While the method is practicable in every way the company is watching the results with considerable interest and will appreci- ate reports from it's consumers of any thing indicating unusual conditions in supply.

4 Huuury EauIe.

At Reynolds Bridge, an interesting sight was observed one day this week when 8 bald eagle was discovered how ering over the flock of Plymouth Rock hens of E. s. Stocking. The great bird, which might have measured six feet or more from tip to tip. was evil dently after a chicken dinner, for after flying about for a few seconds it would center directly over the hens, then drop suddenly several feet. It's effort to satisfy it's appetite was a stubborn one and only for the pres ence of several people the bird would have made off with one of Mir. Stock ing's hens. Its head and breast was nearly white. Years ago, when people kept sheep and had young lambs, these eagles were seen more frequently. as they would carry off the young lambs The one seen this week is the first in long time to be seen hereabouts- Waterbury American.
