OBJECT TO THE CHICKENS
That Their Early Morning Rest
Is Disturbed.

The dwellers in the residential sec
ton of Hastings-on-the-Hu have
become much excited over discussions
of the question. Is it proper and right
to maintain poultry farm on a vii
lage plot? Since the days have length
ened and the sun rises early and the
windows are kept open wide all
night, it is maintained by those on
the negative side Of the discussion,
restful sleep Is out Of the question
after o'clock in the morning A petit
ton setting forth all the arguments
from the moral, economic and social
points Of view against chicken raising
inside of village limits has been cir.
culated, and has the names of all who
do not own chickens. One of the sign.
ers said the whole trouble was
brought on the community by the i'm.
portatlon of bantam rooster. What
this fellow lacks in size he makes up
in volume and shrillness of voice and
in the zeal with which he INDUCES his
talent for growing in the early hours
of the day. He is keyed too high
and his owner should feed him chalk
every night. The petition describes
in detail the annoyance of being
reused out of a sound sleep by @
loud cock-a-doodledoo and the horror
Of lying awake to listen for the next
summons from the other ROSTERS
One particularly loud-voiced Leghorn
was found dead beside his coop few
days ago. 1t is said on of the neigh.
bors, at the risk of being shot, broke
the ROSTERS neck. 1t took only a
few days for the owner to get an
other lusty-lunged bird, and now there
is some feeling!

The Whales Sonu,

Whales are rarely thought of as vo-
calists, yet according to Miss A. D..
Cameron in 1.-THE New North" they
really have distinctive song Of their
own.
A certain Captain Kelly was the
first to notice that whales sing. One
Sunday, while officers from three whal-
ing ships were canning" over their
afternoon walrus meat, Kelly started
up with 81 hear bowhead!" There
was much chatting about "Kellys
band" but Kelly weighed anchor, and
went to find the band-wagon. Every
sail followed his, with the result that
three whales were bagged.
Among bowheads, this singsong Is a
call that the leader of the school, as
he forces a passage through Boring
sea, makes in order to notify those
that follow that the straits are clear
of ice.
Walruses and seals and all true man.
mails that have lungs and live in the
water have bark that sounds strange
enough as 1t comes up from hidden
depths. Every lookout from the mast
head notices that, when one whale ia
struck, the whole school is CALLED
or stampeded at the very impact Of
the harpoon; they have heard the
death song.
The sound that the bowhead makes
is like the long-drawn-out "hoo-hoo-oo-
DOL" of the hoot-owl. A whaler says
that the cry begins on b, and may
rise to A, B, or even 9 before slipping
back to F again. He assures us rnat
,, with the humpback the tone is much
finer, and sounds across the water like
the note from the Il string of VIC.

WE WIN BY FOREIGN BLOOD
So Says Es-oxford Athlete Who
Wants England to Copy the
Plan of Sweden.

w. Beach Thomas, an Oxford gradu-
ate and former athlete, in reviewing
the Olympic games in the Daily Mail
says: "One can understand Ameri-
can supremacy. The winners are
mostly Englishmen, Scotchmen. or.
above all, Irishmen, at one remove
from the old country. One conspicu-
Gus victory was won by an ex-swede.
"A vast population, recruited by the
best red blood. as the Americans
boast, from virile Europe, a popula-
ton specialistically devoted to the
narrowest form of athletics and pos
sessed almost Of q mania for COM
petition, is likely to produce a fine
team. 1t did produce an incompara-
BILE team. The inclusion of Indians,
Hawaiians and one Anglo-Russian fur.
Their added to the total Of marks.
THE Swedes are a better stand
ard of comparison. Their athletes
are a delight to the eyes. They were
none of them specialists, but were all
gymnasts In q wide sense, as we'll as
athletes In wide sense. The nation
has used the Olympic games as a test
of the physical training in which the
whole nation has been brought up. BY
a quiet, methodical and really nation
al movement they have vastly in
creased the nations virility. The peo.
pie at large can drill, row, swim, run,
throw and play.
"The question for England Is wheth
er we cannot direct our national tai.
ent for athletics so that our teams
may at least have some esprit du
corps, in which the defeated Olympic
team was grievously deficient, and SO
that athletic skill with chance OF
representing the nation may become a
really healthy ambition among the
rich and poor in town and village
Such an ideal is realized already in
Sweden, Denmark and Finland, and
is being discussed in France and Ger.

FIND A USE FOR SWEEPINGS
Street Refuse Makes Good Fertilizer
If 1t Is Quite Free From
Oil

The United States department OF
agriculture has been conducting elab-
crate experiments to ascertain the
value of street sweepings as a ferti-
lizer. j. J. Skinner and ]. H. Beattie
of the bureau Of soils tried samples
collected in various ways upon wheat,
corn and radishes and found that
hand sweepings were best, but not
nearly so good as well-rotted stable
manure; that machine sweepings
were about one-third as good as hand
and that decomposed sweepings were
almost useless.
The reason for this was that the
sweepings contained much lubricating
oil. The experimenters made tests
of sweepings from which the oil had
been extracted and found that both
hand and machine sweepings pro-
duced as good results as stable ma
nure, while the decomposed sweep
ings were not far behind.
The department issues q bulletin
warning farmers and gardeners that
sweepings from which the oil has not
been extracted will eventually impair
the. productiveness Of soil, unless
through drainage the oily material is
drained off or changed.

Bitterness In an Enitanh.

Mason and Dixon's line is fast be.
coming memory, but here and there
are to be found evidences of the once
bitter hatred which prevailed in the
days of the Civil war.
George w. Kerdolff, who before en-
tering the insurance business spent
much time in the south, tells this
story of an epitaph rudely carved on a
block of sandstone yet to be seen in
Louisiana parish:
When the slogan of the south was
ION to Washington" and the youth OF
the Confederacy had shouldered their
muskets for the front, leaving only
the older folks and women and chill.
dren at home, band Of Union sol.
diers came into Louisiana. Sighting
the enemy, the aged men, assisted by
the women, gathered together their
scant supply Of firearms and planned
resistance. AS the Federal forces
came up a narrow lane, the southern.
ers opened fire with such deadly effect
that the invaders retreated, leaving
one of their number dead upon the
field of battle.
The victors buried the fallen foe
and over his grave, to this day, one
may read the roughly chiseled cpl.
taph: "The Yankee bands with bloody
hands came southwark to divide our
lands. This lonely and deserted spot
is all this - old Yankee got. Kan
