equator during the northern winter
the migrants fly toward the south pole
to breed. The seasonal range limit
of some of the northern breeding
birds is enormous-several extending
from Patagonia to Greenland.
All migratory birds have not the

shorter distances. The best known
of all the birds of passage, the swal-
low has one of the longest ranges
from 1000 to 10000 miles. In this
extended range are also included such
birds as the gray plover. the knot. the
pectoral and curlew sandpipers and
the Asiatic golden ployer.
The longer range-from 5000 to
1000 miles-includes such well-known
birds as the cuckoo. the corncrake.

the moderate range-from 5000 to

mileage of 1000 miles downward

To Cook Asparauus.

Asparagus should be boiled standing
end upward in a deep saucepan; near
" two inches of the heads should be
out of the water, the steam being suf-
ficient to cook them, as they form the
tenderest part of the plant The hard,
stalky part is rendered soft and de-
licious By the longer boiling which this
rlan permits. Cooking 80 or 40 min

render a third more of the stalk de
Hcious, while the head will be properly
cooked by the steam alOEe.
