The übiquitous' sparrow (says the “Dominion”) was the subject of some interesting-remarks by Mr. G. W. Kirk, F.L.S., during a- discussion at the Fruitgrowncr’s Conference, as to whether more German owls should bo imported. Mr. Kirk stated that during a series of experiments he had carried out lie had found that the sparrow had five broods a year, each brood averaging six birds. Over a period of twelve months it was found that the sparrow’s insect food was only 6 per cent of the whole. No power on earth would exterminate the sparrow in New Zealand, .said Mr. Kirk, and if the German owl only kept the- sparrow in check he would earn his wages. “My appetite’s bad—can’t seem to improve it.” Try Stearns’ Wine of Cod Liver Extract. It creates an appetite for nourishing food. It tones* up the whole system and gives you rich, red blood. The lesson preached by “An Englishman’s Home” is to be followed up with the production, by the National Service Jjcaguo, of another play, Is at ion in Arms,” which was to bo produced at Home under the patronage of Lord Roberts, is intended to teach the lesson of the need that exists for the Britisher to defend his country.
