HOW AS|AT|CS TAME EAGLES
Spirits Of Fierce Birds Are Broken by
Deprivation of Sleep for Long
Periods.

The Asiatic eagle is the golden
eagle. 1t is a biz bird. many pounds
in weight, and exceedingly swift in
flight, as we'll as fierce when attacked.
Indeed, to see the natives on horse
back carrying golden eagles on their
arms is q strange sight, for the birds
are usually tame, when one considers
how they act when free.
The eagle fancier has problem
in tanning, much less training, a gold

where an eagle frequently rests dur
ing the day. He climbs to this place
and ties a live fox there, trailing the
rope into some hcaped-up stones to
form cavern in which he hides, firm

When the attention Of the soaring
eagle is attracted by the fox, the eagle
drops down and Kills 1t. 80 intent
is the greedy bird on tearing his prey
that he doesn't notice the dead fox
is slowly being drawn along the
rocks. When it is within easy reach
the hunter casts a net over the eagle
and secures him.
Kept absolutely in darkness, and
with drums beating night and day
so it cannot sleep, the spirit Of the
eagle is broken. When he shows signs
of submission the trainer feeds him a
little at a time and gradually wins
his respect. if not his affection. WITH
the passage of months the eagle at

and trains him.-Detroit News.

DISAGREE Over Famous Vine.

On Roanoke island, off the North
Carolina coast, stands an ancient
Scuppernong vine. 1t is near the
grave of Virginia Dare and the site of
the "Lost Colony" Nobody knows the
age of that vine, but many nearby
vines, which seem more youthful by
comparison, actually are known to be
more than one hundred years old.
A regional contribution to Ameri'
can mythology credits Sir Walter
Raleigh with having planted the vine
where it now stands, and further
claims are that it is the original Soup
pernong. Unimaginative investigators,
however, say that the original Soup
pernong grew wild in Tyrrell county,
North Carolina, along the Scupper
nong river, well before 1850, and that
from this county the species found its
way to Roanoke island.

lings from 81 to IS hours to hatch
after they pick the shells; therefore
il is advisable to allow the hen to
get off the nest for feed and water
when the first ducklings pick the
shell and then cOntine her to the nest
until the Matching is over. Ducks
eggs need more moisture than hens
eggs at Matching time, as it takes the
ducks much longer to get out Of the
shell. Poultry specialists in the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture
advise. therefore, that the eggs should
be sprinkled literally with warm wa
ter previous to hatchlng
All duck eggs should be tested at
least twice during incubation, prefer
ably on the seventh and fourteenth
days, and the infertile eggs and those
with dead germs removed. Dead
germs in duck eggs decOmpOse very
rapidlv and are often detected by their
Odor and should be removed from the
Incubator.
Duck eggs having pure white shells
can be tested as early as the fourth
or fifth day and the infertile eggs
sold TO bakers for use in the kitchen.
Ducks are much easier to brood ar
officially than chickens, but they may
also be raised under hens success
fully. If raised by the latter method,
If is advisable to contine the hens
and allow the 0ucklings free range,
as the hens are apt to wander too
far away with their broods. Duck
lings which are TO be sold as green
ducks are not usually allowed much
range, but are fed heavily and forced
for rapid growth. The duckllngs
which are to be kept for breeding
should have the web Of their feet
punchel, using a different number
of punch marks for each year so that
their age can be readily determined.

MONKEYS Mourned Comrade,

Monkeys are very human in their
desire to help one another, and quite
skillful in their rude surgery. An AT.
rican explorer tells story Of a fe-
male monkey that was shot by one Of
q campaign party that he was with.
Several Of the tribe Of which she was
a member came as close to the tent
where her body was lying as they
dared, holding out their arms and
making mournful cries, as If begging
that she should be given back to them.
Then a gray old man monkey, prob.
ahly the chief, came still closer, chat.

weeping. When given the body, he
