Profitable Experiment of
Local Poultry Raiser

After reading Mr.. Eaton's article
in The Age of recent issue / decided
to give to the public little expert
ment which I have made with hens.
So many farmers have said that
there is no profit in poultry that 1
determined to prove the fact for
myself, Now after testing the
poultry business on a small scale, l
am prepared to substantiate this
statement, namely. that no branch
of farming can be made so profitable
and at the same time insuring qnick
returns for money expended as the
industry of raising chickens for
market and keeping them for laying
At the prices of beef and pork
soar aloft the demand for poultry
and eggs increases. From Decem-
her /, 1909, 10 April 80, 1910, four
months, I received 797 eggs from
l3 hens. You can figure this out
and see that it represents one egg
every other day from each hen dur
ing the months when eggs are high
est and the fowl least inclined to
lay, In fact, each hen paid all ex-
pense of keeping, and so cents clear
profit No fancy food was used, but
a variety of good, healthy, egg-mak-
ing material has been given them.
This item is not published as
means for boasting, but simply
shows that any one with a fair
amount of horse sense" can make
the poultry business pay. Vermont
has her reputation for the production
of maple sugar. Let US put another
star in her crown by developing the
poultry industry.

A rIMELEss WORLD.
What Would Happen If We Were En-
tireIy lnclosed by Clouds.

tnSIJ tHStoSGo ny Siouoas
II astronomers are right in ascrib-
Ing the wonderful brightness Of Venus
to the existence Of an atmosphere con-
tinually filed with clouds, then she
must be a world without time-at
least there can be no measurement of
time there such as we have here.
1t is because we can see the sun and
the stars that we are able to traverse
the oceans and run railroad trains
across the continents.
Surround our earth with an unbro-
ken shell of clouds and what would be-
come of all our clocks and chronom-
eters? Not ship could safely cross
the sea; not railroad would be able
to run its trains without a series Of
frightful wrecks. In a few weeks
every clock and watch would be hope
lessly wrong and all exact timekeep-
ing would cease.
Probably there are few who stop to
think Of the way In which our every
day life depends upon astronomical
observations. Our great primary time
keeper is the earth rotating on its
axis. If we could not see the sun
and stars because of clouds we should
not know that the earth rotates and
there would be no standard to which
we could refer our timepieces and by
which we could correct them. In fact,
we should probably have no time,
pieces.
There could be no hours and min
utes, for they are exact divisions Of
an ideal day based upon celestial OBJ
servations which would be impossible
to us.
They could not be based upon clocks
or other mechanical devices, because
the most exquisite chronometer that
can be constructed will not keep time
Indefinitely and must be continually
corrected by means of observations Of
the stars made In the observatories.
There could be no accurate maps Of
countries or charts Of the seas, for
such maps and charts can be made
only by the aid of astronomical obser-
vations.
There could be no parallels of lati-
tude or meridians of longitude, for
they, too, are based on celestial OBJ
servations which would be impossible
to us.
We should not know with any GER
tainty where we were upon the earth.
We could not measure the distance
from New York to London nor from
New York to San Francisco.
Poetical minds, moved by the spec
tacle of Venus in her glory, have
drawn brilliant pictures of the delights
of life in that radiant world, but there
is another side to the question of
which we may well think as we gaze
admiringly upon her electric splen-
dor.-Garrett p. Serviss in New York

FLIGHT or BIRDS.
Rapid Wing Movement Does Not AL
ways Imply Speed.

Rapid Wing Movement Does Not AL
ways Imply Speed.
Birds have different modes of flight,
| just as men have different gaits in
walking or running. Rapid wing
movement does not always imply
speed in fight any more than rapid
| leg movement implies speed in walk
| ing or running With us it is the
length of the stride that tells ultimate
ly. What, apart from wing movement,
tells In the birds flight is not known.
Speaking broadly, long winged birds
are strong and swift fliers; short
winged birds are feeble In flight.
When we consider that a cumbrous,
slow moving bird like the heron moves
its wings twice per second when in
fight 1t is evident that many birds
have a very rapid wing movement.
Most small birds have this rapid
wing movement with feeble powers
Of flight. The common wren and the
dipper, for instance, have a fight like
that Of young bird.
Many Of our smaller migrants seem
but to fit from bush to bush or from
tree to tree. Members Of the thrush
family are low fiiers, the blackbird in
particular, with its hasty, hurried
flight often just avoiding fences and
no more. Wagtails have beautiful
undulating flight with little apparent
use of their wings. They look like
greyhounds bounding through the air.
Nearly all birds sail or float occa-
sionally without the slightest move
ment of their wings. Even a large
bird like pheasant will glide in this
way for more than two hundred yards.
Grouse have rapid wing motion
without any great speed, but when
they sail, coming down with the wind,
as they prefer to do, they go very fast
Before alighting they flap their wings
several times very rapidly, like the
clapping of hands. Most birds after
gliding do this. Does it correspond to
putting on the brakes or reversing the
engine In the case Of mechanical loco
motion? With little apparent use of
its wings the wood pigeon flies very
strongly and rapidly. 1t never seems
to ''bring up much before alighting,
but crashes into tree at full speed.
When it rises its wings crack like
pistol shots.
DUCKS are Strong on the wing and
often fly in single file. Geese will fly
wedge or arrowhead shape, generally
at considerable height So do many
gulls and other sea birds, in stately.
measured fashion, their calls occa-
sionally sounding like LEFT, right,
left, right.
Kestrels have beautiful, clean cut,
clipping motion of their wings and
look like yachts sailing through the
air, while their lowering in the air is
one OF the mysteries of bird life.
Peesweeps. which are so graceful in
their motions on the ground, look like
enormous bats when in flight. Swal-
lows and In a very marked degree |
swifts have rapid wing movement |
with great speed and extraordinary |
power of flight-Scotsman.
