BREEDING GRAUVDS
 FIR " D F5VL Birdland in Mexican Gulf Increased By Sale and
 Grant. A NOVEL BIRD REALM Uncle Sam and Audubon Workers Cedes Island to Feathered Tribe.
A NOVEL BIRD REALM

New York, Sept, 1O.--At prices of from two to seven dollars an acre perpetual homes and breeding grounds for the wild birds of America are now being secured by friends of the national bird life In addition to the 25 islands. in the Gulf of Mexico, east Of the Mississippi which it now maintains as an undisturbed haven for the native wild fowl the National Association of Audubon So- eietles has to-day completed the pur- chase of Shutdown Island off the Louisiana coast, The ceding of this SO-acre island tract to the birds as an everlasting homing spot, 1t Is an nouneed. marks the beginning of a widespread movement among bird lovers in this country This, It is hoped, will result in the eventual ac- quisition of all the native haunts in the island and coastal region of the Atlantic, Pacific and of the Gulf where at present the breeding flocks are sadly molested and unprotected.
 At the head of the subscription list toward securing the homes of the nations birds Uncle sam has already placed himself with the reservation of the entire "mud-lump" region of the Mississlppis delta and the Shell Keys" somewhat further west. Ofii- cial orders from President Roosevelt calling for the setting aside of these breeding tracts have just been for warded to Audubon headquarters in this city in answer to an earnest re- commendation of this measure which the association made early in the summer. With this cordial endorse ment and continuation of the reserve ation plan by governmental authori- ty, 1t now remains to complete the project of establishing an adequate bird realm, by private purchase of such Islands as are owned by private persons and yet remain unguarded from the molestation of human de- stroyers.
 That a few dollars may secure to all posterity full acre of home and breeding ground, carefully patrolled by Audubon wardens, is an idea that is appealing to friends of American wild life all over the country, In support of the general movement the Audubon workers have already begun to receive contributions to their funds for the purpose of retaining these national bird haunts to their own once more
 By the governments reservation of Shell Keys a multitude of national wild fowl have already become assur- ed of the preservation of their homes and offsprings. On this reef, which is composed of oyster shells and ex- tends only a mile and half in the

waters of the upper gulf, some 200 brown Pelicans, 500 Man-O -O'-War birds and almost a thousand Royal Terms were recently observed by an Audubon patrol expedition. More than 200 nests of the terms were also counted on the little reef which has now been placed under careful guard against marauders.
 In addition to the Shell Keys and the equally frequented mud lump" reservations at the Missssippi's mouth which have to-day come under the surveillance of the Audubon work CTS, some 700 acres of island region have been purchased or acquired by the association for the same purpose east of the rivers delta. Many more islands, either privately held or undiscovered. must be bought or held under perpetual lease, the orni- biologists declare, before the bird life of this country will be adequately safeguarded.
 "The only hope for the preserva- ton of the wild birds of our nation lies in acquiring their home breeding grounds on the coasts of the United States and carefully maintaining them against molestation," said William Butcher, president of the association at its headquarters, 141 Broadway, to-day. Every American should be interested in the preservation and ex- tension of his country's bird life and no true patriot will care to see a race of his nations birds die out for lack of their ancestral homing grounds"

AMERICAN OSTRICH FARMS.
Four in California, While Arizona
 Has 2.O00 Birds.

The recent establishing of the Los Angeles Ostrich Farm within the city limits of Los Angeles gives California four ostrich enterprises---the others being at San Diego, South Pasadena, and San Jose.
 The South African earns do not manufacture and retail their product but in California, says Sunset, the feathers are grown, manufactured and retailed by the same concern.
 The initiative in the ostrich indus- try was taken about thirty years ago by Dr. sketchley who established 2 farm at Anaheim. Later on other men imported birds and assisted in es< tablishing the buslaess. The greatest development of the business has been in Arizona, where there are at present over 2.OOO birds Their pro- duct of feathers has been sold princi- pally to New York manufacturers.
 There Is a tendency on the part of the ostrich feather growers 10 com bine their efforfs Tn building rp the industry and in this way give to the Southwest a distinct industry charact- eristic of it's climate and sunshine At the present time fully $t3,5e0. 900 worth of ostrich feather goods are sold annually in the United States and of this amount California has sold approximately $2O0.0OO, which proves that there is ample field for the Cali fornia producers to enlarge their business.
 The cost of manufacturing ostrich feathers is less thln in New York. al- though the scale If wages is tho same. The difference is due to the ever preSont sunshine an1 the warm climate, which makes heating expense small item.
 The California farms can produce, manufacture and retail their feathers or fully one-thiri less than it is ne- 'essary for Eastern retailers to caarge. There $ a fifty per cent

 The quality of the California pro duct Is as rule superior to the grade of goods commonly retailed through out the United States, due to the fact that the feathers are fresher when thye reach the consumer and retain the life and beauty which is often de- stroyed in imported feathers by the methods pursued in handling, packing and shipping. The California pro- duct is sold throughout the United States, principally by mail orders, but retail salesroons are maintained at the farms and in the shopping centers of Los Angeles.

CONCRETE POLES.
Show Greater Endurance for Electric
 Lines Than Wooden Poles.

DIlOW 0iNt1NNA A4AAs~NANt
 Lines Than Wooden Poles.
 An Indiana company has been or ganized for the manufacture of con- crete poles for line work A series of continuous rods of twisted carbon steel especially prepared for the pur- pose are held in position and bound together by a spiral steel wire from the apex to the base of the pole, and the poles are moulded in adjustable forms.
 All large poles or poles over thirty five feet will be constructed in the holes by upright forms, says the Electrical World. Gains for cross arms, holes for bolts and steps are easily provided for while the con- crete is plastic.
 A thirty foot pole of octagonal sec- ton constructed year ago in hori- zontal position, hauled nine squares and set up with cross arms, subjected to two summers and winter with wires attached, is stated to show no perceptible wear or injury from use or the elements.
 Some severe tests made with poles constructed in this manner show that though very hard and durable and apparently rigid surprising chastici- ty is displayed. For instance, pole thirty feet in length when subjected to a strain of S,1eO pounds at the top deflected from a straight line thirty inches before cracking the cement. Al cedar pole of like dimensions broke

contracted serious heart trouble and other ailments owing to the shocking conditions of his confinement, but he had become taciturn and reserved. He proved, however, singularly faithful in the execution of the duties assigned to him, and was especially punctilious with regard to the various obligations of his faith-the call to prayers, the ablutions and the observance of the long religious fast known as the Ra- madam. The boy, seldom smiled, but he also proved exceptionally truthful, by no means usual characteristic in an Oriental. and one which was cer- tainly not in his case an inherited trait.
 When he became of age I had him enrolled as a government guard, po sition his father had long occupied in our establishment but Abd-Es- Selam was not pleased at the suggestion, de- clartng that hep referred his own simple attire toe the handsome uni form worn by these soldiers of the overnors guard.
 Finally, however, he yielded to the remonstrances of his own people, who were indignant with him for declin- ing this advancement, carrying with it a considerable increase of pay. Thus it chanced that he was one of the two guards on duty at our vil- evening when the house was attacked by Raisulls band and when Abd-E Es- Selam and his fellow guard, Ben Aisa, boldly upbraiding Raisuli for this outrage upon us, friends as these two asserted, "of the natives and pro- tectors of the unfortunate"
 During our stay at Tsarradan, which lasted six weeks, Abd-Es-se- lam served me devotedly as nurse, housemaid and cook, even after he himself had sickened with fever.
 When at last the long delayed hour of our departure arrived l was great ly concerned as to how my attendant was to De conveyed home, and pro- posed to send back for him when he should have recovered.
 "What?" exclaimed the poor fel- low Leave me here alone, among these devils? No, not if I have to crawl home on my hands and knees,
 The problem was finally solved by strapping a mattress upon mule and upon that Abd-Es-Selam was safely conveyed to the village where the ran- som paid by tho Sultan for our release was brought, together with the pris- oners belonging to Raisulls faction, who were exchanged for us.

THE REAL uusKrNG BEE.
An Hour and Half of Real Work,
 Then Dancing.

Ltttii
 There will be a husking tonight The boys have selected about thirty huge and solid pumpkins for seats, and the stocks of corn stand twenty feet thick, all around outside Wires arc fixed. on which to hang the lanterns of the workers, Inside the seats, the whole center of the yard Is left clear for the clean golden ears after they are strip ped, Josiah Andrews and Ephraim Foote are the chief competitors; only old man Dennison gives ,hem a close race. It is a curious and pretty piece of business, At ! o'clock every seat is occupied with laughing, story tell ing farmers, farmers boys, and farm hands. Grandfather Hull gives the sig nal. Lifting a stalk deftly, so as to bring the ear to the left hand, he strips the husks down with the right, and then twists the golden spur cunning ly out of the stalk of the husks-qulck as a flash tossing the ear to the ground. Soon there Is a pile, and each man and boy has his own heap. Now all are at work. The jolkers grow few CT, the talk lags Ears fly thlckly through the air. There will be one hours pull, and every bit of it will be farmers science. With all their inven- tions they have never yet got better corn husker than the two human hands, with brains running through them. You will easily see that 1t Is brains if you watch the piles Modern invention has spoiled moving and reaping, and indoors there is no more sewing or knitting or candle making, but corn huslIlng is and 1 think 1t will long remain
 The kitchen is lighted with unusual brilliance, and there is a hum of busl- ness inside Faint odors of doughnuts come to the champions. If you could only look indoors you would see long row of pumpkin pies. and there are seven jars of honey, for these huskers are hearty eaters Parson Chase Is here, and Deacon Hanford and they are doing work neither need be asham- ed of. After the feastlng when it comes to the dancing, and the cham pion leads the girl of his choice, the parson smiles and says genially: Folks do not see things as they used. !" Bless the Lord, no!' says the deacon, There's no use manufacturing sins There's enough of them In the nature of things"
 The hour is up yes, a good long hour and a half. The village clock strikes nine before the huskers shove back from the stools-what there Is left of them, The girls are coming from the house with arms full. Cider first-a genuine brew, I should like to stop right here, to sing the praise of real cider September cider-made half and half of Pound Sweets and Gravensteins. But really if I were to tell you all that know, and all that think of this pure brewing of the best fruit God ever made, I shouA never get to the end of the dancing and feasting, and we should not get home until midnight. OnyI this I say, cider is fit for mor- tals only when made of sound apples. and every one washed at the spring. Coffee comes for those whose blood goes slow. and are already sleeping or nodding. This is one of the fine things about farm life, that as soon as the work is done the worker sleeps.-Out- ing
