TO CURE EGG-EATING,
Positive Reformation Has Followed
the Method Here Outlined by an
Eastern Farmer

Almost every one has had trouble
with hens eating eggs. Any one who
has learned much from it will be glad
to learn any way to prevent OF cure
1t. A poultryman of experience says:
There is nothing more provoking
and more Improbable than a flock
of hens which have acquired the hab-
it of eating their eggs. This is a
habit more easily prevented than
cured. Give the hens plenty of exer-
else with variety of food. Gather
the eggs frequently. provide suffi-
Gent resting places and keep one or
more porcelain eggs upon the floor
of the house. Dark nests are advis-
able, and meat diet is excellent.
To cure the habit provide dark
nests and add meat to the food. Re-
move the end from several eggs and
pour out the contents. Make a mix
ture of -four, ground mustard and
red pepper, adding a little water to
hold the material together. Fill the
shells and place upon the floor of the
henhouse. The hens will make a
wild scramble for these prepared
eggs, will gobble down some of their
contents, and will soon be gasping
with open beaks. Follow I'D this
treatment until the hens refuse to
touch an egg. It seems and perhaps
Is somewhat severe. but no perma-
nent Ill effects will follow. The hens
will soon learn that eggs are not so
palatable as they regarded them, and
will desist from the bad habit, Posi-
tive cures have followed this method.

STRANGE FISH, THESE.
The Great Green. 'Parrot-FIsh" and the
nPInk- Hind"

The clear, Iimpid waters that sur.
round Bermuda and the West Indies,
writes Professor G. L. Bristol, in st.
Nicholas, lie above coral reefs covered
with plants and animals, as rainbow.
They look like glimpses of fairyland.
and as your eye wanders from one won
der to another you catch yourself striv-
ing to peek just around some corner in
to strange nook, half hoping to see a
bevy of mermen and mermaids sport
ing and playing with the crannies.
There is patch of pale-green sea let
tuce; there a group of great purple sea
fans; yonder some golden corals stand
ing out like shelf or branching like
a tree; while among them all swim
lovely fishes that take the place of the
fairies that should dwell ir this magic
pond, and fascinate you by their gorge
GUS colors and their graceful, wavy
motions.
There is q great green "parrot fish,
as brilliant In color as his namesake
the bird, showing himself boldly, and
swimming along slowly, secure from
any assault. His scales are green as
the fresh grass Of springtime, and each
one is bordered by pale-brown line.
His fins are pink, and the end of the
tail is banded with nearly every color
OF the rainbow. He is snowy. but this
shoWiness serves him good purpose.
His flesh is bitter and poisonous to
man, and probably so to other fishes as
well, and they let him we'll alone. for
they can recognize him afar of, thanks
to his gaudy dress.
Underneath the parrot. lying on the
bottom, is ''pink hind" You notice
him, and as the parrot passes over
him be suddenly changes to bright |
scarlet, and as quickly resumes his
former faint color. Had the parrot
been looking for bis dinner, and thought
,he hind would make good first course,
his sudden change Of color might have
scared him off, just as the sudden
)ristling Of cat makes a dog change
lis mind. When the hind is disturbed
It night he gives out flashes of light
% startle the intruder. and send him
way in fright.

Poor Sort of Economy


1t is poor economy that leads to
the purchase of musty and even
moldy. feed for the fowls. When grain
Is spoiled too much for any other use
it is the practice to try to save # bv
feeding it to the poultry. It is
charged by fanciers that musty grain
Is fruitful source of sickness. We
cannot prove that point, but we are
ready to accept it on its face. It is
now well established that some of
the smuts and molds are poisonous
IN their character. Especially is this
the case with oat smut. Other smuts
have been little examined with this
point In view. Until they are proved
to be innocuous let us feed our fowls
only healthful grain.-Farmers' Re-
view.

GOOD POULTRY FENCE.

every few inches to hold the bottom
of the wire tightly to the ground. If
the netting Is used as division fences
between yards, and there are male
birds in the different yards, it will be
necessary to have number of boards
at the bottom to keep them from
fighting each other.
All this can be very easily obviated,
however, by building lath fence, such
as is represented In the accompanying
and as it is not at all
difficult of construction and will give a
good appearance to any poultry
house, especially when division fence
Is desired between two yards to keep
oockerels from fighting.-Fred o. Sib-

How to Prevent Rur.u

The man who wants to be sure of hav.
ing safe driving horse will do all in
his power to prevent that horse from
ever getting beyond control. If the
horse gets to run away once, he is IL
able to be an unsafe animal ever after
ward. 1t is tribute to the good dispo-
s1tfon and good sense of horses that
more OF them are not ruined by care
lessness. Unsafe harness, neglect to
1asten properly, careless or reckless
driving, constant nagging until the
horse is nervous and the infliction of
pain In biting OF refining are common
with young horses being broken to
drive. It Is wonder that there are
not more run-aways than now re-
corded

The Hog ON American so,,

In an account Of the introduction of
swine Into America 1t is stated that
they were brought by Columbus to
Hispanola in 1893, and to Florida in
1888 by De Soto; they were brought
to Nova Scotia and Newfoundlan
in 1883 by the French, and into Canada
in 1908. In 1909 they were brought into
Virginia by English adventurers, and
10 years afterwards it is recorded that
their numbers had SO increased that
the settlement AZ Jamestown had to be
surrounded with palisades to keep them
away.

Wire netting is very commonly en-
ployed by poultry keepers to fence

TOO MUCH FOR FIRE HORSE
Familiar Sounds send Him Jumping
to the Injury of His
Driver.

Sam Stamp Is laid up at the Presbyterian
hospital with his left leg and side badly
bruised and one Of the bones below the
knee broken, as a result OF a runaway
which occurred at ~ o'clock at Twenty
fifth and Cunning streets. Stamp is q
driver for the Armour Packing company
The drawing power OF his wagon was
formerly attached to the FIRE department
and his ears are still attuned to catch the
slightest tinkle OF a IRE gong or the roar
Of an engine.
As Stamp was going west on Cunning
street, IN automobile came up behind him
to the right and a traction engine going In
the same direction came up on the left
That was too much for the fire horse. II
had always been his duty to keep ahead Of
the engine and he did 1t this time, but IN
doing 80 the wagon was Overturned and
Stamp fell out. As the wagon went over II
fell on the horse and held him a prisoner
until released by those who came to the
assistance of Stamp.
Stamp was removed to the Presbyterian
hospital In the city ambulance. The horse
was not injured and the wagon wal
damaged only slightly.

drugs, the effects Of which are often more
injurious than otherwise. A method which
not only gives immediate relief. but which
strengthens the abdominal muscles and puts
the organs in a condition where they will
do their own work naturally is the Rem

and permanently cure the greatest sufferer.
