BIRD TRUE TO ITS MATE



Female Two Seasons.
II is recorded for example, of a
pair of fishhawks that the female was
killed by stroke of lightning as she
sat upon her eggs. The nest was de-
molished. but the male took his post
In a nearby tree, and was seen there
day after day during the following
summer until In September. with 9TH
ers of his species he left for The
South. The following spring, appa-
rently, the same bird resumed Its
faithful but fruitless vigil. until, as
before. he Joined the ranks of his
kind on their annual retreat to win
ter quarters but the third year he
did not return. Whether he had gone
to Join his lost partner in the happy
fishing grounds of his race or whether
his term of mourning had expired are
questions to which an ornithologist
XIth due regard for facts dare not
answer.
Now, compare with this really pa
thetic devotion the action of the Eng
lish sparrow under similar afftic-
tor. pair of these irrepressihle
feather pests took possession of bird
box near the home of a gentleman.
whos-as a beginning 70 the destruc-
ton of both of them, killed one Be-
fore the second bird could be shot. 1t
disappeared, and shortly returned
with a new mate. Again one OF the
two birds was made away with, bat.
as before, the remaining bird escaped
and soon reappeared with another
partner. This actually happened over
thirty times. but in no instance were
both birds killed, and invariably the
survivor. without loss of time, se-
cured another mate.
The fishhawk and English sparrow
may we'll. therefore. represent tbs eN-
tremes of constancy among mono
gainous birds. and at the same time
show how wide a range of habit Is
covered by monogamy.--Collier

The Cow.

The dairy COW. if able to express
herself in a way which the human
family would comprehend, might
we'll lay claim to being mans best
friend. She might establish such
a claim by calling attention TO the
fact that from her product and
from her carcass man manufactures
more of the necessities of life than
from any other source. She fur
nishes these necessities - him from
infancy until such time as tempo
raj things are no longer associated
with his existence, and she does it
ungrudgirgly and constantly.
In addition to contributing to
mans necessity and his pleasure,
the prosperity of an agricultural
community Is more closely identi-
fed with her than any other of the
domestic animals. The horse is
quite essential in tilling the soil.
but where necessity requires it the
sturdy son of the COW can can take
his place, as he has done in every
agricultural section on earth. The
horse can only furnish labor and
can only return a profit to his
owner when conditions are right
for returning satisfactory grain
crops. 1t is we'll known fact
that the dairy cow is the salvation
of the farmer in times of poor
crops as she is able to convert the
rough crops which are never a
total failure, into dairy products
which always have a cash value.
In addition to this she furnishes
skim milk and butter for the calves.
pigs and poultry and fertility for
the soil, without which a farm
becomes less valuable each wear
ana the whole country less pros
porous.
The elimination of the dairy COW
would necessitate an almost revolu-
tlonary readjustment of mans taste
and requirements. 1t would mean
untold suffering and hardship. OF
course she will not be dispensed
with but her value will can perhaps
best be appreciated by contemplate
ing such loss.
She will continue TO be mans
best friend rs long as the human
family exists and will keep on
supplying him with his greatest
needs just as she has done through
all the ages.
