An appeal is being made in Johan.
nesburg to finance a treasure-huuting
expedition. The treasure is the sup
posed hoard of old Chief Sekekuni,

filled with diamonds. Details connect

Effort to Educate Farmer to
Value of Poultry Industry.
Agricultural Organization Society, In
Which Agricultural Cooperation
Of England 10 Focused ls Orig
inator Of Idea.


London.-A campaign quite novel to
England has started with the first
of the English demonstration egg
trains. Its official name is the South
Wales demonstration train 1t bears
aloft its title in big lettering and on
either side are the names of the two
societies which have organized the
endeavor. The Agricultural Organiza-
ton society, in which the agriculturist
cooperation of England is focused, is
one. The National Poultry Organiza-
tion society, whence the idea ema-
mated, is the other.
The train is a pioneer. Since the
value of cooperation in the poultry in
dustry was discovered requests for
depots have come In thousands In
the last six years the society
has striven to interest rather
lethargic public and less than thirty
depots were started 1t is now ex-
pected that 100 will be organized be-
fore the year is out and this hundred
represents only a percentage of eligi-
BILE localities.
So egg trains can be expected pres
emily to travel east and north as
well as west. The train which trav-
erses the south of South Wales Is
rather like the hare in paper chase.

it goes and large pack, 1t is hoped.

lead
The train is first and foremost mis-
sionary. Britain. as well as Wales. is
in outer darkness from the point of
view of the scientific poulterer. and
in his dialect requires above all
things instruction in "candling" The
charge is that Wales does not know
a good fowl when 1t sees 1t. which is
seldom. 1t is innocent of the arts of
examining and of trussing even such
fowls as it produces. 1t has yet to
discover the value of the breakfast
egg, and is totally unaddicted to the
necessary precaution of passing each
egg In front Of bright light before
handing it on to the consumer.
Welshmen are unaware of the dis
covery, which was well known to Ro-
man poultry keepers 1000 years ago,
that infertile eggs remain breakfast
eggs" longer than the fertile In
short the poultryman's art is in bad
way westward.
The missionary train is modelled ex-
actly on its American prototype. Prai-
rie farmers. hungry for scientific
knowledge. flock even from great dis
tances to the stopping places of the
agricultural demonstration trains.
