MATCHED ON HORSEHAIR.
Birds Build Nests With Anything
But Twigs.
From London Tit Bits.

From London Tit Bits.
The jackdaw has always had the
reputation of being a bold and i'm
pudent thief. The limit has been reach
ed by a pair of these birds which have
been watched plucking hair from the
back of a live donkey in Somerset
shire paddock. and carrying off the
stolen material for the purpose Of lin
ing their nest.
Most birds build true 10 type. but
there are good many. like these jack
DAVIS. which will avail themselves OF
any material that happens to be handy.
Some years ago the British war vessel
II. NJ. S Sybille was wrecked off Lam
berts bay on the southwest coast Of
Africa
About a year later a party went out
to have a look at the wreck. One OF
them climbed to the lookout" at the
masthead and found there a cor
morant's nest with five eggs. The nest,
which is now in a London museum, was
built Of bits of steel wire from the
rusty rigging and lined with pieces or
eordage from the same source.
An Indian crow. with similar odd tastes,
got the Calcutta Telephone Company into
trouble The enterrrising bird built its
nest at the central office, where four wires
for the framework the result was to es-
tablsh electrical communication between
all four lines. When subscriber rang up
some one he wanted. he was answered
from four different offices at once.
For some unknown reason the Ameri-
can robin, which Is really not robin At
all, but thrush. is very fond of using
snake skin as building material. Snakes
shed their skins every year. and II Is the
old dead skin which the robin likes. The
American robin has been imported into
England and is doing well.
The oriole shows a curious preference
for pieces of worsted thread and string
for lining her nest. Our common house
sparrow has similar tastes.
If any "P. w" reader cares 10 put out
in his garden a bundle OF pieces of cut
worsted or a hank of horsehair he will
have great fun in watching wild birds
squabble for IL.
Currycomb combings are in special de-
mand, for, while all birds can easily ind
material for the framework Of their
spring homes. good lining is not SO easily
come by.

The Changing Winnebagoes.

From the Southern Workman.
A great change is now taking place in
the Winnebago Indian tribe, once re-
garded as the most degraded tribe of
Indians in the United States. There has
come an industrial and a spiritual awak-
ening, and the longing for new life is
shown in the movement which has begun.
OF the 212 families on the reservation.
lis are now living on their own allot-
ments, and fifty-nine on their inherited
lands. They are beginning to show that
they realize the value of their land and
appreciate It, So wonderful is the change
that is taking place that the veteran
missionary, DR.. Williamson, who has
given his whole life to Indians and under
stands them through and through, speaks
Of it as a modern miracle. and in the
hearts Of those who are working for the
Winnebagoes there is hope. They believe
that there still remains in this tribe the
desire for a better life, and in spite of
the conditions under which IL has lived
for SO many years there are some MEM
bers of it who have made good and make
the younger Winnebagoes feel that they.
too, can come out from the life which
seemed their inheritance.

infesting insects, which will be decidedly
less numerous.
ITO use the sulphate of iron as a spray
the best method is to dissolve ten pounds
of it in five gallons of hot water, apply
hot to all rooSts, nest boxes and all in
terror fixtures that are Aot whitewashed,
using spray pump with a good pressure
of from forty to eighty pounds so as to
drive the solution into every crevice. One
application a month in summer and one
every two months in winter will be found
effective to keep lice and mites looking
for more congenial quarters.
whenever cholera and rOup are prev
alent, spray the entire poultry yard
with strong solution Of sulphate of iron
applied hot and abundantly from once
to twice a week, and this will purify the
ground and arrest infection.
1T is not always possible to avoid col
lection of manure, but these collections
or piles may be sterilized successfully
and made impossible as breeding nests
simply by the generous distribution of
sulphate of iron, in liquid or dry form.
1t gives better results than kerosene, for
it does not harm the manure, and the
cost is very. light. 1t penetrates every
where. BY keeping constantly in the
stable a barrel of this solution of
strength of about two pounds for each
gallon of water. and using a common
sprinkling can, the sterilization would be
accomplished at an approximate cost or
less than l cent per house per day.

The Germans at Babylon.
From the Review of Reviews.

From the Review of Reviews.
The excavation of Babylon is not yet
completed. A good deal of the ancient
city still lies beneath some forty or fifty
feet of later ruins. The city being ex-
cavated by the Germans is chiefly the
capital Of Nebuchadnezzar. In fact. moth
ing preceding the time of Sennacherib
has been found. That monarch boosted
that. he completely destroyed the first
Babylon. throwing even it's foundations
into the river Euphrates On one of the
larger mounds, known as Babil. DR..
Koldewey believes there stood the an
cient structure known in the Bible as
the Tower of Babel. The excavators have
already revealed huge arches of passage
ways leading through the ruins. These
arches, modern scholars believe, once
supported the famous hanging gardens.
The explanation is that the overhanging
foliage of the different terraces gave the
appearance of being suspended In the
air.
The German zeal for investigation in
scholarship. In fact. funds for the work
have been subscribed, as has already
been said, by the Deutsche Orientgesell-
schaft. However, it may be that there is
also a political motive behind the work.
The ambition Of the German government
to dominate in the near east is well
known. When the Bagdad railroad is
completed across the northern desert,
which will be a triumph of German diplo-
macy and engineering skill, this land of
vast mineral wealth. agricultural posi-
bilities and ancient ruins may then be-
come, to all intents and purposes, Ger
man territory.

Keeping Clean.

Let us bring in some outside testimony
to add to that given often in this column
on the matter of cleanliness. Frank
Baakes, in the Iowa Farmer. had this to
say about keeping the poultry surround
ings clean:
''Of all the factors tending TO make
poultry success, there is none of more
Importance than cleanliness.
THE chief objections to the accumu-
lations of hen manure in poultry house
are strong ammonical vapors arising
from the manure, poisoning the air OF
the house and causing difficulties to the
respiratory organs of the fowls. These

conditions present is a veritable hotbed

break out and spread with lightninglike

"All Of these conditions can be reomved,
healed and overcome by the use of sui

pound of iron, sulphur and oxygen. The
tonic effect of iron has never been dis
puted the same may be said of the
Alternative effect of sulphur, while oxygen
is the most essential of life-sustaining
elements known as we'll as one of the
most powerful antiseptics and germicides.
"Sulphate of iron may be used either
dry in a solution as spray, Or combined
with lime as a whitewash, but the most
effective way is to use all three methods
at the same time
Every morning take a few handfuls
of the dry sugar sulphate of iron and
sprinkle evenly over the droppings of the
night before, whether these be on the
floor or on drop boards. The sulphate
will combine with the ammonia of the

After employing this method for time
it will also show that in SO combining a
