pect hens to do well under such con-

The worst thing is to make poultry
drink ice-cold water. They must
warm that water before the work OF
digestion can go ON again. Warm the
water for them-not hot, but just

Birds are so constituted by nature

of air. For this reason all coops and

SOME FACTS ABOUT TREES

The tallest trees In the world are the
Australian eucalyptus, which attain
an altitude OF 4S0 feet. The biggest
are the mammoth trees OF California,
come Of which are 276 To 313 feet In
height, and l0S feet In circumference
!. .se base. From measurements OF
ings Il is believed that certain OF
these trees are from 1900 TO $500
years old. The oldest tree In the world
is said TO exist on the island Of Cos.
on the coast OF Asia Minor. II Is sew
eral thousand years old. but just how
many no one has dared to say. The
tree is carefully preserved by wall
of masonry round II, and the trunk Is
30 feet I'm circumference.
But there are parts OF trees In the
form of useful timber which are even
older. probably. than any on the
stump. Beams in old buildings are
preserved today which are known
TO be over n thousand years old. Piles
driven by the Romans prior TO the
Christian era are perfectly sound to-
day, and IL is known that they have
been immersed in water for upward
of 1000 years.
