"If, however, you seek your fortutie in a big city, then endeavor to gain admission to otte of the large offices.

'As an unemployment measure to relieve mutticipafities and comnnuti ties between Toronto and Hamilton, the Ontario Government is proceeding this Fall with construction of a third highway to Hamilton, Premier Hen- ry announced last week, Plans for completing several sections of the highway, which includes four bridges of large dimension, are being prepar- ed under the direction of Hon. Leo- pold Macaulay, Minister of Highways. The work, in part, is to be conducted in conjunction with the Federal and Ontario Governments and the munici- palities and will be one of the largest Government undertakings. Cost is not stated but it is likely to employ 3,000 or 4,000 men. Premier Henry stated he had intended preceeding with the first piece of construction as a Government measure, from the end of pavement. on. Queen Street to Port Credit. Since then. Mr. Macaulay has adtieed further plans to relieve un- ployment west of Port Crediton to Hantilt.t». The route west of Port Credit proceeds westerly to near Oak- ville where it turns slightly south and thence west to Aldershot and Hamil- ton. The four bridge: to be construct- ed will be over the Credit ane Eeobi- ceke Rivers and Sixteen and Twelve Mile Creeks. The section west of the Credit likely will be done on the basis of contribution from the two govern- nteets and municipalities. 'Work will probably commence by November 1. and those to be employed tri:1 be drawn from the municipal and rural emn'eyntetit list.

HAWKS AND OWLS Two of the birds most often shot as hen -hawks are the red-tailed hawk and the red -shouldered hawk. .They have loud, piercing cries that at once attract the attention of a man with a gun; they are large, conspicu- ous birds, easy to see and follow as they sweep in wide circles over the. fields; compared with the real poultry thieves, they are slow flying hawks and easy to shoot. This explains why so frequently they come to an untime- ly end. The range of the red -tail covers the whale of the continent, and as the bird is a powerful one, it would be a dangerous one to the poultry -keeper if chickens made up any large proportion of its food. For- tunately. however, its food consists chiefly of mice, with a fair proportion of shrews, rats, squirrels. gophers, rabbits, grasshoppers, beetles, frogs, snakes and crawfish, Once in a while it takes poultry and a few birds are on the list but the great good that this hawk does by destroying rodents pays many times over for an occa- sional chicken. The size of the bal- ance in its favor is apparent from these figures: Of five hundred and sixty-two stomachs examined, only fifty-four contained poultry or game birds, and fifty-one contained birds of, other kinds; two hundred and seventy eight, however, contained mice; one hundred and thirty-one, other rod- ents; thirty-seven, frogs, toads and snakes; forty-seven, insects; eight, crawfish; one, a centipede; thirteen, offal; and eighty-nine \vere empty. In proportion to the area of its range, the red -shouldered hawk, a bird of eastern North American only, is even more beneficial than the red-. tail.. It seldom touches .poultry, and el probably the only wild 'birds that .it t captures are the sick and decrepit 1 ones, On the other hand, this splen- 0 co. Some years ago a pair of these birds spent the summer in one of the towers of the ,Smithsonian Building at Washington, and later two hun- dred. pellets that w'ere scattered on. the floor were examined. In these pellets were found four hundred and fifty-four skulls; of these, two hun- dred and twenty-five were the skulls of meadow mice; twenty, of rats; six, of jumping mice; twenty, of shrews; one, of a star -nosed thole, and one, of a vesper sparrow. 'Lord LiPford once observed a pair of barn owls carry food to their young seventeen 'times in half an hour. To test the capacity of a two-thirds grown owl, he offered it all the mice it would eat. It took nine before it reached its Limit. Best known, prdbabhy, of all our birds of prey is the little screech owl, which ranges over the whole of Can- ada and the United States. The far- mer 'who kills this bird is negligent of his .interests.. During the day the screech -owl gives no sign of its pre- sence, but at dusk it suddenly appears at the entrance of its hiding place; a hollow appletree or a hole in some building,—a,td without the slightest sound, it passes into the air. It drifts through the orchard, over the barn- yard and round the corn ricks, with its bright eyes wide open, and its sharp talons ready to fasten on the thieving mice or rats. If a nest box with a three inch ene trance hole is put up for it in the or- chard, this little fellow may often be induced to take up its residence on a farm. In •ottr village I know of at !east two of these nest boxes that are occupied by screech owls. If space permitted, I should like to go on and tell of the gentle little sparrow -hawk which destroys millions of grass- hoppers; of .the tiny elf ow -I, five and a half inches long, which makes a specialty of kilning beetles, and of a long list of other .useful' birds. I could prove by =indisputaib.le evidence that most hawks aid o'wl's' are of great value to -persons who get their living from the soil. In the 'birds of prey, the farmer has helping hitt, a great army of feathered, workers- workers ,who labor three hundred and sixty -foe days iu the year without wages, except for a chicken -now and then schen the hunting is poor; with- out lodging, and wititottt even "the teed of supervision. Their very lives epend on their performing their du- ies faithiful'ly; therefore they never oaf, .never ask a day off, and never go n strike. did bird wages unceasing warfare on: mice and on many kinds of injurious insects; besides these, its food con -.1 gists chiefly of frogs, toads and snakes. Although I have often ob-' served red -shouldered hawks in t'he breeding season; and have 'watched 1 them closely from the time their eggs were batched until the young were ready to leave the nest, I have never seen one of the parents carry a chick- en or any ether bird to its young. It would be hard to find a more beneficial bird than the barn owl, or. as some call ;it, the monkey faced owl, an inhabitant of the southern part of the United States and Mexi-1. Your Asthma Too, The efficacy af Dr. J. D, IZellogg's Asthma Remedy; is not Something merely to be hoped for; it is to be expected, :It seldom fails to bring relief, and in your own individual case it 'will do the same, So universal has been the success of this far-famed remedy that every otte afflicted with this disease owes it to himself to try it, The first volume of ,the 'Scottish National d10tionary, work on which was started 24 years ago, just has been published.
