GIVING CHARCOAL TO FOWLS
Puts Them In Good Condition FOR
Work and Prevents Many Diseases
Incidental TO Season.

Does the average farmer know that
an excellent grade OF charcoal can
be made by burning corn cobs till
they turn red, extinguishing the fire.
and when dry grinding for mash
feeding for the poultry.
Charcoal is not a food, though
fowls gain in flesh and eggs durins
its use; It simply puts them and
keeps them in a good condition for
work. 1t prevents disease because OF
its great capacity to absorb gases,
acids and impurities. 1t is an alter
alive, changing diseased conditions
to normal, disinfectlng the diges,
tive tract and toning up the system.
In putrid disease like roup, in fer
mentation like sour crop. in intesti'
nal malades like dlarrhea or cholera,
It is of great benefit. In spring and
in summer. when the fowls blood is
sluggish 1t Is needed as a purifier to
ward Off diseases incidental to these
| seasons.
1t should BIO kept before fowls in
size to suit their age, and where fowls
refuse TO eat 1t fine charcoal should
be mixed in the mash occasionally. II
is best given to individual birds in
five-grain capsules-large doses are

STAND ASIDE FOR ELEPHANT
Animals Of the Jungle Have Wel-Ree.
ognized Etiquette Observed at
Drinking Places.

A moving picture firm has been TAX
ing some remarkable pictures at wa
ter-hole in Abyssinia of animals which
come there from miles around to
Quench their thirst.
1t is the etiquette of the jungle for
the elephant to drink first. No mat.
ter how many animals are around the
', ater hole, thsy all stand aside for
the greatest beast OF all. Many OF
the animals come 40 or so miles for a
drink, and there Is a truce between
even the most deadly enemies. After
the elephant comes the rhinoseros
Although most OF the other animals OBJ.
serve the wster-hole truce faithfully
two rhinos will fight over their preoe-
dence. The cinematograph operator
obtained wonderful pictures of two OF
these huge animals going at 1t hammer
and tongs. The tight only ended by
one OF the animals being killed.
When the rhinoceros had finished
the CRATES drink their fill, followed
by zebras. Zebras always travel In
herds, and sometimes 40 or 30 will ar
rive at the water hole at time. Ac
cording to the etiquette of the jungle
however, they only come in fourth fol
the drinking stakes. The first fouI
animals are fXed in order, but the rest
get a drink just how and when they
can.-Pearson's Weekly.

PUT MUCH RELIANCE ON ANT
Use Of the Little Insect in Medicine
and Surgery Has Been Well-NIsh
Universal.

Among the last of the remedies pro-
vocatiye of nausea of the imagination
to disappear from the lists of official
remedies have been preparations made
from ants. Such preparations, how
ever, have not obtained much recogni-
ton In this country even among the
wise old women In domestic practice
though in parts Of Europe they are
yet In use. Ant baths, made by boil
ing ants in water, are yet in use by
Bavarian peasant for rheumatism and
gary. In Bohemia, 1t is said. for par
alysis OF the lower limbs patients are
placed in an ant hill and allowed to re-
main until the whole body is covered
by the insects, which are then shaken
of when the cure is effected. In
Brandenburg an aching tooth is rubbed
with blood by means Of crust Of bread
and the crust is then placed in an
ant hill. lmpoverishment OF blood Is
cured by means OF an egg buried in
the hill OF the large red ants. The
eggs must have been laid by a pure
white or pure black hen, and must
have been found when still warm. In
Oberwalz the crushed eggs and larvae
of ants are stirred up with cream and
used as a remedy for collie. A salve
made from wood ants, dog fat and coal
dl:st is said to be used by Hungarian
gypsies against goiter. There is also
in use in Montevldeo the ant suture,'
in domestic surgery. Those who had
been bitten by ants noticed that the
heads remained clinging to the skin
when the body was torn away, being
held in place by the powerful man
dibles. The idea was thus suggested
that the ants jaws could be used tc
close the edges of wounds. The edges
of the cut are pressed together an AM
is held so that it's jaws will grasp both
sides and its head is cut of. Seyera
are applied along the wound and serve
instead of the usual catgut stitches.

you will be unfortunate in attempts
TO raise any goslings even If you do Sc
cure ganders. This is because the
mating season is I'm the fall, usually
I'm September or October, and also be-
cause geese very much dislike to have
their quarters changed when once &C
customed to them For this reason peo-
pie who wish TO secure birds for breed
ing purposes make their purchases In
the fall so the fowls will get accus-
toned TO their new surroundings.
Doubtless nests will be made and the
eggs laid, but the eggs may not hatch.
II you are forced to buy n gander this
spring. It will perhaps be advisable
for you to purchase some good eggs
of the same breed as you keep, and
use these rather than the eggs from
your own flock, or at least mark the
eggs so that you can distinguish the
purchased ones from those laid by
your own birds. In this way you
should not be wholly disappointed.
