They liked to listen to him because he talked of quarreling and that was almost as much fun as quarreling, es pecially when they were feeling a trifle weary and wanted a rest before the .next quarrel. "Tho sparrows build better nests than we do. They have leather-lined nests. Hut we do not care what sort of nests we have. We don't mind In the least, if we make our nests with feathers or string or cloth, or any thing which ls handy. "Any kind of a nest suits us! "We" up very poor housekeepers.

SAYS LE&FEDEZiA IS THE ?EST Friend of the Southern Farmer- "A . Dread Assertion, but True.*' "Lespedeza is the farmer's best friend," says Dr. A. B. Young, of Zachary, La., a successful Louisiana farmer. Dr. Young admits that this is a pretty broad assertion, but Bays its truth is easily proved. "Like other clovers and all leg umes," continues Dr. Young, "lespe deza reaches out and takes nitrogen from the air, stores it up in the nod ules at the roots, and leaves the soil much better for its having been there, lt is more easily and moro quickly cured than any other hay, testing out a higher food value ind giving a better balanced ration than any, not excepting alfalfa, and "an be fed indefinitely without irritation to tho kidneys, as ls the case with alfalfa. It will not salivate nor bloat any animal whatever, as do othnr clovers. Stock prefer it to any other pasturage, and they wax fat upon ;t." Dr. Young thinks that no farmer who pants oats should over fail to sow lespedeza on his oat land fr.nu March until June, as this crop will restore much of the nitrogen taken up by the growing oats and will af ford an excellent pasturage after the oat crop has been taken off, or it will yield from a half to four tons of hay, according to tho fertility of tho soil, without any extra cost except tho top ping of Hie woods and tho harvesting of the crop. Many will say that lespedeza will yield better on poor land than on rich, but Dr. Young does not find this to be the case. lie does find, however, that poor lands, planted to this crop, soon become very rich 1? nitrogen. Rich lands have been known to yield four tons of choice hey per acre, while poor lands the first year may not yield more than a half a lon. A good crop of lespe?ez? hay will permit a farmer to turn much of lils corn or oats into money, says Dr. Young, because by selling the oats or corn he can spend a little of that money for black-strap molasses to pour over the hay to supply all the carbohydrates needed, and a little more of the money for cotton seed meal, which will regulate the protein element. This combination makes the best balanced ration, as well as the cheapest, that can be found. The fine hay produced by the farmer sup plies all the roughage and a good ; percentage f.f carbohydrates and pro tein, while the cotton seed nt eal and molasses ?an reg?late '.ho ian two : elements at will. Ono pound of outr i ton seed meal is equivalent to three I pounds of grain in protein content, ' and molasses is almost wholly carbo . hydrates. ' ! ?Dr. Young says that at least 25 pounds of lespedeza seed should be ? planted on an acre if the 'best results ? aro to be obtained. Any farmer, any j where, wishing to plant lespedeza ' seed correctly can obtain all neces sary data, absolutely free, from the Lespedeza Seed 'Growers' Co-opera tive Association, Baton Rouge, La. The foregoing organization 'is com posed of experts on lespedeza hay and seed and its proper cultivation. If desired, they are in position to supply comparative analysis of hay. LOS ANGELES FEELS SHAKE. Windows Shattered and Frame Build ings Shako with Earth Tremors. Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 18.-Severo earth shocks were felt in many sec tions of Los Angeles last night, shat tering windows in somo quarters and shaking frame buildings. There were nine distinct shocks between 7.10 and 8.30 o'clock, which agitated many residents. Many believed them to be earth tremors, while others attributed them to big gun practice of four dreadnoughts of the Pacific fleet. Naval officers at San Pedro and Los Angeles harbor said the 'battle ships were too far away for concus sion to be felt. 'At Venico and Lo-ig Bondi, moro than twenty miles closer to tho dreadnoughts than this City, no shocks were felt. The shocks were of such extent here that from several places it was reported that residents left their homes and congregated in the streets. Cracks In plastering were reported from some residents.
