In<lb />calm weather the fowls always<lb />roost on their poles their heads<lb />alternating each way ; that is, one<lb />faces east, the next west, and so<lb />on. But when there is going to<lb />be a high wind they always roost<lb />with their heads toward the direc.<lb />tion from which it is coming.<lb />There are reasons for these diff"<lb />erent ways of roosting, I take it.<lb />When there is no wind to gusrd<lb />against they can see other danger<lb />more readily if they are headed<lb />in both directions, bat when wind<lb />is to rise they face oit because<lb />they can hold their positions bet<lb />ter.
