Others similarly tempted will locate in the south country, win re the rainfall is ample, but the soil so sterile that a crop is only possible wk'-n the value of It is expended in artilieial fertilizers to prodttee it.

WII \T IS AMI WH AT IHtitlT ttR. All entirely possible crop of corn within the liniiis id' the corn belt Is 7." hushels per acre, or double what the average crop is in any of the corn growing states. Such a crop is not possible on land which is corned every year or just rotated with other cereal crops.

An owl, a pair of hawks, a ] vireo and a solitary wood thrush were | the only tenants of the big woods. Is ( it because the birds find they are safer i In the vicinity of man. or that they find a better supply of food? Or may they not be moved by the same impulse j which attracts people from the country to the city? We cannot tell. We watched a few days since a cock sparrow tussling away with a snrangly weed stalk which lie had found in ids effort to so arrange it that he could i fly away with it to the nest under the eaves of the barn. lie could not get it in right shape somehow, and after making numerous efforts he was going to abandon bis job. .lust then down flew the hen sparrow, and* the llrst tiling sin' did was to light into her lord and master anil give him a good mauling.
