PHoToGRAPHlN0 AN OWL.
Easy Of Accomplishment IF a Dog Be
Brought to View Of the !
Bird,

The great horned owl may also be
fascinated by dog, writes Silas A. Lot
fridge, in THE Great Horned OWL" in
st. Nicholas. And the photographing
of the great horned owl under these con-
ditions is not difficult; wait until the
owl seizes the fowl and stops to rest on
the return to the woods; then let a dog
be- led towithin 20 or so feet of the owl,
and the bird will be all attention for
the dog and take no apparent notice of
the person leading it. The behavior Of
the owl at such times is very amusing.
It stands motionless, gazing intently at
the dog; but after few minutes, if the
dog remains quiet, the bird seems to
become nervous, and steps first to one
side and then to the other, kissing, snap
ping its bealz, and ruftling it's feathers.
After this the owl will usually try TO
make off with its prey; but if another
halt is made, the birds actions show
even more nervousness. While the
OWLS attention is thus attracted is the
time to approach within "photo-dis.
lance" to get the "snan-shota,' = b.

There came a beggar to my door.
A comely little lad.
With: Sun-kissed hair and azure eyes,
With pensive mien, and sad.
SO meek he seemed-so poor-alone,
I wept at such ill-faring-
RegardeZ! When he entered in
He proved a robber daring.
He barred the door. he barred the pane.
Defenseless quite he found me),
A prisoner in my own demesne,
With braggart oaths he bound me.
He Knocked my, tears. he stole my heart,
With jest and gibe to flout me:
With rose-leaf strung on rOse-leaf red
He wove his chains about me.
Quoth he: "Such sorry garb as yours
No thief would deign to borrow
He stripped me of my Cynic's robe,
OF Loneliness and Sorrow.
He found my store of Doubts and Fears
Made loot to merry measure;
He scattered far to left and right
A hoard Of doleful treasure
He sealed my lips with kisses three.
And swore he'd stay no longer,
But though he made to loose my chains
felt the links grow stronger.
Ay, strong. as steel, these shackles swee
i would not break nor sever
A prisoner in my own demesne,
Love holds me fast forever.

in this section drought often interferes
with the development of the seed or
prevents their termination. II good
seed year meets moist season excellent
reproduction results, but II drought con-
tinues for several years, seeds are not
produced or very many of the seedlings

succeeding droughts.
The study which has brought out
these facts reveals conditions and pos
sibilities OF great Importance to COL
orado, Arizona and New Mexico. Tho
forests of this region are a valuable
source of lumber for home use and for
the maintenance of important indus
tries. The timber Is good, the forests
are easily logged, and industries other
than farming and grazing are needed
for a rounded development of the region.
Without these forests the railroads also
would be forced to haul their construc-
ton supplies long distances. Most OF
the land in the forested area is too high
to be irrigated, but if the tree growth
is fostered the land which it occupies
may become an important factor in the
conservation of water for the Develop
ment of agriculture in adjacent regions.
The rainfall in this section is largely
the product of brief, heavy thunder
storms, or it comes as snow during the
winter. Gentle, continuous rains are
