The barns on the D. s. Pratt place
which were burned two weeks ago will
not be rebuilt this fall. The old barn
which was saved has room enough to
house the cattle, and part of the ell is
being remodelled to accommodate the
horses. The sheep shed will be rebuilt
and remodelled and made much better
than it was before. Walter Pratt had
planned to remodel this building this fall
and the fire simply FASTENED his action.
When completed it will be one of the
best sheep sheds in this part of the
country. Mr. Pratt plans to cut lumber
on the farm next winter and build new
barn to replace the main barn next
spring
A fine specimen of a kingisher was
found dead beneath one of the windows
of NJ. j. Morans store Monday morning.
It probably flew against the glass at
night when the windows were lighted
from within. Birds fly more by night
than is commonly supposed, the greater
part of them making their southern jour
ney wholly in the darkness. In the
spring and fall mgrations it is no UNI
common thing for dead birds to be picked
up beneath windows where they are APP
parently attracted by the light The
lighthouses destroy an immense number
of birds each year in this way. Most OF
means of defense against their en-
emies except what the darkness
affords them. 1t is unusual for bird like
the kingfisher, which is abundantly able
TO DEFEND itself against all natural enc
mics, to fly about much at night.
