Making Tin.

The tin of trade is not pure, but has
IN it little iron. lead or arsenic Tin
Is metal of chemistry. Its principal
ore is called tin stone or tin oxide and
Is made up of tin and oxygen. To OBJ
tain the tin the ore is heated in fur
naces with charcoal The carbon of
the charcoal unites with the oxygen Of
the ore. forming carbonic acid gas,
which passes off into the air, leaving
the tin, which melts and is drawn off
and cooled in iron molds. This is called
block tin. Tin ore is chiefly found in
Cornwall, England; Banca, in Dutch
East Indies; Malacca and Queensland
and New South Wales, in Australia.
Tin was used by the ancients. The
Phoenicians obtained most Of their tin
from the British isles. When the Ro-
mans conquered Britain they worked
the tin mines in Cornwall by means of
IlaxeS.

hatch some late chickens. The space
he takes up might better be used by a
laying hen. 1t is not strict economy
to feed him while getting no returns
from him. And what is most import
ant, the eggs laid by flock in which
no male bird is kept, are of better
quality. They will keep longer especi-
ally in warm weather.
All who have ever operated an in
cubator know that the infertile eggs
will come out of the machine on the
fifth or seventh day apparently per-
fectly fresh. Furthermore, most in
cubator operators keep these infertile
eggs until the machine matches and
then boil them up for feeding the
young chicks This, to my mind, is
rather good proof of their keeping
qualities.
If you can't get rid of your rooster"
in any other way, boil him and make a
meal of him. If he is especially valu-
able as breeder, fix him small run
away from the hens Keep him out
of the flock if possible.
