NOVEL HUNTING GROUNDS.
Three Pigeons Are Shot In BEADING
Room Of Congressional Library
at Washington.

An expert rifeman shooting pigeons
in the reading-room Of the congression-
library at Washington d. c., was one
Of the sights that astonished tourists Wis
iting the expensively appointed build
ing recently. An hour was required to
kil three birds. In order to avoid the
possibility of running decorations that
cost many thousand dollars it was nee
essary to wait until each pigeon alighted
at some spot where bullet could do no
damage. This was successfully accom-
plished.
Three pigeons entered the reading
room through the ventilators. They
liked the place and proceeded to estab-
lish comfortable nests. Their continual
flying about the room greatly annoyed
those who came to study. No way could
be devised to remove the birds except by
shooting them with a rifle.

Minute Animal Life.

scientist, that there are animals so
wonderfully minute that If thousand
of them were ranked abreast they
could easily swim, without being
thrown out Of order. through the eye
Of the finest cambria needle ever made.
Yet each Of the minute creatures Is q
highly organized number OF particles,
capable Of moving about, Of finding
and devouring food and Of behaving In
all respects as becomes an animal as
distinguished from a fragment Of I'M

Is utterly incapable Of realizing the

Of fully appreclating their marvellous

FEAThEREO GLUTTONS.
Some Very Greedy Birds That Are
Tremendous Feeders.


Despite the fact that "the appetite
Of bird" has become a common phrase
for light eating, Investigations show
that birds are tremendous feeders. Tho
diet Of the average kestrel Ga small Eu-
ropean hawk is calculated at 1000
mice month, to say nothing Of insects
and worms. The barn owl is as vora-
cious as the kestrel. An investigator,
after caging one of these birds, gave it
seven mice one after the other. The
first six Immediately disappeared, each
with a gobble and gulp, and the owl
did its very best to treat the seventh
in a like manner. Limitations Of alb
dominal capacity, however, prevented,
and though the gobble came of the
gulp did not, so that for twenty min
utes or so the tail of the seventh mouse
dangled from the corner of the birds
beak. But in due course it swallowed
the body, and three hours later the
pangs of hunger reasserted themselves
and the owl ate four more mice.
-Four pounds would be a heavy weight
for heron. Yet one of those birds,
which was trapped in England, dis
gorged two recently swallowed trout
one Of which weighed two pounds and
the other one and half pounds. An
other captured had contrived to put
away three trout averaging three-quar-
tiers of pound apiece, although it was
only four months old, and another had
dined upon seven small trout, together
with q mouse and thrush.
Among the greediest birds are wood
pigeons, which will continue to gulp
down food until their crops are almost
at the bursting point. From one Of
these birds, shot as 1t was returning
from q raid in the fields, no fewer than
800 grains Of wheat were taken. An
other had contrived to cram down no
fewer than 600 peas. A third was en-
deavoring to sustain nature with $50
beech nuts and fourth with sixty
acorns.

This Is question Of vital Importance
and much concern to every mother.
The time comes when something be-
sides q purely milk diet Is desirable,
but what, that the little stomach can
digest, will furnish proper nourish-
ment? 1t Is often necessary to change
from an entire milk diet when, dur
Ing the teething period, baby refuses
food or does not seem to relish what is
taken as formerly.
The old fashioned oat fake, properly
cooked, Is one Of the first things to be
given with safety, and the little ones
enjoy this. In lieu Of a double boiler,
If yours is too large, get small han
died basin that will fit In the top of
your. teakettle, using the cover of the
latter for the dish. To q cup of boil
ing water add q pinch Of salt and one
tablespoonful OF oat flake. Cook over
your boiling kettle one hour or more
"a thorough cooking is very essentiaD.
You will have a jelly with very little
solid matter. Add milk, and it IS ready
for baby. A little sugar may be used,
but do not make the common mistake
Of thinking everything for baby must
be sweetened and later wonder why
when he is hungry plain bread and
butter without sugar dressing Is not
acceptable. Gradually increase the
amount Of oats used until you have
accustomed the little stomach to taking
1t as ordinarily prepared for breakfast
Bread and milk is readily assimilated

slice in a saucer and pour over it the
warmed milk. Crushing between the

SHEEP-There was another rather light
run OF sheep today only seventeen cars,
about 4,GO0 head being reported in. The
receipts all during the week have been
quite light, only about $500 head being re-
ceived This is the lightest run for the
nrst four days of any week since the sec
ond week in August, when only 1917 head
were marketed, Some of the trains were
struggling into the barns all during the
morning. The quality of the offerings was
only fair. The stock was sold as soon as
1t was placed In shape to be shown except
ing the short-fed stock. which was very
slow. II being a comparatively hard matter

the stuff was coming In all during the
trading active. All desirable sheep and
lambs were picked up however. as soon as
they were offered. The market today is in
practically the same notches as at the close
of last week The receipts have been light
all week. but the offerings as a rule have
not been of extra good quality, and these
two facts have tended to hold prices about
steady. There has been some good stun
offered for sale, and this has always sold
readily at good, strong prices.

CATTLE-The cattle receipts this morn

been very light, about l6,6 6S head being re-
Ceived, as against 2,914 head for the same
time last week. However, the m FOR the
first four days of this week is larger than
for the corresponding period last year by
generally OF rather poor quality, the larger
portion consisting of short-fed ana warmed
up cattle.
The trading on beef steers opened active
with prices on good, desirable beeves
are steady to trife stronger in some few
cases. Generally speaking, however. the
market opened fully steady So long as
steers on the market prices were steady
and trading active. The small supply OF
good kinds soon gave out! though, and then
il became slow and weak, as packers were
unwilling TO take the warmed-up and
short-fed cattle except at sacrifice and
they did not appear TO want them much
even then. To sum the situation up in a
few words the market opened active and
fully steady, closing slow and weak.
The situation on cows and heiteTs was
practically the same as with the beef
steers The quality was generally only
common, with a good many warmed-up
cattle in. The market opened active and
stun had been cleaned out prices dropped
and trading was rather slow at somewhat
easier prices Generally speaking, the mar
ket opened active and steady to strong,
closing slow and weak
There was only a small supply of stock
ers and feeders on the market this morn
ing. Trading was active and prices were
generally steady to strong The market
on this kind of stock closed fully steady.
