THE MIGRATORY BIRDS. In' view of the fact that there evidence tbht not only the public, but, in many instances the press of the country also, is under the impression that the decision just rendered by Judge John C. Pollock of the federal district court at Topeka, Kansas, in which he holds the federal law for the protection of migratory birds to be unconstitutional, is thefinal’adjudication on that . statute, the following statement correcting this erroneous" impression has been issueo by President John R. Burnham, of the American Game Protective association: “Conservationists * need feel no alarm over the Kansas decision. The' supreme court of the United States now has on appeal a case from Arkansas ift which the constitutionality of the law will be finally passed upon. That csse lacks certain import- . ant elements, favorable to the sus-

taining of the law, which the Kansas case, which will be incorporated with it, will provide. In h. sense, then, Judge Pollock’s decision is a welcome one to those who are working to avert the destruction of the wild bird life of the country. “The Kansas decision is the third that has been rendered by federal judges on the law. In Arkansas, Judge Jacob C. Trieber on May 22, 1914, held the measure unconstitutional, while in South. Dakota, Judge J. D. Elliot on April 18, 1914, held it eontsitutional. It is to be remembered that the law is in full force and effect and will doubtless lie vigorously enforced, by the-United States bureau of biological survey everywhere in the United States, with the the exception of the jurisdictions 6f Judges Trieber arid Pollock. ’ The solicitor general of the United States has asked, the supreme court for if.s early consideration fo* th test case as is possible, but ft may be that, it will not lie reached be - ore next fall. We are hoping to have if. passed upon this spring.” The federal law provides protection not only for game birds but for most of the country’s most valuable song and insectivorous spec&s as well, adds tlie Lafayette Journal.

April gets its name front Venus, who was the Lillian Russell of mythology. she married Vulcan, and the weather we have jn April fairly typifies the way they got. along. Vulcan was the first business man. He did <„ general vulcanizing and repair business on the Appian Way, and was busy at the shop from morning till night. When things went well at the shop ; he had no objection at all to gping home and finding his wife dressed up to go out. Ho felt like going out himself. Night-

ingales sang in the conservatory, the sweet fragrance of the Egyptian lotus was borne through the house by balmy winds, and Vulcan wrote 1 checks like a drunken sailor. He was a typical business man of the more 1 forceful type, and strongly resembled Charles M. Schwab. Cupid was their son. The spectacle of Vulcan bounding Cupid on his knee, while the loveliest of all women set on the arm of her husband’s chair and pressed her cheek against his,' was called the most peaceful and restful on Olympus. It was exactly like those bright days in spring when the garden grows, when the white cherry blooms are •breaking out, and the thoughts of young folks turn to love. But, like April, there was another side. Vulcan would sometimes not have a good day at the shop. The men would not get the right consistency in the rubber, or something of that kind; Probably the business lost money. At such times Vulcan went home with thunder in his face. So far from being that lovely creature whom all the gods had coveted, for themselves, his wife struck him as a butterfly and a bridge player. On such occasions things danced in Vulcan’s house. The neighbors were terrified by his great voice uplifted in rage. There would occasionally be a terrific bang. Cupid hid in the dog house. A storm, everybody said. Thus April typifies the most roman- 1 tic marriage in history. The Romans said the analogy was perfect—even to All-Fools’ Day, when they all said at the wedding only beautiful things.

The eager calf will sniff the breeze And do She turkey trot for spring, AVhile deftly dancing through the trees The festive bobolink will sing. The plumber will collect his bills Arid journey west to see the fair, The rpbin will intone his trills Upon the soft and balmy air, The waking hired man will shed Eleven pair of winter pants, The playful goose will blithely tread The vast, ethereal expanse, The changing temper of the days Will mark the last of winter gone, And in the night the mole will raise His love's initials on the lawn.

There is no other time of year possessing quite the charm of spring, when young spring onions reappear and all the birds return to sing. One wants to storm the Dardanelles of one’s more functionary iot, to shoot Ms liver up with shells and rouse his gizzard ivitli a shot. How fancy pictures on the view the good ship Sas.sa.lfa;; advance! How rashly daring is her crew! How little there is left to chance! She sights the hockworm in hip fort upon the Oriental, shore, and. drops him with a lorid report to kick the bucket- o'n the floor. She sees spring fever in his trench, and drowns him deftly with a Shell. Site spies Fort Agile on a bench, and leaves it paralyzed as well. Her flag shook out, a fig for mines, for submarines or parapets, she goes right on between the lines* as if the foe were suffragettes!

The waking frog will raise the voice of six Carusos in the night, and all the poets will rejoice for what is beautiful and bright. Tht farmer on his tractor plow will gaily, tool about the farm, the kingbird swinging on the bough will wait for doodlebugs to swarm, the ice cream suit will take the air on pretty Sunday afternoons, the world will turn to greener tare from canned asparagus and prunes, the picture show will move outdoors where failing plot>> Jan get their breath, the tramp«will holystone the floors and do the carpeting to death, the cow will show a redder plush against the field of green velour, the bright spring ballads of the thrush will render musical tire moor, the heart of .humankind will thump for love, in spite of its regrets, and all ttte girls will make us jump exhibiting their pan taletfes.

Alas! for war—except for that We might rejoice without re- ■ . straint. And all our hearts go pit-a-pat’ For joy ,of papering and paint. The shadow of that great to-do Is ever cast upon us here; It makes our daily humor blue When it were,,otherwise of cheer They cannot knock a Moslem fort Upon its back, or shoot a Greek Uuf one can hear the.dull reportIn Dun or Bradstreet in a week. A plague upon their houses all. And on their warriors a pest— We take no part in all their squall. But still must suffer with the rest

There will be nothing especially new about the war in April. The attack on the Dardanelles will continue a picturesque feature of .that fool business, but the grand opening everywhere has been set for May, and there will he no further indication of how the war is going before that time. Since the failure of the spring equinox- and other astronomical phenomena to ibring the participants to their senses, nothing of that nature will be attempted in April. The moon will simply pass through its usual phases, being full on' the 29th. President Wilson will run another month in his now famous drama, “Don’t Rock the Boat.” The Mexican revolution, which has been keeping Lent, will be a little live-

lier. Japaji will continue in the role of the international cut-up. The first twenty days of tjie month will be under the influence of Aries the Ram, the first sign of the zodiac. He has thus far failed to do anything, and on the 20th we will shift to Taurus the Bull, the second Taurus has sometimes proven ‘efficacious. One can never tell. Then May will make her sweet advent, And where we have the harsh perfumes Of powder, we shall have the scent Of hyacinths and cherry blooms.

Yes, We Have 'Em Here, Walt.

His lot is strewn with broken dishes, tin cans, old shoes, a long dead pop, but he ignores the house wife’s wishes, and will not clean the rubbish up. His wife remarks, “Go, spade up the garden—what are your thews and muscles for?” And he replies, “I beg your pardon—l have to talk about the war; Josephus Jinks and Hiratn Horner, and sundry other friends of mine, are waiting for me at the corner, to talk of Russia’s battle line.” “The roof is leaking, to my sorrow, and you should fix it while it’s dry.” “i'll let it slide tyitil tomorrow,” the husband mutters, in reply. “The news from France Is most exciting—l want to know which side will win, and I downtown must now go, ski ting, to see the latest bulletin.” Away from home he blithely chases, to loaf, when he should earn a scad, to join the idlers keeping cases on Nicholas and Hindengrad. When winter once again carouses, with blizzards from the Arctic pole, he'll patronize the free soup houses, and work the village for his coal.—Walt Mason, the Poet Philosopher.

The Corn Root-Aphis.

Thousands- of dollars are lost' to the farmers of Indiana every year by reason' of the depredations of this insect. It belongs to the suckling class or true bugs, and does its work on the roots of the corn plants where it sucks the life out of the plant. Being wholly under ground, it is difficult to reach with insecticides.

These aphids are usually attended by ants, as the latter are very fond of the “honey dew” which is given out by the aphids through two little tubes, which are situated on the back of the adult insect. The ants even gather up the aphid eggs- and store them in their nests where they are cared for during winter. During April-and May, as soon as the smart-weed and foxtail-grass make their appearance, these eggs begin to hatch and the ants carry the aphids and colonize them on the roots of these plants. As soon as the young corn plants are well started, the second brood of lice begins to appear and the ants transfer them to the corn roots where they continue to increase with great rapidity, and to suck the life out of the corn plants. *■ ' . Remedies—-It is evident from the above, that the land seldom becomes infested with these aphids until the second or possibly the third corn crop. If, therefore, a three or four-year rotation is practiced in which, corn appears only once, there will be but little damage done by the insects. Then, too, the proper fertilization of the soil is of great importance, as it often enables the corn to make a crop in spite of the aphids. As the ants protect the eggs in their nests during winter, it is a good plan to plow the field, which is intended for corn the second year, as late in the fall as possible and as deeply as possible, in order to break up the ants’ nests. A couple of good, thorough, deep cultivations during the month of April will also help to hold them in check. This will also assist in destroying the weeds which serve as a starter for the ! aphids in the spring.

Various kinds of materials have been tried with a view to finding { something that would act as a repe-1-lant and so prevent the lice from attacking the plants. We have found that one hundred'pounds of kainit per acre, drilled in the row at the time the corn was planted, served to almost completely protect the plants; but, owing to the European war, it is quite likely that it will be difficult to get kainit this season. Dr. S. A. Forbes of Illinois, has found that by mixing the seed corn with a solution of oil of lemon and wood alcohol, the lice were very much 1 reduced. This Was prepared for use by mixing one part of the oil of lemon with ten parts of alcohol, and three ounces of this mixture was thoroughly mixed with a gallon of corn, fhis did not injure the germination any to speak of. The expense was only about ten cents per acre, At the present j trice of the oil of lemon, the expense w’ould be even less. Either of these remedies is recommended,.especially on black ground, where the aphis is commonly found. J. TROOP, Chief in Entomology Ptirdue Univer- , sity Agricultural Experiment Station.

The Soldier’s Easter Song. Air: Tipperary. Back from gory battle came a soldidr Easter Day. The streets were full of people in their Easter garments gay; Silver bells were ringing in the steeples overhead, The soldier he was wounded, and this is what he said: % “It's a long way to glory, it's a long way to go From the dim and quiet churches where the Easter lilies blow. Good-by to home and comfort, farewell to sweethearts dear, It’s a long, long way to glory, and my heart's right here.”

When the soldier joined the colors he was full of thoughts of fame, But he found among the trenches that they never spoke her name. Coming home upon a furlough with his right arm in a sling, He was strong for peace eternal when the chimes began to ring: “It’s a long way to glory, it's a long way to go The route is marked in crimson with the blood of friend and foe. There’s a girl I want to marry, we have waited ’most a year, It’s a long way to glory when my heart pis here.” “I would rather have a cottage, and a garden and a cow, Than a V. C. on my bosom, and a laurel on my brow. War has. led me through his sham hies till my soul is worn to rags; Give us peace the wide world over, fold away the battle-flags; It's a long way to glory, it’s a long way to go, It’s a long way to glory and the hardest road I know. From the snowy Easter lilies may the dove of peace appear, It's a long, long way to glory, for my heart's right here.” —Leslie’s.
