In a recent paragraph The Man Who Talks to such Bulletin readers as are not interested solely in base- ball or the German-made war re. marked that in view of the ost universal human admiration for pluck, he wondered why we didn’t take more interest in the plucky liftle winter birds. A coal shortage which prevents us from warmly heating up all our en- closed and roofed-in houses is a ca-| lamity over which we make raucous complaint. But, when my thermome- ter wag dancing attendance on the twenty-below-zero degree marks, a week or so' agq, littlestots of birds, who never feel a touch of. artificial warmth and whose only shelter, day and night, is the lee of some tree branch or the knot-hole in some tree trunk, were cheerfully, nay, ‘even gaily, hopping and fluttering and twittering around my buildings. ~If they felt the extremejcold they didn’'t show it. There is always much litter cause he eats our clover and beans; the {abbit )oecausle he girdles our young trees; the wed squirrel and chipmunk because they're every- where; the grey squirrel and muskrat because they have useful fur; the oc- casional 'coon and the artful fox and the jmalodorous skunk because of the harm they sometimes do us; and, again, perhaps two or three-others. ‘We generally - know pussiey and catnip and quack-grass because the pesky things force themselves upon us, whether we want ‘em or no; we can recognize cowslips or wild smn- ach because they're good for greens; burdocks because they catch on our clothes and yellow doeck because it's a good “Spring medicine;” dandelions and daisies, of course, and, again, a very few others which happen to be special pests in our .particular lucal- ities, . ‘We know a house-fly wheén we see it; a mosquito when we hear.it; a wasp or bee when we feel it; a po- tato-bug and a striped cucumber bee- |~ men out of the first thous- nd to whom questionnaires have been ‘majled by the local exemption board, Judge John M.

NORWICH TOWN Meeting of Lathrop Memorial Society’s —Rural Association Helps’Safeguard Walks—Plain Hill- Boy Finds Zero Weather in North Carolina. A good number came together Wed- nesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Waiter Potter on East Town street to attend the January meeting of the First Congregational Lathrop Memo- rial soci Mrs. Potter read the re- port of the December meeting. The next meecting will be in March. The third chapter of An African Trail was studied: The Bulu's belief in their origin, their views of the Creator, their reverence for ancestors, their manner of life. A set of questions and answers prepared by the president, s Susan C. Hyde, concerning board rk in Southern Africa, proved very interesting. Good Work of Rural Association. One of the duties of the president of the Norwich Town Rural association |is to look after condition of sidewalks. Uptown people ‘are largely indebted to the Rural association for much work' done gratis in years past, and many improvements. A. W. Dickey gave largely of time and strength dur- Ing the many years he was president. The calling attention this winter of householders to their icy sidewalks by the president and in most cases the cuick response has doubtless prevented bad falls. One serious fall on an icy walk this week has been a warning, and walks are being sanded and stretches of ice more carefully looked after. Money and interest is lessened now when other calls are many, but physicians’ fees and expenses attend- ing broken hones count up faster than contributions to the Rural association. Where No Coal'is Needed. An uptown resident received a letter Thursday from her sister in California telling of beautiful weather; carna- tions, roses and calla lilies in bloom; no frosts are mentioned yet, and no coal is needed. Zero Weather in ‘North Carolina. Imbert Fellows of Plain Hill wrhes of zero weather, yS u&r;, . toran around a farm barn-yard, and the lit- tle' creatures hopped around in it as busy as bees. They would perch for a few min- utes an a fence or a roof ridge, in the tull sweep of the Arctic cold, then flutter down and pick up some seed Which their keen eyes had noted in the litter. A minute's lively scratch- ing 'round to see if another happened to be handy, and tken back again to some cat-safe vantage to preent them- selves and make another reconnois- ance. | watched a couple of the tiny things, onc of those coldest days, till my own fingers encased in sheepskin mittens and my own toes in felt com- binations began to stinz- with pre- monitions of frosting. Their abso- lutely bare legs must have been cold. Everything else was, anyway Yet they didn’t show ' it. They scratched and. they flew about in short fiights and they met occasion- ally to be eure thatthey both were all right and I jeft them at it to scurry back where the kitchen fire was Toaring and the big stove glow- ing with grateful warmth. As I trotted along the partly shelt- ered path from the barn to the house, a droning “Whoo-whoo? far away to my left told me that a big old owl was sitting up there on.some. branch of an-old tree on the Hil ridge, exposed to all the wind and cold, and an- nouncing the fact that he was still doing business as usual, thank you. Looking out of my window, a few minutes Tater, T saw a deer step over the elght-wire fence of my orchard ‘and begin pawing away the snow for the frozen apples which its keen scent kad indicated to be lying-there. It was still so engaged when the oncom ing darkness forbade my further ob. servation. It seemed to mind the cold no more than the dickey-birds or_the hoot-owl. - T dow't know much about birds or deer. But I wish I did. I'm 'most too 0ld to begin, now. It is a con- stant regret to me that, when I was younger, with more time and more vitality, T didn't use a little of my waste enerzy in finding out some- thing about the wild life which fills | my environment. I've known that Man Who Talks to zet up at the first streaking of dawn, plant himself, with fleld-glass- in hand, at a window overlooking a gnarly old plum tree, sit there for{ fwo hours In perfect illness and quiet, watghing, admiring, studying and trying to understand the pretty feathered residents who nest there and the numerous visitors of their own shape who came casually fiying by or to take a minute’s rest or make a morning call—not always friendly, —on ' the nested occupants. After breakfast T've had him tell me of at least a dozen species which he had recognized, besides others which he wasn't vet quite sure of. Almost in- variably he would add the touch of some little discovery his watching had enabled him to malke in regard to their habits, either of feeding or of housekeeping. That interest of his has smoothed away many an irritation or vexation born_of his bothersome calling, and has kept him young at heart despite the inexorable years. But, 60 far as my observation and | acquaintance . zo, if is a very rare farmer who knows the names of more than a dozen birds or a dozen com- mon weeds. Here we live, right in the midst of all the wild life there is of our lati- tude, the most of us wholly uncon- cerned and willingly ignorant regard- ing the biggest three-quarters of it. ‘We know the owl and the hawk, because they steal our chickens: the crow because he pulls our corn; the mis-called “robin”—migratory thrush, —because he robs our strawberry beds and cherry trees; perhaps the cat-bird because of his ear-torturing squawk, the phoebe because of her clear note, the whip-poor-will of course, and maybe two or. three more. We also know the woodchuck be- 7 home, and hard to endure. ; Heard About Town. Mrs. Robert Staplin of Washington place spent last week with friends in Hartford. Mrs. A. G. Thompson of 'Washington place is visiting her son and his fam- ily in Waterbury, ¥ K. of C. representatives were up- town Wednesday making collections for the war fund. Fred Maynard of Fisher's Island is spending some time with his brother, Earl Maynard, on Vergasoll avenue. , After several weeks' stay in Provi- dence and Attleboro, Mass, Mrs. May Joslin has returned to her home'on, Vergason avenue, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Vergason mo- tored here Wednesday from Providence to visit at Mr. Vergason's former home on Huntington avenue. ‘Mrs. Frank- Dougherty of Hunting- ton avenue has left for Springfield, Mass., where Mr. Dougherty has been employed for the past few weeks. Mr. and. Mrs. Ernest Taylor and Mr. and. Mrs; Jesse Rogers of Leffingwell vmt‘e‘t’l‘ \in the week at-the home tle because they damage our crops; a cabbage moth because it populates qur cabbages with millions of " de- structive green worms; a. cut-worm because it pesters our gardens and-a tent caterpillar because it ravages our orchards. But we know, and too many of us seem sublimely willing to know, very little about the habits and lives' of even these: mext to mnothing of the numberless lother ipecies which not force themselves on us by active and persistent opposition to our farm- ing operations. Years ago I remember asking an old farmer what was the name of a tall weed I had foind unusually plentiful in one of his fields. “That?” he re- sponded with unconceaied contempt, “Oh, that's some Kkirid of d—d char- lock.” I know of ceveral country flower- gardens into which the fair owners transplanted roots of the Orange Hawkweed, when that first appeared in my neighborhood. They - thought it rather a pretty flower, never dreaming that it was one of the worst ‘weed-pests known to parts of New England, Only by accident did T later learn that the old farmer's: ‘charlock” was the evening primrose; and also the true character of the Orange Hawk- weed. Perhaps my knowledge of the first dld' me no practical good, but my discovery of the second has en- abled me, by taking its scattered col- onies in hand promptly, to keep my own fields fairly. free from it Almost every day in the year's open season, I see or hear some bird which I do .not know. Just as a matter of intelligent interest, T wish T did. Almost every day, when working in y gardens, I come upon some un- known or 'at least unnamed weed. know anything is a “weed” in an n-bed which isn't an onion! \Ierd) as a matter of intelligent in- terest I wish I knew them all. Almost “every day in my fields or on my crops I find unknown species of insects. Are they x‘uends or en- emies? - Are they eating my crops or are they -eatinz the bugs which do eat my crops? Nine times out of ten I don’'t know. Not only as a matter of intelligent interest but for the sake of crop protection, I wish 1 did, Heaven pity the man, be he farmer or anvthing elee; whose only interest in Tife is bound up in getting food on to his plate- to fodder himself with \We have spent most of our time @t that occupation, it is true. -Our fates or our faults keep most of our noses on the grindstone, rather stringently: But merely living or getting that with which fo live is a function which we share in common with every beast and bird and bug that flles or runs or creeps. It is solely an animal pur- suit. And ‘we are:something mdre and better than mere- animals. Aren't we? » Whether a farmer would raise big- ger crops or make more money if he knew all his beast--bird-bug-weed nejghbors I dn't know. Or care. That he wguld find a good deal more to interest him in his work I do_know. That he would find some of his tasks a little lightened .I firmly be- Yieve. That he would broaden and ripen into a melidwer manhood I am con- vinced. Once it was said by a very wise man that “Knowledge is power.”. It is a truism to - say that even the scrappiest and most unrelated accu- mulations of knowledge frequently come into effective play in practical concerns. The little item of knowl- edge you pick up today about some seemfingly trivial matter may save you steps or trouble or' pennies at some Tuture exigency. But knowledge is something more than power. It is wealth. Wealth of the only sort which neither moth can eat nor rust corrode nor evil chance destroy. Wealth which cannot be taken away, because it is inherent in bl and inseparable from its possessor. It is the finger-post to eucless. True. It is also the sgateway to larger life; the road to fuller content- ment; the stairs climbing to attain- ment. We haven’t any of us enough of it. We can’t any of us have to much of it. We old farmers are too far along to put ourselves to school, mow. The doors are closing behind us. one’ by one, and the shadows = deepening ahead of us. We have had our day. For its use or misuse we have paid, are paying, and shall pay the eter. nally fixed price. z But T appeal to all other old fel- lows whose heads are gray mot to put any hindrance in younger ‘men: not to sneer at or decry any reaching out on their part to- wards wider knowledge: mot to op- pose but rather to encourage and help in all ways possible to us every dawn- ing desire shown (in tha? Jounger generation for a fuller understanding of and a closer sympathy with all the varied forms of Nature. THE FARMER. LEDYARD There will be,services at the First Baptist church at 11 a. m. Supa.y .
