Some animals and also birds have very extraordinary 'tastes for different foods and ,drinks' Suite apart from those with which Nature has provided them, and it is do the knowledge of. these peculiarities that the skill of the trapper Iles. So marked is a monkey's taste for an intoxicating liquor made from the fermented juice of rice that this drink is invariably used for trapping these creatures: Dears are very partial to -alcohol, and many of the performing varlety find thele highest reward in honey and beer, or rnm•and•water F. 2 mixed with sugar. Canaries delight In eating lettuce, which is well known for its narcot ro srtie and d they111 eat it to sure p P w an extent as to leave themselves stupifled for a long time afterwards. Foxes, ordinarily the most cunning and, consequently, the most difficult to capture of animals, readilg suc- cumb to a trap baited with the body of a dead oat, Stoats, weasels, etc„ the bane of the gamekeeper, are seldom 'proof against a trap sprinkled with oil from fish.

Increase of knowledge means increase of production. The first essential, for the highest yield is good seed._ Not only grain. growers, but breed - ere and all producers are making his- tory at this juncture. Value of the crop 1s increased if treated for smut prevention, Failure to secure suitable varieties is a frequent cause of poor ensilage. All grain intended for seed should he cleaned- and graded-, in order to retain only the strong kernels, Farmers who have separate houses for their laborers have no difficulty in securing help, Good labor is- worthy employment in, winter as well ,as in. spring, 'sum- mer and autumn, 1f labor is scarce now, it will not be more plentiful in another year, so it is' wise to encourage pre- sent help. A bureau of employment could find useful work in every town of size. Austria has decreed that every acre must be utilized kir production. Was- ting laud Is the worst form of ex- travagance, . Live stock is the foundation of pere manently successful farming today, as it has always been. The farmer who conserves This best ; stock for breeding will profit greatly in the future. When manure Is pilled and allowed to heat, the vitality of most of the seeds is destroyed.; but when, drawn to the field front the stable, or not left'long• enough in the pile to be- come well rotted, manure is one of the most important means of seed dispersal. Cianacia is many tines larger in ar- ea than Belgium, but in 'population, there is not a great deal of differ- ence, that is, considering' Belgium be- fore the war.
