Let us set down some of the good
elements in the character of Queen
Esther:

humble home and a foreign race, she
did not forget her friends and rela-
tives when she was promoted sudden-
ly to the highest office in Persia open

did not forget Mordecai who had cared
for her during her childhood, nor did
she forget the people of her own blood,

came, she showed herself their helper
and benefactress.

THE CHILDREN'S
HOUR
OUR FEATHERED FRIENDS -
TRE BLUEBIRD.`
BY LEREINE BALLANTYNE.
One of the first arrivals among our
feathered friends is the Bluebird. He
conies with the Robin and the Meadow-
lark. Sometimes he is the first of the
three to greet us, so that apart from
his other virtues, be should be welcom-
ed•each year for the glad herald that
we know him to be.
The bluebird's are' brave little fel-
lows, and very confident. That they
trust us is evident from the fact that
they build in orchard trees, birdboxes,
and sometimes the nests abandoned
by woodpeckers.
The bluebird wears a pretty coat of
light blue with a vest the color of
brick -clay -a sort of reddish brown.
This brilliant coloration, together with
its gentle ways and murmuring notes,
make this bird quite a prized addition
to any garden or place in which it
cares to make its hone.
Because it feeds mainly upon injuri-
ous insects, it is highly beneficial, and
can in one season work a tremendous
amount of good in one locality. Weed
seeds also form an important part ,of
its food, and though it eats a small
percentage of soft fruit, practically
no cultivated kinds are taken by it.
We can therefore regard it as a con-
sistently useful bird.
How lovely it would be if we could
attract a few of these pretty feather-
ed friends to our homes. If they could
be persuaded to use otir bird boxes,
would it not be a charming sight to
see the little flashes of. blue darting
among our trees, and when we con-
sider the number of insects ` those
bright little eyes can detect as they
go up and down each branch, would
we not find them valuable Iittle friends
to have around'the lawn or orchard.I

Observations on Hog Grading.
There is some confusion in the
minds of hog raisers between the
"thick smooth" and "select" type of
hog. One has only to observe hog
grading in practice, and to discuss the
matter with graders, to learn the pre-
cise difference between these two class-
es of hogs. The difference is not a
:natter of weight so much as type.
Many very good types of Yorkshire
and Tamworth hogs weighing from
200 to 220 pounds have to be classed
as thick. smooths. They fail in one or
two particulars. For example:, length
and smoothness of shoulder are essen-
tial factors in a select hog. If it fails
in either of these points it does not
earn the premium. Condition of fat-
ness is also a deciding factor. What
used to be regarded as a finished hog,
that is, one with a well rounded back,
does not. suit the bacon trade. When
split, the carcass should show� a unite
form thickness of fat from 114 to 1111
inches down the full length of the
back. The practiced eye of the grader
is able to decide fairly accurately just.
!how a hog will kill out. Until hog
raisers can get these points establish-
ed in their minds, they will not fully
understand why some of their very
good bred and bacon type hogs do not
get into the select class.
