A NEW METHOD OF
CLIPPING BIRDS’ WINGS
It Is Effective in Preventing Flight, But Does Not Disfigure
Bird—By Alfred Priest.
Everyone has seen pet birds kept
captive in a garden, park or menag
erie, and many of us while watching
an interesting bird have ventured the
remark: "Why doesn't it fly away?
I suppose its wings must be cut?"
though it is quite obvious that this is
the case even when the wings are
closed. Sometimes a bird will stand
bolt upright, open its wings and com
mence to flap them a dozen times or
so, then, lowering itself to its normal
walking position, it will close them
and shuffle them into comfort among
the feathers of its breast and back,
concluding the whole performance by
a short but energetic wagging of the
tail. When the wings are thus ex

Away.
panded one notices at once the cut
ting of the flight feathers to prevent
the bird's escape, and will probably
have noticed also that during the flap
ping process just referred to the bird
turned round and round on its legs as
on a pivot. This turning round, of
course, is due to no desire on the part
of the gird to do so: it really is trying
to exert its flying muscles for some
reason, probably a cramped feeling re
sulting from disuse. It is owing to the
manner in which its wings have been
clipped. Almost invariably one wing
only is clipped, and in a hasty and
clumsy manner, too, which causes an
unequal-sided resistance to the air on
each beat of the wings, resulting in
the poor bird being spun round, willy
nilly, like a top. A fair notion of the
inconvenience which a bird thus
clipped suffers can be easily tested
by anyone in the following way; Stand
upright, feet together, extend both
arms to the full, then put the left
hand on the left shoulder, and in this
position try to flap like a bird, moving
the arms in a horizontal plane. In
this way one will quite appreciate how
awkward the poor bird must feel.
Then, still standing in the same posi
tion, repeat the movement with both
arms extended to the full, and the
comparative satisfaction and comfort
of the two styles will at once be
seen. After having tried this experi
ment I think it will be self-evident
that the main object of the bird—to
exercise its wing muscles— is almost
entirely defeated. Only one wing re
sists the air, and its efforts are ex
pended—or throwh away—in turning
the bird round, instead of counter
balancing the thrust of the other wing.
Thus the wings cannot properly exer
cise themselves; and this may be
Wings Closed; Clipping Not Discern
ible.
detrimental to the bird s health, as it
certainly is to its comfort. In one
or two instances I have observed the
flight feathers cut so closely to the
fleshy part of the wing that the bird
must have suffered great pain during
and after the operation—such pain,
probably, as we experience when we
cut our finger nails, to the quick. Now,
besides the inconvenience—cruelty. 1
consider it—thus caused, there is an
other thing very much against this
general clumsy method of clipping
the wings, viz., the unsightliness of
the bird, both when its wings are ex
tended and closed. When closed, the
uncut wing appears as nature in
tended. resting lightly upon the back
and tail feathers, while the other wing
shows none of its long feathers at all.
This gives an irritating lop-sided ap
pearance to the bird.
I would like now to make a sugges
tion which I believe to be entirely
new and which will practically do
away with this disfigurement and at
the same time reduce the air-resisting
surface of the wing to about the same
extent as does the usual method of
1 clipping. Moreover, it will allow the
bird to exercise its wings with sat
isfaction and comfort. The illustra
tions show the method of wing clip
ping 1 would suggest. The first de
picts a wing extended fully. The white
line (3—4) across it indicates approxi
mately the usual clipping line of the
feathers, which emails disfigurement
when the wing is closed. 1 have fre
quently observed, chiefiv in pigeons,
that dealers ana fanciers do not cut
away the first two feathers fl and 2»,
but, even so. in my opinion, the good
looks of the birds are ruined and their
comfort interfered with. The small
dotted lines in the first picture repre
sent the part of each feather which
has been cut away after the more
humane methcd, both wings being sim
ilarly cut. Observe the great diminu
tion of air-resisting area, caused by
the feathers being half cut away. The
second illustration shows the appear
ance of the wing clipped in this way
when both are closed. From this it
will be seen that there is practically
no external difference whatever, and
that- birds thus clipped would lose
none of their natural symmetry and
grace when the wings are at rest. Fre
quently my friends have asked me
why i do not cut the wings of my pet
birds, and I have replied that they are
cut, but not in the nsual manner.
Now. 1 think that all who possess a
tame bird will agree that this method
is at least worth a trial. It has every
thing in its favor, with one exception,
viz., that the operation takes about
ten minutes, as contrasted with ten
seconds for the common method.
1 dare say some will think the effect
produced is not worth the extra time
required to clip the wings, but in my
opinion no one who is a real lover of
birds will think so; he will rather be
willing to try any reasonable experi
nient which may add however little to
the health, happiness and good appear
ance of his pets. One thing more I
must add: I have often observed that
birds which flap their wings rapidly,
such as finches and small birds gen
erally. are not incapacitated by this
new method to the same extent as are
the slower-flapping birds of the size
of a crow or a pigeon. A sparrow can
barely lift itself from the ground,
aided very largely though it be by
starting with the jump with which all
birds "take off" before they bring
their wings into play. And. by the
way. this jump of a bii-d is far more
helpful than is generally supposed. 1
have seen a magpie repeatedly reach
a shelf nearly three feet from the
ground, though it had no feathers
whatever in its wings. A sparrow
with its wings cut as I suggest can
keep a horizontal course for a good
distance if it starts from a height; a
magpie describes an arc in its descent,
while a crow comes down almost ver
tically. And in every case where I
have made this experiment, 1 have
found that even a short flight has so
exhausted the bird that it was power
less to raise itself from the ground for
some time after, so that any attempt
to escape beyond a very short distance
is quite frustrated. This last fact—
that the new method of clipping the
wings is more effective in the case of
the larger birds, such as herons,
storks, swans, geese, etc., speaks still
further in favor of its adoption, since
it is only such birds that require to be
treated in this way; small birds are
invariably kept in cages, and therefore
never need be clipped at all. I may
l add that the most expeditious mode of
' procedure is for one person—with
gloves on if it be a powerful beaked
or clawed bird—to hold the bird down,
, with its breast on a cushion, with one
; hand, while the other is used to keep
I the wing which is to be operated on
! extended.

The Lamb in Winter.—The lamb
j. that comes in winter requires a good
! deal of attention for a few days, to
make sure that it is not chilled. Many
sheep sheds on American farms are
not adapted to the coming of lambs
out of season. If the sheds are close
and warm and the ewe owns her
lamb, the little one will usually get
on well after the first few days. A
shepherd says that if the ewe refused
to lap her lamb dry, the shepherd
should take a whisk of hay and do the
work the mother should have done.
An old piece of dry flannel Is best
for this purpose. He should be put
to the teat as soon as possible, and if
he does not take hold readily the
milk should be started for him.
Deformed Breast Bones.—Small and
smooth perches are a prolific cause of
deformed breast bones, for the fowls

scheme to obtain money by false pre
tenses from Dr. C. F. Spring of Des
Mcines by selling him white lead that
Sears-Roebuck claim to have made.
The indictment alleges it was made
by others. A second fount is on a

PRODUCTIVE POWER OF
WESTERN CODA SOIL
I \
Winnipeg Correspondence.
There has never been any who have
doubted the productiveness of the soil
of Western Canada, but there are
sometimes found those whft question
the fact of its superiority. During the
past season it has been shown that
in grain raising qualities' It possessed
the very best. The late spring pre
vented grain being sown in many
cases before the middle of May. Yet,
a large percentage of that sown at that
time produced excellent yields. Had it
not been for the frost early in August,
which visited most of the north half
of the continent, there would have
been a magnificent yield in every dis
trict in Western Canada. Throughout
the Southern Alberta district where
about 100,000 acres was sown to win
ter wheat the yield will be enormously
I large. There are vast tracts of valu
able grain growing land in Western
Canada that are available for home
steads, the Canadian Government giv
| ing 160 acres free, and entry may be .
* made by proxy, by any near relative,
thus saving considerable cost to the
American who may have entry made
in this way. Any Canadian Govern
ment Agent will give you the partic
