THE CHRONICLE 17 from the time she is laying until she is sold to the market. In former years poultry raisers had only certain breeds of hens in these cages with special feed and light, but this has been changed considerably. Now there is the regular feed and light for the hens, and it also has been discovered that many varieties of breeds may be raised in this manner. The first batteries that had hand-cleaning devices are rapidly being changed for the electrical ones, which require much less work. It is much easier to raise poultry this way, and it has been estimated that one man is well able to care for three thousand chickens in two or three hours by using this method. This new idea is rapidly developing, and in a short while I believe it will completely replace the old method of poultry raising. Joseph Bethkr, ’37

16 THE CHRONICLE Ski Trails When the north winds blow and the snow creeps across the frozen fields, it is hard for a lover of the outdoors and nature to enjoy his excursions to the woods and fields because of the difficulty in walking though the snow. Some six thousand years ago the Norsemen in the Great Altai Mountains realized this same fact and developed two long pointed sticks of resinous pine to fit on the feet. This, they discovered, not only gave resistance to the snow but enabled them to attain considerable speed on slopes. Thus was made the first ski. and the Norwegians did all their traveling on these slender strips of pine. Skiing gradually became known throughout the world, especially in the mountainous snowy regions. In 1873 in the Swiss Alps the first ski jumping contest was held between the boys of Christiania and Telemarken. Skiing finally reached the I nited States when it was discovered that we had the best wood in the world for their construction and that Norway, Austria, and Sweden were importing our native ash, hickory, maple, and pine to build skis, which were sold for a high price in our country. Thus Ajinerica became ski-minded. In 1935 the first snow train traveled between Boston and Maine to give city skiers a chance to enjoy real virgin skiing. This became so popular that now there are snow trains every week from January until March. Skiing is so young in our country that a person who has skied a year is called a veteran. As for the sport itself, it is hard to find any better. The limit for speed is your own nerve and gravity. Speeds of forty-five miles per hour are not uncommon, while in Austria records have been made of one hundred miles per hour. (This is down hill skiing, not jumping.) The nature lover and the sportsman are satisfied, for they can go exploring, hiking, hunting, ice-fishing, trapping, and tracking on skis. Some say that snowshoes are more practical. They may he in the deep Northern swamps, hut in New England with its rolling hills and deep valleys. I'll take skis and go swishing, slashing down a snow-choked trail till clouds of fine.snow spray my face and the wind causes tears to dim my eyes and take my breath. Daniel D’Agostino, 37 Improvement in Modern Poultry liaising In recent years there have been many improvements in poultry raising, but I wish to speak mainly of the introduction of batteries. Formerly poultry raising was conducted on free range, where the chicken was able to go anywhere it pleased within the run. Now, however, it is rapidly changing, so that the chicken run is no longer needed. Batteries are becoming more and more useful to the poultry raiser, for they do away not only with the wire run but take up much less space, therefore making poultry raising a far more profitable industry than ever before. These batteries to which I have been referring are simple cages constructed of wire, in which the hen lives
