This weather is very hard indeed on the feathered tribe. However if the birds and chickens get along as an old hen did of which we recently heard, there need be no anxiety about them. A lady several days before she left home on a visit to her daughter happened to turn a kettle over an old hen. After staying out a visit of two weeks she returned home and several days after happened to overturn the kettle, when the old hen stepped out, some worse for her fast. The lady made a reckoning and found that the hen was under the kettle just 21 days. If our quail possess in some degree the staying qualities of the old hen, we may expect at least a few of them to be alive for next season.
