GIVE CHARCOAL. TO POULTRY
That Can Be Found and 10 q
Necessity for Chickens.

Charcoal Is one of the best stom-
ach correctives that can be given to
mar or beast and Is a necessity for
healthful chicken raising. When soft
feed in the way of mashes are fed to
the fowls, charcoal is very essential,
for 1t corrects any tendency of the
food to sour and greatly assists tAe
process of digestion. 1t has been prov
en- that all poultry will grow and fat
ten faster and the meat will be more
delicious In flavor when charcoal is
fed to them regularly; in fact, in all
the large ~fattening plants charcoal is
regularly fed to all the fowls in the
f%attening coops. Charcoal can be pur-
chased at any poultry supply house,
but can easily be manufactured al
home. If you burn wood in your
stove, there will be plenty of charcoal
in the ashes to feed a large flock OF
fowls. if you don't burn wood, take
some corn cobs and put In the oven
till they are thoroughly charred. Corn
and cobs may also be partly charred
at times and fed to the hens with
profit.

ALCOHOL AND RACE SUICIDE
Two Noted s~eicgtlsts Give Their
Views of Strong Drink
and Its Effects.

In an address at Philadelphia, DR.,
\. a. MacNieholl, surgeon at the Red
Cross hospital. New York. presented
this striking comparison in the study
OF two separate groups OF families:
Through n long line Of successive
generations | have made a study of
two separate groups of families. One
group, children of drinking parents;
one group of children of abstaining
parents.
In ten families of drinking habits
there were 55 children. Thirty died
in infancy, three OF heart disease,
four were insane, seven were anaemic.
eight were tuberculous, one had dia-
betes, three had very poor teeth, three
had adenoids. Only four of the num-
Der were normal. or the total, two
were excellent. six were fair, and sew
en- were deficient in their studies.
I'm ten families of abstaining par
ents there were 20 children. Two died
in infancy, two were neurotic and
anaemic, one had rheumatism, one
was t~uberculous. and 81 were normal.
In study, Sc were excellent, 10 were
fair. only two were deficient.
"Of the children of total abstaining
families, 80 per cent were normal; Of
the total of children of drinking par.
ents, 80 per cen were abnormal.
Eighty per cent of the children Of
regular drinkers have commissions
while teething. OF children dying
from such diseases as measles. whoop-
ing cough, scarlet fever, and other in
fantlle disorders, a large percentage
are children of drinking ancestry"
DR.. I. j.. Mays, specialist in con
sumption, Philadelphia, In his address
before the s"emi-annual conference of
the American Society for the Study of
Alcohol and Other Drug Narcotics, de-
clared that inebriety was very closely
associated with consumption. The
former destroyed the vitality of the
body and permitted disease germs to
gather and grow in the lungs. In.
ebriety and consumption are twin dis
eases, the one following the other

not only frequently causes tubercu
losis, but there are many cases where
the children of drinkers develop the
white plague. A consumptive patient
frequently presents himself, in whom
the most diiigent search falls to re
veal the slightest trace of family con
sumption. The condition is frequent
ly found in the young, especially In
girls. who, after careful inquiry, arc
found to have a father or mother, OF
sometimes both, who had been tip
piers of alcohol.
Children of alcohol parents are
from 200 to 26O per cent more liable
to consumption. and from 300 to soc
per cent more prone to nervous dis.
eases than are children of abstemious
parents.

LEG WEAKNESS IN CHICKENS
Behind Disease There Is Usually to
Be Found Story OF Overlooking
Of Fat Foods.

Behind leg weakness there is usual.
iy to be found the history of over
feeding OF fa%t-producing foods. Cases
are sometimes seen in fioeks where q
large quantity of condiments or egg
food is given. AT the first appearance
of the trouble reduce the quantity of
the fat producing foods.
Take away corn, corr meal and con
diments. Let them have very little
meat. Put the weak birds in a place
by themselves. If the fowls are crowd
ed increase the space or get rid of
some of the birds. Feed steamed cut
clover as a noon meal, whether ii be
summer or winter.
If you nave peas or beans boil ana
add some to the morning mash. BE
sure the drinking water is pure and
give the houses extra care to see they
are in perfectly sanitary condition.
Rub the chickens legs with tiac-
ture of arnica and add one-half tea
spoonful OF tincture of Il vomiea to
each quart OF the drinking water.
Be careful not to confound leg
weakness with rheumatism. In the
latter disease there is n swelling of
the joints.

APPLES PACKED FOR MARKET
Every Individual Piece of Fruit
Should Be Carefully Laid in
Box or Barrel.

Never ship bruised fruit, because
every bruise means quick decay and
rotting fruit never brings its cost on
the market. Some growers harvest
their fruit by shaking It onto the
ground on beds of straw placed
around the trees or knocking it off
with poles and clubs. Fruit gathered
in this way is almost worthless.
Fruit should be picked in bags or
baskets slung around the picker's neck
in order that he may use both hands
and every individual fruit should be
laid, not thrown, into the receptacle.
Growers of fine oranges have learned
that even the slight abrasions made
by the picker's finger nails will cause
decay. and in many orchards the pick.
iers are provided with gloves to pre-.
yent injury of this kind.
Next to proper picking comes grad.
ing, and many growers consider this
the most important operation in pre-
pairing fruit and vegetables for mar
iket. This work can best be started in
the field with the growing of the crop

PASSION FOR GIN DRINKING
Historian Lacky Says Liquor Never
Ceased to Be Cou%nteracting In
fiuence on Morals.

In his England in the 18th Cen
tury," Lacky, the historian, says that
about 1924 the passion for gin drink
ing affected the masses and II spread
with the rapidity and violence of an
epidemic. "Small as is the place which
this fact occupies in English history,
1t was probably. If we consider all
the consequences which have flowed
from 1t, the most momentous in the
eighteenth century - incomparab1y
more so than any event in the purely
political or military annals of the
country. The fatal passion for drink
was at once and i~rreyocably planted
In the nation. Physicians declared
that In excessive gin drinking a new
and terrible source of mortality had
been opened for the poor. Retailers
of gin hung out signs that their Gus.

latter referred to the custom of hay.

those who had grown too drunk to get
home could sleep off their potations.

these specimens which are left.
Each package should be filled with
the same grade throughout. If this is
done the top layer may be faced by
arranging one to three layers of fruit
to increase the attractiveness Of the
package. This is honest and perfectly
legitimate, provided the entire con.
tents are of the same grade as those
placed on top.

ored. The fruit should be allowed to
become thoroughly cool before ship
1nent. If packed in barrels or boxes
in the orchard, they should be kept
in a cool shed for a day or two before
being put into cars, and no fruit
should be shipped in carload lots or
kept in refrigerator cars.
To show the Importance of the
proper grading and packing of fruit
it may be mentioned that some apples
sold on the New York market for
four dollars per barrel, while apples
from the same orchard at the same
time sold at four dollars per box.
The former were %ungraded, while the
latter were graded, wrapped and well
packed.
