Bird Corner
Conducted by the Henderson
Bird Club

Henderson Bird club members may
have stumbled upon some interest
in data:
On January IA, three members of
the club, Miss Claudia Hunter, Miss
Garnett Myers, and Mrs. A. J. Davis
set out on a field trip. After a most
interesting and profitable trip across
fields and meadows, over bitches and
through wire fences we came to some
pine woods. The tops of the trees
seemed to he filled with very tiny
bird voices. We looked for some
time before we discovered that the
faint twitterings came from a flock
of Golden Crowned Kinglets, little
greenish birds with a center crown
spot of bright orange banded by yell
low, and enclosed 10y a black line.
They were working industriously
away in search of insects or larvae
in the tree limbs, sometimes hanging
upside down in their attempts to
reach the under side of twigs and
branches. Such busy little fellows,
never still. All but one. He sat
apart from the others on low limb
just above our heads and within a
lew IeeC Ol US, WHICH gave us
splendid opportunity for closeup.
He was behaving in such a strange
way that we stood and watched him
for some time. He would pick for a
while at the limb on which he sat
then would turn his head and work
his bill in and out among the feath-
ers of his lower back and under
sides. This was repeated again and
again. Finally Miss Myers remarked
ut looks like he is picking bugs out
of his feathers and putting them on
the tree limb, do believe he is"
Laughing at this whimsical fancy
we went on and left Mr. Kinglet still
sitting there picking first at the tree
branch and then in his feathers.
Several days later what was our
surprise and delight to read in The
Chat, the official bulletin of the
North Carolina Bird Club, the follow
ing article 10y the noted ornitho.ogist
Mr.. T. Gilbert Pearson, which is
given in full:

pressed that he insisted the boy and
his mother come to his office, where
he presented a copy of Tennyson's
poems to Rachlin. He did not believe
the boy could do more than spell
through them, but Ezra read them
aloud fluently.
Not long after this it was discovered
that Ezra possessed absolute pitch
that mysterious sense which enables
one at all times to know the exact
position of tone on scale.
Once Ezra and his mother were
walking along the street when a fac
tory whistle blew. The boy stated in
a matter of fact way that it's note
was c sharp. His mother at first be-
lieved that he was only guessing but
upon returning home she tested him
at the piano. 1t was then that the
remarkable child showed his ability
to decipher complicated chords, thus
demonstrating at three years old that
his sense of absolute pitch was real.
When Ezra Rachlin went to Berlin
to study under the great teacher, pro-
fessor Mayer Mahr, he mastered the
German language in a very short
While and used what time. he .haC

for his recitals and appearances with
orchestra, will play here TOMORROW

STARLINGS PUTTING ANTS IN
THEIR PLUMAGE
T. Gilbert Pearson, New Yor

L. GlIDert pearson, New York
'"The AUX for January, 1888 con-
tains a short article by McAtee, en-
titled "'Anting by Birds, which
probably gives an explanation of
something I witnessed last summer.
Just back of my house is an apple
tree, the top of which is about on a
level with my bedroom window, and
about eighteen feet away. Every
morning as I dress I look out there
for birds, and usually 1 see Starlings
and English Sparrows. During mig
rotions 1 see other birds.
One morning in August 1887 I no
ticed that there were two Starlings
behaving in, what was to me, a very
peculiar manner. Both were busily
engaged apparently in picking in
sects from the underside of the apple
leaves, but after every capture the
bird would turn and thrust its bill
among the feathers of it's flank or
lower back. They were working in
such an animated manner as to sug-
gest a fair amount Of excitement on
their part. I watched for ten minu-
ties, when they flew away. The next
morning two starlings, at the same
place, and about the same time, were
going through similar maneuvers.
Then 1 had to leave for Mexico, and
after returning I was never able to
see the performance repeated.
In addition to putting ants in their
plumage, McAtee mentions accounts
of people observing other forms of
small life handled in the same way.
He quotes my friend, DR.. Stresemann
of Germany, who has gathered little
data on the same subject; and re-
Gently I read with a great interest of
something of the same kind reported
by Alex H. Chisholm in his charm
ing book, "Bird Wonders of Austria
lia." Evidently here is something
new in the science of ornithology,
and concerning which extremely lit
tie is known.
The readers of The Chat are asked
to be on the lookout for similar oc-
curence. If you note anything that
appears to be similar, please send me
as full an account as possible to
Room 841, TITS Broadway, New York,
N. Y, or send it to The Chat"
None of us have ever heard of
anything like this before and so far
as we know, nothing of the kind has
been reported since Mr.. Parsons
request.

Crowned Kinglets with "ants in their
pants" may go down in history as a

Seed Loan
Applications
Being Made

. Applications for. emergency crop
and feed loans for 1889 are now being
received at the county agents office
in Henderson, by 0. H. Easton, field
supervisor of the emergency crop and
feed loan section of the Farm Credit
Administration.
The loans will be made, as in the
past, only to farmers whose cash re-
quirements are small and who cannot
obtain credit from any other source
it is stated. The money loaned will be
limited to the farmers immediate
and actual cash needs for growing his
1899 crops or for the purchase of feed
for livestock.
Farmers who can obtain the funds
they need from an individual, produc-
ton credit association, bank, or other
concern are not eligible for crop and
feed loans from the emergency crop
and feed loan section of the Farm
Credit Administration. The loans will
not be made to standard rehabilitation
clients whose current needs are pro-
vided for by the Farm Security Adj
ministration, formerly known as the
Resettlement Administration.
AS in the past, farmers who obtain
emergency crop and feed loans will!
give as security a first lien on the
crop financed, or a first lien on the
livestock to be fed if the money bor-
rowed is to be used to produce or pur-
chase feed for livestock, the state
ment said.
Where loans are made to tenants.
the landlords, or others having an
interest in the crops financed or the
livestock to be fed, are required to
waive their claims in favor of lien
to the government of the Farm Credit
Administration until the loan is re-
paid.
Checks in payment of approved
loans will be mailed from the re-
gional emergency crop and feed loan
office at Columbia, South Carolina.
