Chickens speak in a. language that human ears learn readily to compre- hend. For the most part it is instinc- tive. A fuzzy toddler six hours Out of the shell has five distinct calls. The first and loudest of them is the lost note, uttered when it loses sight of its mother or finds itself out in the cold. It is loud and yery shrill: “Pee- ee-Op! Pee-ee-ee-op! Pee-eee-op! ” The second, the hunger note, is as shrill, but more plaintive, running somewhat thus: “Yeap! Yeeapl Yee- eeap!” As soon as eating begins it changes to a sort of satisfied chitter— ing: “\Vit-wit! “Tit-wit! “lit-wit- weet!” After eating the chicks grow sleepy, and cry to be covered. The note is somewhat like that of hunger, with a peculiar tremolo, breaking it in the middle: “Yee-pl-lecpl! Yee-pl—lee- p1!” does not fully represent it, but comes as near as the limitations of vowels and consonants admit. The fifth note, the chir-r-r of fright or as- tonishment, is the quaintest of all. This chir-r develops‘at last in the grat- ing call of warning, at sound of which from their mother even the youngest scatter and scutter to cover. Any- thing, a bird, a kite, even a very small passing cloud, sailing in the sky over- head, will cvoke this warning cry. Let one hen sound it, every other will take it up. Often the alarm is a false one, but centuries of hawks have impressed upon each feathered mind that “danger cometh out of the air” and they govern themselves accordingly. Everybody knows how hens Cluck to their broods, but it may be news to many that though a hundred hens may be clucking in the same inclosure, the voice of'each will be individual and un- mistakalgle to her immediate family. A chick just Out of the nest may not be able to discriminate, but let it follow for a day and it is past making mis- Even more wonderful is the from all the rest. Upon finding food a hen calls her chicks somewhat thus: “Co-cu—co—cu- cu-cu-cel” The rooster calls his wives about him to share in somedainty with nearly the same notes, but deeper and more resonant in the beginning and running at the end into a. high treble. There is something clownish in his cackle. He cackles only to express a pained astonishment, or else by way of chorusing the hens, with whom cackling is a. favorite diversion, quite independent of the mattei of egg-lacy- ing. A rooster, especially a gamecock or one of Spanish breed, has a wonder- ful variety of crows. By means of them, indeed, he runs the whole gamut of expression—hope, fear, defiance, tri- umph, love, hate, rage, vanity and a fine, inefi‘able conceit. It is' the hens without families, though, that are the true barnyard gossips. Any fine day, outside molt— ing time, you may see them standing in groups, their heads close together, chuckling and chattering like so many blackbirds, or else \V‘allowing in light earth, pecking lightly as they scratch and wallow, and evidently finding it good sport to throw dust well over each other—N.

'It Is Best to ICeep Them in Repair by Contract, Says a Govern- ment Expert. E. G. Harrison, government road ex- pert, has'been giving the farmers and others interested in the building and maintaining of dirt-roads some valu- able advice. Inasmuch as dirt—roads ,must continue to predominate in many parts of the country, for years to come, his remarks are worthy of careful con- sideration. He says: “Except when the frost is coming out of the ground in the spring. it will be quite possible to build ordinary dirt- roads so that they will be very satisfac- tory, and so that they can be kept in good condition throughout the year ex- cept during a. few weeks of spring thaw. The best way, after the road is properly built, is to hire somebody in the vicin— ity, some laboring man, for instance, to keep in repair permanently a particular stretch of road. He can start out then just after every rain when he wouldn’t be working in his fields, and with a single shovel he can make all necessary repairs to the road. If water is collect- ing in any spot, he can open up a little ditch and let the water drain off prop- erly, although if the road was properly built this would rarely occur. He~can toss stones to one side that the rain has washed down. And, especially, he can look to see that no holes are forming. A little hollow starts in a road. The next wagon scoops out a trifle more dirt, an- otherw agon another trifle. Soon there s a. big hole. It rains. Water collects in the hole and forms mud, and then the mud clings to the wagon wheels and the hole grows faster than ever. But if, in the beginning, the road repairer had filled 1n the small hollow with his shovel and some dirt, and stamped the earth dOWn a bit, then the wagons would have packed the dirt like a. roller and the hole would never have got a chance to grOw. “It‘s best to have roads kept in repair by contract, for then it’s to the interest of the contractor to exercise constant care.” Bogus Sausages.
