nEAR MRS. c.: I have a college
friend who went into country
log cabin in Virginia with her fam
lily, had to carry water in from the
spring, etc, and she spent her days
in the woods with her children by
the grace of fireless cooker!

prayerful frame of mind, and I do

less for keeping.
I am enclosing a list of our ap-
proved cookers. If you are going
to take care of it yourself and wipe
it out carefully there is no need to
spend extra money for the seamless
lining. The other will do just as
we'll with care and there is practi-
cally no difference in their eff
ficiency. The medium or small
sized cooker (seamed lining) would
serve your purpose at smaller
cost, and perhaps you could still
work in the ruffled negligee, which
any woman with your sense of
humor deserves to possess.
If you must choose, however,
believe you will get more comfort,
joy and even good looks out Of the
fireless cooker in the long run!

as the koOkaburra or laughing jackass,
or Jack as he IS aTsctionately termed
Whether Jack deserves It all is another
matter, because. while he admittedly kills
a good many snakes, though not nearly
so many, the bird men say, as are credited
to him. he is a cunning and wholesale
destroyer Of small birds both In ond out
Of the nests. Yet knowing good deal
about his character. the Australian con
fesses that he can't help loving him. He
looks a comedian and he laughs Ike a
coined an, whole -souled ringing roliick
ing laugh, changing from shrll 60 gut
tural, until one bird picking 1t up after
another the bush rings with their laugh
ing chorus. 1t IS the most unusual, most
typical bird note IN the world. So the
Australian credits him with a sense OF
humOT, believes that he really has seen
something funny to laugh at, and at
least smiles with him. In sentiment he
has the best kind Of protection bird
ever enjoyed. He is In the cities as we'll
as the bush and at home everywhere.
If in ignorance you were to shoot a
laughing iackass you would run some
risk OF being lynched by a crowd Of in
dlgnant Australians who agree to shut
their eyes to all his faults for the sake
of his jovial company. Though he sell
dom fishes, he is the giant kinghsher,
with an appetite as wide as his laugh.
and whenever the Australian sees a laugh
ing tackass in some zoo abroad he IS poor
company as long as tae bomesickness
lasts.
A very striking and strange bird is this

found only at the northern edge of the
continent. Its general resemblance to
our American bronze turkey. In shape as
in the red feshy waiting of the head
and neck, will be noticed though the
shield Of the breast is a bright yellow.
The brush turkeys use rotted leaves
and wood mold for the building OF
their egg mounds, which are otherwise
much like those of the lowan, or malice
hen, though in this hotter climate they
only scratch a separate hole for each
egg, which again is always placed small
end downward. From twelve to eight

MI This great continent, for ages is0-
49, lated from other regions Of the
globe has a wild life all its own. Among
the birds OF Australia. numbering over
1900 species. are many which are seen
nowhere else. and a number which be
cause of peculiar habits or talents have
a worldwide interest.
1t was a singular fact that two dis
tinct birds at two opposite edges Of Aus
tralia. aud separated by more than
thousand miles Of land, should have hit
upon the chicken raiser's way Of Matching
eggs so many ages before the chicken
breeder thought Of it. These two birds
pointed the way to the modern incubator
long before the poultry man began to
take notice.
The IOwan. or malice hen. shares with
the scrub turkey of northern Australia
the distinction of being the only birds
which hatch their eggs IN an artificial
incubator or egg oven, very carefully pre-
pared for its purpose. The malice hen
is found right across the southern part
Of the continent. In country known as
the malice. naturally covered with dense
growth OF drawfed eucalyptus. The same
incubator mound is used by a pair OF
birds for many years.
They scratch the light sandy soil into
conicaI heaps. using their feet. wings and
breast for the work, until they have a
circular mound about twelve feet in d.
ameter, and from two 10 four feet high
in the center. In the beginning of the
nesting season the center of the mounG
is followed out like the crater Of a vol
cano until the natural level Of the mound
is reached. Here they pack in wet leaves
and other vegetable litter, the slow, fer
