Being a resident tho year around. It Is a common visitor to alfalfa fields us soon as snow leaves. During a s e r i e s of careful tpsts 27 of these hlrda were collected In April, and the weevil, which wus found to comprise one-sixth of their food, was present In all hut seven. One bird had taken 75 adults, another 60, and three others 51, 48 and 33 respectively. Other animal food la Important, as the largest single Item was caterpil lars. amounting to nearly 22 per cent. Ground beetles amounted to about one- eighth of the food. Fxamlnatlons show that, at least from April to July, this bird Is not a P lant Trained to Three Stems. In the open held.

A good collar, fitting the horse’s neck, and hames adjusted to fit tho col lar without too great down and side draft will do much to prevent sore shoulders, says Dr. M. H. Reynolds, veterinarian at the Minnesota college of agriculture. Sore shoulders can he prevented easily by a little care at the right time. "Collars must be kept clean to avoid soroH Many cases of sore rt<*k are caused also by loose hames sawing back and forth until the top of the shoulder Is raw. “ Some horsos have abnormally shaped shoulders.
