Making New Animals.

What a curious thing il Is to realize
/ that ST. Bernard, q Pekingese and a
Skye terrier all three come from a
common wild stock Man has been alter
ing domestic animals OF every kind
for centuries past. He has taken the
common pigeon and invented some
think like 60 distinct varieties, while
hundreds OF different sorts OF fowls
have come from the original jungle
bird OF Ceylon.
Curious experiments have been made
in coloring birds by feeding them on
certain foods. One experimenter OBJ
tanned pigeons OF a beautiful red by
putting in their food q chemical hav-
ing the jaw-breaking name OF "methyl-
trabromo fuorescine," and he got 9TH
ers OF rich blue by similar means.
II pays amazingly to breed birds
OF the perfect color and shape re-
CURED by fanciers. Seventy-two dra-
COON pigeons recently sold by auction
in London realized $500, the best bird
500. AS the pigeon did not weigh
more than pound, it might we'll be
described as "uorth its weight in
gold"
Canaries have beaten this record
In 1908 Mr.. James Glasscook, of Nor
wich, England, sold a pair for $3.50
These birds weighed about an ounce
apiece, so they are very costly morsels
Man is changing not only animals
and birds, but also fish and insects
Take bees, for instance. or course
various species Of bees are constant
ly crossed in order to get kinds that
will produce more honey. But the
great idea at present is 10 produce a
bee which shall be more useful for
fertlizing flowers than any Of the
present species.
With that object certain breeders
are trying to produce a bee with a
longer tongue than any possess at
present. For flowers like clover such
bee would be great increaser OF
fertile flowers, and, consequently,
seed
The latest branch Of creation which
man is tackling with a view to modi-
flying is fish. The experiments were
begun at the University OF Chicago,
about five years ago. Already herr
ings have been crossed with whitefsh,
the result being fish as well flaw
ored as the herring, but with fewer
bones.

Bug Breeding Business.

Breeding bugs as a business is not
as. crazy as it sounds, that is, when
it is carried on as they do it at AL
hambra, near Los Angeles. Locates
in this western town is very strange
industry, in that it consists in The
breeding OF certain species of bugs
of which 1t might naturally be supposed
there could not be too few in the
world. There is, however, an excellent
reason why this work should be under
taken. California is a great fruit
growing country, and the ravages OF
certain insects, especially the mealy
bug. on orchards was often SO extensive
that some method OF combating the
pests was urgently called for.
AS the result Of prolonged obser-
vat.on, field experts found that three
other species OF bugs are the natural
enepies of the meals, ever bent on de-
strHing it. But in number these wore
in sad disproportion to the vast and
rapidly increasing hordes Of the enemy.
and accordingly, on the principle OF
settling a thief 10 catch a thief, il was
decided that steps must be taken to
augment the forces Of the mealy hun.
tiers. To this end the Alhambra bug
house was established, and now
scientists are breeding destroyers BY
millions and sending them out as al
lies, Of the fruit-growers in the ever
lasting fight against an enemy who
would coon have Slapped the life Of a
gigantic industry.
The simplest OF methods are em
ployed in the bughouse in propaga-
ting the doughty little warriors.
Nearly the entire lower floor Of the
buildins-an ordinary dwelling house
coh1erted for the purposes fitted
With glass boxes, in each Of which a
family OF beetles carries on domestic
affairs and multiples beyond the
widest bounds Of the ordinary i'm
agination. The mealy bug is their
natural provender and the problem
Of supplying it had to be solved It
was discovered that next to citrus
foliage the mealy bug thrives best on
the sprout Of the Irish potato, so two
rooms Of an upper fiat were fitted
with bins in which are kept potatoes in
all stages Of the sprouting process.
Each sprout is the headquarters fer a
myriad OF mealy bugs, and thu. the
larders OF the families on the lower
hodr are generously supplied. The
benefit OF the bughouse to the fruit
industry is enormous. - Rochester

A Word for the Wintering Birds.

Fortunately for humanity in our
northern chimes, not all the birds wing
their way south on the approach Of
winter. Indeed, not only have we an
important proportion OF permanent
pathological residents, but these are
joined by sojourners coming down
from proximity 90 the arctic circle SO
as TO enjoy the comparative mildness Of
our zone as a winter resort. And
there are still others stopping over for
longer or shorter periods on the way
north or south.
Put yourself in the place OF ore OF
these feathered little brothers scurry-
ing around for breakfast OF a morn
ing when the ground and even tho
trees are covered with ice and snow.
You know you would probably starva
il FOOD were not somehow made avail
able. Well, so do the birds stave
when you forget 10 provide shelters
and bread crumbs or sunfover seed
or pop corn or chopped suet. Any
and all OF this provender is eagerly
appreciated by the hungry chickadee,
cardinal, nuthatch, dovny woodpeck-
er, titmouse or blue jay. And most OF

TO live and do their work il you left
an ear Of corn or an apple, from which
they could take bite, on the window
sill or the front porch, or right out on
the ground in city back yard.
"Their work ?" Yes; their happy
and important work. BY seeking on,
and devouring vegetation destroying in
sects, when they can get at them, our
winter birds save us millions Of dol
lars worth Of foodstuifs every year
Moreover, they make it much pleasanter
for us to take our walks abroad in the
good old summer time by insuring the
growth OF shade trees, from which
otherwise, nasty crawling caterpillars
might drop down our necks.
1t is a good thing to remember the
starving Russian children; but let us
not, for lack Of little kind thought, al.
low the busy birds to starve or freeze
TO death.

What A Live Boy Can Do.

How rapidly boys are proving their
value in the practical affairs Of life has
been shown again, this time in Ken
lucky, where "a ffteen-year-old boy
wins the State championship for grow
ing corn. This year the one acre CT
ground cultivated by the boy produced
IFS bushels and fcrty-two pounds of
marketable corn, weighed and tested
by experts in the employ of the State.
1t was not an accident that he made the
record because he had demonstrated
before that he knew how to raise corn
and the preceding year had grown
more than hundred bushels from the
same acre of ground. He had plenty
or company in the contest, for nearly
two thousand boys took part and scores
had crop record above a hundred
bushels from one acre.
The Kentucky record is but a dupli-
cation Of the record made in Ohio wears
ago when a boy from Darke county
made the State record for a number
OF years in succession and won and
held the State championship. Hun
dred-bushel clubs are Furnishing all
over Ohio now and have had a value
in stimulating interest in doing vsrk
the right way and raising q larger crop
from q smaller number OF acres. In
every county where this intensive and
scientific farming has been tried it has
been a success. The large value OF
these contests among boys is the in
creased interest aroused in production
and the proof the contest supplies of
the economic and productive value Of
the live boy on the farm, as the con-
tests show the immensely OF the con-
tribution he can make. The product
supplies its own proof of the financial
success that is certain when intensive
farming is done along scientific lines.

State that has such contests and keeps
them going is fortunate.

The Owls in the Attic.

| A California gentleman from the
city purchased big country home that
had been vacant several years. After
spending a large sum for improve
ments, he moved in to find that the rats
made his nights hideous and the goph-
ers destroyed his lawn, garden and
trees as soon as they were planted To
add to his discomfort, half-dozen
barn owls chose his house for meeting
place. They tapped, stamped, fought
and Kissed on the roof, and in the
attic, while the rats, in increasing num-
bers, scurried, squealed, and fought
in his bedroom and kitchen. One
night the exasperated man went out
with his gun to fire at an object in the
moonlight, and with dull thud heavy
| body fell on the veranda roof.
When morning came, he climbed into
the attic to find an open window lead
ing out to the veranda, where he
found the big owl he had killed, but,
on the floor under the rafters of the
attic, another blinked her big eyes to
see what danger was near. She left her
nest with two white eggs to crowd in
20 a corner. The eggs and the bird
did not interest the man so much as the
materials Of the nest, built Of bits OF
fur and bones OF his enemy, the rat
The attic hoor was strewn with bits
OF dried rat skins and bones He now
understood and stroked the Kissing,
frightened bird affectionately. That
night a halfdozen owls celebrated for
hours, Tapping, kissing and stamping,
but the disturbed sleeper only smiled.
He was glad his friends were having a
good time
After another week the noises OF the
house ceased, not a rat or a mouse was
to be seen, the only sound heard in
the night was a gentle swish Of wings
mingled with low Kisses; the noisy
shrieks had gone with the squealing
and scurrying rats.
Fearing that his friends had gone, he
returned to the attic one evening to find
the mother owl guarding two funny
little balls Of whitish gray cottony
down, with hooked beaks and tiny
talons resembling those OF the big fel-
Bow he had killed, and reminding him
of two tiny white monkeys huddled in
corner for warmth.
He snapped out his light to watch.
Noisclessly an owl friend entered with
supper FOR the little family. The meal
was big gopher.
The man watched an hour while owl
friends brought into the attic six
gophers, rat, and seven field mice.
Now the two little owls have grown
up, and the owner smiles and wishes
they were dozen. His fields, lawn
and garden are free Of gophers, rats
and mice

Oh Mothers! Mothers, leaning near
Your Children. in their play,
Their voices ring with laughter clear
As meadow larks in May.
may not ask you il you hear
Those other children voices dear.
But far-so far away.
An, little mothers! At your knee
The angel-faces pray.
Their fancies Hutter pleasantly
Round things too fair 10 say;
will not ask you il you see,
In all its pad misery
Another Child-today.
Gold curling head upon your breast,
Red lips against your own;
Sweet rounded limbs in rosy rest
Fond heart for loving prone.
But ever out-from East to West
hear those others, how unblest,
In dreadful monotone.
So haggard-far, view there there,
Beneath wizard sky:
Love mist-bels in the empty air,
So shrill feel them cry
And in their eyes there seems to be
Beyond their pale humanity
Cross. uplifted high!
Oh Little Child Of Mary-Maid,
Where Syrian waters lie,
Who eft meath Syrian cedars played,
Beneath Syrian sky,
Was it for these your Spirit prayed
When at the knee Of Mar> Maid
You wept, a child could die?
or Ma.y mild, oh little Child,
The God-hood in Thy breast
Oh, hailed afar by holy Star
&c heal a worlds unrest!
Oh, Lover of the world wide world
Succpur these waits of whrlwind-whirled
Defenceless to Thy breast.
