Poultry Notes.

There are constantly going the
rounds of the papers most astonishing
estimates as to the volume of the
poultry industry in this country. We
hear speakers at farmers institutes
glibly reel off the statistics as to our
poultry products, and an unsophisti-
Gated listener would suppose the sta
tistics to be worth something. But
they are not. Poultry estimates are
the widest kind of guesses taking the
country as a whole. In some of our
large produce centers it is not difficult
to approximate the number of birds
and eggs received and sold; but those
reports are of little consequence COM
pared to the $4,000 small markets Of
which there are no reports. The num-
Der of birds and eggs that are used on
the farms cannot be known, for no
record Is kept of them. When we con-
slider that there are over 100000
farms we see how inestimable must
be the poultry produce disposed OF on
those farms. But to illustrate the way
in which statistics are made: One
writer says: When we compare the
most careful statistics that can be
compiled, we are astonished at the
magnitude Of the figures. for we find
that the combined product of eggs and
poultry as an article of food. from a
commercial standpoint, alone, amounts
to the enormous sum of $500, 900, 900.
Now, when we add to this the number
of live fowls in this country, about
l5O,0OO,OOO, at an average value Of
81 each, which is a fair valuation of
the whole; that is, placing all of the
standard varieties of fancy-bred poul-
try with the common grade laying
stock Of the whole country; thus. the
live fowls plus the commercial poultry
and eggs, amounts to 100000, 900. 4"
We can but regard such figures as
most extravagant. Instead of 81 per
fowl the estimate should be rs cents
per fowl; for the proportion of high
priced fowls in the country, compared
to the whole number is Insignificant
The estimate of 150,000,000 live fowls
is entirely guesswork. We have at
the present time no poultry statistics
that are worth anything.
We sometimes hear about a hen lay
ing two eggs in day, and 1t seems
quite an incredible story. But 1t may
easily happen and doubtless does. But
1t does not indicate any great laying
power, but rather a arrangement Of
the laying organs. We have seen
hen egg-bound and on examination
found the production of the egg so
delayed that another full-sized one
was pushing up behind it. The two
eggs would naturally be dropped with
in few hours of each other.
Without doubt hens are helped by
exercise, such as scratching in cut
straw for their grain, yet we feel that
the idea is overdone. The value of
this exercise must depend to a very
great extent on the food that is fed.
Where a fowl is fed corn. and corn
only she needs the exercise to help her
to digest more of the corn so as to get
from it enough protein to serve her
purposes, without at the same time be-
coming too fat. The exercise causes
rapidity of breathing and that means
the burning up of more fat through
the agency of the lungs. But the first
outlook should be to feed fowl a
ration so constituted that no necessity
will exist for burning up part OF the
feed through the lungs.

The Boer as a f. IN Iv Man

AS family man, the Beers reputa-
tion would justify him in becoming .

and uncouth in his ways, shy and re-

him to a gruff cordiality, if you are
husband and father, and care to

But although the Boer certainly cher
ishes with deep affection his wife and
children, says Ladysmith correspon-
dent of the London Standard he treats
them according to oriental, rather than
European ideas. The women always
stand until the men are seated, and
are not served until the wants of their

the Dutch wife, she is not an example

has nothing to spare for unlimited

X-ray trick; namely, the sheet of pa
per and the objective tube.
Before the experiment, the sheet of
paper is treated as follows: 1t is pinned
over any anatomical drawing showing
the position Of the principal thoracic
and abdominal organs. If the sheet Of
paper is not too thick, the drawing can
be seen through it. The space occupied
by the lungs is then painted with a
diluted solution of sulfocyanide Of po-
tassium. A more concentrated solution
Of the same salt is used to fill the space
outlined by the heart and principal ar
teries. A few big veins are painted
with a solution of ferrocyanide of po-
tassium. A more diluted solution of
the same salt is used for the stomach
and few intestinal folds. The rest
of the body is uniformly painted with
concentrated solution of tannin. The
whole operation need not take more
than five minutes. When the paper is
dry, the drawing is absolutely invisible,
for all the above named solutions are
colorless. The sheet Of paper is now
ready for use in the apparatus.
The objective tube does not contain
any lens, but merely small atomizer

For more than 5000 years men have
been trying to discover "the elixir of
life" The earliest searcher. so far as
authoritative history shows. was
Hermes Trismagestrus, born 1900 b. G.
Coming down TO the Christian era,
there was Zosemus, who lived 400 A. ID.
to 450; Ghebe Rhazes, $50 to $50; Oyic-
emo, $50 to 1887; Artephino, 1919 to
1130; Roger Bacon, 1914 to 1904; Albert
Magnus, 1910 to 1884; Ponce de Leon,
AGO to 1921; Paracelsus, 1743 to 1885,
Cagliostro, 1S43 to 1904; Brown-Se-
guard, 1918 to 1894. They and others,
like the rest OF their generations, are all
dead. 1t is noticeable that most of them
died early, not living three score years
and ten. 1t Is needless to say that they
failed to discover the elixir" Perhaps
1t Is well that some of them did not
considering what they were. The latest
candidate for disappointment Is Prof
Metchnikoff, a distinguished scientist
in the Pasteur institute, Paris, who
claims to have discovered series of
lymphs that will arrest decay and re-
Juvenate the human body. He discards
the accepted theory of senile atrophy,
and holds that certain cells which
have been believed to be destroyed by
age are simply dormant. Not only can
they be revived, but multiplied" with
his wonderful lymphs. In certain
measure corroboraton OF this claim are
the experiments of physician who an
nounces that he can successfully treat
paralysis and cites cases. But both are
now only experimenting, and the proba-
bility is that, like some predecessors,
they will make their discoveries just In
time to die.
