WANDERING NIGHT HERONS.
An Interesting Experiment with the
Birds by the Smithsonian
Institution.

Eight hundred night herons are wan
dering free about the United States,
each wearing on one leg an aluminium
hand-inscribed Smithsonian Institu-
ton" and a number. If any person
shoots one of these birds he should
write to Paul Bartsch, biologist of the
Smithsonian, telling him where it was
and how large was the bird. The night
heron is one of the most beautiful of
the aquatic birds of America, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. but scientists
know less about it than they are salts
fled with.
Last year Mr.. Bartsch discovered
several of these birds on the Potomac
in the District of Columbia. Recently
he visited the place with several assist
ants in the night, and the 500 alumni.

when at exercise than in any other way,
and unless the man can be fully depend

better. When the horse is only occasion

The Handiest Bee Brush.

DR.. Miller is quoted by the Review as
saying there is nothing better for brush
ing bees than some growing plant, like
asparagus, sweet clover, goldenrod, or
aster. That is the kind of brush | use
not because it is better but because 1t
Is SO get-at-able. l reach down to the
nearest bunch of weeds or grass, and
grab up a good handful-enough to
make a good strong sweep. When | am
through with it l simply throw it away.
But where there is shaking and brush
ing all day, as during extracting, a
special brush for the purpose-one that
can be swashed in water-is better
than a scraggly mass OF weeds.
A Point on weaving Pigs.
An experienced breeder of swine says
that in weaving pigs the usual method
is to AXE the pigs away from the SOW,
and that the method is wrong, as the
pigs are compelled to endure a double
grief, being taken away from their
mother and away from he place to
which they are accustomed. The effect
often is seen in the stoppage of all
growth for a few days. The pigs should
be left in the pen, and the SOW should
be removed. She can stand the change
better than can the pigs. If left in the
pens, the pigs will grow right along
