eaten, left behind on the range. In a
single year the crows destroyed some.
thing over five hundred chicks
Devices of all sorts were tried in
order to stop these ravages. Various
kinds of "scare-crows" were tried but
with no effect whatever. Dead crows
were hung up on stakes as warning
to their fellows, but instead Of operat'
ing as warnings, they appeared to
serve as invitations to the dance"
Decoying the birds was tried, but with
losses. Poisoning even was resorted
to, but all to no avail. The losses con
tinued almost constantly.
Finally a plan was adopted which
is perfectly safe and sure in it's opera
ton. 1t consists simply in running
strands of binder Irvine about two feet
apart over the whole of the poultry
range occupied by the young birds,
until they reach such size that they
are able to take care of themselves.
These strings are run over the tops oil
the brooder houses, and on supports
made by cross strands Of either wire
or two or three strings Of binder Irvine
twisted together. These cross strands
are held up where necessary by posts.
The whole network of strings thus
formed is put at such height that the
attendants in working about the yard
will not hit the strings when standing
upright. The area covered in with
strings in this way at the Maine sta
ton poultry plant is usually about
three acres per year. The expense Oh
covering this area is from SIS to S2O
for twine. The labor of putting it up
is comparatively small. 1t forms per
feet and complete protection against
both crows and hawks.

NATURAL ENEMIES OF CHICKS
DepredatIons by Crows and Ha~s
May Be Prevented by Device
adopted by Maine Station.

One of the chief difficulties that III.
poultryman has to contend with Is ths
continued loss of chicks, and Soma
times even of nearly full-grown bird,
as a consequence Of the depreciation.
of natural enemies. 1t is safe to saw
that the magnitude Of the loss from
this source is not anything like fully
realized by anyone who has not kent
an accurate account of all his birds
In the experimental work with poul.
try at the Maine station, a record O,
every bird is kept. In this way it has
been possible to check up and form
an adequate estimate of the losses dus
to the creatures that prey upon poul
try, and, OF necessity, a good deal Of
attention has been devoted to ths
problem Of how these losses may BE-
cut down.
In the experience Of the above Sta.
ton the most destructive natural en-.
envy of poultry has been found to be
the crow. The depredations of the
hawks are more spectacular, perhaps,
but in the long run far less destructive.
A hawk will only visit a poultry yard
occasionally, ,and especially If he Is
shot at once or twice will be wary
about approaching 1t again. On the
contrary the crow is steady and per.
sistent robber. He will continue bis
depredations just as long as it is phys
ically possible for him to do so. For
q number of years crows killed and
either carried away, or left behind
partly eaten, a large number Of chicks
on the Maine station plant. These
losses were not by any means confined
to the small chicks, but half-growl
birds, each nearly equal in weight to
the crow itself, were killed, partly

Recent experiments indicate that IL
eggs are canned In a strictly sanitary
manner while fresh, and kept frozen
they will remain in good condition for

Quoting tests along this line. The
eggs are kept in cans instead Of their
original shells, and are completely
frozen instead Of being kept at tenn

the victories he has won over the Rus
slams.
"With troops of the courage and en-.

al must succeed. 1t would be untime-

plctely beaten or broken. They are
fighting bravely and well.
Marshal Won Hindenburg and Gener-
| al Hadendorff, his chief Of staff, have
no illusions concerning what is before
the German army in Poland. Both dc.
clarad there would be much hard fight

but they were confident of final sue

Throughout the kaiser $ troops ad.
vance in Poland, Marshal Won linden
burg's forces have been opposed by
vastly superior nuilbers Of Russians.
In telling of the fighting which re.
suited in the Slays retirement before
Warsaw, the marshal said:
"The railroads, which make quick
movement possible to the Germans,
have been n factor in my army's sue.
cess against the Russians numerical
superiority, but my troops have shown
the utmost courage and endurance in
battle and during thcir long marches.

Considering their defective rail.

The Germans are constantly shifting
their forces to deliver new blows.
They forced the Slavs to retire 30
miles on the line running fron LOwic2
and Lod2 to Cracow The Russian po'
sition is only 90 miles from Warsaw.
Marshal Won Ilihdcnburg said there
were 30 to 40 Russian army corps
approximately 100000 to 100000
mcn-opposing the German and Aus
trinn line, which stretches over $50

Since November l3 the Germans

"Thcy have suffered enormously,
