It consisted of one large green caterpillar iSphingldae. several potato beetles, and a few fragments of pea. My conclusion was that the law peas taken had been well paid for. However I hung an old coat on a pole near the pea vines, and the birds came MSf them no more. AH of the above innervations were made In the state of Iowa, which was one of the first states to suffer from the attacks of the tteetles on their eastward march. Since then this habit of the Gros beak has been confirmed by thousands at observers in all parts of the country where the potato beetle and the bird are found. As this insect Is eaten by but few species of birds It Is especially desirable thst this one. that eats it so freely, should be preserved and its increase be encouraged In every possible manner. Forty years ago this bird was rare In Now

I believe It is possible to prevent its depredations upon peas (the onlyharm that I have ever heard it accused oft and its value as an insectdestroyer forbids its wanton destruc

The secret was out when be shyly began the ascent of another oak. In the branches of which a pair of the redbreasts had built their nest His Utile eyes glistening and his whole manner that of a thief, he moved up the tree trunk, and had almost reached the little blue eggs la the nest when the mother bird and her mate saw him and flew down from their upper perch. They were on Mr. Squirrel In an instant, and the fur flew when their beaks got into action. The retreat of the squirrel was quickly effected. The watchers were amused. Then s second time the rob her advanced, and was so successful as to get one of the eggs in his paws before the birds came to the rescue The squirrel was nonplussed, as he couldn't back down wit': the egg with the birds pecking him. and he was loath to relinquish his hard-won prize. His hesitation was fatal, though, as the birds, with s concerted rush, fslrly shoved him out of the nest, and the robins followed him so quickly snd furiously that the egg was dropped snd smashed on the ground. The squirrel then gave up his purloining expedition Philadelphia Record. BIG NEW SHOE BUILDING.

CURING CLOVER HAY.

Only Such Amount as Can Be Safely Cured and Stored Should Be Cut. Where a hay loader Is used, it Is sometimes advantageous to ted clover hay twice to get all the dampness out Of it before putting It in barns. Where the hay is loaded by hand from cocks r piles, this is seldom necessary, ('lover hay. says the Orange Judd Farmer, should never pat is the mow hes damp, with the expectation that it will cure out in mow. If the weather is very brittle, as it s last year In this latitude, small mounts should be cut so that too ' ich will not be down at one time.

Chamois Skin of Conferee. Charles C Pruedling. of Philadelphia has written an article for the American Journal of Pharmacy on the subject of chamois skins What Is known in the market ss chamois skins he says, is really an oil tanned sheep or lamb skin lining. The supply of skins from the chamois anlmsl is wery limited enough could not be obtained In a year to supply the V sited States for more than a single day. He made special Inquiry on s recent visit to Switzerland about the annual crop of the chamois skin and ascertained that from S.000 to .000 skins would be a fair average yearly crop This skin is heavr than the skin of the sheep or lamb, also much coarser For strength an iurnMlity the chamois skin is preferable, but for ordinary use and appearance the oll-tanned sheep skin lining would, in most instances, be preferred.

It Is Dedicated by the W. L. Douglas Co. st Brockton. The dedication a short time ago of the new administration and jobbing house building erected by the W. L. Douglas Shoe Co. ss a part of its mammoth manufacturing plant at Montello was marked by the thoroughness and attention to detail characteristic of the firm in all its undertakings. The dedicatory program included open house from 11 a. m. to 8 p. m. with concert by the Mace Gay orchestra and the presence of a Boston caterer to attend to the wishes of all. The building Itself afforded a feast for the eye, especially the offices, which are marvela in many ways. Fifteen thousand invitations were sent out. Including over 11.000 to the retail dealers in the United States who handle the W. L. Douglas Co. shoes,

the others going to shoe manufacturers and all allied industries In Brockton and vicinity. Mr. Douglas will be glad to have anybody who is interested call and inspect the new plant, and says "the latch string Is always out" AII departments of the plant were open for inspection, the three factories as well as the new building, and visitors were received and escorted through the industrial maze by exGov. Douglas, assisted by the heads

of the various departments. Under the present system all shoes are manufactured to order, and customers sometimes lose sales waiting for shoes to arrive. With the new jobbing house they will be enabled to have their hurry orders shipped the same day they are received. The new building is 260 feet long and 60 feet wide and two stories in height. The jobbing department will occupy the entire lower floor, while the offices will occupy the second floor. The jobbing department will carry a ' complete stock of men's, boys', youths', misses' and children's shoes, slippers, rubbers and findings equal to any job blng house In the country. Bayers are especially invited to come here to trttde, and every effort possible will be made to suit their convenience. There will be a finely appointed sample room on the second floor, with an office in which both telephone id telegraph will be Installed, with operators, both Western Union and Postal Telegraph wires to be used. There will also be arrangements for the receipt and despatch of mall.

A woman who has used Postum Food Coffee since tt came upon the market S years ago knows from experience the necessity of using Pos turn in place of coffee If one values health and a steady brain. She says: "At the Urne Postum was first put on the market 1 was suffering from nervous dyspepaia and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally 1 decided to take bis advice and try Postum, and got a savage and had it carefully prepared. Hading it delicious to the taste. So I continued its use and very soon its beneficial effects convinced me of ita value, for I got well oi my nervousness and dys pepsin. ' My husband had been drinking coffee ail his life until it had affected his nones terribly. I persuaded him to shift to Postum and It was easy to get him ts make the change for the Postum la delicious. It certainly worked wonders for him. "We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate or depress and does cot stimulate, but steadily and honestly strengthens the nerves and the stomach. To make a long story short our entire fami y have now used Postum for eight years with completely satisfying results as shown in oar fine condition of health and we have noticed a rather urxpected Improvement in brain and nerve power." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.

Intoxicants in Vegetables Vegetables not only contain stimulants but are capable of producing an Intoxicating influence on those who depend on them exclusively for food, according to an investigator. He cites a case in which some young people of his acquaintance suffered from partial intoxication as the result of a purely wegetable meal.
