Bird Machine Economical of Energy

- HERE is an aerial machine far more
economical of energy than the best
%aeroplane invented, and that is the
bird known as the golden plover. This
bird, according to the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture's new bulletin
on Bird Migration" can fly 2400 miles
without a stop, making the trip in not
quite 4S hours, and using only two ounces
of fuel in the shape of body fat.
A thousand-pound %aeroplane, If as eco
nomical of fuel, would consume in a 90
mile flight not the gallon of gasoline
required by the best machines but only a
single pint. The fact that the screw
propeller of the a%eroplane has no lost
motion, while the to-and-fro motion of
the birds wings appears to be an uneco-
nomical way of applying power makes the
fact regarding fuel seem even more
strange.
Even the little humming bird can do
better than the aeroplane, for In Its mi
grafton across the Gulf Of Mexico 1t flies
over 500 miles in a single night. Nearly
all birds, in fact, show in their soaring
and sailing that they are proficient in the
use of several factors in the art of fly
ing that have not yet been mastered
either in principle or practice by the most
skillful of modern aviators.
Defying Gravity.
A vulture or a crane, after a few pre-
liminary wing beats, sets its wings and
mounts in wide sweeping circles to a
great height, overcoming gravity with no
e~xertion apparent to human vision even
when assisted by the most powerful tele-
scopes.
The Carolina rail, or sora. has small,
short wings apparently i'll adapted to
protracted flight, and ordinarily when
forced to fly does SO reluctantly and
alights as soon as possible. 1t flies with
such awkwardness and apparently be-
m so quickly exhausted that at least
one writer has been led to infer that most
of its migration must be made on foot;
the facts are, however, that the Carolina
rail has one Of the longest migration
routes Of the whole rail family and easily
crosses the wide reaches of the Carib-
bean Sea.
Ocean Flight Easy.
The popular belief that birds under
ordinary circumstances find ocean flight
wearisome, and that after laboring with
tired wings across the seemingly endless
waste they sink exhausted OF reaching

Giant Seaweed in Pacific
Contains Very Much Potash

\ Ii along the Pacific Coast from Mex
"A leo to Alaska there is a vast quantity
of fertilizing material in the form of
giant seaweed known as "kelp." This
material" says an investigator In the
Uniter States Department of Agrieul-
lures new bulletin (No. 1907, II treated
by a process similar to that used to con-
vert the waste from fish canneries into
fertilizers, will yield a commercial fer
tilizer of particular value because of its
relatively large content of potash"
Any scheme for using kelp on a large
scale as a fertilizer must be based on
some method of concentrating its valu-
able constituents, because green kelp
contains SO much water. Investigations
seem to show that at present, consider
ing the economic conditions on the Pa
cifc Coast, kelp may be best prepared
for the trade merely by drying and
grinding.
Even wet kelp, which contains IS per
cent moisture, contains 2 IL per cent of
potash, where stable manure, alfalfa and
cowpeas all contain less than one per
cent. Drying, however, increases the per-
centage of potash to 1873 per cent. This
commercial product also has 1.6 per cent
OF nitrogen and some phosphorus. On the
retail market of the Pacific Coast the
total value of a ton of kelp should be,
according to estimates, $22.94. In the
eastern wholesale market it should bring
$16.45.
The main fertilizers termed potash
carriers today used in this country are
the German potash salts. Laboratory
tests have shown that kelp is quite as
effective as the potash salts, and dry kelp
would enter the trade as a potash car
rier" to compete with the imported prod
ucts.
Kelp has been used as a fertilizer for
centuries in the British Isles, and has
been so valued there that lands carrying
kelp harvesting privileges brought spe-
cial prices. In New England also kelp
has been found valuable.
The kelp on the Pacific Caost differs
from the seaweeds of the Atlantic because
of their much greater size. Already this
produce of the sea gardens of the West
has been used in Alaska, particularly in
fertiliSing potatoes and on truck gard
ems. Near San Pedro, Cal, kelp has been
harvested mechanically and shipped in
the crude, undried condition to the
ranches and orchards of that part of the
state.

Cheddar-P Process Cheese
Is Better Than Ordinary

THAT Cheddar-process cheese, If put
i up in alright cans, has certain ad-
vantages over cheese handled in the ordi-
nary way, is the conclusion reached by
the Dairy Division Of the United States
Department of Agriculture. after a series
of tests which were continued a number
of years. This method. in the opinion Of
the specialists, seems to meet the needs
of handlers who have been trying to de-
wise some individual package for this
kind of cheese or a method of handling
that would eliminate cutting and waste
between the factory and the consumer.
AS a result of the experiments it was
found that it was commercially practic-
able to press the cheese In hoops of small
diameter, cut 1t into pieces of desired
weight, and seal It in alright tin cans.
This provides a sanitary package which
keeps the cheese from exposure to air
or contamination, and prevents loss Of
weight by evaporation. In addition to
these advantages there is no rind, which,
OF course, is always a loss.
The extra cost to the manufacturer, It
Is estimated, is about 3 cents for labor
and cans; a part of this cost, however.
is offset by the fact that there is no loss
on account of evaporation and rind.
Cheese cured in cans has certain points
of superiority that, besides its cleanliness,
recommend 1t to many consumers. 1t Is
soft enough to spread and when well
ripened has a well-developed Cheddar
flavor. If there are facilities for keeping
it cool 1t should prove to be popular with
camping parties and on boats.
IT, .rA@ ,-l~ ls,~ 81. $1,000 .t--
from stores would find canned cheese to
be convenient, as 1t enables them to lay
in a supply that will last and keep for one
or two months in cold weather.
When cheese is packed in an air-tight
can, the formation of gas that is char
acteristic in cheese ripening sometimes
causes swelling of the can, but this does
not necessarily indicate that the contents
are unfit for consumption.
Cheese handled in this way is as per-
ishable as any other cheese, and should
not be allowed to stand in a warm room
too long before using; this is a point
which should be made clear to consum-
ers, who may think that a cheese put up
in this manner will keep Indefinitely. The
length of time that cheese of this kind
can be kept depends very largely on the
temperature.
The lower the temperature the more
natural fermentation of the cheese Is
checked. At temperature Of 40 degrees
Fahrenheit canned cheese probably will
remain good for several months.
At the present time one of the large
cheese factories in Wisconsin, in coop.
Grafton with a cheese dealer, is endeavoN
ing to extend its trade in this form of
product.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-04-08

land, is disproven by facts, according to
the new pamphlet. 1t seems rather that
the powers Of locomotion with which ma
ture has endowed many birds are so won
derful that under normal conditions they
can easily cross the Gulf of Mexico at
its widest point and even pass without
pause over the low, swampy coastal plain
to the higher territory beyond.
So little averse are birds to an ocean
flight that many fly from Eastern Texas
to the Gulf Coast of Southern Mexico
though this 400 miles of water journey
hardly shortens the distance of travel by
an hours flight. Thus birds avoid the
hot, treeless plains and scant provender
of Southern Texas by a direct flight from
the moist, insect-teeming forests of
Northern Texas to a similar country in
Southern Mexico.
Where Do Birds Migrate?
Everybody knows that birds when they
migrate in the Fall generally "go South"
but knowledge is seldom more specific.
The departments new bulletin brings out
the fact that while some birds 60 to
Florida or the West Indies or Mexico,
others, such as the bobolink and rice bird,
go as far south as Paraguay and the
southern part of Brazil.
Much has been learned about bird mi
grafton but much yet remains to be
learned, and the following is one of the
most curious and interesting of the I'M
solved problems. The chimney swift is
one of the most abundant and best
known birds of eastern United States.
With troops of fledglings catching their
winged prey as they go and lodging by
night in tall chimneys, the flocks drift
slowly south joining with other bands,
until or the northern coast Of the Gulf
OF Mexico they become an innumerable
host. Then they disappear.
Did they drop into the water or hiher-
nate in the mud, as was believed of old,
their obllteration could not be more CON-
plete. In the last week of March a Joy
full twittering far overhead announces
their return to the Gulf Coast, but their
hiding place during the intervening five
months is still the swift's secret.
