One of the best liked and most prominent business men of Dover Foxcroft, Maine. ls J. Eric Love, son of our esteemed octogenarlan the retired railway engineer H. J. Love. Eric is mixed up ln all local activities and ls also the agent for Chevrolet cars, runs a large garage and filling station, etc.. ete. In a recent letter he thank- ed us for sending him our annual review of harness racing. a sport that. he was very interested in when here. and reminded us of accompanying the MaoKinnon- McTague combination. including The Yank, to Mount Clemens. Michigan, in 1904, where he had the pleasure of seeing The Yank set ulp a new world's trotting rec- ord on ice. Eric has dozens of friends among the horsemen of Maine and says there is a great similarity in love of horses be- tween our Islanders and Maine farmers. Nearly all the potato men there own race horses and love t-ho sport. He hopes to be here for Old Home Week next August.

. , ‘V. I _ . The New Year of 1947 has start- ed in with a spell of real wintry weather. The first 8 days have been a succession o! below zero temperatures followed by mod“. atlng weather with snow gnu-rim To date we have escaped the real blluards experienced by 39y. cral of the sister province; and the New England States. e a

However the initial snow. i811 W85 01‘ a crusty nature and l: this ls augmented by a foot, or more of fresh snow it will give the Huns cause to tighten their belts.

The covey's can. burrow into soft snow like ‘a

Sev. 9W1 years ago I picked up a Hun "1 FTbflllrl’ near the edge of an alder swamp that contain; l "mm!" °7 5°88)’. grassy springs that never freeze up although dufi"! Periods of heavy and pro- tracted snow storms they some. times drift over. This bird. a large Cock. was ln splendid con- ditlon and its crop was filled with nothing but long blades or green grass. One would imagine that n few gorglngs of a food of this nature would give the buds bowel trouble but an examination °l droppings vtilere the covey had bedded down in the snow for the night showed no signs of in- testlnal disorder. This particular Dilrlrldge was torn from the crop to the throat and it. was appar- ent the blrd had struck one of the telephone wires that follows the Murray Harbour railway line as the track runs along the edge of this particular swamp. O O I

The beauty of a diet of grass and weed seeds is that tln- birds do not. require so much grit. When they are forced to repair to grain stacks and manure piles for food they need twice or three times the amount of grit. About. five years ago a truck was forced to dump a load of coarse gravel by the side of the road near Scai

e E

lt was lat in the fall when the accident occurred to the truck and the load of gravel was left there all winter. which turn- ed out to be one of deep crusted snows. In most districts the Hun covey's took a severe beating during this inclement season due to the shortage of grit in the form of gravel emf-coarse sand.

A covey of 15 Hunsstartecl to visit this gravel pile and when it got iced up or crusted over Dingwell Jenkins. a farmer who lived nearby and 1s interested in blrd life, saw to 1t that the gra- vel was kept cleaned off and loosened up. The covey visited this pile at least three times, a week nod the amount of gravel they swallowed on each vlslt was surprising. Those particular birds fed all winter in some nearby grain barracks and needless to say were in tip top shape when spring came. ‘ .
