acquired a cardboard taste and it had a linseed odor they placed milk in a cool dark place and even after a week the milk showed no offensive odor or taste after a thorough test these experts gave out the information that in order to prevent odor and disa greeable taste milk should be care fully guarded against sunlight in their tests the milk acquired the undesirable state within a few hours after milk reaches the kitchen it is usually placed in the refrigerator and ia thus insured a cool dark storage place but it may have bocn standing on the steps in the direct rays of sun light for several

even when crows have been seen among the hills of sprouting corn and have been shot on the spot i have always found tho stomach contained quite as large an amount of insect re mains as of corn the cutworm form ing one of the crows choicest articles of diet and the question arises as to whether it is not better to let the crow have a little corn and get rid of the cutworm than to let the cutworm take off a lot of corn if we get rid of the crow this opinion is expressed by charles w nash in bulletin 218 of the on tario department of agriculture he believes that crows are not so black as they are painted and that though their number should be reduced it would be a mistake to exterminate then scheieh a german investigator says that no less than 78 per cent of 375 crows examined fed on insects es pecially noteworthy is the number of injurious insects and their larvae des troyed 178 crows had devoured cut worms 133 maggots and 92 weevils of vaiious species including some very injurious sorts animal food is of special value to nesting crows at that time they tako eggs and attack young birds but be cause this animal food includes a num ber of insect pests scheleli declares emphatically that tho nesting crow is of special assistance to agriculture it is a dangerous experiment to exter minate a bird or animal for by doing so we may disturb the balance of na ture crows are regarded by many natur alists as belonging to the highest family of birds they make mis chievous but most interesting and amusing pets they are so intelligent and well able to take care of them selves

who carry on the business of the british empire yet it is true true of the present parliament and of all past parlia ments many of these men fought in the great war young olive baldwin for instance w

to escape he stowed himself away in an open truck of a luggage train under a tarpauiin and after all sorts ef hardships at last reached safety very ready dead with hunger ci sed by ax ostrich another little adventure of his was being held by the heels over the par apet of the famous blarney castle so that he might kill the blarney stone mr churchill has also learned to pilot an aeroplane speaking of mr churchills african adventures calls to mind the experi ence near ladysmith of the late sir joseph walton formerly member of parliament for barnsley he had left his horse to walk up the hill to an old camp when he was tackled by a big cock ostrich it was the breeding sea son ard the bird was savage sir jo seph bolted for a laager of rough stones and got on the wall the bird followed striking up at him viciously with its huge claws the blow of which is worse than the kick of a horse fortunately it was unable to reach him sir joseph hurled stones at the bird but only made it more frantic at last he managed to lure it round to the far side of the laager then bendin double he bolted across the enclosure and raced for his horse he reached it just in time and gal loped away vainly pursued by the bird when the lion charged another legislator the late mr philip glazcbiook was on a shooting expedition n somaiiland when a lion sprang right into the camp and seized a donkcv one of the party
