MEAT FOOD INCREASES EGGS
On Most Farms There ls Plenty OF
Skim Milk and No Better Plan
Than Feeding to FoWls.

In the poultry feeding experiment
made at the Purdue university it was
found that the addition Of some form
Of meat food to the ration increased
the egg production about 100 eggs per
pullet per year. This would mean
about 10000 eggs in farmers flock
of 100 hens. The income per bird in
the pen fed no meat food was 67 cents
The pen fed skim milk gave an in.
come of SITS, the highest in the ex.
pertinent, due to heavier winter egg
production.
Poultry raisers have long been ia
miliar with the schedule Of grains,
greens. grits and grubs," but farmers
as rule have paid too little attention
to the "grubs" part Of It. This expert
ment shows the importance Of provid'
ing a substitute for the bugs and
worms the fowls get during the sum
mer season when they are permitted
to range. On most farms there is
plenty Of skim milk and no better use
can be made Of 1t than to feed 1t tc
the chickens. Meat scrap and fish
scrap can be purchased II skim milk
is not available.

Old English Street Names.


Old street names in London often
assumed strange forms through pop
:alIar corruptions. Gutter lane, for in
stance, was named after It's owner,
who happened - be one Guthurun. A
,Magrant example was Hangman's
Gains, by the Tower, "a strange cor
rrption," as Strype tells us. for
Hammes and Guynes, where the poor
4radespeople Of Hammes and Guynes
were allotted to dwell after Calais and
those places were taken from the Eng
dfah." Many years ago, in Pentonville.
ahere was a Dobbin's place, and that
homely Dobhin's was but DAubigny
upon English tongues.
In some cases 1t Is possible to trans
1orm an ugly road name into some
Gfing quite pleasant, and even roman
fic, without much difficulty. There Is
Che steep road which runs up from
Parliament Hill Fields to Highgate. 1t
used to be known as Swine's lane. &C.
cnrding to local antiquarians. Now
adays the Cockney may pronounce it
much as before when he takes his
Sicket on the tram from Holborn. But
ahe spelling is different-Swain's Lane.

BEES ARE FARMERS FRIENDS
Without Little Hcney-Gatherers There
Would Be but Small Crop Of In
ferlor Fruit.

Do not spray the fruit trees while
in bloom, for that will kill the bees.
Many farmers do this every year,
when the bees are their best friends.
If 1t were not for the bees they
would get but little fruit, and that OF
very inferior quality. and yet they
will carelessly murder these little help
ers by the thousands.
Bees are valuable, and no man has a
right to put out poison and kill them.
1t is no advantage to spray the trees
when in bloom, and 1t is even better
to wait until the petals fall and spray
when there Is nothing to prevent the
poison going into the heart Of the
calyx before 1t closes.

Buffalo Burr.

Buffalo burr looks more dangerous
than it really is. 1t grows but one
year, and spreads only by seed. Those
OF our readers who find buffalo burr in
their feed lots will do well to cut it off
at the surface Of the ground before it
goes to seed. It has not become CON-
mon as yet in the corn belt, and the
chances are that it will not.

HOSPITAL IN HISTORY
INSTITUTIONS HAVE BEEN
KNOWN FROM EARLY TIMES.
Before the Christian Era the Care OF
the Afflicted Was Considered
Public Duty - Philadelphia
! Had First in America.

The first hospital established In
America was opened in Philadelphia
ON February Z, 1850. For nearly two
years Benjamin Franklin and other
influential men were working for th'
establishment of such an institut; l.
A charter was granted in May, Isl,
and the first board Of trustees was
elected the July following.
The day of the opening number of
patients were admitted who were reg
ularly attended and given their medi-
cine free. Joshua Crosby was the first
president and Benjamin Franklin the
first clerk.
The second hospital established was
in New York in 1771. From these ear
,ly beginnings there has now grown up
I'm the United States veritable forest
of hospitals. Every city, town and
village has it's duly appointed institu-
tions of this character, and the hos
pitals of the United States are now
acknowledged the most handsomely
and thoroughly equipped in the world,
and serve as models for European ar
chitects.
Hospitals were founded in very ear
1y times. India, Persia and Arabia
had hospitals supported by their kings
and rulers before the Christian
era. As far back as the earliest pc
Rod in Greek history the sick are
said to have been treated in the Tenn
pile of Aesculapius at Epidaurus.
In the early Jewish period house
for the reception Of the sick was
called Beth Holem. Such an institu-
fion was Beth Saida, mentioned in
the New Testament.
Military hospitals are Of compare
tiTely recent origin, born Of the needs
of warfare and the advance Of medi-
cal science and hygiene. In the Cri-
mean war of 1854 the French alone of
the allied powers possessed anything
approaching the equipment now COM
mon to all armies.
y The English wounded were carried
OF the field in rough-and-ready fash
aon, sailors hammocks being ultimate
~ utilized as rude substitute for the
French stretcher and ambulance.
! Surgeons attended the wounded on
the field, for whom there were little or
no after accommodations, until,
9purred by the publication Of Florence
Nightingale's description Of condi-
4ions, the English government appoint
ed Lord Merbert's commission, which
in more effective hospital
service.
1.-The hospital ship was established in
the early sixties, and shortly after
ward the United States hospital corps
was organized. The army nurse corps
which is an auxiliary branch Of the
medical department, was established
In accordance with an army bill passed
as recently as February 2, 1901.
Hospital Sunday is observed in the
United States on the last Sunday in
December, and in England the Sunday
nearest June Is, on which days the
collections in churches are devoted
20 the support of hospitals. The Gus
4om has been generally adopted since
1879. .s.,....sx:-

CARING FOR RASPBERRY TIPS
They Should Be Dug Up and Replanted
Keep Patch Clear Of Surplus
Plants and clumpo.

Dig up all the rooted raspberry
tips and replant them where you want
them, for they should not be allowed
to grow in the original patch to make
a thicket.
Keep it clean of surplus plants and
the old clumps will bear better and be
much more pleasant to work around.
Dewberries need the same care as
raspberr!es in this respect, though the
vines run to such lengths 1t is more
OF Q Job to keep them In place.

BUFFALO BURR is INJURIOUS
Grows Vigorously, Wlthstands Dry
Weather and Is Covered With
Spines on Stems.

Buffalo burr is a native Of western
Kansas and Nebraska, where it is
often found in alfalfa fields. The hay
shipped from those states often con-
tains buffalo burr seed, and in this
way it gets a start in feed lots. The
plant looks like it might be one Of the
very worst pests, for it grows vigor-
ously, withstands dry weather splen-
didly, and is covered with spines both
on the stems and on the burrs. The
