THE AMERICAN WILD PIGEON.
"What a whopperl" remarked a
hearer as the oldest resident told that
a (lock of wild pigeons was so thick
he couldn't drive through It with a
two horse team.
But do you believe us when we tell
you n modern locomotive couldn't do
the stunt?
If the jack rabbit grasshoppers of the
west can stall a train, 2,000,000,000
pigeons ought to do it, and some flocks
were estimated nt that number.
In 1813, in Kentucky, a naturalist
counted 103 flocks In two hours, the
flocks Increasing in size and continu
ing to pass for three days.
"The air was filled with pigeons.
Tho sun was eclipsed. The continual
buzz of wings lulled the senses to
sleep, while their excrement fell like
snow."
But they went like the buffalo.
They were caught in nets. Their
nests were robbed of squabs, and even
droves of hogs were fattened on pi
geons. They were properly a species of
dove that live in the woods and roost
on trees.
Our tame pigeons came from tho old
world. About the only time they alight
on a tree Is when they are shot at and
missed by so called sportsmen who
continue the cruel practice of using
live birds for targets.
THE JACOBIN.
When you sang,
Dove, dove, sweet dove, fly down to me,
Fly from the housetop, fly from the tree,
you would surely have been startled
had a Jacobin fluttered down to your
shoulder. How dignified, how pretty,
they are in red, white, blue, black, dun
THE JACOBIN.
and yellow, their head, wing flights
and tall always spotless white!
The distinctive part is tho hood,
Vthich, radiating from a common cen
ter, is called the rose. This one is a
red rose. It is divided this way: The
soft feathers which come from the
sides to the back of the head and meet
above the neck form tho mane, nnd
tho3e which Join on the breast form
the chain, and all are as petals to the
rose.
The white head resembling the ton
sure of a priest and the hood resem
bling the cowl of his cape, the pigeon
Is called Jacobin after an ancient or
der of monks. To be ideal tho bird
must be close feathered, have long
chain, upright mane, tight, smooth
hood, short "down" beak, pearl eyes,
small, clean coral legs and feet, flesh
colored beak and toe nails. As the
Jacobin only has front vision, It excels
us in following tho advice:
, Don't turn to de right,
Don't turn to de let',
But keep In de middle of de road.
DON'TS-
Don't crowd stock In pens. Feather
eating.
Don't make roost slats too wide.
Crooked toes.
Don't watch the spigot with both
eyes while profit from tho buughole
flies.
Don't market tho old ragtags of your
flock and get mad If customers quit
and knock.
Don't knock. Tho man who contin
ually knocks is a nuisance nnd .stum
bling block.
Don't think the cold is any excuse
for you to neglect regular feeding
hours and cleanliness.
Don't resent advice or the opinion of
others. Give your own views calmly,
and be watchful for information.
Don't get into a big squabble over
small things. By such present indis
cretion you may lose future profits.
Don't neglect to follow up an ad.
query with a second or third letter.
Pcrseveranco Is the business getter.
Don't have loose llmo around for
fluttering wings to send flying into the
air. It ulcerates the throat and wind
pipe.
Don't forget that BklmmUk, butter
milk and the separated product are
better than meat preparations when
mixed in mash.
Don't stick the puff on the turkey's
face with a pin or attempt to lance it,
Press it gently and the water will run
from nostrils. OIre two grains ol

THIS WORLD FOR INDUSTRY.

And time Is speeding past.

To seas that rush around the world
In tides, tumultuous, vast.
It's spring, summer, fall, winter
A flash and .they are gone.
Six thousand years of day and night
Already round have spun.
The universe seems out of breath.
'It's all perpetual motion,
A whirling wheel In whirling wheels
Of air,' of earth, of ocean.
God never made a world like this
To nourish human drones,
Who let fair fields grow rank with Driers
And He a waste of stones.
This Is a world for Industry,
For good, strong, willing hands
That transform wastes to fruitful fields
And deserts to fair lands;
That snatch the lightning from tho
skies.
Lift pearls from ocean's bed,
. Dig finest gold from hidden hold
And riches round us spread.
O Industry, thou art the key
That opens magic doors
To Eden scenes of sweet content
And fruitful, flowery shores.
God never made this wondrous world
For him who sleeps and thlrks.
God made the whole wide universe
To bless the man that works.

KURIOS FROM KORRE3PONDENT8
Q. Is it correct that hens sometimes
change to roosters?
A. Sometimes as a hen gets old her
egg cluster withers, she quits laying,
puts on feathers more like the cocks,
her comb shrinks, spurs grow long, her
voice gets coarse, she struts and fights
and tries to crow.
Q. In the physiology class at school
the statement was made that a chicken
enn breathe through Its bones. Is this
true?
A. Beside lungs, fowls have nine
membranous air spaces or reservoirs of
air, which supply the lungs between
the periods of Inspiration. These ex
tend to the large bone of the wings
and other parts. If one of these bones
that communicate with tho outside air
Is broken, the fowl can breathe through
It.
Q. Have you ever used one innlo
with two flocks of hens? What was
your plan, and did the eggs hatch?
A. One season wo had a very vigor
ous cock bird and thirty hens. Not
wishing another strain, we divided the
hens Into two pens and placed the male
In the pens alternately. We changed
him every night. The results were ex
cellent. Q. What is poisoned ground? I read
this expression so often in the poultry
journals.
A. Poisoned ground is that which is
infected with animal and vegetable
parasites. The longer poultry is kept
on the same ground the more these
germs increase and the greater the
danger of contagion. To sweeten the
ground it should bo plowed and seeded
occasionally with rye or other grains,
and tho fowls should be changed to
other territory during the process.
FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS.
An open water vessel Is a good place
to freeze combs and wattles. The
hens slop In it, the litter and dirt soak
In it, and it's a general nuisance and
disease breeder.
Oh, brother, get your bank enlarged!
Prosperity's a-comlng;
The mints are starting up again.
I hear the wheels a-hummlng.
If you thought eggs were In the sky,
Just wait a short time, dear.
They'll all like golden eagles fly
When better days are here.
The big broiler plants aro now ship
ping their beautiful butter ball birds
to epicurean customers. Butter balls
nnd Scotch highballs nre favorites
with after theater dinner parties and
often result In a beautiful "midsum
mer night's dream."
A chicken thief at Altoonn, Pa.,
when almost caught, turned and threw
a rooster into the face of his pursuer
and then escaped. Tho thief consid
ered a fowl return Is no robbery, but
the man knocked down swears that it
was "adding insult to, injury."
President Roosevelt has ordered 70,
000 acres of woodland on tho Califor
nia and Oregon line to be reserved for
tho protection and propagation of na
tive birds. The California poultry
men who raise fruit and berries
mustn't shoot them when they steal
the cherries.
The census states there are 280,000,000
head of poultry In the United States.
Illug out the old, ring in the new
with a resolution to make 1009 the
top notch in production and quality.
Don't bother about prices, for, if
thoy're way up in a panic drear, where
will they be when prosperity's here?
The Hamburg lays the smallest egg
of any breed, except Bantams, and yet
Its egg sells at the same price per
dozen as eggs twice tho size. When
the now rule is adopted it will bless
tho customer. It will give cold storage
companies a good whack, for thny lose
a largo part of their eggs by evapora
tion. When selecting your breeding ducks
pick the fellows with large, broad,
bright yellow scoop shovels with the
bean on the end, for much depends on
a waddler's capacity to put away grub.
Cut those out with humpy backs,
lumpy legs, and flappers, narrow
chests, loose wings nnd turned up
tails.
So you exhibited. Well, it did you
good whether you won or lost It's
educative. To the real fancier it is
an inspiration. If ho wins, he deter
mines to hold his place; if he loses, he
determines to breed better birds and
try again. No true sport knocks. If
he loses he doesn't bawl like a calf
and play the bull in the chicken coop.
