Birda are among man's most practical friend®, for they destroy
harmful Inaects and the seed of ugly and poisonous weeds. Let us
acknowledge this friendship by arranging to have the school children
observe Eird day this year in connection with their Arbor day
exercises. We need trees and birds, and everyone ought to under-
stand their value and encourage their propagation.

Here's Grandmother's Recipe to
Darken and Beautify
Faded Hair.
The 8wallow.
St. Thomas Aquinas said: "Where
the birds are, there are the angels."
St. Thomas, it Is true, said it in Latin,
and the rendering given Is a bit free,
but it expresses what the good man
meant. The saint is credited with be-
ing a homo lover, and there Isn't much
doubt that he had the swallows ln
mind when he spoke of birds and an-
gels ln the Bame breath.
Most of us who have reached middle
life lived boyhood's days ln the coun-
try. A surplus of sentiment Isn't nec-
essary to make one connect angels
with the old home where the trees
were, the river ran and the swallows
nested. The country-bred boy knows
the swallows better than he knows
other birds.
The sight of a forked-tail swallow
"hawking," as Bradford Torrey puts it,
through the city streets in spring
makes the city man homesick as does
bird's red breasts, they called them
English robins. The red of the breasts
was responsible for the name, the
sight of it being a reminder of the
other red-breasted bird in the home
fields over the sea.
in a few remote places ln New Eng-
land the bluebird still bears the name
which the Pilgrims gave, but every-
where else throughout the American
continent it is the bluebird and noth-
ing else. It is one of the few of the
American feathered species which
manage to keep one name in nearly
every community ln which they dwell.
The bluebird is a bird of the heart
and of the home. It loves the com-
panionship of man and it will build
its nest and dwell through the sum-
mer wherever It is made welcome. The
bluebird is a sweet creature, for If
there are any vices among its multi-
tude of virtues man has yet to turn
them to the light.
Alfred Tennyson did not know the
bluebird, but it would seem that he
must have heard an echo of Its April
note when he wrote:
.... And In my breast
Spring wakens, too; and my regret
Becomes an April violet.
And buds and blossoms like the rest.
The Bobolink.
The bobolink is a summer reveler;
the bee is drunk with bloom, and why
not he, this bacchanalian bobolink?

suggest means to turn back a city-
ward tlight of tho swallow. It might
not bo a waste of energy, however, to
devise a method to turn a few of the
swallows to the city, for a glimpse or
two of them, with the engenderer
yoarnlng for the old home and things
bucolic, might solve the deserted farm
problem.
The swallow found Its way into {he
hearts and the homes of the people as
long ago as Aristotle's time. This
much we know, for the philosopher
speaks of it. and there Is no reason to
doubt that the swallow held his place
in man's affection during the years of
the life of some philosophor who was
as much earlier than Aristotle as Aris-
totle Is earlier than the philosopher of
today, if there be any philosopher of

The Hermit Thrush.
It Is possible that an adequate trib-
ute to tho song of tho hermit thrush
la beyond the range of human poetic
I ondeavor. The poets have not dared.
Tho song is hymnlike and it has a cer-
| tain purity and sanctity of tone that
mark the singer as the fit soloist, of
the temple in the wilderness.
It is the wild places far removed
from man and his works that the bird
loves. He seeks no audience for his
sinking. We must go to the northern
woods and there wait until the shad-
ows lengthen and the hush of the eve-
ning has come down to hear the her-
mit thrush break tho silence with his
vesper hymn.
Tho Voice is pure music. No other
bird singer in America and probably
no bird singer in tho world can ap-
proach the hermit thrush in the melo-
dious quality of its notes. The song
would be declared sad wero it not so
uplifting. It Is a prayer and song in
one and it seems to hallow the wilder-
ness.
The hermit thrush loves equally the
low-lying woods and the forested
mountain tops. It chooses one or the

bling. It Is all of these and pome-
thing more. It is the very abandon of
music. The bobolink while singing
seems to be in a perfect frenzy. He
is tipsy with glee; he actually stag-
gers in his flight; for he cannot rise
above tho meadow on a summer morn'
lng without attempting to beat time
with his wings to his own music, and
the wings cannot keep the pace.
It was a bacchanalian element ln the
singing of the bobolink which ap-
pealed more than anything else to one
of tho humbler poets, Christopher P.
Cranch. Mr. Cranch has made the
most of that which struck him as the
dominant tone in the reveler's music.

The Kentucky Cardinal.
Until a writer who loved the cardi-
nal gave it the name of his state those
who knew the bird were content to
call it by its scientific name, the cardi-
nal grtisbenk. Science and poetry are
far apart. James Lane Allen did not
claim proprietary rights in this bird of
glowing plumage, and his book mod-
estly enough was called not "The" but
A Kentucky Cardinal."
The cardinal has small place in
poetry. James Lane Allen has given
it an enduring place ln prose. Of the
cardinal's habits of standing stanchly
by the home fields when tho snow files
and the other songsters desert, the
Kentucky writer has this to say:
"Lo! some morning the leaves are
on the ground, and the birds have van-
ished. The species that remain or
that come to us then, wear the hues
of the season and melt into the tone of
nature's background—blues, grays,
browns, with touches of white on tall
and breast and wing for coming flecks
of snow.
"Save only him—proud solitary stran-
ger in our unfriendly land—the fiery
grosbeak. Nature ln Kentucky has no
winter harmonies for him. He could
find these only among the tufts of the
October sumach, or In the gum tree
when it stands a pillar of red twilight
fire in tho dark November woods, or
in the far depths of the crimson sun-

servance has been its effect ln im-
pressing upon the minds of the young
people the value of trees and the ne-
cessity of conserving all the natural
resources of the country.
As a school festival it ha« spread
not only throughout the whole United
States but far heyond borders.
The time of the observance of Ar-
bor day varies greatly ln different
states and countries, being determined
somewhat by climatic conditions. In
many states of the Union it is com-
bined with Bird day. In general the
date is early in the year ln the South
and is set further along toward sum-
mer in the more northern states.
A clean and beautiful town is a
source of pride to its citizens and a
constant Incentive to them to go on
and do better. A slovenly town Is apt
to mean slovenly inhabitants. Nothing
so helps to beautify a city or town as
trees; and nothing so educates the
people ln public spirit and foresight
as the care of trees.
Recently Arbor day has begun to be
used as a means of stirring up inter-
est in roadside planting, first in cities
and then in rural communities. The
city of Newark, N. J.. is doing model
work in this line. There is a special
shade tree commission, which issues a
map of the city on which are shown the
streets that are in their care and the
variety of trees planted on each, a
leaflet giving directions for the plant-
ing and care of trees along the streets
and a general Arbor day pamphlet. In
one year nearly 3,177 trees were plant-
ed on 40 streets. Many other cities are
now organizing the work of tree plant-
ing on the streets, and in every case
Arbor day Is used a3 a means of arous-
ing public interest. In 1913 the United
States bureau of education issued a
bulletin entitled "Good Roads Arbor
Day." In which were set forth the ad-
vantages of planting trees along the
highways.
Some objection has been made to
trees along the roadside on the ground
that they hinder drying out after wet
weather. This holds good if the road
la poorly built; but trees are actually
an aid in keeping a well-built road dry,
if they aro not planted too close. The
roots by constantly taking in water as-
sist in drainage, and the tops by break-
ing the force of driving rains prevent
washes in the roadway. The most im-
portant use of trees by the roadside,
however, is the prevention of dust.
Dust is the cementing material in
macadam roads, and If it is loosened
and blown away the breaking up of
the road is hastened.
The greatest value of Arbor day lies
In its effect upon our attitude toward
the trees that are already growing; for
manifestly there are thousands of
trees of natural origin to every one
planted by man. The average citizen
is only now beginning to care for these
trees.
Partners have been in the habit of
turning their cattle in to graze on
their woodlands, where they break ofT
and destroy the young growth, trample
and injure the roots of the larger trees
and pack the ground hard, thus not
only destroying the future forest but
shortening the life of the trees that
are already growing. The Arbor day
student who has been taught to plant
and care for trees will, in after years,
no more think of turning cattle into
I his woodlot than Into his cornfield.

It has Just issued a certified statement
of its operations for the years 1912,
1913, 1914 and 1915. This Company
has had for the past few years about
1300 acreB in wheat and between 200
and 250 in oats. The total operating
and general expenses for 1912, includ-
ing interest at 6% and depreciation at
15%, were $12,587, for 1913 *17,506, for
1914 $18,729, and for 1915, $29,804.43.
Expense per acre of land in crop was
$7.80 in 1912, $11.57 in 1913, $11.70 in
1914, and $17.87 in 1915. Total re-
ceipts were $15,531 in 1912, $30,661 ln
1913, $31,589.87 in 1914, and $62,520.26
in 1915. The percentage earned upon
capital invested was 6%% in 1912,
30% in 1913, 23 1-3 in 1914, and 50% in
1915, in which year it paid a cash divi-
dend of 58%.
The Company's statement shows
that the average dates of finishing
