To quote President G. Stanley Hall:
Never has youth been exposed to
such dangers as in our own land and
day, increasing urban life with its
occupations, and passive stimuli just
when an active objective life is most
needed; early emancipation, and les
sening sense for both duty and dis
cipline; the haste to know and do all
befitting mans estate before its time;
the mad rush for sudden wealth, and
the reckless fashions set by its gilded
youth
Now the moral law makes it Obliga-
tory upon parents, in the interest of
society and for the good of rising
genera tions, to educate their children
physically, intellectually and morally.
The half-heartedness with which this
requirement is met in some quarters,
and the utter Indifference to it which
prevails in others, measurably account
for the prOneness of young people to

floors. Before engaging in this enter
prise, the proprietor was for some
time in doubt as to whether his guests
would prefer the music of an orches-
ira in a spot where they might star
gaze conveniently, or freshly-laid eggs
and young broilers. He soon decided
that they would rather crafty their
stomachs than their ears, and he made
no mistake. His stock all comes from
an incubator and consists of Leg
horns, Plymouth Rocks and other
breeds of the good market variety.
He is satisfied with his venture and
takes much interest in its manage
ment, while the guests are more than
pleased with the results which enable
them to overhaul their poultry sup
plies before they get into the hands of
the middleman.
The story recalls the celebrated
comedy of The Birds in which Aris-
tophanes describes the wonderful city
of Nephelococcygia, built by the cue
koos in the clouds. The object of
the great comic writer was to sati-
rize the tendency of his fellow Atheni
ans to indulge in building castles in
the air, but the fanciful imaginings
of the ancient poet of the fifth CEN
tury B. c. are reduced to realities in
the practical age of the twentieth CEN
tury. Here we have a feathered city
far above the earth, real eggs deposit
ed well up toward the clouds, and a
permanent abode for hundreds of
winged creatures on a height that
overlooks land and water for miles
around A still nearer realization of
the dreamings of the Greek satirist
may be furnished within our real act
ual experience. On the graveled roof
of the building in which the American
Farmer is published, which is eight
stories high and situated in the CEN
ter of Indianapolis, a pair of bull bats,
or night hawks, reared their brood,
and went away to their Southern
homes to tell the wonderful story
to the antipodians. Thus Nephelo-

CHICKS HATCHED BY A CAT.
Story from Boston About a New
Hampshire Cat Taking the Place
of Hen.

which we find in an exchange, is
true then surely the old adage is veri-
fed.
We quote introduction and all just
as it appeared in the Petaluma Poul-
try Journal:
The Boston Post, printed at the
Hub where motion is less rapid and
truth is supposed to be more stable
than at other parts of the wheel, prints
the following remarkable cat story.
Bess, the big, gray, moherly cat
owned by Andrew J. Rock, is the most
famous inhabitant of Rye, N. H.. And
Bess is well worthy of all the pats of
kindness that are showered upon her
and that the distinction that has her
aided her name throughout all that
part of the state For she has become
a mother to the motherless, and this
in way that has shown her to pos
sess intelligence which in all the sim
cerity of the phrase is almost human
Bess's good old mother, now long
since dead, must have taught her the
works of mercy when Bess was kit
ten, for she has performed many mer-
itorious little acts during her lifetime,
but her last act of charity when she
became the mother of a brood of
chicks, even going so far as to hatch
them out, is the most unusual thing
that Bess has ever done. Not long
ago Mr. Lock had hen which was
sitting on a nest of eggs but which
took her departure for parts unknown
one morning and has never been heard
of since
While the mother hen was sitting
on the eggs Bess visited her every
day to view the proceedings with won
der because the old hen never moved
from the nest. Then came an unex-
pected event Bess called to see the
hen one morning and found her gone.
Then she jumped up to the nest of
eggs, which were still very warm, and
nosed around there for little while.
Mr. Lock watched her, and as he knew
that she could be trusted, he went to
look for the delinquent hen, but could
not find her. When he returned to
the nest he found pussy quietly
stretched over the eggs and although
he tried, he could not induce her to
leave them.
Finally Mr.. Lock went away, ex-l
pecting that Bess would soon follow
him. But such was not the case. Bess
remained of the eggs, and eventually
hatched out the entire brood of chick
ems. Then with feline care, she pro-
tected them as only a cat can, treat |
ing them just as if they were young
kittens instead of chicks.
She has walked around the barn |
yard with them every day, and has |
constantly watched them through all |
their young days, until now that they |
have grown to a fairly large size,
they are able to take care of them |
selves But even to this day she mani
tests an interest in her brood, and |
they are as well cared for as those of
any hen.

Chicken Ranch in the Air.

Problem of getting fresh eggs in
New York City solved by hotel man
Some people are compelled by cir
cumstances to do strange things. II
the story told by the American Far
mer is true, then surely almost any
one may raise their own fresh eggs.
Poultry, though belonging to the
flying fraternity, is usually content to
roost reasonably low. An ordinary
tree satisfies the most ambitious, and
since the introduction of modern
methods, with their houses and per-
ches, it is only in out of the way
places that chickens enjoy the lux
ury of seeking the tree tops. How
ever, they have a natural tendency to
go up, and this has been gratifed by
New York genius in a way quite
novel. Being the owner of the larg-
est apartment hotel in the world, sit
uated in the heart of the great metrop-
oils, he has had the usual trouble
of landlords in supplying his guests
with fresh eggs and broilers. The re-
cent clamor about pure food has cast
suspicion on all the cold-storage prod
ucts and guests have become extreme
1y suspicious since they learned that
fowls were kept packed for years be-
fore being sent to the table, and when
served were as tasteless as stones
and dry as chips. AS to eggs, they
certainly do not improve in reputation
after a years CONTINENT in the pack
ers' subcellars. To avoid these diff
ticulties, while becoming at the same
time independent of the trusts, was
the scheme of the Ansoria's proprie-
tor, and he solved the problem in a
way decidedly original.
He determined to establish a chick
en- farm on the roof of his twelve
story skyscraper, and has presevered
until there are now several hundred
fowls scratching around in the sand
far above the strollers on Broadway.
The success of this daring scheme
suggests many advantages. His poul-
try can't ''go down." to use the mark
ct phrase, until they descend for the
table, and they can't "go up, as there
is no farther to go. But this is not
all. Complaining guests, disposed to
be suspicious of eggs and fries, can
be taken up on the elevator in few
and shown in a way to
satisfy the most exacting Missourian
They can see for themselves that the
eggs are laid just above the dining
room and the chickens hatched within
a stones throw of the nearest bed
room. There is no danger of these
chickens causing trouble by wander
ing into neighboring gardens. The
boldest thief cannot reach them, and
they cannot stray off, as Skyfarm,
though in the center of city of four
millions of people, is really more Sc
cluded than a chicken ranch in West
ern Wyoming.
People. that have visited this aerial
establishment declare that it is an
deal chicken yard. The roof surface
IS finely tiled in terra Gotta. The
north end is covered with earth and

IMP 0RTANT DISCOVERY
IN OLD EGYPTIAN RUINS

A cable dispatch from London
gives some preliminary facts re-
garding most important discovery
in the ruins of ancient Egypt. The
telegram says: 1t is now possible
to give further details of the re-
msrkable find OF papyri as result
of the efforts of Doctors Grcnfcll
and Hunt, of the Grcco-Roman
branch of the Egypt exploration
fund, at Oxyrhynchus. The find
consists of no fewer than 100 boxes
of papyri, ranging in date from the
second century B. c. to the sixth
century A. D. They comprise all
classes of literature, many frag-
mcnts of lost or even unknown
classical works and some most i'm
portant fragments unknown to
Christian literature.
The most important find is a vel
lum leaf containing forty-five lines
of gospel which has a variation
from the authorized version. The
subject is the visit of Jesus and
his disciples to the temple of Je-
rusalem and their meeting there
with the Pharisee who rebukc:
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1906-12-06

them with their failure to perfom
the necessary ceremonial of purifi-
action. In the dialogue which fol-
lows, which resembles in some
respects Matthew 23-25, the Phar-
isee describes with considerable
fullness and detail the formalities
he has observed, whercupon Jesus
delivers an eloquent, crushing re-
ply, contrasting outward with in
ward purity.
AS regards the literary value of
the fragment, the discovcrer makes
some interesting remarks. He
says:
Among the most remarkable
features of the fragment is its cul-
tivatcd style, picturcsqueness, vigor
of phraseology, which includes sew
crsl words not found in the New
Tcstaments, and it's display of cur
ious familiarity with the topo-
graphy of the temple and the
Jewish ceremonies of publication.
There can be little doubt that when
the fragment is published, as 1t
shortly will be, that there will be
as much controversy among the
theologians as was provided by the
discovery of The Sayings of
Jesus in another mound.
''Othcr Christian fragments of
considerable value were found, i'm
Guiding vcllum leaf of the fourth
or fifth century of the lost Greek
original of the Acts of ST. Peter
which are known only in Latin,
and leaf of papyrus of an I'M
known version of the Acts of ST.
John.
1.-THE finds in the section of clas-
steal literature are most important.
The first is pspyrus containing
no fewer than thirteen columns OF
over sixty lines of paeans of Pindar
in good preservation and portions OF
several more columns.
Next in Importance is a roll
containing about a hundred lines of
the tragedy of 'Hippolytus' of Euri-
pides and many Fragments of Pla-
to, the speech of Dcmosthcnes
against Boetus and some of the
manuscript fragments of the poems
of Saphho.
Mention also should be made oil
an unknown history of Greece
which differs in many respect:
from that of Xcnophon.
1t will take long time to unroll,
join and examine this important
find, all of which has been removed
to England, but the explorers are
to be congratulated on their bril-
liant harvest of literature.

mont for better pastures. He hopes
by transporting his 1000 sheep
across the continent to escape the
intense competition of the western
business and to find a roomy coun-
try and peaceful conditions within
"a few hundred miles of Boston and

passed through Salt Lake on his
way to Vermont, where he is ncgo-
tisting for the purchase OF several
Thousand acres of land. If the
deal is successful it will witness
the strange spectacle of $1,000
western sheep seeking an eastern

The immediate cause of this I'M
usual project is the representations
to the Idaho man by letter from his
brother in in Vermont of peculiar
condition that has arisen in the
Green Mountain state within the
last few decades. 1t is the dcscr-
ton of the farm life by the young
Vcrmontcrs for the busy, busting
life OF the manufacturing ccntcrs.
In other words, farm life is ''too

been abandoned to the wilderness.
/ The Vermont brother writes that
former rich cultivated areas have
become grass and bramblcgrown and
that the forest is crowding back
civilization and bringing back
days suggestive of the times of
Ethan Allen and Ticonderoga. He
describes the deserted tracts as
presenting ideal conditions for
sheep, so that sturdy citizen OF
the west finds himself pioneering
a movement which can end in
nothing less than the rescuing of a
portion of the east from the en-
croachmcnt of the forest.

That IS what l am offered 1000 for,
