Mait Movement of Buffalo Among the more-prodigious and headstrong animal migrations is that of the western buffalo--an epic recorded by buffalo hunters and others jWho followed its last wild trek. Seton Snapped the migrations of what he called the Saskatchewan and the Red river herds. The territory involved Is northern Montana, North Dakota, with a small area running across the Canadian border. Early in the Nineteenth century the Red river buffalo herd went north by the Souria and the Qu'apelle valleys, and came south along the ljjed .fiver. But on account of the growing Selkirk settlement, they abandoned the Red river and In 1820 went south by the Pemblna hTlIi route. This movement of buffalo, it la deduced from the journal of old-timer In the Red river valley, represented a migration- of 40,000,000, before ranchers moved Into the Northwest * Congratulatory messages are being received by Pure Milk Association officials for securing hay Jequested for 1,500 of its members at a paving of $18,216.00. Foreseeing that a shortage of hay was soon to become apparent, the As.sociation, two months ago, arranged for a. Government loan of $200,000.00, to act as a revolving fund with which to buy hay. The initial shipment of 600 carloads (4554 tons) was purchased direct from Kansas and JsTebraska ffirmer^. Tliiis prompt action not only saved the farmers considerable money, but also prevented the rapid price increase, in hay which was sure to follow the shortage.

Disgraceful Birda There are exceptions In tSe birds' world, oneitoelng the graceful hoopoe, for this bird keeps its nest In a disgraceful condition. Birds that build no nests,. and live In vast colonies, such as the guillemot, have the most appalling stench surrounding their young. This also applies to the gannet and cormorant, both of which build nests, but this does not seem to inconvenience them, for the sense of smell In these birds Is poorly developed, and the gannet has no nostrils. Most nests are kept clean, especially those belonging to hedge-building birds. The homes of thrushes, tits, finches, and others are almost as clean after the youngJiave been reared as when they .were first built. milHons of Worlds Fair visitors saw tires made in the Firest6ne Factory and Exhibition Building, we asked thousands this question: "What do you value most in a tire?"
