Whenever I've heard a cer tain stratum ot society spoken of In a disdainful manner, right away I'm as curious as a rabbit about them and their mode of life. Why are they considered, I'll ponder, lower than their fellows? What is there about, them which puts them th dis repute? How are they different and why are they different from others of their species? Natural, then, that I have much the same attitude toward birds I find people are snooty toward. Which was why I first became interested in the Ameri can Coot Mudhen to you. At first I thought this chunky, smdke-blue bird was looked down upon because there are so many of him, for he is omni present about our marshes, bays and reedy shores. Then I heard duck hunters scoffing at those who wasted their ammunition on so worth less a member of the duck fam ily. Even if. they had to go home with an empty bag, no real duck hunter would stoop to mudhens as a substitute. So I got interested In mud hens and I've found them indi vidual birds and interesting ones. They have no morals at all, are frequently polygamous and mudhen ladles, in their ro mancing, are a shallow-pated lot But just the same, they have what we call In humans, a lot of personality. They are great visitors among themselves and seem to carry on a lively and continuous con versation when they feel they are safe to do so. This conver sation will be in soft grunts and plg-llke squeals. When mating time arrives. the mudhen girl has plenty of suitors. She plays no favorites but stands on the sidelines and lets the boys fight it out. Then when the winner thinks he's all set to claim her, he may find she's run off with a third party which has won her heart while the combat raged for her affec tions. Truly a shamebs huzzyl But once she's made her ' -ISP Olive Barber's Observations Does Your Gar Sound Different Lately?

This nest Is built on a partly submerged clump of swamp material and often the lady will reject the bits her mate brings for her ap proval. Tips of growing reeds are bent over and brought down to the nest rim and anchored, these helping to keep the nest afloat. All this time the birds, especially the male, will cough and grunt and chuckle in great satisfaction. After the nest Is completed, the hen lays 8 to 10 creamy, brown spotted eggs. The young mudhens have almost orange colored skin and red bills and as they grow and gradually get the courage to peek over the nest rim, their dark fuzzy coats and still red bills make them resem ble a batch of mischevious picca ninnies. The next time you see some mudhens, take a second look they re worth it.

' Effective Feb. 26, It will re duce the government subsidy paid to non-federally Inspected hog slaughterers. The action is expected to channel more of the limited 'pork supply through the large packing plants, which are under federal inspection. The government has better control over the meat processed In IhMR larffer nlants. WFA reported that federally inspected hog slaughter has dropped 46 per cent below last vear. Total hog marketings are down only about one-third. This indicates, WFA said, that small er nlants. not subject to federal Inspection, have increased their slaughter despite the decline In total marketings. After Feb. 25. non-federally Inspected slaughterers may col lect a subsidy on only 50 per cent of the number of hogs for which they collected payments last year.
