.INCREAsES EGG YIELD
Salt in Proper Quantities Of Ma
teriaI Benefit to Hens.
Food Prepared for Human Taste With
Mineral Is Not injurious or Rspsl-
lent to PoulsryResult a New
York Station.


It Is tradition that salt Il craved
BY, and Is beneficial, to all domestic
and many wild animals. with the ex-
ception Of poultry, and that to these It
Is poison. That In large quantities
this is true is an undoubted fact, as
has often beer tested.
Some years ago the writer was quite
Mortified upon going to the barnyard
one afternoon to find a dozen or
more fine hens lying about dead, In
looking for the cause OF this sudden
mortality one Of the cows messes
was found to be uneaten, and close
examination showed that the attend
ant, either through ignorance or care
lessness, had dumped upon 1t pint Of
salt-too much to be relished even
by bossy and after the cattle had
been turned Into the pasture, the
chickens, that had free range, discov-
cred the bucket Of bran, and ate from
It freely, and So rapid was the action
Of the salt that some hens died but
q few feet away. An examination Of
the crops confirmed the supposition
That It was the heavily sailed bran
that had proved fatal, says writer In
the Farm Progress.
That food sailed to the human taste
Is not, however, injurious or repel-
lent to poultry OF nearly all kinds
Is proved by the avidity with which
the latter eat and thrive upon the
table scraps, which include, besides
bread and meat, all kinds Of vege-
tables and bits Of pastry. Close OBJ
servers contend that chickens, espe-
cially, seem to need small quantities
of salt in their food, and when given
q chance, will prefer this to unsea-
Eoned grain.
What the exact effects Of the slight
" sailed ration might be on the gem
eral health and productiveness Of hens
was made the subject of experiment
sswc or three years ago at the New
York experiment station.
The feeding trial was made upon a
dozen mature hens, especially to as
certain the approximate limit Of the
feeding, For one lot Of hens salt was
mixed IN the food in increasing guam
titles, day after day, until It was fed
bit somewhat more chan six-hundredths
be an ounce per fowl, or about one
half pint per day for 100 hens More
than this produced diarrhoea in some
which disappeared when the excess Of
salt was withdrawn.
/ The test was made at the unpro-
ductive time Of the year, but an un-
expected and gratifying result was
that double the number Of eggs we're
laid by the hens fed on rather over
sailed food than by any other dozen
fowls fed on unseasoned grain and
other rations.

Banana Eaters.

Americans used to be called nation
of pie eaters. Today a more appro
pirate term would be nation OF ba
mana eaters. The United States takes
more than two-thirds of the bananas
shipped to the handlers in the world
Part Of this prominence in banana
consumption is due to geography; the
source Of supply on the Caribbean is
almost at our doors Part is due to
accident; Boston skipper introduced
the American public to this tropical
fruit while it was still unknown in
Europe. Whatever reason one may
choose to give, the United States is
the worlds chief banana market, and
though the use of this fruit is increas-
ing abroad, the American boy remains

ALL WANT TO NAME THE BABY
Advice Heaped In Profuslon on Keep
ers of Big clty's geological
Gardens.

"The arrival Of baby animal or
bird of any kind from a hippopotamus
to canary at either Of the city zoos
gives people all over town chance
to spread themselves in the matter Of
names" said a New York park keeper.
Everybody wants the honor Of
naming the baby Letters come from
all parts Of the city, and from the sur
rounding country suggesting names
that the writer's think appropriate.
Patriotism runs high among our cor
respondents. If they had their way
half the animals in the park would be
called Abe Lincoln, and a large part
of the other half Teddy Roosevelt.
Regardless Of the sex Of the youngster,
these two presidential appellations are
urged upon us.
Classical and Scriptural names also
have their advocates Hercules and
Plato in particular are proposed.
"Of all the ladies Of antiquity Niobe
seems to have first call. Once in a
while a ritter of a sentimental turn
Of mind suggests more modern ro-
mantle name. Out Of consideration for
the animal fancy names are taboo to
start with, TO call a beast of the
jungle Violet or Queenie is enough to
shame the most docile Of infants into
a reyersion to type"

Wan from french Jurymen.


In France, as well as in England,
jurymen have their grievances. The
latest can easily be remedied. The
French minister of justice has re-
ceived an address signed by citizens
figuring on the Paris jury lists, pro
testing against the bare appearance
of the courts where they have to sit.
They point out that if--tired Of look
ing at the judges, counsel, witnesses
and other parties to suit-tAey turn
their eyes upon the walls, nothing but
an inartistic paper meets their gaze,
In order to relieve this deadly mo-
notony they beg that a print Of Prud-
hons famous picture, Justice in Pur-
suit Of Crime" may be hung In each
court.
