STARLING S leurifig the last few years a gttod deal has' been written and said ablaut Starlings, Many from the start o£ the ,controversy •have stated that efforts should be made to extinguish these birds. It now appears that most civ- eryone is agreed on this point. Jack Mhler, probably Canada's best-known laird lover and naturalist, has for a long time studied these birds and aboutthe only thing that he consid- yrs they are good for is making pie. The weekly newspapers recently hate been reporting that throughout the country these birde which are fast increasing in numbers, are becenning so destructive that, something should be done about it. Jack Miner says something .should be done immediately or they will be the worst pest Ontario has ever met. He says they are driving out some of our hest weed -seed- and insect -destroy rig song birds: They are the worst weed -seed distributors America ever knew. They are very ' destructive to fruit and vetetables and they are death to trees where they roost. The farmer has plenty to contend witOt. in the ordinary course of bis work but with this rapidly growing trouble he is up against a proposition that, is hard to fight.

'We recall the promises of wealth to be acquired over -night that , have never failed to draw money into some wild scheme.

These faddy diets are usuallyP re- sented in an attractive ananner. Sci- entific facts are ignored or misrepre- tented: 'We are.. told, for example, ghat we should not mix earbohydrat- es (cereals and starches) with pro - tits (treats, fesh and eggs). The promoters of this statement base their remarks upon the fact that the proteins are acted 'upon by the acid digestive fluids of the stomach, while the carbobydrates'ere digested by the alkaline juices of the mouth and the intestine, There le no foundatioat for the idea that the presence of carbohydrates and proteins together in the mouth, stonnuteli or intestine will interfere with the digestion of one or the oth- er.

There is no apparent reason why we should not eat, at the sante meal, toast (carbohydrate) and eggs or pleat (proteins) and potatoes (carbo- hydrate). • Our digestive system is quite capable of handling such com- binations of foods without difficulty, Health demands a well-balanced diet, and the way to secure such a diet is by eating a wide variety of foods. Safety is assured by includ- ing milk, leafy vegetables and fruits in the diet each day. Diets which are faddy are unsound. Diets which pro- mise everything will likely do harm rather than good. Health is a valuable possession. The body should be cared for along the lines of scientific knowledge and not according tothe unsupported statement of promoters of faddy diets. IMPORTANCE OF CULLING THE HERD (Experimental Farms Note) The cost of maitaining a.poor pro- ducing cow is as great as that of a high producer. The extra production secured, is ata low unit cost and re - Presents the return necessary to cov- er the overheard charges and.. leave a profit for the ower. For example, in 1932 twenty-five cows completed lac- tation periods at the Dominion Ex- periinental Farm, Nappan, N.S. Eight of these produced less than 5000 lbs. of milk in that period. These eight average 4521 pounds of 'milk, 241 lbs. of fat, "al a feed cost of $55.18: The remaining seventeen averaged '7373 pounds of milk, 376 pounds fat, at a feed cost of $68.88. The difference amounting to 2852 pounds of milk containing 135 pounds of fat was pro- duced at . a cost of $13.50, equal to 47 cents per hundred weight of milk lk or 10 cents per pound of fat, certainly much' lower than the average price received in any district in Eastern Canada, During the developrnent of the Grade herd at this Farm some years ago, it was found that heifers produc- ing an average of 3819 pounds of 4 per cent milk as two -year-olds, only averaged 4173 pounds as three -year- olds and 4800 pounds at four years of age. Those with an average of S5. 621 pounds as, two -year-olds increas- ed to 6819 pounds and 7238 pounds the following tyro years respectively. The poorer group returned over feed cost $14.08; $22.07 and $26.67 each year, while the higher producers av- eraged'$31.74, $49.90 and $56.57 res- pectively, or a total increase of $75.- 39 in net returns over feed cost in. the three-year period. Many farmers, who havekept re- cords eonsistentiy over. a Period of years, are in a position to -cull their herds intelligently and realize the value of this method of 'herd im- provement, Those not following this practice wolud find it profitable to do so, bath as individuals and in order that Eastern Canada may take its place as one of the leading live stock centres. in North America, a position it rightfully should have.
