NAN FIsHED FOR CHICKENS
AND He Caught Them With the Use
Of Corn Kernels and Trout
Hook.

Batting trout hook with kernels
OF corn, Louis Boyden of Springside
avenue tossed it out into his garden,
held the other end of the line, sat
down, smoked his pipe and waited
for bite.
One of Rebecca Rosenthal's Rhode
Island Red broilers on the other side
OF the dividing fence sighted the kerr
nels, hoped through a gap in the
fence and swallowed bait, hook and
line-there was no sinker. Boyden
hauled in his five-pound catch, be-
headed it in his woodshed, rebaited
the hook, cast again and soon had
another pullet.
Satisfied with his luck, Boyden
put away his tackle. But someone
who had watched his exploit told the
police. In court he pleaded nolo con-
tendere and was fined $3.50. This
would have been cheap enough for
TWO chickens, not counting the sport,
out the heartless police took them
away and returned them to their
rightful owner.-Pittsfeld (Mass.)

SHOULD BE WELL COOKED
Writer Points Out the Danger Of Eat
Ing Pork That 10 UNDERGONE In
the Slightest Degree.

Trichin@ are minute parasitic
worms which occur in rats, dogs
cats, hogs, and cause serious and
sometimes fatal disease, trichinosis.
In man. Rats found around slaugh.
fer houses are frequently infested,
and dogs OF hogs contract the para
sites from eating the rats. The au-
thor found a cat affected that was
kept at slaughter house to catch
the mice.
The practical aspect of this ques-
ton is the presence of these para
sites in pork and the danger to man.
1t is estimated by some authorities
that about l per cent of all hogs in
this country harbor trichina.
Man becomes infested by eating
pork which has not been thoroughly
cooked or cured. The mortality in
man ranges from 10 to 40 per cent.
These parasites are very minute, and
practical meat inspection does not
guarantee that the meat is free from
them: Since the parasites are read
lily killed by heat, safety lies solely
IN eating no pork that has not been
thoroughly cooked.-H. S. Eakins,
