CHARCOAL.

The American Poultry Journal
Year Book for 1914 gives the follow
ing paragraph ON tho value of char
coal:
Charcoal is good for man, beast
or fowl, and is valuable for many
purposes. One cubic inch of fresh
charcoal will absorb nearly 100
inches of gaseous ammonia. Char
coal forms an unrivaled poultice for
malignant sores and wounds, often
corroding away dead flesh, reducing
it to one-quarter in six hours. In
cases of what we call proud flesh 1t
is invaluable. Charcoal laid fiat
while cold on a burn, causes the pain
to abate Immediately; by leaving it
on for an hour the wound seems
almost healed when the burn is SUI
perficial. Charcoal is valuable for
many other purposes. Tainted meat
with it is sweetened; foul
water is purified by it. 1t is great
and sweeters offensive
air II placed in shallow trays around
apartments. 1t is SO very porous in
it's minute interior it absorbs and
condenses gases most rapidly. 1t

Dodge Car Sells Itself.

Dodge Brothers motor cars sell

to G. A. Rose of the Rose-Nepple
Auto company, the local agents, who
points to recent experience of his
as bearing out this statement. The
other day when Rose started out in
the country to see prospect" a
local business man asked to go along
for the ride. After about 50-mile
drive through the rain and over some
of the worst roads in the county,
Rose sold his prospect" and came
back to town with his passenger, to
whom he had not talked business
throughout the trip. When the bust
ness man alighted from the car he
said to Rose: "Come over to the
store in the morning and I'll give you
an order for a car" He did, too.

Length of Time Required to Fertilize
ErUS

Length of Time Required to Fertilize
Eggs.
Population does not fertiliZe the
egg laid the same day. A study of
the ovaries teaches that the egg laid
today was covered with shell at least
II hours before being laid. That
meeting, however, should fertilize
series of eggs laid afterwards by the
hen, although it might be several
days before fertility in eggs would
be found Some authorities assert
that male actually fertilizes about
10 eggs at a time.
In fertility tests in Belgium, of Is
eggs laid Is days after the death of
the male three chicks Matched. Fur
Their tests showed that the hens laid
fortified eggs Is days after separa-
ton from the male bird. Unfertil-
lied hens produced fortified eggs
from two to four days after mating.
