STORY OF A MUD HEN.
And the Mon Who Tried to Shoot Or
Drown the Bird.

And the Mon Who Tried to Shoot Or
Drown the Bird.
ut Is q rightly hard thing to down
a mud hen" said a Portland official
Every one knows this homely bird. 50
clever that It can dodge the fash Of u
gun. making It very hard to kill II
any one ever wanted to kill one.
"A friend Of mine who was great
hunter. but not acquainted with the
mud hen. was out hunting on the Co
lumbia sloughs some years ago when
he saw what he thought was some
kind Of duck floating on the water
He aimed his shotgun and fred. but
the bird dived as the gun was dis.
charged. and the shot struck the wa
ter where the bird had been mo-
ment before. Az the smoke cleared
away the hunter saw the bird come to
the surface. and he gave 1t the other
barrel. with the same result.
His obstinacy was now aroused
and he determined to kill that bird he
fore he left the place He shot away
every round of ammunition he had.
but the bird lodged every one and
still ffuated in the same spot. In great
disgust my friend sat down on the
bank and lit his pipe, At the first pun
of smoke the bird Owed again. and
this gave him his inspiration.
ITO make a short story. he smoked
up all his tobacco in an effort to drown
the mud. hen. but when darkness fell
and he started for home the bird was
still floating In the same old spot

Poultry Pickings.

Eggs should be graded and the small
and III shaped used for cooking pur-
poses. None but the brightest and best
should be placed upon the market or
used for incubation.
Pigeons are becoming more popular
and game birds are getting scarce.
Pigeons require very little attention
when preparations are made for them.
SQUAD raising is profitable when fol-
lowed intelligently. Why not try
few pigeonsf
Great care, Is necessary In collecting
eggs intended for incubation. Th.
pOultryman should always know the
parents Of the offspring. and for this
reason a record should be kept Of both
hens and cockerel. This Is the only
way to breed good fowls.
Beginners at poultry keeping tend to
overfeed their chickens during the win
ter--too much grain and too little ami
NAL food aud green food. Fowls re-
quire each Of these three kinds Of foO6
all the year round In order to keep In
vigorous health and II they are over
fed or underfed with either one there

itself In diminished egg production.
