R0BS OTHER BIRDS OF PREY
"friaate Pelican" Secures Its Food
Chiefly by Forcing Its Weaker
Brethren to Disoorpe.

The frigate bird, also called the man
of-war hawk and the 'frigate pelican"
is sea bird, so called from it's attacks
on other birds. This bird, very large
and with black plumage, is capable Of
very powerful and rapid flight. It
sometimes measures ten feet from tip
to tip Of It's extended wings. On &C.
count Of its immense extent Of wing
and its dashing habits, it has been
called the swiftest bird that sweeps
the seas.
The frigate bird is tropical sea
bird of two species. The larger ranges
all round the world within the tropics {;
the smaller, is found only near the
eastern seas from Madagascar to Mo-
luccas and southwark to Australia.
Both species breed in large colonies,
building their nests on rocks, high
cliffs or lofty trees on uninhabited
islands. The birds often fly far out
to sea, but most of the time they re-
main near shore.
The frigate birds aerial evolutions
are extremely graceful and it scars to
great heights. 1t is said never to dive
for Its prey, but to seize fishes only
when they appear at the surface or
above it. Flying fishes form a great
part Of its food. This bird of prey also
pursues gulls and terms and eats the
fish it forces them to disgorge. The
male acquires under its bill a bright
scarlet pouch which is capable Of in

Raleigh obtained permission
from Queen Elizabeth to plant
an English colony in America,
and the expeditions which he
sent established q little colony
on Roanoke island. There In
) 1857 was born the first Ameri-
can child Of English parents.
She was named Virginia Dare,
after the virgin queen. This col
ony, due to England's war with
Spain, could not be properly sup
ported, and after a few years
perished. 1t was not until over
a century later that permanent
settlements were made. Daring
pioneers from Virginia pressed
south into the new territory, and
these. augmented by a large
company of Huguenots from
France and greater number of
Germans from the~Palatinate,
founded the first North Carolina
town of Newburn in 171O. BY
the time of the Revolution the
population in North Carolina
had increased to such an extent,

settled chiefly in the western
counties, that It ranked fourth

"a hours, and the packer must be sure
that the body cavity, as we'll as the
skin and flesh are free from heat be-
fore the birds leave the chill room.
Failure to observe this requirement
is responsible for much Of the ill-con-
ditioned poultry found In the public
markets. The range Of temperature
permitted, too. is small. Below 30 de-
grees Fahrenheit the flesh Is frosted !;
above 35 degrees Fahrenheit decay
proceeds too rapidly to permit of long
hauls to distant markets. OF course,
the birds can be frozen after they are
chilled. and so shipped, and this Is q
very excellent plan, especially If the
haul Is across a hot country, say the
specialists In the Department Of Agri-
culture.
Packing for Market
1t is customary to pack broilers with
the breasts up, and the feet hidden.
The prevailing method at present,
where refrigeration Is available, Is to
pack the chickens In small boxes hold
ing a dozen each, but small boxes suit
able for one or two chickens have re-
Gently been placed on the market. If
the business is to be permanent the
containers should carry the farm
name, or the name Of the shipper IL
the farm has no name. An attractive
advertisement on the box has a great
deal to do with marketing, fact
proved long ago to the satisfaction Of
shrewd business men.
Small packages are becoming more
and more popular. Two layers of
chickens In box are being discarded
for a single layer, it being realized
that refrigeration is more perfect If
the carcasses do not touch, and IL
pressure on such tender tissue as
chicken muscle Is eliminated as far
as possible. On this account heads
are wrapped in waxed paper and
turned back where they do not rest
against the soft flesh Of the breast
or thighs No longer does the packer
thrust old cocks, brOiling chickens and
fowls indiscrminately into q big su-
gar barrel, pressing them down in his
effort to pack tightly, and SO bruising
the flesh and tearing the skin.

CONCRETE FLOORS ARE BEST
Promote and Protect Health Of All
Farm Animals and Increase Prof.
its for Farmer.

A concrete barnyard makes a fine
exercise lot in all kinds of weather
and always affords dry spot for the
animals bed. Every shower washes
the surface clean and fushes the
droppings into the manure pits. Con.
crete yards tighten the work of the
housewife, as there is no mud to be
tracked on the walks and kitchen
floor. The use of rubber boots Is un-
necessary. On concrete floors not a
particle of grain need be wasted. The
way to the water trough is always dry,
smooth and passable. Concrete floors
promote and protect the health of farm
animals and increase the profits of
farming. stock raising and dairying.
