entitled Henry's Birds. wherein the
writer describes using trained barnyard
fowl rs iecoys for wild ducks. Henry
clips the wings of his tame ducks, then
teaches them to fly, and in fact educates
them and toughens their constitution
until they know more than he does, and
can live all right in pond of 10y cold
water without turning a feather, as 1t
were.
On a cold January night Mr.. Sears and
Henry proceed to pond, the resort Of
black ducks, and in the words of the
writer ''in this bitterly cold water, which
froze on the ducks feathers as soon as 1t
touched them, westied those unotfending
creatures by the leg to cord which ran
out on the watersand disappeared in the
darkness. 1t appeared that this glacial
