tenderloin, the head and
feet. With a little study one may turn
these parts into many tempting
dishes.
The use of eggs, beans, peas, cheese
and game will help preserve the meat
supply. Fish is the great natural sub
stitute for meats and is still low ir
price, for the public is not using it as
much as it should nor as much as it
shall. Such fish as is found in local
streams is always cheaper and better
Fish is wholesome, palatable and
cheap; these are great inducement
for its use.
Some have their war pigs; one ha
suggested the war lamb; we dare lo
offer the war fishpond. It would cost
nothing to keep the fish and some
boys might be found who would rath
er stock fishponds than hoe in the
gardens. E. S. E.
HOW TO STl'DY

A SOLDIER'S PLEA FOR THE LOAN.
I’m wondering as I sit here in the trench’s slime and mud,
A-llstening to the bullets with their whistle and their thud;
I'm wondering how the slay-at-homes would feel if they were here;
I wonder what they're doing that will bring the soldiers cheer.
Are they sitting home of evenings, feeling snug around the fire,
Jingling money in their pockets; every comfort they desire?
Like ns not they’re talking war talk, wishing that the strife would cease,
But 1 wonder what they’re doing that will help to bring on peace.
Of course the shops must flourish, and of course the crops must grow,
For it takes a lot of eats to keep the army on the go.
But the thing that's got me guessing is just how the profit's spent—
Are they banking every dollar—are they hoarding every cent?
I’m told that, m.v America is asking for a loan; ’
That they’re selling U. S. Bonds, the safest thing a man can own.
I’m telling you they’re slackers back at home if they don’t buy,
And a slacker is a traitor in the U. S. soldier’s eye.
The dollars that are loafing over home should go to work—
The government that made them didn’t mean to let them shirk.
For if the Hun should win here and go over ’cross the pond,
Every Yankee would regret the day he didn’t buy a bond.
—A Soldier in France.

RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD
(Agelalus phceniccua)
Length, about nine and one-hall
Inches.
Range: Breeds in Mexico and North
America south of the barren grounds ,
winters in southern half of United
States and south to Costa Rica.
Habits and economic status: The
prairies of the upper Mississippi val
ley, with their numerous sloughs and
ponds, furnish ideal nesting places for
redwings, and consequently this re
gion has become the great breeding
ground for the species. These prairies
pour forth the vast flocks that play
havoc with grain fields. Bast of the
Appalachian range, marshes on the
shores of lakes, rivers, and estuaries
are the only available breeding sites
and, as these are comparatively few
and small, the species is much less
abundant than in the West. Red
wings are eminently gregarious, liv
ing in flocks and breeding in com
munities. The food of the redwing
consists of 27 per cent animal matter
and 73 per cent vegetable. Insects con
stitute practically one-fourth of the
food. Beetles (largely weevils, a
most harmful group) amount to lu
per cent. Grasshoppers are eaten in
every month and amount to about 5
per cent. Caterpillars (among them
the injurious army worm) are eaten
at all seasons and aggregate 6 per
cent. Ants, wasps, bugs, flies, dragon
flies, and spiders also are eaten. The
vegetable food consists of seeds, in
cluding grain, of which oats is the
favorite, and some small fruits. When
in large flocks this bird is capable of
doing great harm to grain.
