GUINEA FOWL EGG PRODUCER
Cross Between Pearl and White Seems
to Make Harder and Larger
Bird Than Full Blood.

Last spring l undertook TO keep an
account of the eggs laid by two Pearl
guineas and one white guinea hen. I
have 16S eggs to their credit already.
says a writer in Country Gentleman.
The two Pearl hens were broken up
and some eggs were lost early in the
season; though they laid a nestful of
eggs and went to setting I did not find
the nest and so did not get an account
of them. but | feel safe in estimating
40 eggs lost for which | have no ac-
count The hens got broken up and in
about three weeks | found them with
a nest of 80 eggs. Counting the ones
lost at 40, this brings my account up
to 20S eggs for three hens. | feel sure
that the two Pearl hens laid four-ffths
OF the 2oS eggs. which would make
them SO eggs each. The white hen
did not lay many eggs. / expect to
get at least 40 eggs yet before cold
weather.
Guinea hens will usually lay from
April until late in October and if kept
broken up when they ger broody. they
will lay nearly every day. The white
hens do not seem to be nearly as
good egg producers as the Pearls. at
least my white hens have not done as
good q business as the Pearl hens. A
cross between the two breeds seems
TO make q harder and larger guinea

NINE WATCHES MADE IN HOUR
Rapidly Of Manufacture Made Pos.
sibIe by Reason of ingenious
Machinery for All Parts.

IL IL claimed that the methods OF
manufacture adopted by one American
company enable it to set up, ready for
trial within an hour, no fewer than
nine watches. This rapidity of manu-
facture has become possible by reason
of the ingenious machinery invented
for the making of all the parts of a
watch.
The speed with which the various
parts are turned out is truly remark
able. Great sheets of brass and steel
are cut and rolled into ribbons, and
punched out into wheels at the rate OF
10000 a day from each punching ma
chine. Workers drill the 81 holes in
the roof of the watch as fast as they
a count. other operatives counter
sinking the holes almost as quickly.
Brass wire glides into a machine
that measures off the length of a part,
turns 1t, puts a screw thread on each
end. and actually screws it in at the
rate of 1000 a day.
The screws are so small that it is
said 80 gross of them car be put in a
thimble, while of others there are
1000 gross to a pound.
Balances are cut from the solid
steel, ground down, worked up, and
drilled with their 25 screw holes
apiece at the rate of 100 wheels a day
from each machine.
Wheels have their teeth cut, a cou-
pie OF dozen at a time, some with 60
to 80 teeth. at the rate of 1.200 wheels
a day from each machine.

CARE OF TURKEYS IN FALL
when Weather Begins to Turn Cold

Increased.

AS soon as the weather begins to
turn cold and food becomes scarce
the grain ration of growing turkeys
should be increased. A mixture Of
wheat and corn is advisable. fed
sparingly at first and gradually in
creased till they are getting all they
will eat. The turkeys at this season
should be fed regularly thtee times a
day. They should on no account be
kept In confinement, but should have
free range to encourage the forma-

emulate a large amount of flesh later
when forced feeding commences.
While free range condnces to vigor
and growth, birds having grain feed
will not run on all fat In a too siren

Those designed for heavy feeding

given in addition to a full feed of
wheat and cor night and morning.
The mash may either be given at
noon or at two regular intervals be-

Plenty of Grit and fresh water should
be before them at all times.
The quality of the flesh is vastly
