Don’t forget to feed the woodpeckers during the cold winter months, especially during March, when food for i )

1 the birds Is scarce. A piece of suet . or meat, tacked to a convenient tree, '. will soon call several pairs of feathi. ered guests to dine: and they will b more than repay the trouble of tacki ing up the suet, by diligently search- . ing every crack and crevice in the !- bark of all nearby trees for eggs and :, larvae of Insects which would injure ■ the trees. Downy woodpeckers, nothatches and chickadees will come In plenty, »dth an occasional hairy wood- . pecker.’ It Is estimated that evetj day, a single woodpecker will devour hundreds of insect eggs. If we s were careful to protect and feed these . natural protectors of our trees, we : should have less spraying to do every . year, and thus by a little forethought ■ many dollars might be saved.

As assistant State Pure Food Inspector Willets was not prepared , Thursday when Barkley & Co. and Hower & Baker, the two butcher firms, demanded immediate trial of the charge made against them Thurs- i day by Willets for the alleged selling, l in the first case of hamburger, and in ' the second, hamburger and sausage, i alleged to contain preservatives in violation of the pare food laws, Squire Stone set the cases for trial for Tuesday. This will be, perhaps the first instance in the city, and two of very , few in the state, where the plea oi' not guilty has been made, and trials . demanded. Barkley & Co., have re- ' tained C. J. Lutz for defense and Hower & Baker, Peterson & Moran,' and will fight the charges to a finish. Hower & Baker’s trial has been set for Tuesday morning and that of the other firm for Tuesday afternoon. The i cases grew out of the visits of Wil-1 i lets to this city January 23rd. Both firms absolutely deny having used the meat preservatives, or keeping them in their place of business. Bark-, ley & Company do no butchering of their own, and buy their meats from

e packers which have passed governs ment Inspection. Hower & Baker i- dress much of their own meats, but a use no pu so vatives of any kind. Hie K fact that the pi . servatlves were alle,; s ed to ha e teen used In January, which was u month characterized by i unusually vuld weather. Is alleged by 1 them to be preposterous. i The G. R, &I- lailroad company, it , is said, has over 400 loaded ears of s freight on the sidetracks at Ridges ville, which it has been unable to han- • die or move for several weeks. It is said the condition is due to the large 5 amount of freight business developed 1 for the G. R. & I- company by the P. - C. C. & St. L. railroad company. f Two switch engines, it is claimed, - have been working at Ridgeville for i several weeks getting the loaded cars s off the dead tracks and started north sto their destination. As fast as a > train is made up and sent out of the 1 Ridgeville yards the P. C. C. & St. L. i company shunts In enough cars to refilfthe side tracks. It is claimed that between Ridgeville and Bradford Junction there are over 800 freight ; cars billed for Grand Rapids and northern points that have not been moved this winter. Many of the cars ' are filled with automobles and the , “kicks'’ registered would turn any mans hair gray, excepting, of course, 'G. R. & I. officials. A special traffic : * manager has been sent to Ridgeville to relieve the congestion. , I —o 1 Minneapolis. Minn., Mar.

B—(SpecialB—(Special to Daily Democrat) —It was believed here today that President Taft would not submit the arbitration treaties passed by the senate late yesterday afternoon to Great Britain and France.

B—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The department of agricultre today issued a report estimating that the quantity of wheat on farms March Ist to b° about 122,025 - 000 bushels, or 19.6 per cent of the 1911 crop.

C., Man B—(Special to Daily Democrat) —A new revolutionary outbKrK near Mexico City, 'and which threatens the capital, may . lead to an even more grave crisis in Mexican affairs, was reported to the department today.

The Williams meeting for the beet farmers held Thursday was a successful and dandy session. Messrs. Wagi ner and Hubbard were present and the farmers all signed contracts and made arrangements to proceed with\ planting and raising beets. The Willshire meeting on Wednesday was also a good one. though there are not as many farmers interested in that section as the company would like. —— The factory site is again a busy place, with about a hundred and fifty men at work, and more reporting each day.
