The cause of hens eating their eggs
is generally the want of animal food,
Which is indispensable to their health.
Where but few towels are kept, or
they have a- wide range, the scraps
from the table and the insects they
will gather for themselves, will sup
ply their needs in this respect. A good
substitute for the natural supply may
be found in any cheap form of animal
flesh mot fat). as beef liver, which
should be chopped very fine and mix
ed with the ordinary food two or three
times week. See also, that the fow-.
els have plenty of vegetable food, and
a constant supply of clean water.

This matter Of speed ia tested In a very
interesting way.
A long wooden shed is used In which
q distance Of exactly 100 feet has been
carefully marked off, At each end Of
this space Is stand something like q

where the bullseye should be. Across
each opening is stretched q small electric
wire connected with a delicate instru-

which the firing is done is so aimed that
the bullet which flies from it cuts both
wires. Obviously the difference in time
between the cutting Of the two wires
marks the speed Of the bullet through
that 100 feet The measurement Of this
inhnitesimal space Of time Is done by an
instrument called a Boulinge chrome
