Some three weeks ago, Court
Carbaugh, who is working for
Walker Richards on the F. McN.
Johnston farm in lower Ayr town
ship, was taking the horses to
water, when one of them kicked
him violently on the breast frac
turing one rib, and bruising him
severely. About two weeks la
ter, another horse kicked him in
the face. Fortunately the horses
were not shod; for had the first
been sharp, Court would likely
have missed the kick that came
from the second.
Chambersburg had the great
est poultry show last week ever
held in that place. These shows
are not intended merely for the
entertainment of the public, but
for the poultrymen who desire to
place in contrast all breeds, as
developed by different fanciers.
Great strides have been made
within the present generation in
the development of the poultry
industry, until the value of eggs
in the United States now almost
equals the total value of the
wheat crop. No matter how rap
idly the business grows, the de
mand seems to keep pace with
the supply, and eggs are steadi
ly going up in price in the cities
every year. i

that killing a Hawk of a protect
ed species must lay them liable
to prosecution, the same as for
killing other species of protected
birds or animals,
It is not uncommon for persons
who have shot Hawks to stretch
them out to the gaze of the pub
lic, by nailing them on boards or
trees along the roadside near
their buildings. This is a display
of cruelty and ignorance. A per
son doing so at once shows how
little he knows of the habits and
value of some of Nature's crop
preservers and man's best friends
These Hawks in most cases are
the Red-shouldered and Red
tailed species, commonly, but
wrongly, called Hen Hawks,
which are protected by law ex
cepting when actually caught in
the act of attacking poultry. At
such time it is legal to kill them,
but they live most of the time on
insects and mice and rats. The
number of grasshoppers and cat
erpillars that they eat in a season
is remarkable, while the damage
done by mice is so great as to be
appalling. Hawks and Owls are
the chief enemies of the mice in
fields, orchards and woods. They
should be preserved for the sake
of saving the crops on trees.
All Owls are protected in Penn
sylvania excepting the Great
horned Owl, and consequently,
the smaller or more uncommon
species of Owls, such as the Red
or Barn Owl, also called the Mon
key-faced Owl, the Short-eared
Owl, the Long-eared Owl, the
Barred Owl, the Acadian Owl,
the Saw-Whet and the Screech
Owl all are protected by law at
all times.
