SHOW CHANGE OF THE AGES
Biologists Can Make Exact Deter
mination of Periods Through the
Study of Fossils.

Within the last few years, as the
work Of the United States geological
survey has given biologists larger
knowledge of the rocks of the United
States, new sort of geography has
sprung up-fossil geography. In this
new geography the lands and seas OF
the remote past are mapped in their
true form, and by means of these
maps one may follow the development
of the American continent and trace
its many changes of land and water
from age to age. 1t may seem scarce
ly possible to map these ancient lands
and seas by studying handfuls Of fos-
sils taken from the rocks on their
sites, but this is what is being done
The geologist can trace these geo.
graphic changes by noting the extent
of successive formations and the
changes in the character of the rocks,
but the age and the identity of geo.
logical formation must be determined
principally by means Of the fossils 1t
contains. The more exact determine
ton Of the ages of sedimentary forma-
tion-the floors Of ancient seas
makes possible, among other things,
the correlation from place to place
of geographic changes and shows the
direction of invasion or retreat Of
oceanic waters.

new LIFE And HOPE
BY GEORGE ELMER COBB.

Abel barrow had two appurtenances
that were prominent and peculiar to
himself-a wooden leg and lawsuit.
The false limb was old, clumsy and
splintery. for he could not afford an
artificial one. The lawsuit also was
frayed and worn and weak, for the rea-
son, Abel declared, that he did not
have the capital to push 1t to con-
clusion.
Abel worked in q bank, and his du-
ties, like himself, were erratic. He
had charge Of the waste paper depart
ment of the institution. That is,
every afternoon after banking hours
he collected all the waste baskets and
placed them in little store room just
as carefully as were the money trays
set in the big safety vault of the bank.
Through the day, too, he patrolled the
institution, picking up every bit or
stray paper thrown on the floor or left
at the depositors' desks.
In my time," Abel had often affirm
ed Il have found as high as a clean
thousand in cash dropped by care
less customer, and the checks and
drafts | fish out from the waste pa
per mean a whole lot to the bank.
For this original occupation Abel
received nominal salary, but was al
lowed to sell all waste paper to the
mills, and this amounted to quite con-
siderable in years time.
Abel lived in a garnet room Of a
boarding house kept by a Mrs. Smith.
Miss Eva Tracey lived at the same
place. She was a stenographer, and
through two years almost every day
Abel had bowed to her as they met
on the stairway or at table, Beyond
that, amid his troubles, Abel, in his
reticent self conferred way he knew
her only casually as he knew hundreds
OF others.
One evening he came to know the
pretty maid very much better, how
ever, and it was bright spot in his
dreary life. He came home to find
that defective chimney had scatter
ed sparks on the roof of the house
and this was partly burned off before
the flames were extinguished. The
floor Of the room Abel occupied was
covered with cinders and water, and
Mrs. Smith told him he would have to
sleep on couch in the library for a

ferent song and seemed to smile at her
when she went out to feed them.
We find few small wind holes in a
henhouse will blow all the profits out
of our pockets.
We also built a nice scratching shed
on the end of the house with large
open spaces in front to. let in air and
sun in pleasant weather and close up
with curtains when it storms. The
hens seem to enjoy it very much when
it storms so they cannot go out. We
put a load of nice clean sand in the
shed and then few inches of litter
and what fun they do have scratching
for grain in it.

night or two until the damage was
remedied.
After supper Abel repaired to the
parlor to pass the evening. He found
a book in a chair and began reading
it. He had been thus engaged for a
few minutes when Miss Tracey enter
ed the room. He nodded to her, and
then, as he observed her looking about
from place to place, remarked:
Il think you are looking for book

only to take it to my ROOM" was
the reply. But have read it, and you
are welcome to the use OF it,"
That broke the ice. She sat down
near to him. The conversation drift

been more observant, he would have
noticed that the young lady seemed
eagerly pleased at an opportunity to
make his friendly acquaintance. Final
ly she said

QUALITIES OF HoUDAN FOWL
Ore Of Best Table Breeds in United
States-Not Recommended as Farm
Fowl on Account of Crest.

The Houdan is one of the best ta-
BILE breeds we have. 1t is also an ex,
cellent layer, producing eggs not only
of large supply, but of generous size,
in the latter very much like the Min

AS farm fowl, however, they are
not recommended, for the reason that
it is a crested fowl. The young fall
easy prey to hawks on account 'of
these crests preventing them from

PARASITE OF POULTRY
Blood Thirsty Pest Causes Great
Loss to Industry.
Hens Attacked by Common Chicken
Mite Cease Laying, Become Poor
In Flesh and ListIess in Action
Remedies for Eradication.
(By II. c. PIERcE.)

The worst parasite of poultry
against which the poultryman and
farmer have to contend is the com
mon chicken mite" or red chicken
mite" There are other species OF
mites which attack poultry, but they
do much less damage. This blood
thirsty pest causes great loss to the
poultry industry of the country by
killing adult fowls and chicks and cut
ting down egg production. 1t not only
attacks poultry but horses and even
man as we'll.
Hens which are attacked by mites
cease laying, become poor in flesh,
dumpish, and listless in action. The
head and comb become pale and the
bird presents sickly appearance.
These symptoms are caused by the
Irritation and loss of blood due to
nightly visits of hordes of these
hungry parasites. 1t seems hardly
believable that fowls could be killed
by such small pests, but they are so
many In numbers that their total
capacity for blood Is enormous. Their
ravages are most pernicious on sitting
hens, as here they may have access
to their host at all times, causing a
rapid loss of blood. Attacks upon sit
ting hens often result in the hen
leaving her nest or in her death, spoil
ing the hatch In either case. Even II
the hen does withstand the ravages of
the mite the newly-hatched chicks are
attacked as soon as they emerge from
the shell and are often killed in a
short time.
The best remedies for mites are
cleanliness, sunlight and spraying
with disinfectant solutions. The poul-
try house and fittings should be so
built as to be easily cleaned. The
walls should be smooth and as free
, from cracks as possible. Nests, roots
and dropping boards should be easily
removable to. allow spraying of their
entire surface and the walls beneath
them. There are several preparations
for the eradication of mites OF which
two good ones are here given:
Shave or chop one 10-cent cake OF
laundry soap into one pint of soft wa
ter. Heat or allow to stand until a
soap paste is formed. Stir in one
pound of commercial cresol and heat
or allow to stand until soap paste is
dissolved. Stir in one gallon of kero.
sene. For use, dilute with fifty parts
of water, which will make milky
colored solution.
Commercial cresol is coal tar by
product and may be obtained from
the druggist at about thirty cents per
pound. Care should be taken not to
get any of 1t upon the hands or face
as it will cause intense smarting.
Shave or chop one-half pound OF
hard soap, add to a gallon Of soft wa
ter, place on fire and bring to boil
to dissolve the soap. Remove from
the fire and stir in while hot two gal
Ions Of kerosene. This makes a thick,
creamy emulsion which may be kept
be kept as a stock solution. For
use dilute with ten parts Of soft wa
ter. 1t is better to apply it hot If pos
sible.
Extreme care should be taken that
these mixtures do not come in con-
tact with eggs that are sold for
table purposes. Eggs sprayed with
cresol soap solution taste of carbolic
acid.

Advocates Trucking at Night.
Arthur Williams, president of the
Electric Vehicle association of Amer
lea, suggests that traffic congestion in
New York, Chicago and other busy
cities could be relieved by doing the
trucking by night instead of by day.
There is believed to be no reason why
wholesale trucking could not be done
at night. Goods may be moved from
the terminals to warehouses and the
moving in large quantities Of merchan-
disc to the large department stores
does not have to be done in the day
time. Mr.. Williams even suggests
that coal might be delivered to large
buildings at night. When the streets
are not occupied by other traffic great
er speed may be maintained and deliv-
cries may be made in less time.
