OUR BOG WEALTH.

Statistics show that there are
enough unclaimed swamp lands within
Uncle Sans domain TO make nearly
100000 farms of 100 acres each.
II placed side by side they would
make a tract large enough to include
all Of the New England States, New
York and New Jersey.
Florida alone could almost cover
South Carolina with her EVERGLADES
and kindred tracts
Louisiana could lot out Delaware
and Maryland and have good mar
gin to spare. The sWampS of Mime
sofa, Michigan and Wisconsin COM
bined would cover nearly One-third
Of either of the two last named States.
Those Of Maine equal almost half
the area of Massachusetts.
Since it Is cheaper TO drain than to
lrr1Sate, and the cost Of perpetuating &
the Improvement is but Slight, the
fact that drainage is now one OF the
prominent questions before Congress
is not strange.
The West has been given n new i'm
petus through irrigation and it has
added much to the nations wealth.
Maine and Florida. Minnesota and
Louisiana are now presenting their
needs for help, their possibilities
As long ago as WashingtOn's time
the possibilities for swamp drainage
were noticed, Washington himself see
ing 6Sucly great agricultural re-
sources in the Dismal Swamp.
The soil is aliuvial literally gar
den prepared by nature. Similar sites
already reclaimed show an exuber-
ance of vegetation. And if she wishes
big onions or cabbage let him seek the
drained swamp land. There is untold
wealth in the bottom of these bogS,
and with their drainage will come
freedom from mosquitoes and their
attendant malaria.

HOW OLD is BIDDY?

English authorities hold that there
is no certain test Of age in fowls. But
they admit that in general the spurs
both Of hens and cocks Will distin-
guiSh q tWO-Year-Old bird.
There are exceptions. however in
which really young birds develop old
looking spurs. while really second
year birds preserve the short, rounded
spurs of cOckerel.
The texture of the legs is guide,
to some extent. and so are the deli
cacy and freshness of the skin of
the face and comb, but still an occa-
sional hen will preserve her youth
full appearance to q startling degree
The skin of the body is q better
test as it becomes coarser and dryer
looking with age.
Formerly the wing feathers were
a pul1et and hen, even afttr the
long practice of early breeding had
made the molting of early pu1lets
quite common
An Australian authority says that a
pullet will show rose-colored veins on
tha surface of the skin under the
wings.
Inere will also be long. silky hairs
growing there After year old these
hairs disappear. as also do the Veins,
and the skin grows white and Vein
less
It is more difficult to judge the
age Of water fowls than of other
poultry partly from the absence Of
spurs, partly from greater longevity
and partly because the water keeps
their legs soft and fresh.
Ducks waddle more heavily as they
grow cider, and after two or three
years they acquire q depression down
the breast.
An abdominal pouch of consider
able size indicates great age in geese
Turkeys up TO a year old are said
to have black feet, which grow pink
m to three years Of age, when they
gradually turn gray and dull.
Age in pigeons IS often told by the
color of the breast. IN SQUADS the
flesh looks whitish as seen through
the skin, but becomes more and more
nIrpIish as the bird grows older
