"After taking the second bottlo I no ticed that the headache was not so bad, Ire3ted better, and my nerves were stronger.

(ny W I, M'ATEB) Seven kinds of finches, commonly fcnbwn as grosbeaks, are to be found within the boundaries of the United StateB. Tho majority of theso aro good friends of the farmer and de aervo to bo widely known In order that their services may bo. appre ciated The grosbeaks aro easily dls tmgulshed from other finches by their ,stout forms, bright plumage, massive bills and mclodiouB volcet) All of theso birds perform lnvuluablo serv ice to our farmers by destroying cer tain of our own worst insect pests. The rose-bretistcd grosbeak, potato-bug-bird, has an extensive range, breeding from Kansas and tho moun tains of Tennessee north to Canada and north and east to tho Atlantic ocean and Newfoundland. The rose breast has long been held In high (esteem becaube of its habit of preying upon the potato beetle, and the name potato-bug bird suggests Its impor tant services In this direction. Larvae, as well as adult beetles, are con sumed, and a great many are fed to icstllngs. No less than a tenth of Black-Headed and Rose-Breasted Gros beaks. the total food of the rosobreasts ex amined consists of potato beetles evidence that the bird is one of the most important enemies of tho pest. Its services in devouring other exceed ingly harmful Insects are scarcely less valuable. Tho cardinal, redblid, ranges from southern Mexico, Lower California, and Arizona, north to Iowa and On tario, and east to the Atlantic coast. It is a great enemy to tho rose chafer, cotton worm, plum or chorry scale, and other scale insects, aud at tacks many other important insect pests, including the zebra caterpillar of the cabbage, the cucumber beetles, blilbugs, locust flea-beetle, corn-ear worm, cotton cutworm, southern, iig eater, codling moth, and boll weevil. In'additlon it consumes a great mnny seeds of injurious weeds Thus its food habits entitle the bird to our esteem, as its brilliant coat and spirit ed song compel our ndmiratoin The black-headed grosbeak, west ern grosbeak, ranges from southern Mexico to British Columbia, North Dakota and Nebraska. It fills the same place in the west thai tho rose breast does In the east, and eco- jr' St f of THROW AWAY THAT BIG CLUB Every Time You Strike a Meat Animal With It You Injure Its Value at Market and Your Bank Account Must Suffer. A lot of systematic money savers are the meat handlers of the United States. We refer to the men who buy live stock and convert It Into cuts to be sold over the butcher's counter. They are constantly warning the Qrower of live stock, the men who handle it In transit to market, and alike those who handle It at market, to "LAY DOWN THE CLUB" and avoid bruising the animals. The men who buy live stock, upon slaughtering It and finding bruised carcasses, are losers where they are unable to discount the losses by buying the stuff at a lower figure than prevails for sound ani mals free of bruises, which have been handled by men who have a LITTLE HUMANE CONSIDERATION FOR THEIR PROPERTY. The club in a live 6tock handler's fist, swung in a fit of temper upon the back of an animal, acts as a boomerang In that it rebounds and hits the purse of the owner of the animal a hard blow. The big packers keep a careful record of their live stock pur chases. THEY KNOW THE ORIGIN OF A BRUISED ANIMAL and the seller is held to account for their loss. His punishment comes IN DIRECTLY, bi-. It Is a PRICE PUNISHMENT, which should teach him that Inconsiderate treatment of live stock IS NOT GOOD BUSINESS POLICY. Exercise care In handling your live stock at home; Inci6t upon careful handling In transit and at market Everybody hates a club swinger. He Is a fellow whose mentality appears weak. There are on tho statute books severe penalties for inhumane treatment of animals, but the severest penalty for a man who wields a club over the back of an animal ought to be the guilt of his conscience. Let's throw away the club and handle live stock in a manner which will Insure Its delivery at the slaughter house In condition to command the highest price BY REASON OF ITS FREEDOM FROM BRUISES WHICH NEVER OUGHT TO BE FOUND ON THE CAR CASS. Btue Grosbeakc nomlcally 1h fully as Important. In stead of being regarded as an enemy by western orchardlstB, tho blackhead should bo esteemed as a friend, since it is a foe to the worst pests of horti culturists the Bcalo InBectB which compose a fourth of its food. The black ollvo scale alone constitutes n fifth of the bird's subsistence, and the frosted scale and apricot scale also are destroyed. Tho blue grosbeak 1b a small but beautiful bird which breeds over tho southern two-third", of tho United States. Ulue groBbeaks do no dnmago during tho nesting period, and, In fact, aro of great value to any farm thoy choose for a home, since they ent many insects. A tenth of tho sub sistence Is mado up of purslane cater pillars and cotton cut-worms, enemies of sugar beets and cotton. Ilecauso of its effective warfare on these pests, tho blue grosbeak Is an efficient ally of tho farmer and deserves to be pro tected. The gray grosbeak, parrotblll, enters the United States ouly In Texas, Ari zona, and New Mexico. Like tho blue grosbeak it is moro fond of cater pillars and grasshoppers than of other insects Weevils are next in order of preference. In August nnd Sep tember seven-tenths of the gray gros beak's food is weed seed, fivH-ienths consisting exclusively of the seeds of two of the most important weeds of tho Bouth, namely, foxtail, and bur grass. So far as known, tho gray groabeak eats practically no benpficinl insott and damages no crop. This, in addition to the fact that It feeds upon noxiouB weed and insect pests, entitles it to complete protection. Planting wild fruit is important for tho purpose of attracting birds. Be sides tho fruits above mentioned, the following aro valuable: Dogwoods, hollies, juniper, bayberry. Virginia creeper, blueberries, blackberries and wild grapes. Not all the thickets on a farm should bo removed, since they serve to harbor birds, to protect them from enemies, and to furnish nesting Bites. Where thickets are lacking, tho growth of artificial ones should bo encouraged, for they are very attrac tive to grosbeaks, particularly to the cardl 1. A permanent drinking and bathing place 'on the farm and In the garden is to bo numbered among the most potent attractions for birds, nnd with a little Ingenuity ono can be prepared In almost any locality. Winter feed ing serves to attract the cardinal, which relishes com, sunflower, and other seeds, and takes kindly even to table sciap. If particular premises prove congeniul as a winter homo, the bird is likely to prefer them In sum mer. No efforts to attract grosbeaks will succeed, however, unless protection is assured. GrosbeakB are already pro tected by law In practically overy state, but, since the machinery for the enforcement of tho laws Is often In effective, stntutory protection must be supplemented by individual action, particular under trespass laws. RJBBC TO DEMONSTRATE IN SOUTH Highway Association to Show Value of Practical Maintenance on Road to Atlanta, Ga. In order to demonstrate tho value of practicul maintenance of highways, tho American Highway association, the central good roads organization of tho United StateB, has arranged, In co operation with tho federal olllco of public roads and road officials In Vir ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, for an ambitious main tenance experiment on tho road from Washington to Atlanta, Ga. Over 700 miles of road aro expected to bo im proved and kept in condition aB a re sult of the initiative of tho American Highway association. The experiment is on a larger scaln than any main tenance experiment over undertaken In this country. Tho great maintoilanco object les son road extends from tho capital of tho United Stntog through n very his toric section of tho country, passing such famous points as Arlington, Mount Vernon, tho battlefield of Bull Run, ChnnccllorBburg, en routo to Richmond, thenco extending south- Concrete Culvert In Virginia on a Stretch of Macadam Road. ward through the capitals of Noith and South Carolina, and terminating at Atlanta. The American Highway association will enlist tho support of tho counties and diBtriqts traversed by the road, and, wherever possible, Induce tho lo cal authorities to place tho road under tno supervision of government ou gineers who will bo detailed, from the otlice of public roads for that pur poso undor tho co operative arrange ment. Probably 75 per cent, of tho total mlleuKO has already been iminoved bv a sui facing of atone, gravel or a mix-1 ture of sand and clay. Tho object of the maintenance scheme Is to prevont the Improved portions of tho rood from deteriorating from lack of nuitablo care, and to make tho unimproved portions as comfortable for travol as posbiblo with tho money uvallable. With tho co-opemtion of all different communities, however, It Is hoped that concerted work will be under taken on tho entiro strotch of high wa, lesultliig in a continuous main tenance object lesson that will be a stimulus to maintenance throughout the country. Tho American Highway association has undertaken to rulBO the money for tho traveling expenses of the I engineers who will supervise the work. Leonard Tufts is chairman of tho committee designated by the associa tion to have chargo of tho campaign, and has already arranged to place 110 miles under government engi neers. It !b expected that all coun ties Unversed by the road will cheer fully enter into the nnangoment, as It Is n long stop toward a continuous stretch of road that will benefit tho ontlio seaboard. Better Roads, Good toads not only cheapens tho cost of transporting farm produco to market but makes tho country a de sirable place to live In. We hear much talk about federal uld for good loads, yet if wo wait for this movement to cryotalllzo into a reulity tho people of tho country will be riding in mud for some timo to como. The thing to do is to take off coats and bucklo into a plan for local road Improvement Bo a booster for tho grading of roads and follow up tho work with tho King road drag for maintenance. Tho principle of all good roads In all statos is tho same, viz , keeping tho water out and off of the roadbulB Ditch, drain nnd drng tho joads. This Is the tripod of good road building Of Value to Country, Good roadB may not bo tlio wliolo solution for prosperity and happiness of country life, but they aro a part of II, and u very necesimry and important part of it. Good Road Advocates, It is gratifying to observe that overy owner of an automobllo Imme diately bneomes an advocate of good roads. Weak Women!
