he handles. Messrs. G. F. Moore &

THE WOOD DUCKS FIRST SWIM.
How the Mother Gets the Little Ones
From the Nest to the Water.

now Ine hOtner Gets the Little Ones
From the Nest to the Water.
A few miles from my home there is Il
lake that has for years been the abiding
place of colony of wood ducks I have
spent hours along the shores Watching
these prctticst of water fowls. The wood
duck has one popularity not possessed
by other members of the duck family
it builds its home high up i'll the cavity
of some decayed limb, usually one that
juts out over the water
The eggs, from seven to 10 III num-
Der, are creamy white i'll color House
keeping is begun i'll May, and the young
are ready to leave the nest carly III juno.
| was curious to know how the little
ducks reach the water from their lofty
homes. / had often seen them, when
hardly clear of their shell, swimming
about with their mother and felt con-
WINGED that they never could have left
home unaided
One bright June morning fortune IA
vored me. | had rowcd along the lake
shore to pay a visit 10 houscful of
noisy rcd wing blacllbirtls. My boat was
lying motionless among the tall cat
tails that fringcd the shores of the lake.
Suddenly heard u loud splash behind
me, and turning to look l saw on tie
water short distance away, Just shak-
ing the spray from her wings, a female
wood duck and near her two tiny yelhssy
balls, so small that they rcscmblod wa
ter lilies floating on the surface.
The old bird took wing, lowered aud
circlcd above her babies for few min
ntcs and then flew to cavity III q tall
tree, short distance away. In short
time the male bird, arraycd in the hand
soonest of plunagc, joined his mate
Then for Il few minutes [ could hear Il
soft cooling noise, which reminded me of
husband and wife discussing some i'm
portant point relative to tho welfare of
their children
The cooling soon stopped and the moth
cr duck appeared in the doorway Of her
home. Then she dropped toward the wa
ter at a slight angle. AS her breast
struck the surface she immediately
dived, and where her body had been l
was surprised to see two little ducklings
though they had been travelling in the
water for years.
The routine of flying TO the nest was
repeated four times i'll rapid succession,
and each time it resulted in an addition
of two to the family in the water, which
kept growing until it numbered 10.
Then the mother duck swan ont in the
lake, followed by her brood, while the
male bird brought up the rear of the
procession, acting, no doubt, as a guard
and protector.-C. S. Shick i'll Phila
