Communication

Mr.. Editor:
/ l will here try and interest some
of our many readers about our birds,
the feathered tribe Now, to enter
into minute description of the vari-
Gus divisions and subdivisions would
| require a volume, but these few
lines hope will suffice for the pres
ent. These feathered creatures are
from the minutest honey bird to the
ostrich, and gigantic wandering al
batros, sea bird of long and great
fight.
On the fourth great day of crea-
= ton God called into existence these
beautiful creatures called birds, in
great variety. and so exquisitely
adorned, and which add so much
charm to the world by their presence
and song.
The nightingale breathes such
sweet music as to arouse this express
sion-as there is this music on earth,
what can the music of Heaven be?
Wonderfully are they constructed.
Those of great flight, as the eagle
and vulture, possess enormous wing
power, and but little marrow in the
wing bone, but are filled instead
with air. Now, domestic fowl, as
the barnyard hen, and those of the
gallinacious order, which includes
those of the pheasant kind, are filed
with substance called marrow.
If we would but halt by the busy
paths of life and consider more the
habits Of these beautiful creatures,
and cultivate a taste for their sweet
music, we would derive much plea
sure. Observe with what wonderful
skill their nests are constructed pos
sessed with Il remarkable intuitive
something, commonly called instinct,
by which they are guided in their
course, the nest is always in readi-
ness for the reception of the first
egg; and see the patience displayed
during incubation, and the rearing
of the helpless young; this patience
is an example to man.
Some of the chief divisions of birds
are the raptorial, or those of prey,
such as the eagle, falcon and hawk;
natatorial, or swimming as the
swan, goose and duck the gratitorial
or wading, as the crane, and the
scansorial, or climbing birds, such a
the parrot and woodpecker of which
there are many varieties. Much val
liable information can be had from
the study of ornithology.

A notable example of home-plann-
ed utilities is found upon a farm in
northern Utah. BY personal plan
ming and hard work the owner of
this farm gradually has equipped his
house with pressure water system,
laundry containing a power wash
ing machine, wringer, mangle, and
drying machine, a heating plant,
electric lights, range, electric heat
ers for emergency use in chambers,
and a vacuum cleaning system.
