TELLS OF PREHISTORIC EGYPT
Lseturer at the British Museum De-
seribes Face Paint Found In
Ancient Graves.

Mr.. Handbook has Just delivered n
lecture on prehistoric Egypt at the
British museum, the first OF course
OF four lectures.
After a detailed discussion of the
dynastic Egyptians on the one hand
and the prehistoric aborigines on the
other. In the course OF which he
showed a large number OF ivory, slate.
bone and clay ngurinos recovered
from early Egyptian graves. together
with number OF skulls, he proceeded
20 examine some early ceremonial
slate palcttos, which are illustrative
OF the fauna OF the country at that
period. as well as Of the artists skill
These palettes were used for toilet
purposes, the malachite which was
used for face paint being ground upon
them, and Il is interesting TO note that
traces OF paint are still visible on
some OF thena.
They are of further importance, in
asmueh as they illustrate plctorially
the tradit Jna. conquest OF tho North
by The Sputh prior TO the uninoation
OF all Eaypt under one monarch. the
legendary Mona, one whose histori-
cal counterparts wc4ld appear 20 have
been Aha-Men.
The early predynastic Is. ptians
were Neolithic, and the fints OF their
workmanship are the finest wrought
flints in the world, but later on copper
came unto use.
The Semitic element in the Egyptian
language proves conclusivoly that
there was a Semitic element in the
blood OF the dynastic Egyptians, but
this fact does not seem to have much
bearing on the connection between
the early Egyptian and Babylonian
civilization as Illustrated by the use
OF cylinder seals and similar shaped
mace heads In both countries in the
very earliest times, for at the period
in question the Sumerians and not the
Somites were in all probability the
ruling factors in Babylonian civiliza.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Double yolked, poorly shelled, and
Informed eggs are from hens that
are too fat.
If you cannot dress poultry so it
looks good, better sell it alive, as it
will bring more.
Science says impure food fed to
poultry is the cause of many diseases
in man. Then, as poultrymen, we
should be careful what we feed our
poultry and the care we give it.
Chicken will eat everything, no
matter how filthy. See that nothing
impure is left within reach of them.
Give them all good wholesome food
and you will find them disdaining
filthy, strange food. 1t IS only birds
that are left to find what they can
that eat filthy food.
The Cornell system of feeding little
chicks for starter consists of follow
ing ration, mixed, s pounds rolled
oats; 8 pounds bread crumbs or cracker
waste; 2 pounds sifted beef scrap
(best grade), and 1 pound bone meal
(best grade). This is to be fed mOis-
tened with sweet skinned milk five
times per day. Fed mealy, not too
wet. Trays should be used, contain
ing as well finely ground clover, not
cut clover, and regulation chick grit
as well as charcoal. This is to be
fed from first to fifth day.
In recent article IN the Poultry
Advocate, Prof. James Dryden of the
Oregon Agricultural College, says
eff it is to be conceded that the cost
of maintaining a hen for one year is
$3.50, the necessity of securing better
than the average six-dozen-egg hen is
at once apparent. The yearly produc-
ton of such hen has an average
value of about $3.50. The yearly pro.
duction of good layer is about twice
that number; and most of the increase
represents clear profit"
