The most recent report OF this kind is so
circumstantial that the pro6tems II involves
arc the subject of serious scientific discussion
notably in the London Lancet. the foremost
medica. paper of the world.
Some natives Of the village Of Naini Tai, in
the United Provinces OF India, surprised and
captured a strange creature while following
bear tracks into a thickot of woods At first
they thought their captive was an ape oil a
species unfamiliar to them. 1t snared al its
captors at first, showing a very human set of
teeth. Then. seeming assured that no harm
was intended, the strange creature began To
whimpcr in a starlngly human manner Now
the natives. observing that the creature had
very little hair on IFS body while the hair of
its head was thick and fine and fell to its
shoulders, realized that their captive was q

Old.
Being taken 10 the village and washed. and
Gained By gentle treatment the CHILD proved
to be OF the white race. Its skin though
deeply tanned, and the features showed plain
~ that it was not native child. At once the
theory was established in accordance with
village traditions-that the child had been
abandoned in the woods when n helpless in

The European Situation Makes This
Imperative.

clean up. In feeding wet mash there Is
another point to be considered, and that
is the vessels from which it is fed. They
require constant cleaning to prevent the
leftover portion from becoming mouldy.
Mash foods are essential to a good egg
WELD, but for my part, | prefer, the dry
to the wet, particularly for the reasons
given and it will produce just as good re.
suits. No matter what system OF feeding
you might adopt, it is essential TO feed
green food for a full egg basket. OfcOurse,
fowls that are given free range will not
require as much of this feed as will those
kept in confinement
Fresh water IN abundance, oyster shells,
grit and charcoal are also important fac
tors to be considered in feeding for eggs
These cost but little and should be kept
before the fowls at all times.
II the above details are carried out and
the houses kept clean, dry and reasonably
free from vermin you will have little or
no trouble in getting fairly good yield
during the coming winter months. Don't
loose sight Of the fact that eggs are going
to be scarce this winter. and by giving
your flOcks proper care and attention you
should make this the banner year in so
far as profit from your fowls is concerned.
Milford chronicle., 1914-11-13
POULTRY POINTERS.

II you have not already prepared for
the cold winter blasts which will soon be
upon US, he up and doing while there is
yet time. A few days of grace still remain,
so make haste while the sun shines, or
else don't grumble when you have been
caught mapping.
Millions of eggs were imported into
this country during last year, and even
with this great quantity flowing into our
markets, they were to be had only at a
premium. The importatiOns this year
will indeed be- scarce, owing TO the great
contlictnOW raging in Europe Remember
it is strictly up to the American poultry
men to supply the demand this coming
winter, and the man who is able to get
his birds 10 yield handsomely is the niau
who will reap the benefit from monetary
consideration. Will you be one OF them ?
Try it, it is worth the effort
Mustard is often used as an aid to winter
egg production, but great care is necessary
In its use lest more harm thal good be
done.
If you are only raising chickens from
force of haOit, and have no love for them,
it would be better to quit the practice at
once. You will never have any great
amount Of success. Love for the birds
makes one study their requirements and
attend to all details necessary for their
health and comfort.
The old saying "There is profit in econ
omy" Is equally as true in relation TO the
poultry industry as to any other business.
The poultryman who aims to get all he
can out of his birds will endeavor to keep
down the expense as much as possible.
HOppers are necessary but expensive.
However an inexpensive hopper may be
made from an ordinary galvanized water
pail for ten cents. Cut an opening in
either side about three inches wide and
five inches deep, extending from the wire
rim at the top downward. Now cut a
board cover for the top of the pail and
the vessel is complete. Ii may be used
for either a food hopper or a water-pail.
It is alright to add a little barley to
the grain ration, but it should be fed
sparingIy as it is very hard food to digest
and often makes trouble for the breeder.
Common field peas make a good addi-
tion TO the grain rations. They are ex.
cellent in promoting egg production.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. | have large amount OF carrots.
Will it be well for me to feed them to my
hens2
A. Yes, 10 small quantities. Carrots
are form of green food, and while not
the best, they can be fed with profit. 1t
is claimed that carrots will improve the
color of the yolk of the egg.
Q. l have a very valuable rooster that
IS suffering from scaley legs. What must
l use to remove the infection?
A. There are many preparations that
will remove the scales. but one Of the
best is gas tar. One application is usually
sufficient to clean up the legs of the fowl.
If you are unable to get the gas tar, then
apply carbOlated vaseine. 1t may be
necessary to use several applications of
the latter, but it will do the work.
