battal!ons are known as "B!r!bi" and
age stationed on the most advanced
posts of this French colony. Owing 70
their shaven heads, the men in these
battalions are known as tctCs deS rcuUr.
and their release from this form of SER
vice is entirely dependent on their own
conduct. In one historic case, the son
of a general served four years as a pri-
Vate in one of these battalions, Which
include, in addition to men Of distinS-
lively criminal type, a number OF social
wrecks. A disciplinary battalion Is a
veritable lost legion.
y very common mistake is made in
confusing the disCipy nary batS,lions
of the Algerian frontier with the world
famous Foreign Legion OF the French
army. and consequently the Foreign
Legion has gained an undcservod repu-
tati0n for iron discipline ana unduly
harsh treatment Of its men, The chief
disabilities attendant on service In the
Foreign Legion consist m periods of
service in some of the peculiarly un-
healthy localities included in French
colonial possessions. The French
Legion suffered more than any othe'
unit of the French service during It's
period Of active service in French
Cochln-Ch!na, while inland in Algeria
its members are subjected To- pecu-

Flushing with water Is another
method of street cleaning which has
undergone important changes during
the past decade. Ten years ago the
city of New York employed thirty
gangs at what is called hand flush

Of men. To-day there are $50 gangs so
employed. Later the flushing machine
was introduced. BY the hand hush
ing method a gang OF three men can
flush &c 900 square yards in day Of
eight hours. The machine can flush
$4,000 square yards in the same time,
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-11-22

POULTRY POINTERS.

An old saying is to the effect that
There's a sucker born every minute.
But don't you be the zone for some
one who advertises for sale so-called
Poultry Secrets, etc. You will be 'sJung
in all probability, and besides be out a
dollar or two in the bargain. We will
take care of your secrets, and they
will be published from time to time in
these columns If you should not see
the advice you desire, then ask for it,
and it will be furnished through this
department, absolutely gratis and with
out obligation.
1t is often desirable to fatten poultry
for market quickly. In fact, poultry
that is fattened as quickly as possible IS
always better than that which is lean or
or that which is fattened slowly. The
best way to fatten quickly is to cOntine
the birds where they have but little
chance to take exercise. Feed finely
cracked corn, grit and all the pure fresh
water they will drink. Keep the birds
as quiet during the fattening period as
possible. Where possible put them into
a building where they cannot see out
] Continue this feeding for at least ten
days, or two weeks, and even the old and
ordinarily tough Heils VIII beCOliV lSh
der and very fat
The meat of fowls fattened in this way
is greatly superior to that of birds fat
tend out of doors, having full liberty.
One eating of them will cause you to
to never be satisfied with the other kind.
Judging from the standpoint of anal
vsis and digestibility, bargely has about
the same feeding value as wheat or
corn, and slightly more than bran and
oats. Bald barley is richer in protein
than common barley.
During the hot weather don't forget
that the hens, particularly those who
have access to free range, do not need
quite as much feed as they save for that
baked in the shape of corncakes and
even this can be eliminated.
Don't forget the dust bath it helps
wonderfully in Kidding the birds from
lice and will greatly reduce your work
of chasing them.

QUESTIONS AID ANSWERS

z. Several Of my slX-Weeks old chicks
have the gaps very badly. What can
do to cure the trouble.
A. Gaps result from the presence in
the windpipe of small worms, known as
gap worms. They may be removed by
aid of a loOped hOrsehair or specially
made gap worm remover With the
latter, however. great care must be
taken for fear of puncturing the wind
pipe, thus causing the death of the chick.
But there is another. and / believe a
still better remedy for the trouble one
that is not much bother and is without
question the best remedy of which
have knowledge. Mix together equal
parts of air-slacked lime and sulphur.
Place the mixture in a small sack or
piece of rag. such as cheese cloth.
Now, hold the affected bird in one
hand and with the thumb and fore
finger, hold its mouth open. Have some
one hold the sack containing the mixture
of lime and sulphur, and with the other
hand, tap the sack lightly, causing the
fumes of the mixture to penetrate the
chicks throat. Usually one good dose
will be sufficient to effect cure. If
the trouble is not corrected by the first
treatment, repeat the dose several times.
This is not only a sure cure, but one
that will not cause the death of a single
bird and it is a great deal less trouble
than using the hOrsehair and less dan
gerOus than the gap extractor.

The PROPER CARE
OF GROWING STOCK
Their Rations, Care, Etc.
By J. H. McFAUL, Jr.
(4H Rights PeSer0ed)

When selecting pullets to be used as
layers or breeders, discard all that may
be crippled or that have had serious
illness. The pullet may be all right,
but the constitution of the birds is such
that she is easily susceptible to the
slightest climatic change and may thus
be a menance to the rest of the flock
latter on. Better prepare her for the
market.
Keep the birds exercising. use the
above method of feeding and there will
be no fear of overlooking either the
growing pullets or the laying stock.
Don't make the mistake of forcing the
pullets. This may be well enough late
in the winter but not in the beginning
of their laying period. Avoid all stimu-
Tents other than fresh air. exercise and
wholesome food
