Needed To Keep Egg from Freezing H would seem that January i and February are the very worst possible times for a t bird couple to begin raising a family, especially when the pair is inhabiting a region J where the mercury often plunges to many degrees be- j low zero, and may remain there for several days and ! nights. Under such adverse condi tions an egg in a nest would ! become a solid chunk of ice in but a few hours without the i constant warmth of the par ent bird. But January is the I month usually selected by molt owl species to begin their nesting operations. It would i seem an impossible time. Snows may come, covering the forest trees as well as the mother owl. Sitting on an ex posed platform of sticks, high in some pines tree, she may become a mound of snow. But this, too, is accepted as part of owl life. Also accepted as a startling truth is the length of time the baby owls will remain in the nest of sticks. They will stay as long as several weeks, dur ing which time an almost lim itless number of small mam mals are brought in to be greedily eaten by the growing ' youngsters. By time the young owls are ready to leave the nest, j they are snuggled in amid a j gruesome assortment of skulls and bones of rats, rabbits, mice and other small animals I which the parent owl have brought home to feed their I young. All during the short, winter days the mother owl crouches on the eggs or young, waiting patiently for the night. It is then the mice, rabbits and olh-1 er rodents are abroad. With ; silent wings the owl floats i like a shadow through the Winter woods. Regardless of ; how difficult the finding of I game, Mrs. Owl is always con- i scious of her family obuga- tions-always alert to any dan ger that might threaten her babies. Always she is ready to de fend them from any prowling raccoon, wildcat or other pre dator. Hissine and clacking her beak, she will learlessly attack any molester attempt ing to invade her privacy, Angered, she becomes a dan gerous adversary. The prowling raccoon, about as intelligent as any of the forest dwellers, approach es a nesting owl with extreme caution. He is not so stupid as to climb that particular tree when Mrs. Owl is anywhere within attacking distance. She1 will fight to the death to pro tect her family. To the casual observer, owl 1 life is a strange existence. Being nocturnal these birds have always been reason for peculiar superstitions and myths. Their mournful cry i during the darkness of night has caused shivers of appre hension to run up and down the, spines of the uninformed humane who. hearing the cry ' somewhere out there in the black forest, have created all sort of silly fears and beliefs. In some human habitations where live simple people, a broom is placed before the front door in a crosswise po-1 sition when the darkness comes and the family is about to retire for the night. This is to "keep the owl from hoot ing." They were more afraid i of the hooting than they were Ol the creature uttering it. It is said "the owl hoots at j midnight," but the poor owl would be justified in hooting anytime. Sitting on a nest of i sticks in zero weather would even cause the hootlcss to hoot. CHEF GEORGE'S Food For Thought Brave Bull We'll bet you have never nV en lime to look up Noah Web ster's definition of the word, "Epicure," end since you will from time to time find it used in our little column, here is how Noah defines it: "A per son who has a refined taste in eating and drinking and who cares much about food and drink." The "Old Boy" goes a little further and advises us that the word derived from the proper name "Epicurus," a Greek philosopher who taught that pleasure is the highest good and virtue alone produces pleflSMre." The City Council met at the Brave Bull twice this week keep ing the carpenters busy chanf ing the site of the room to ac commodate their party. wtir I RlsBflPLl (Jl ,v.
