COUGHS UP A WAR BULLET,
Veteran, Branded Consumptive, Shows
Doctors Wrong and Saves Life.

PLAINF1ELD. N. j., Feb. 2S.-A
violent fit of coughing. physicians de-
clare. save. the life of Caleb Muir.
an aged veteran Of the civil war For
80 years OF more Muir has been point
ed out as victim of lingering con-
sumption" Grown up men, who have
lived in the vicinity of Four Corners
and the neighboring village of Wood
bridge, had heard when they were boys
that Muir was in the firm grasp of the
dread disease and was apt to pass
away at any time. But Muir lived
on.
One of Muir's sinking spells" was
accompanied by violent fit of cough
ing. During this spell Muir coughed
up a lead bullet weighing about half
an ounce. Since this experience the
veteran has fully recovered and de,
clares he never .elt better in his life.
The bullet is one of two Muir received
when he was with the union cavalry
under General Phil Sheridan in the
Shenandoah valley.

FRANKLIN, KY. Feb. 2S.-Now that
the body of H. c.. Atkinson has been
laid in its last resting place in Green
Lawn cemetery, that burying place
will lose the Queerest epitaph. For
many years a handsome tombstone has
stood in the cemetery bearing On one
side this inscription:
III. c. Atkinson will occupy a space
in this lot just as soon as his present
contract with nature has been cOmplet-

COMET WILL STRIKE EARTH
March to be Time When Terra's At
mosphere is Ignited.

ROME, Feb. 2S.-Professor Matteuc-
CT, director of Vesuvius observatory,
announces thaat toward the end of
March part of the new comet discov-
cred by Marchetti will come in con-
tact with the earths atmosphere, with
consequences probably dangerous to
the world. Matteucci's brother is of
the same opinion.
The danger may be brief, al
though necessarily it will be acute. If
the earth comes into collision with
the comets tail the earth's atmosphere
will probably be ignited and every
trace of life be Immediately and vio-
lently destroyed.
Professor Matteucci adds other i'm
portant phenomena to be expected as
the result of the recent big sun spot
Professor F. P. Leavenworth, head
of the astronomy department at the
university of Minnesota, said today:
L have no reason to believe that such
thing will occur. 1t would be very
hard to predict the exact course of a
comet, and, l should say. almost i'm
possible to tell whether it would enter
the earthS atmosphere And if it
should. it would be difficult to predict
what would be the effect. w know so
little of the nature and composition of
a comet that its actions in the earth's
atmosphere would be of a nature en-
tirely unknown to present day astrono-
mers. If merely the tail of the comet
should come close to the earth, l do
not imagine that there would be any
great damage done. but it is impossible
to predict the result, if the whole
comet should approach.

Hasten the Moult.

A hen which is molting, never lays.
Therefore during the mo1ting season,
eggs are scarce and usually the price
advances. If you could by any means
hasten the molting season with your
fowls, you might expect to have your
hens laying while the price was better
than the average. Possibly the follow
ing directions, from the Inland Far
mer, may be valuable to you:
1t is the common belief that the
poultry keeper can hasten the period
of molting of the earlyhatched birds.
This is true, in a measure, but in a
measure only 1t is natural that late
Matched birds will mott late, and early
Matched birds will mott early, and
when mo1ting is influenced at all, it
cannot be for more than two or three
weeks
When the bird is about five or six
months of age, the former date be-
ing preferable, feed on a light ration
for a week or two. If the bird is in
the yards it should be confined for a
part of the day in the houses or lots
where there is no feed. Fasting in
this way will start the mott. AS soon
as the mOlting is. over and the new
feathers begin to start, the bird should
be given a ration which includes an
abundance of heterogeneous feed. Sun
flower seed, wheat bran and prepared
chick foods which are known to be
rich in nitrogen should be used. Sum
flower seed is the best Of those named,
and if the farmer has supply of it, he
need invest in no other similar teed
Feed containing a goodly supply Of nj
trogen rapidly assists in the production
of feathers, so the bird is in full feather
before winter sets in.
It sometimes happens that birds
which are Matched very early in the
spring do not mott as early as they
should, and for such birds the above
suggestions will be found especially
beneficial.

a fraud. Time has proved that it was
far from being a humbug
The incubators will hatch any kind
of eggs, but the length of time varies
in different birds or fowls. It takes
a humming bird only twelve days to
come through, a canary eighteen, duck
tWenty-eight, a turkey thirty, and a
swan forty. One authority reports that
ne found some snake eggs in a pile of
compost and put them into a machine.
When he went to look again the bot
tom of the box was squirming mass
of little spotted adders. The eggs of
quail, pheasant, and all kinds of game
birds develop readily in the improved
incubator of the present time Ostrich
eggs are also being Matched successfully
in Florida, Arizona and California.
The largest incubator ever built in
America was on duck ranch at Strouds-
burg, Pa. It was built twenty-tw feet
square, with an eggtesting room 10 by
IL in size adjoining. It cost $4,000 and
held 10000 eggs at a time. The yearly
capacity of this monster Matching ma
chine was 100000 eggs
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-09-25

A writer in one Of the poultry jour
nails last year stated that he had tried
moulting hens by hand, that is, pluck
ing them as you do ducks and geese.
He stated the process was harmless
to the hens and caused them to get to
laying earlier in the fall than when
nature did the moulting
This suggestion opens a new field
for thought and experiment. It re-
mains for some one to learn just how
to proceed-how to feed previous to
the plucking, and when the work can
best be done
Instead of having feathers strewn
all over the farm they are saved. In
stead of having the shedding take
four to six weeks of time, the work
is done all at once, and the new crop
Of feathers start. It seems as though
this may be more than a novel thing.
1t may have value to the pou1trymen
who want their birds to shed early.
We suggest that some Experiment
Station take this up and see if it has
value

a Plymouth Rock hen which frequently
lays large eggs with two yolks, but one

large as five ordinary eggs. It measured
g. inches in circumference one way, and
7% the other. Inside was another per-

were two yolks Thus there we're three

Mou1ting by Hand.

Geese have been picked, FOR their

cruel. Probably a person could learn
to pick the ripe feathers from hen as
we'll as from a goose. The idea came
from a writer in Successful Farming,
and is as follows:
