Hens Feasted on Pickles.

There wasn't any use keeping them. so
! proposed giving the hens feast I've
been reading lot about how farmers are
kept poor because of the things that go
to waste. Why not practice economy,
even with few pickles? So l chopped
them UP fine with knife and threw them
into the chicken yard. where the hens
would ind them next morning.
That was Monday night. When | came

the boys had six dead hens laid out nicely

Jane Wants 100 Pullets.

The eggs we have in the incubator are
white Plymouth Rocks, the same kind
the hens are sitting on, but from a diff
ferent farm. This will give us two dis
tinct strains of the same breed en-
aiding US to "cross-nate them next
year for breeding. Poultry authorities
seem to agree that is the proper way to
start healthy flock of thoroughbreds
When We come to hatch our white leg
horns later on We'll follow the same
method.
Jane has set her mind on having 100
pullets Matched early enough SO they will
be laying before cold weather sets in next
fall. Whether she reaches her goal is go
ing to depend on the sort of luck We
have. The Matching and raising of young
chickens seems to be the most difficult
part of the poultry business. though I
judge from what | read and hear that
there are plenty OF problems straight
down the line
The question of maintaining harmonious
relations between chickens and a garden
has given me a lot of concern. and I've
finally decided shall have to fence the

poor things with which to salve the hurt
of calamity such as this, but Ned bright

of another breeding pen. He's going TO

There was a small window above the

has done all the work himself. The run
way will be six feet wide and about
twenty feet long, sides and top covered
with small-mesh poultry wire. He plans
to buy about twenty pairs of breeders to
start with. The boy has been reading
lot of pigeon literature and seems to be
going about the thing intelligently and
to be very much in earnest [ wouldnt
be surprised if he made some money out
of it He plans to grow as much of his
feed as possible. and has asked for and
had assigned to him garden space for
that purpose.
Whatever of doubts ! may have had
about the ACCESSIBILITY of coming to the
country. and however the experiment
may turn out financially, l am satisfied
that so far as the boys are concerned
it was a wise thing to do. 1t gives
them wholesome interest not possible to
be had in town. and they are getting a
lot of outdoor exercise that is bound
to mean sturdy bodies and good health

ure to Return Books.

Owing to the non-observance of the
University Library rules in regard to
the drawing out of books and maga-
zins for home study and for over
night work. fines amounting to sever
al dollars have been levied the past
week on University students. The
chief offenders seem to be freshmen,
who either do not acquaint themselves
with the regulations or who neglect
to observe them. The taking of books
from the reserve list, of which there
are only limited number, seems to
be the chief cause of fines. These
may be taken from the library only
between closing time at night and
S:15 o'clock in the morning.
To those who continually violate
the library rules the use of Universi-
ty Library books is refused. Three
students are already on the black
list with the possibility that more
may be added If regulations are not
better observed.

COLUMBIAN HAS A MAIDSTONE
Says it AbsOrbs Poison From Bites of
Snakes and Mad Dogs.

r. II. Moore, who lives at 81 Range
Line, has a maidstone of which he
tells an interesting story. The stone
he says, was taken from the stomach
of white deer which he shot on the
border between Colorado and Nevada.
1t is a small, porous, reddish-brow
mass of oblong shape, about the size
of a hens egg.
1t was made, he says, from secre-
tions in the stomach of the deer, and
has the power of absorbing the
poison from bites of mad dogs and
snakes. He applies it to the wound
as soon as possible after the bite and
leaves it on for several hours. After
removing the stone he soaks it in
warm milk to make it give up the
poison that it has absorbed
Mr.. Moore says that the stone has
bsen applied to twelve persons bitten
by dogs. Eleven of these dogs were
mad. Every person got well, he says.
He shows two white spots on his
thumb where the fangs of a copper
head" snake struck him. He held the
thumb against the stone as he car
ried it in his pocket and says that the
bite did not even cause a swelling.
Mr.. Moore came to Columbia
short time ago from Colorado Springs.

HERE IS A CHANCE FOR TOAII1
MISSIONARY WORK.

Dear Sir: Hundreds of people in
Georgia will die this year from ty-
phoid fever, one of the most destruc-
tive of diseases, and the most easily
prevented, il a little home missionary
work was done. If a person sur
wives the disease they are nearly al
ways physically wrecked.
The experience of the United States
Army and Navy with the 'Epreventa-
tive treatment" has stamped this
disease out Of the Army and Navy.
Each county in the State should fur
nish the treatment to every citizen,
man, woman and child, free, and see
they are immunized. Many valuable
lives could be saved in Georgia every
year by just a little help at the right
time and in the right way. Or, is it
better to send the money away to
"Greenland's Icy Mountains and IN
dias Coral Strand" and let our own
people die? Wake up, We home
missionary reformers,' and get
busy, and see if you cannot be the
means of helping to save the lives
Of Georgia crackers-one Of whom
is worth more than any Wun Lung
Chinaman.
