Investigations Show That They Do a Great Deal of Good and Little Harm to Farmers. That thrushes—the group of birds in which are included robins and bluebirds—do a great deal of good anil very little harm to agriculture is the conclusion reached by investigators of the department who have carefully studied the food habits of these birds. Altogether there ere within the limits of. the United Slates 11 species of thrushes, 6 of w-hi^h are commonly known as robins and bluebirds. The other 6 include the Townsend solitaire, the wood, the veery, the gray cheek, the olive-black, and the hermit thrushes. The robins and bluebirds nest close to houses, and even the shiest of the other species are content with the seclusion of an acre or two of woodland or swamp. For this reason the thrushes are among the best known ttnd most carefully protected of native American birds, and at times their numbers become so great that it Is feared they will do much harm to crops and fruit. The recent investigations of the department, however, show- that there i! very little ground tor this fear. On the other hand, they destroy such a vast number of Insects each year that it Is probable that without them manx crops would suffer serious damage. Of all the thrushes, the robin Is probably the best known. It has been frequently accused of destroying fruits and berries, but it has now been ascertained that this only occurs in regions that ate so thickly settled that there is no wild fruit upon which the robin may subsist. In some years the bird is a great pest in the olive orchards of California, but it is probable that they are driven to the orchards because of the scarcity of native berries at these times. Where a wild fruit is available, the birds seem to prefer this to the cultivated varieties. Like the robin, the bluebird is very domestic, but unlike the robin, it does not prey upon any cultivated product or work any injury whatsoever to the fruit grower. During the fruit season in fact, five-sixths of its food consists of Insects. It seems, therefore, that the common practice of encouraging the bluebird to nest near houses by placing convenient boxes in which it may build its home is thoroughly justified. A detailed description of the habits of the robins and bluebirds Is contained in Department Bulletin No. 171. Bulletin No. 280, whirlt has just been published, takes up the habits of the six other species of the thrush group which are not quite so well known. These birds also feed principally on Insects and fruit, but a great portion of the fruit which they consume is wild berries. Domestic fruits are eaten so sparingly by these species that the damage done is quite negligible. The bird known as the Townsend solitaire is noted chiefly for its song, which is said to be at ti nes the finest of any of the thrush family. This thrush, however. confin ,, s itself almost entirely to the mountains and gorges o' the other hand, is di-trihuted over the eastern t>; rt of tte United States, and Is a frequenter of open grot.-s and brushy past tires. This thrush also Is noted for its sweet pong, especiall • in the early evening. It does not rest in the gardens nr orchards, however, and ri seldom seen about faTm build Ings, so that many people who are familiar with Its song would not know the bird by sight. Ti e wood thrush consumes a number of very harmful inserts, such r-t the Colorado point3 beetle and white grubs. The fruit which It eats it usually picks up froi* the ground Instead of taking frr-h from the tree. There Is therefore re rrason why the wood thrush should net he rigidly protected.
Why Colds are Dangerous.
You are oircn z::: to “beware ot a cold,” but why? We will tell you: Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers tho vitality anj paves the way for the more serious diseases. People who contract pneumonia first take cold. The longer a cold hangs on the greater the danger, especially from the germ diseases, as a cold prepares the system fer the recer tion and development of the germs of consumption, diptheria, scarlet fe-
ver and whooping cough. The pitch.' er you get rid of your cold, the less th e danger of contracting one of these diseases. Chamberlain’s Cough Rem edy has a great reputation as a cure j for colds and can be depended w^on It is plesant to take. —Adv.

THE FARM WOODLOT PROBLEM. The farm wood-lot problem may be put In our words. It is the problem of making the wood lot pay. Farmer! can no more afford to keep unprofitable land than they can afford to keep unprofitable cov. a. Idle land which is not growing more valuable is like a boarder in the dairy herd: it eats up part of the profit made elsewhere. Good farm management rnay or may not call for the opening of an actual book account with the wood lot, but every good farmer needs to know at the close of the year whether he i« richer or poorer for hia timbered laud It costs money to hold land. Kvtiy acre meana carrying coat. The tenant farmer pays this coat In rent. The man who works Mr own fatm should he able to earn at least rent and wages. If he sold his farm and quit the money In a good saving!* bank it would yield him a yearly income without the lifting of a finger. Hir farm is an investment. It should be a paying investment. A bank which paid no Interest would be a poor place to put savings. So a farm which doe:* not yield Its owner and user a fair re turn on his investment as well as a fair return on the labor and Industry of himself and hla family Is a poor place to work. Its possessor Is paying for the privilege of owning it instead cf making It pay him for what has been put into if. If the wood lot does not directly or Indirectly ronipcnssfe for taxer, and inte rest allowance on us value, It Is not doing its share toward making tjie farm pay. It is being carried at a net loss.
