SWALLOWS AT THEIR GAMES.

Sometimes They Chase . Hare OF
Disturb a Cats Repose.
Swallows can fly very fast and very
far. If it were not SO, they could not
take the long journeys which they do,
leaving England inthe autumn and
returning in the spring. This quick
flight enables them to catch insects
on the wing on which they chiefly live;
also, it enables them to escape bird
enemies of the hawk tribe sometimes,
and, perhaps, shots which may be
fired at them by men. Often do we
see them flying, as it seems, just for
the pleasure which they have in rapid
motion, going in circles round the top
Of q lofty house or church spire, drop
ping now and then, only to rise again,
till the whole party suddenly darts of
in another direction. A gentleman
Walking n morning across a large
park saw q number Of swallows hav-
ing quite q game with q hare, though
tho poor animal did not seem to like
the performance. The hare was run
ming very fast, and at first the gen.
tleman wondered why it was, as no
dogs We're near, but directly after he
noticed some swallows coming close
to the ground, and they SKINNED past
the hare's ear close to the ground,
evidently giving her the idea that they
were going to strike her, though, when
close, they took a sharp turn. Then
they disappeared, and the hare stop
ped to listen; presently they returned,
and again the hare ran till she got hid
among the underwood.
Still more curious is the story which
q clergyman tells us Of a scene he
witnessed between some swallows and
q cat. Pussy was sitting upon the top
of q gate post in a sort of doZe, in
which we often see cats when they
are lazy and not hungry. Puss' repose
vas interrupted by the arrival of a
swallow, which few close to her head.
She raised her paw to strike it, but
was too late. Another swallow, q min
ute after, did the same thing, and
again puss made IN unsuccessful blow.
More swallows dashed past her just
in the same way, till ten or eleven had
gone by, which sounded like q laugh.
Next the whole party few round puss,
forming a circle like a wheel. This
was too much for her-she jumped
down and retreated. Swallows have

Feather Eating.

Recently speaking on the subject of
feather eating we referred to the
prevalent s%upposition. that it was a
vicious habit due to idlcness and
heavy feeding. and that the best rem
cdy for 1t, unless in of birds of
special value. was to kill those affect
cd with it before the entire flock coli
tracteh the habit. Prof. Tlleobauld,
how ever, in a paper in the Board of
agriculture journal, Great Britain,
says that feather eating in poultry is
due to q minute parasitic mite ut the
roots Of the feathers, and that the
idea that it is a vicious habit merely is
an erroneous one. He says that there
are two kinds of feather eating, name.
~, self feather eating and the eating
of the feathers of other birds. The
former is entirely due to the mites
living upon and irritating the roots OF
the quill, and the minute young are
transmitted from fowl to fowl about
April, and is most prevalent in spring
and summer. They a be easily dis
covered among the white powdered
matter at the base of the quill, anc
minute young are transmitted from
fowl to fowl during population. III,
fowls of the flock eat the feathers t.
destroy the mites at their base. Pre-

cro.. With Din.rent Blood.

Nothing will be gained by making
such a cross as that of the Hamp-
shire ram on the Shropshire eve.
Both breeds have Southdown blood in
them, and being of similar character
as to fleece, the crossbred wool would
be very irregular in quality and I'm.
eve fiber. In crossing for wool moth.
ing is gained by mixing two breeds
whose fleeces are of like general char
acter. Experience has proved that for
crossing for wool, two coarse woods
have never given any useful result,
but one Of the coarse weols mixed
with the short and fine Merinp furn-
ish. in every instance, wool Of a de-
sirable kind. In the same way, moth
ing would be gained by crossing these
for stock, especially for mutton, each
of which Is now an excellent mutton
sheep. The cross Of the Leicester, Lin
coin or Cotswold on the Shropshire
would be a far better one for both
wool and mutton, giving a longer,
finer fiber Of wool than that of the
eve, and a quick-feeding, easily-fat-
