EARLY NOTING OF CHICKENS
Western PouItrynaan Gives Excellent
Method of Controlling Hens In
Changing Feathers.

Most people believe that if they car
force their hens to mott early they
will lay more eggs during the season
but this is not true. Hens that have
NOTED late will lay more eggs during
the winter than the early molters.
This has been shown by the most
careful experiments, Ext the facts are
not generally known.
Melting hens require large amount
OF feed containing nitrogen such as oil
meal, meat and other feeds rich in pro
tein. Melting can be forced by cutting
down the feed Of hens as it has been
shown by experiments that scantily
fed hens begin melting earlier than
those on full feed, but the former dc
not finish melting much earlier.
Starved hens mott more uniformly
than others and this is particularly
noticeable In hens two or three years
old
In an experiment conducted by the
Cornell experiment station it was
found that on a basis of 100 hens the
fed flock produced eggs to the value
of $29.97 more than by the starved
flock
The total income from all the birds
was S278 for the starved flock anC
$3.50 for the fed flock, a difference in
favor of natural molting for the veal
Of about $95.
A western poultryman Of long ex
perience gives his method of controll
ing molting as follows:
AS soon as the hens are through
laying he turns them out on alfalfa
feeding them dry bran only, in add
ton. Under this treatment they gel
thin. Then he feeds them a mixed
ration of grains and meat, giving q
light feed in the morning and all they
will eat at noon and night. Under
this treatment they finish moltins
quickly, get new feathers and begir
laying in September. By October :
they are all in good laying condition
and make a profit through the fal

MEDICINE OF THE LONG AGO
Ancient Papyrus Shows that the a"
of Healing Has for Centuries
Been Well Recognized.

The most ancient medical work now
existing is the Ebers papyrus, secured
in 1873 by Prof. George Ebers from
native of Luxor, in Upper Egypt. 1t
is generally assumed that it was writ
ten about 1850 B. c., but refers in
some sections to methods and medi
cines prescribed as far back as 37Oo
B. c., 5,612 years ago. Among the 10S
sections or chapters of this papyrus
chapter 103 begins:
Beginning of the book about the
uxedu in all the members of person,
such as was found in a writing under
the feet of the god Anubis in the city
of Letopolis; it was brought to his
majesty, Usaphais, king of Upper and
Lower Egypt" Usaphais is said to
have been the fifth king of the first
dynasty, reigning about 300 B. c., and
it is hard to say how long previous
to this finding the sage had lived who
first compiled the chapter or used the
cures recorded

Of dam plant" anest plant, incense,
ama-a plant, man plant, saffron, aloe

Another chapter contains eleven
dental recipes, some to be chewed,
others to be rubbed on the teeth or
applied as paste, and on another
page among remedies for various skin
diseases there are three prescrip-
tons for diseases of the teeth, but
there are no special references to any
