The birds very particular as TO the quality OF
the sheep they always choose the best in the flock
The bird settles the ground Its quarry and be-
gins hopping around. When good chance offers, he
leaps upon his prey usually perching the oins, and
begins tearing the wool. finally getting his beak
into the flesh Then the sheep begins tearing around

balances himself by his outstreched wings.
When the sheep stumbes the bird rises into tho air
until tho beast regans his feet This nIanoeuvring is
kept up until tho sheep falls exhausted and thus be-
easy prey to the birds. which then flock
around him. The birds apparently eat the fat.
Why birds that were formerly insectivorous should
become flesh eaters is not easily explained but there
many theories One Is that the natural curiosity
of the bird led him attack the sheep and thus satisfy
his bump OF inquisitiveness to what OF
ture that might be.
Another theory is that lack of food caused the birds
to feed the fat thrown ou at sheep stations thus
creating appetite which led to the desire sample

reasonable one Is that the birds the sheep

Ice storms have been growing more and

of them occurred in Boston and vicinity.

these ice storms will grow commoner year by

Professor Brooks has devoted his best scien.
tific knowledge to the study OF these Ice
storms. One of them occurred in the night OF
February 1917. Until it broke the wind was
from the south, and the thermometer eight
points above freezing. BY sunset a fog had
filed the entire Back Bay and basin of Boston.
Three hours later, as the fog spread its ten
tacles in various directions. the drops began
to fall They looked like rain drops, but they
painted an icy coating upon everything
Another similar storm occurred in the morn

turkey OF 1880 and that there is average Of three
quarters Of pound less white meat the domesti.
Gated turkey than there is wild fowl, which Is
his progenitor.
The reason for this Is simple when learns It,
1t is simply that tho turkey, under domesticaton has
been discouraged from flying and has been taught to
use his legs moro.
The breast meat is formed by the great flight muscles
OF the birds wings. and naturally these can only hold
their own by constant use.
Tine wild turkey uses It's wings much as any flying
bird and SO the breast muscles which the wings
arc strong and thick. The turkey has been en-
couraged to stay within limited domains and discour-
aged from lying The consequence is that It uses its
wings rarely, and depends upon lis legs The in
eFltaule result is that the wings grow smaller as all
dsuscd or little used organs do while the legs get
steadily bigger and tougher This process that
mas been going on since the bird was fret domes
ticated, and the results show today in marked de-
crease in the size OF wings breast
Much the same causes have worked IN the cases Of

there Is on the breasts of these fowls The wild
goose and Wild duck have much breast mea, than
