do Hons PICK up polsone

It must be a careless poultry man
or farmer who leaves deadly poison
lying around where the fowls can get
sat it, but it seems there are some
persons that do so. One of the
sources Of loss in poultry when they
are allowed free range over the. farm
is death from poisoning. We DO not
mean the slow poisoning that results
from drinking impure puddles around
the vaults and manure heaps, and the
picking Of material that is rotten or
5decaying, and thus has become un-
wholesome. There Is danger in this,
but we refer to the swallowing of that
which is known to be an active poison
and yet is carelessly left where the
fowl can get at II

The Barefoot Fad.

| The latest sensation in Dublin is the
adoption by a number of society peo-
bic of the barefoot" fad for their chill
iren. Considerable attention Is
aroused now and then in the streets
about the fashionable squares by the
appearance of smartly clad children,
walking barelegged and barefooted, all
but a slight sandal. The idea is that
the children are made harder and less
likely to take cold by this exposure.
