The medical profession is divided in opinion as
to the in which maarial poison gets into the

poison the specific germs of which breathed into the
lungs and thus transmitted to the circulation Others
the poison through the bites of mosquitoes. All however
agree that MALARIA is blood affection and any treat

this vital fluid but at the time add the necessary

Product of sailor with Natural GIFT
for breeding Fowls.
The commercial Importance Of the
hen and her product has formed the
theme OF many a comment since Secre-
tary Coburn of the Kansas State Board
of Agriculture gave cackling feminin-
ity her due d few years ago in book
entitled The Helpful Hen, but the
hen as an object of the breeders fan
cy is less considered by the great,
thoughtess, chicken eating public.
Breeding chickens is less expensive
than breeding trotting horses, for the
animals cost less on the hoof, the gen
erations are shorter-about one-third
as long-and variations are more cas-
lily secured, the st. Louis Republic
says. There are no pedgreed chick
ems. The Identification of sucking
colt as the offspring of registered
mare is simple and easy, but into the
case of the chicken there are obvious
difficulties Not the least of these is
the division of maternal labor, in the
accomplishment OF which 1t comes
about that scarcely any hen of birth
and consideration is permitted to sit
on her own eggs. A freedom is there
fore allowed TO breeders in the intro
-duction of fresh and alien blood into
well-known strains Of fowls which
make the breeder of dogs or horses
stare and gasp,
For example, the Golden Wyandotte
fowl, as originally bred, has not
drop Of Wyandotte blood in its veins.
Joseph McKeen, a Wyandotte breeder
of Omro, Wis, conceived the Idea of a
golden-colored Wyandotte fowl Mr..
McKeen was an old sailor with nat
ural gft for breeding fowls. He had
none of the paraphernalia considered
necessary for the modern breeder; he
could accomplish more with a few old
boxes, sack OF Cornmeal and a few
hens than can the average fancier with
all his costly apparatus. A common

They are either anchored or drifted
at night, and the turtles swimming
along get tangled up in them and fall
an easy prey.
AS the hawksbill turtles spend most
of their time at the bottom in deep
water, different apparatus must be
used to catch them. The turtler first
discovers their location by means of
a water telescope, which is an ordi-
nary water bucket with wooden
bottom removed and a pane Of glass
substituted. BY putting this on the
surface bottom down and placing the
head in the upper part the bottom Is
clearly visible.

Keeping Turtles Alive After Cap
Turtles generally have special spots
In shallow water close to shore to
which they return every night, and
each animal has its own wallow or
burTow, where it remains when not
eating or travelling. 1t IS IN these
places that they are generally sought
In pegging the aim IS to drive the
peg in the chimes of the carapace Of
the turtle, as this offers the best hold
ing part and does the least damage to
the animal. When turtle is seen the
pegger stands erect on the forward
thwart with his miniature harpoon
poised for prompt throw at the right
moment.
AS soon as the animal is hit it dives
and drags the boat forward at a rapid
rate 1t is very soon compelled to
come to the surface to breathe and IS
then easily secured by means of a
rope, if too large to be taken into the

Key West, Fla, was for many years
the center of a prosperous fishery for
sea turtles, but recently the business
has been rapidly dwindling owing to
the improvident methods employed.
the young and the old and even the
eggs being gathered in without
thought of the future.
Three species Of turtle. the green.
the loggerhead and the hawksbill, are
caught and handled by the Key West
fishermen and dealers, according to
an article in the Montreal Star. The
green turtle is the most highly priced
for food This turtle is found on the
Atlantic seaboard from Long Island to
Brazil and at one time was especially
common on the keys along the Florida
coast
The female turtle lays from 800 to
600 eggs in a season, burying them
in the sand and leaving them to hatch
without further attention. Owing to
their many enemies 1t Is probable that
but few Of the young turtles survive.
The loggerhead turtle occurs along
the Atlantic coast from Virginia to
Brazil and is common on both the
east and the west coast Of Florida. It
is more common than the green tur-
tie, which is undoubtedly owing to the
fact that It is the least valuable Of
the marine turtles and there IS little
demand for it's flesh. More eggs Of
this species are taken for food, how
ever, than OF any other.
Grows to Enormous size.
1t attains an enormous size. far sur
passing the green turtle. Examples
weighing 1880 pounds have been cap
tured, but the average now IS prob
ably about 200 pounds.
The female of this species breeds
during the summer, the first eggs be-
ing laid generally during the night Of
full moon In June. A peculiar fea-
ture of the laying process Is that moth
ing apparently disturbs the creature
or IS sufficient to drive her away
Striking her with a stick or jumping
up and down on her back produces
no effect. After finishing. however
abe IS very timid and fees for the
water at the slightest noise.
The hawksbill or tortoise shell tur
tie is found on the southern coast of
Florida, and thence to the West In
dies the Bermudas and South Amer
lea. The flesh is rarely eaten, al
though the eggs are gathered for food
and for the manufacture OF oil. The
great value Of this species is in its
horny covering, which is the tortoise
shell Of commerce.
The hawksbili does not grow very
large, the maximum weight not ex-
ceedng 400 pounds. Those with a
greater weight than 100 pounds are
not now common on the Florida coast.
The she'll of the smaller turtle is
thin and Of little use; il increases in
thickness and value with the size Of
the animal
In turtlins gill nets and cast nets
are generally used. The former are
about 100 yards in length with a

seemed to his eye to possess certain
qualities Of size and shape which
marked her for experiment. She was
crossed with the Seebright bantam.
This gave the rose comb and the laced
feathers. A further cross with the
partridge cochin fixed the color and
increased the size, while an admix-
ture OF Plymouth Rock helped in the
establishment OF the general type and
heightened the laying qualities. The
fowls thus produced were golden Wy
andottes, with rose comb, clean legs
and feathers laced with black on a
gold ground; but they had not one
drop of Wyandotte blood They were
subsequently crossed with the white
Wyandottes to increase the stability
of the type.

there kept until sale days or until
Here they are fed on marine plant
known as turtle grass, sweet potato
vines, morning glory vines, mangrove
leaves, etc. When a sufficient number
Of turtles have accumulated an auc-
ton sale Is held.
The upper shell Of the hawksbill is
covered with thirteen plates. called
collectively In the trade the head.
The plates vary in thickness from an
eighth to a quarter Of an inch, accord
ing to the age and size of the animal,
and weigh collectively from four to
six pounds These plates form the
tortoise shell Of commerce and bring
about So pound
In securing the plates the animal
must be handled while still alive. The
shell IS first cut loose from the tur-
tie with a knife. 1t Is then put into
boiler of boiling water, and IN
about five minutes the plates can be
ripped off with a knife. II allowed
to remain little longer in the water
the plates would drop off Of their own
accord but they would be injured by
too long submersion In the hot water.
The Cubans use a knife heated al
most white and with this tear off the
plates and let the still living animal
go. Formerly the plates were de-
tached from the bony framework by
laying the animal while alive on a
hot fire or sometimes by soaking 1t
while alive in boiling water. Fortu
nately these inhuman methods are
rarely practised now.
The under shell of the hawksbill,
called In the trade yellow belly and
by the fishermen calipee, is also saved
After being dissolved by means Of
chemicals 1t is used in the manufac-
ture of meerschaum pipes. The up
per shell Of the loggerhead IS en-
ployed in the manufacture of cheap
combs, glue, etc.
The proverbial nine lives of the cat
are well known, but the cat is not In
It with a turtle when It comes to
hanging onto life. Signor Rodi Of
Italy once cut a turtles head off and
noted that It lived for twenty-three
days without a head, and another
whose brain he removed lived for elk
months, apparently unconscious that
it had suffered any loss.
