Eou-Hatching Periods.

Birds such as the catbird and other
perching species, which have altricial
young needing care in the nest for
some time, do not incubate their eggs
as long as those like the shorebirds
and ducks which have precocial young,
says the American Forestry Magazine
The eggs of most common small birds
REQUIRE incubation for from ten days
to two weeks. Those of the fowl-like
birds such as the ruffed grouse about
three weeks, those of the ducks about
four weeks, and the eggs of the emeu
n large ostrich-like bird of Australia
must be incubated for about ten
weeks.

To make more effective the $100,000 that is being spent to advertise Mont gomery County farm lands to the out side world, should not something like the plan of the Fl Centro (California) Chamber of Commerce be adopted That plan, as has been outlined in the press, is simply this. The Chamber of Commerce has obtained pledges from owners of more than 300 acres of land within a radius of a few miles of El<Centro to allow their lands subdivided into units of ten to forty acres to be sold to actual settlers on long time. Let us not overlook that while lands are higher in California than in Alabama, and that the value of what they produce per acre is what many believe far beyond what can bt done in Alabama. There are lands 1T this state that can rival any in Cal ifornia in value per acre of produc- tion.-Montgomery (Aia.) Journal.
