Poultry Keeping in the Suburbs
Advice from Government Experts

, daily Regulate this feed so that the
birds eat about one-haH mash ana
one-half scratch grain, which VIII
mean feeding about 1 quart of mixed
grains daily to II Plymouth Rock
hens, or to Ia Leghorns. In order to
utilize the waste table products to the
best advantage, a moist mash may be
used in place of the dry mash, feed
ing once daily. If it contains much
meat, table scrap may be substituted
for the beef scrap; if not, merely add
it to the mash given above.
The selection of stock is matter or
considerable Importance. as a great
deal of ones success or failure with
poultry depends upon the individual
specimens used to breed from. Care
should be taken to select the early
maturing, fast-growing pullets. Hens
will not, as a rule, lay until they are
we'll matured; consequently it can be
readily seen that the slow-growing
breeds will not begin to lay as soon
as the former. A good index to a
hens ability to pay a profit over the
cost of feed and labor is her ability
to be continually on the move. 1t is
advisable to keep but one breed of
pure bred fowls. as the product from
a flock of the same variety is more
uniform than that from a flock of
mixed breeds or mongrel stock.
1t makes a healthy, well-fed flock
to produce eggs. Fowls must not be
allowed to become too fat. as but few
eggs will be laid by hens in such con-
dition. To prevent their getting over
fat. it is best to make them work for
~Nf thnfv hxy trla inc in
the litter, of which there should be
about inches on the floor. This lit
ter can be of straw, leaves OF chaff,
and should always be kept dry.
A good feed for egg production is
one composed Of corn, wheat and oats,
equal parts by measure. 1t is advisa-
BILE to use homegrown grains when
ever possible In sections where corn
and oats do not thrive, other. grains
can be used to good advantages; for
example, a mixture of equal parts by
measure of kafir corn, oats and barley
will produce good results. Scatter
small handful of this mixture for
every three hens in the litter morning
and noon, and give them all they will
eat of 1t in V-shaped trough at
night. In the winter time some green
Ieeu SllOulQ De leu DIT noon, CdDUdSe OF
mangel-wurzels, either chopped or
whole, are good. Every few days look
in the litter carefully and see If the
fowls are eating all the grain being
given them; if not, reduce the guam
tity. Fowls that have to work for
what feed they get seldom become
overfat. Grit and oyster shells in
hopper should always be kept before
them. The grit is used to grind their
feed, and the oyster shell furnishes the
lime for the eggshells. Be sure to
keep water before them at all times.
Birds that are laying drink much more
water than those that are not laying.
The water should be kept out Of the
direct rays of the sun.
The period Of time 1t takes to hatch
eggs of the domestic hen is 81 days.
There are two methods of incubation
and brooding, namely, natural and ar
tificial. In natural incubation and
brooding the hen is allowed to sit on
nest of eggs and brood or mother

A report on the Eastport quadrangle,
Maine, recently issued by the United
States Geological Survey, deals with
region of more than unusual interest.
Eastport, from which the quadrangle
receives its name, has the double dis
tinction of being the easternmost city
of the United States and the center
of the sardine- packing industry of
the Atlantic coast The actual eastern
most point of land in the United States
is West Quoddy Head, marked by
lighthouse q few miles south of East
port, but still within the quadrangle.
The natural beauties of the region and
the large stretches of protected water
along the irregular coast, attract to
this part of Maine many summer WIS.,
itQrs, although it has not yet become
so populous a resort as the coast of
Maine farther west or the Canadian
coast farther east Some conception
of the extreme irregularity of the
coast may be gained from the state
ment that Eastport may be reached
from it's sister town Lubec by g.
mile ferry, whereas the traveller fol-
lowing the shore would have to walk
100 rocky miles to get from one of
these towns to the other
The EastEort region is one of the
few places in the Atlantic States that
still counts among its inhabitants the
direct descendants of the native own
ers of the soil. These are the Passa-
maquoddy Indians, who form a small
village at Pleasant Point, where they
live as temporal wards of the State
and as spiritual wards of the Catholic
Church. Because they have adopted
so freely the ways of the white man
these Indians have ceased to be pic
tureSque, but tourists are interested in
them because of the really artistic
baskets of sweet grass and dyed wood
woven by the women. Only once a
year. on Corpus Christi Day, do they
deck themselves out in ceremonial
robes and with songs and dances re-
call the savage glories of long ago.
This feast day Of course attracts spec
tators from all the neighboring towns.
Though now very up to date. the vii
lage of these Indians as late as 1883
consisted mainly of tepees, and it was
then common to see them clad in their
native costumes. Their school. con-

Senators with Resolutions

Washington, D. c., April 25-(Spe-
ciar-The administration is breathing
hard and trying to keep from taking
the count. The Mexican policy has
been a tremendous strain upon all in
authority and has not altogether
ceased. Of course everybody stood
right in behind the President when 1t
came to a matter of demanding that
Huerta salute the Stars and Stripes
at Tampico. The Maine Republicans
were not at all slow in that. although
they felt that if something equally
vigorous had been done long before II
would have been much better. There
was a conviction, however, that some
better way might have been devised
than starting the entire Atlantic fleet
for Tampico, when there were already
enough American warships riding at
anchor at Tampico to blow that city
out of existence.
The President seems to have been
getting in worse and worse with the
canal tolls repeal bill. The Senate
committee on interoceanic canals is
conducting hearings. which help
mighty little from the administration
point of view and bring out testimony
that Secretary Bryan and President
Wilson could better have considered
before they embarked upon the repeal
project Presumably the bill will be
forced through the Senate but at very
great cost to the old Democratic party.
Indeed the ranks are broken alike in
the Senate and the House with no
prospect Of harmony hereafter. From
political viewpoint it would probably
be better for the Democrats If the war
scare could last awhile. The excite
ment over the Mexican war prospect
has diverted public attention from
canal tolls.
Advocates of National prohibition in
Maine are making their voices heard
at Washington these days. Hearings
have been in progress recently on a
proposed prohibition amendment to the
Constitution. The Maine advocates
thereof have been experimenting these
efforts by hundreds, if not thousands,
of petitions asking that the amend
ment be favorably considered. Many
of these petitions have been forwarded
to Senator Burieigh. Some of the re-
cent ones have come from citizens of

PASSPORT, Me-, the Region of
Summer Resorts and the Home
OF the Passamaquoddy Indians

PASSPORT region was a veritable Am
erican Bay of Naples. bordered by vol
canoes that poured lavaS out upon the
floor of the ocean and showered ashes
into its waters. On many of the Wea-
beaten surfaces of the rocks the
lavalike structure appears as perfect
as on a piece of modern lava. The
outward contour of these Silurian vol
canoes has been completely destroyed
in the wearing down of the land dur
ing millions of succeeding years, and
even their exact location can be but
roughly surmised. Only the lava flows
and ash beds remain, like scattered
ruins of fallen temples.
In spite of frequent catastrophes in
the form of volcanic eruptions the sea
at this time teemed with animal life,
whose fossil remains can readily be
found by anyone who cares to search
the shale beds along the shore.

which earthquakes produce, but prob

recent events in the geologic story of
that region, for it is known that dur
ing and Immediately after the inva-
sion of this part of the continent by
the great ice sheet from the north
west in glacial times the land stood as
much as 200 feet lower than it does to-
day. Even those who are uninitiated
in geologic lore can see in the clay
deposits which cover the lowlands and
locally carry clamshells, in the gravel
beds that extend high up the hillsides,
and in occasional rock-cut cliffs far
above the present sea cliffs, conyinc-
ing evidence that the land once stood
much lower than now. When the great
covering of glacial ice melted away or
retreated northward the land rose
somewhat rapidly to about its present
position, and. remarkable as 1t may
seem, there are good grounds for be-
lieving that its previous subsistence
was due directly to the weight OF the
glacial ice, and that the uplift occurred
| in response to the decrease of weight
as the ice melted away-surely re-
markable mobility and sensitiveness in
anything so phlegmatic and resistant,
according to usual standards, as the
rocky crust of mother earth.
