Improved Outfit for Diver.

When clothed in the ordinary div
or S suit topped with the heavy brass
helmet diver is helpless. The air
that is pumped down to him fills not
only the helmet, but the entire suit,
putting it out to such an extent that
heavy weights are required to keep
the man down. The work that he
can do Is limited. One Of the annoy
ances that he has to endure is the
fact that he cannot reach inside of his
suit to ease any discomfort. A diver
once discovered a June bug In his
helmet when he was down under wa
ter an6 he was obliged to endure all
tie torture of having the insect crawl
over his face without any possible
means Of reaching it to destroy it or
even brush it away. Recently, how
vver, a French inventor devised a
Divers outfit which dispenses with
everything but an abbreviated form
OF helmet. Air is pumped to the
diver in the usual way, through pipe
which is attached to his helmet at
the back OF the neck.

One morning a tall man Of good

with smile and outsretched hand.
He was cordially received. but there
was no sign of recognition on the part
Of the merchant, who had won his

Food for Poultry.
Poultry food should be palatable.
Some grains are the favorite food of
chickens. while others are not. Rye
may be fed. but 1t is not generally
liked by poultry, and should never be

used in "a mixture with other grains,
and will be eaten by the flock Relish
is one Of the factors of proper feed
ing.
Food should be varied. The best
commercial poultry foods on the mar.
ket are combinations of the common
farm grains. There are varying
amounts Of each, according to nutri.
tive value and cheapness-wheat,
oats. corn, barley, rye, millet-seed.
caneseed, field peas, buckwheat, sun
fower-seeds and grasseeds. With
these are combined grit. shells and
charcoal. These foods produce good
results, mainly because Of the va
riety. With little instruction, one
could make such a combination for
the flock of grains on the farm.
