SOClAEluiTY OF BIRDS,
Several Species That Flock Together In .
Friendly Way.

several species Ahht rtocN Aoxetner IN :.
Friendly Way.
There are very few species of birds
which are not sociable, although
somo give only the slightest evi
depce of il, Many there arc which
arc exclusive in their nesting habits,
but which meet in common with.
others of their kind to feed. This is
we'll illustrated in our common loon,
which rcars its young on the smaller
lakes and ponds, vet is frequently
seen in parties of three, four and
even more on the larger Mixes, and
that, too, at nesting time. One of
the old birds remains at home with
fine eggs, while the other seeks COM
pany even mt distance.
Again, VIC have instances of a so.
cial feeling connected directly with
the breeding season. Many herons
nest together, forming rookeries of
thousands of birds and crowding so
closely that the limbs often bend
with their weight. l have seen n
hcronry containing over 200 nests,
and Is nest, in u single troo 1t may
be that these birds mass together for
protection but there is nothing to
prove that this is the case, for the
hustle and confusion about largo
heronry arc sure tn attract boys who
climb fer tho handsome blue eggs
and unscrGpulous gunmers who kill
them in great mum bnrs Moreover,
if numbers secured protection, it
would be reasonable for thu smaller
birds to nsst together in colonies,
but'this is not the case, excepting in
"a few instances, and many of our
smallest species, as the drumming
bird, select isolated quarters.
This propensity far s1ci!lility is
not confined to love for species and
kindred ana can be shown to b far
removed from, sexual relations, fer
different species of birds often flock
together. All arc familiar with the
mixed focls of rcdwing and rusty
blackbirts as the autumnal micra-
ton takes place. Thoy assemble in
the tree tops and discuss matters in
high key, and as two languages
are spoken tho discordanco is terrific
Perhaps it may he said, as these
birds arc of a color, that

but it may readily DO shown that
even difference in size as well as
species may not prevent sociability
and comranionship. In the fall it is
not uncommon to sec thrco or four
species of ducks in one flock, flying
or foeding Littoral species often
flock together, there being not rare
~ four distinct kinds in one small
group on the edge of tho lake, and

These birds of similar habit in feed
ing were pleased to travel south to-

NEWS OF THE STATE.

A startling illustration of the aw-
full power OF electricity was given ut
Swanton one day recently during II
thunder storm. A iour-year-o!d colt
on the farm of L. p. Smith was
killed during the shower. Being a
valuable animal Mr.. Smith and his
boys searched every dav, and We'd
nesday found what was left of the
colt in the woods back OF the pas
ture. Under Il small tree, which is
black as by fire, were the bones
stripped of every particle of flesh.
There were few scraps of hide.
part of the tail and the hoofs were
separated from the skeleton. The
head lay a few feet away as white
and clean as if the flesh had been
boiled off. The smell of burning
hair and flesh led to the discovery.
Calvin ID. Bigelow, Il prominent
Lyn.lonville farmer and president of
