The Condor Once a Fearsome Bird

a bird of prey, but feeding quite willingly upon
carton which most birds of prey would pass
up with disdain.
The nature OF its feet is such that It cannot
roose readily upon threes and Is usually found
on fiat rocks in high and inaccessible places. Its
eggs are found in these aerie roosts and after
they have Matched the young birds remain at
home for year, being unable to fly before
that time.
Even after they have tested their wings and
found themselves able to navigate, they still
remain at home and hunt with their parents
fer two years or more. h contrast to the
glossy black plumage of the adult birds the
young are of dull brown which has led 10
their being given the name of brown condors.
They are not, however, as the name might i'm
ply differing species Of the bird.

Karakul Sheep

N opportunity to retain in the United ssstes
large sum annually, which goes abroad
for the skins of the karakul sheep is seen by
the Department OF Agriculture, which has found
conditions In the Southwestern States ideal for
the raising Of this type sheep. The skins go
into the production of the furs known as
broad-tail Persian lamb and karakul.
There are comparatively few herds OF ths
karakuls In this country and further importa-
tions from their native land is forbidden, be-
cause of the fear that certain animal diseases
in Bokhara, home Of the sheep, might be intro
duced into this country The herds already in
this country offer ample opportunity to raise
this type sheep, however and the depart
ment is cooperating with those who wish to

Plant Points North

THE so-caled compass plants illustrate ma
~ lures ability to adapt growing things to
adverse conditions. These plants are usually
found In extremely hot and dry areas where
the withering rays Of the monday sun COM
bined with lack of water would make plant
life almost impossible if the usual horizontal
growth Of leaves prevailed
The plants, in order to escape the extreme
heat Of the sun during the middle Of the day,
carry their leaves In position such that the
edge Of the leaf Is pointed to the sky. The
face of the leaf Is turned either toward the
morning or evening rays and because Of this
they point approximately either North or South.
which gives them the name they commonly
bear. The resin-weeds and the prickly lettuce

"A fHEN the condor, one Of the largest known
w birds sleeps, he sleeps with real concen-
tration. In fact, 1t is an easy matter, if one
can approach the rocks on which one Of the
birds is perched asleep, to capture them with
moose slipped around the neck.
At one time this bird native Of the Andes,
was the subject OF many fearsome legends con-
cerning its carrying off of babies and young
animals. 1t was reputed to attain wing
spread Of 80 or 40 feet size which has been
found to be greatly exaggerated.
A study of the animal reveals that its feet
are 50 shaped that 1t would be practically i'm
possible for it to seize anything Of any size
and carry it off in its claws. 1t does not have
the sharp curving talons of other birds OF
prey.
