FIRE Tattersalls corporation barn and arena in which the sales have been held at Lexington for years was destroyed by fire last Sat- urday. only a month before the Novermber horse sales. The build- ing was completed in 1914 and has necently been remodeled in preparation for the sales. Hun- dreds of the best trotters and pac- ers, also show horses, have been auctioned at that barn over the past forty years. The building was owned by the Lexington Trots Breeders Association headed by Frederick Van Lennep of Castle- ton Farm. The 18th annual auction known at the Harrisburg Sale will be held at Harrisburg, Pa. November 11 to 16. Quite a number of Mari- timers are planning to attend this sale and will probably return with a trotter or pacer to make things livelier for 1957.

Before the eel grass failure in 1933-34 brant were very loath to fly over land. If a hummoclt bird. outside the rig of decoy: a flock would swing around the hurnmock. When the eel grass went and they either had to change their feeding habits or go out' they a- dapted themselves to changed con ditions. I have watched flocks of several hundred brant aiiilht in clover fields in the spring and feed there like a flock of domesticated birds. THE RAVEN The Ravens are I classic ex- ample. In 1926 a book- ”bli'ds of Western Canada.” written b)' the late Dr. PA. Taverner. one of Canada's foremost ornitholo- gists at the time, was published. In his book Dr. Taverner wrote the following commentary on the Haven: "The Raven is traditional- ly a bird of ill-omen. Sombre of colour. dismal in voice. solitary and wild of habit it fills in the far the south. The Raven holds aloof from the haunts of men. As civil- ization had advanced into the pri- meval vastnessea the Raven. un- like its close relative the crow. has retired and la still today what it was in the beginning. a bird of the wildernes. "Knowing only the physical rc- quiremcnts and food habits of the two species, one would naturally think that the raven could survive as well under civilization as the crow. It is omnivorous and can adjust itself to almost any food gupply. It in hardy and can live in climates and under severer con- ditions than its conilener. Yet 101' A Scavenger ner conducted his studies of the Raven his foregoing comment: on its habits and scarcity in numbe B was perfectly accurate. I well re- member over 60 years ago, when just a mere lad. hearing father lament on missing a shot at a raven on the Klondyke Road and his remark: ”I may never have a chance at a raven again". He never did see one again. Inciden- tally the spot viiiere he fired at the raven. and missed, is approxi- mately a mile and a half from the old homestead. The area is still under woodland and the ravens are back at the old stand. POETIC JUSTICE I saw my first Ravens in the spring of 1937 when I was farm- ing at Mount Albion. A pair built a nest in I clump of ancient hem- locks at the east end of Moss Lake and made periodic early morning raids on the bronzed grackle nest: in the spruce hedge west of the orchard. These sama grack- les continually raided the robin nests around the farm premise: and I felt the ravens depredations in their ranks as a case of 'Po- etic justice' and for this reason al- lowed the raiders a free hand. Be- tween the ravens and the B5. A. 22 cal. rifle the gracklea found it was too hot for comfort and mov- ed out. At the time I knew of only two other raven nests - one in the high ledge cliff at Halliday's Wharf and the other at East Point-also built in a high bank. The follow- ing year a raven nest was located at Dl.ll'Pii Point not far from Howe Bay. Today ravens are almost as plentiful as crows in wine districts. Nine years ago a farmer at Mount Albion killed a number of horses to be canned as dog food and haul- ed the offal to his back woodlet. On a January evening at sunset I counted 54 ravens circling and cutting didoes over the old Hoop- er swamp. It was quite a sight. The air was frost laden and clear a: crystal and the birds resembled. miniature black fighter planes.
