One day, while Willie and Henry
were playing in field they disturbed
a bumblebees' nest. and began run
mig with the bees after them.
When they had run for few yards,
Harry breathlessly painted: willie.

To which Willie replied: II know
it; but I can't think of but one prayer"
And Willie, thus admonfshed, called
out between gasps: "Oh Lord. for
what we are about to receive. make VI
truly thankful!"-Natural Monthly.

'HoMING INSTINCT" IN BIRDS
Attachment to First Home Is Much
the Same as Is Evidenced
In Humanity.

The habit of birds in migrating
South when winter comes on is in
fiuenced by the need of finding suf-
fcient supply of food. AS food grows
scarce when winter approaches in the
farthest northern places where birds
live they naturally turn to the South,
where, their instinct tells them, food
will be plentiful. The return of the
birds in the spring to their accustomed
haunts in the North is one of the evil
dences of their possession of an in
stinct which is also strong in man.
The environment in which bird or
human being Is brought up generally
becomes permanent part of its ma
ture. Ornithologists have not yet
made 1t clear just what enables the
bird to find its way back and forth to
the same spot every year, and our
knowledge is confined to the fact Of
what the ''homing instinct" does.
After they mate and build their
first nest and bring up their first fam
lily, birds cherish a fondness for that
spot much the same as the attach
ment that man feels for his early
home. The spring migration of birds
is their joyful return home after a
temporary sojourn abroad to secure
the means of livelihood.

4coUNT' TOO ABSENT MINDED
Principal Reason Why One Interna-

Called Off.

Henry P. Dawson of the Morgan
banking firm was talking about inter-
national marriages:
Well" he said. Il know of one in
ternational marriage that failed,
thank goodness, to come off. The girl
was the daughter of a Paint Rock
millionaire. The man was a count.
Spanish count.
''The count was absent minded.
That was his undoing. The girls
father gave dinner for him in the
Paint Rock castle overlooking Paint
Rock, and at the dinners end the
count got up to light cigarette. and
then, by jove, started to remove the
plates.
The guests watched him in an
0pen-mouthed silence. His napkin
slung over his arm, he had got nearly
all the plates removed when his mill
Nonaire host said to him gently:
wake up, George You're not

EXPLAINING SONGS OF BIRDS
Beautiful Notes Of the Nightingale
for Instance, Are inspired by
Paternal Love.

It is generally assumed that bird
sings because he is happy, but sci
ence goes deeper for an explanation
of the why and wherefore of the
birds song. Natures optimistic JOY
In constructive progress is expressed
in the singing of the male birds who
charm their mates to further their
wooing, and continue after eggs are
laid to encourage the fulfllment OF
Matching.
The song stops when the little birds
come out of the shell. The nightin-
gale, for weeks during the period OF
nest-building and Matching, charms
his mate and human ears near him
with the beautiful music of his love
song. But as soon as the little night
ingales come from the eggs the song
changes to sort of cultural croak.
implying anxiety and sense of respon-
sibility.
If the nest and contents were de-
stroyed the nightingale would at once
resume his beautiful song to inspire
his mate to help him build another
nest and start all over again the low
ing work of being fruitful and multi
plying.

BR0ILERS ON FARM
Early Chick Is Most ProfitabIe-Large
Demand for Fowls Of Two 70
Three Pounds.
(By A. G. sM1rH.)

The early chick is the most profit
able, yet there is profit in the late
chick provided 1t is not too late.
There is an exceptionally large de-
mand in some sections for lightweight
roasters and broilers of from rwo o
two and a half pounds. This fur.
nishes a splendid opportunity for
those who wish to rear and market
chicks without being obliged to house
them. Hatched in May or June. they
should easily weigh two or two and
one-half pounds before October /. If
especially well fed, they should reach
that weight still earlier. This is the
most favorable time to hatch and raise
chickens, as the parent stock has been
out Of doors long enough TO acquire
splendid health and remarkable vigor
Eggs, if sensibly set, should hatch al
most perfectly and the chicks should
live and thrive.
The equipment required is very
small-a good sized box or a barrel,
covered with waterproof paper, set in
a dry sheltered place. may be used
both to set the hen in and to house
the brood, though the barrel is rather
unsuitable for the brood after the
chicks are weaned, especially if there
are many of them.
Both hen and chicks should be al.
lowed free range after the chicks are
a few days old, to pick up a large
share of their living, but in addition
it is a good plan to feed them at night,
and to give them all they will eat, as
they will grow faster and will either
be marketable at, an earlier age or
weigh more. and consequently bring
more, at a given time. Chickens Of
this weight. will not, it is true, bring
a fortune, but it must be remembered
that they cost very little to rear. The
fact that the earlier they are mar.
keted, the better the price, should not
be lost sight of. For this reason, 1t
pays to feed them aJlittle where there
is not an opportunity to pick up abund-
ance Of food.

CONCRETE HENHOUsE.
Correct Methods Of Making Good
Quality Of Material.
Building Can Be Made Ratproof With
Little Trouble and Slight Expense
Perfect Drainage Is Inn
portant Requisite.

With the rapid decrease of our tim
Der supply and the resulting increase
in the price of lumber there has come
a necessary demand for a new build
ing material. Nowhere has this de-
mand been felt more keenly than on
the American farm, where lumber has
till now been practically the only
building material. On account, how
ever, of the farmers nearness to the
timber itself, he has been the last one
to feel the full effect of the shortage.
In concrete building material has
been discovered that in many instances
has proved to be far superior to lum-
Der. brick or building stones on &C.
count of its durability. economy and
safety from fire loss. Moreover, IL
can very often be used at the most
convenient time by the farmer himself
with a very little assistance.
frequently cement users have made
costly mistakes by not informing
themselves properly before starting
their work concerning the correct
methods of making good concrete. For
this purpose the following materials
are necessary: ID cement; (2) sand;
(3) gravel or crushed stone, and (4)i
water.
Cement is, therefore, only one part
of a concrete mixture. A far greater
proportion of sand and gravel than
cement is required. The quantity of
cement to be used and the strength
of the concrete depends entirely on
the quality and size of the sand and
gravel, and it is of the utmost i'm
portance that these be of the right
kind. With an equal amount of CO.
ment far stronger concrete may be
made If the sand and gravel are of
the proper size and correctly pro-
portioned. 1t is sometimes thought
that any kind of soil of sandy ma
ture, mixed with small percentage
Of cement will make concrete, but
this idea is incorrect.
In the selection of sand great care
should be used, and attention should
be given to its quality, for sand con-
