A CHEEKY CHICKADEE. At dusk on the
night of Dec 9th the bird lover came in with
grievance. "See here" he said 81 want to
know what right a chick-a-dee has to a nights
,odging in my eave-swallows nest" We al
lowed that we didn't know. "Well. was work.
ing out there by the barn just now" he said,
''when l saw streak, like something flying
looked up and thought saw bird in the cave
! swallows nest. 1 raped the barn. The
! bird few out, went over in an apple tree and
said chick -a-dee -dee-dee.' l went on working
and he few'back into the nest, said 'chick-a-dee-
dee-dee- dee'-and turned in" We wondered
if this were chick-a-dee custom, or whether
this was the same cheeky chick-a dee which
had several weeks ago been seen prowling
around the bird lovers empty martin houses,
the rightful occupants of which left for the
i sunny south on August 18th.
| THE PRICE OF EGGS. When Prof. VIM. F.
Schoppe of the University of Maine was in
| Belfast some weeks ago eggs were then rapid
! ly advancing in price and he predicted that
| they would reach rs cents dozen before the
winter was over. When asked upon what he
based this prediction he said that the season
was unfavorable for Matching and that there
was a considerable shortage in laying stock
i throughout the country. This opinion is con-
/ frmed by an authority eggs, who says in
the current issue of Farm and Fireside:
"When the poor matches came off last spring,
many poulterers decided to give up raising any
! great amount of stock this season and buy
pullets later. This idea so general among
/ both fancy and utility breeders that the out
/ come seems to be general shortage of stock all
over the country. To make the matter more
serious, feed prices began rising early in the
summer, and farmers and poulterers in general
| from all sections of the country began selling
! all surplus old stock, Thousands of car-lots
were shipped to our cities, and still the prices
| kept up higher than usual for poultry of all
! grades. AS result from this exodus of pou-
try the supply is much lower than usual this
fall, and the outlook now is favorable for high
er prices than last year for both poultry and
eggs.
