There is an extensive trout hatchery
at Achibal, one of the gardens and
palaces built by the romantic Emperor
Jehangir, to shelter his beautiful be-
loved, Muir Mahal. As soon as the baby
trout are old enough they are put into
the streams inside the garden, and
when they have reached more sedate
age they are turned out of paradise
TO chance their fate in the big river.
Fishing permits are hard to come by.
and the angler is only allowed to catcl.
very limited number of fish.
The eight springs which feed the
Achibal river are among the wonders
of kashmir; there are four outside
the imperial garden and four within.
The water from these springs goes
out into all the countryside bringing
verdure and happiness in its train, 1t
is most fascinating to watch the water
bubbling ups mysteriously from thS
heart of the rock. Crystal c,ear IL
energies, moves for while la quiet
eddy, then hurls itself down the wa

u
sense of envy in the onlocser.
Kashmir is an enchSntress with
gifts for all. The artjst finds il an
Elysian dwelling place, and cannot de-
eide whether dawn or sunset gives him
the more exquisite moments. When
spring comes with its wealth of wild
flowers, he thinks nothing could con.
tent him more, till the hand of autumn
touches the great chenar trees with
glory of gold and crimson. The archie
ologist can explore innumerable
shrines and temples. The great ruin
of Martund alone might occupy him
many a Gay. How did this noble CON
ception of a temple, with its elegant
and restrained austerity, come to be
built on lonely Indian plain? Why
are the tluted pillars of the colonnades
so entirely Greek in design? Why
does the massive central temple re-
mind us of an Egyptian pylon?
Fine Place for Sportsmen.

after all, exceptional people, and kash-
mir is mostly remembered as the hap

1t is easy to arrange a shoot from

Oldest Lighthouse.

The celebration by the United States
government and the Boston chamber
of commerce of the two hundredth an
niversary of the first use of Boston
light calls public attention to the old
est lighthouse in the United States.
From 1916 to 1716 may seem a long
way back, but what are a mere 200
years compared with the centuries that
thought must cross to reach the oldest
lighthouse in the world? This belonged
to the fifth century Il. c., and was men
toned by one of the Greek poets, who
located it in the Troad. It's most IA
nous successor was the lighthouse of
Egypt, built in the first century b. c.,
and classed as one of the seven Won
ders of the world. 1t was called the
Pharos, because located on an island
of that name in Alexandria bay.
Though finally destroyed in the thir-
teenth century, it still survives in the
word of ''pharology. Christian

the whole grain feed. The scratch ma.
terial should be changed every ten or
twelve days as 1t will become foul and
breed disease.
Green Feed Needed.
Grass, grit, bugs and grains are the
summer food for the hens. These in.
gradients should be supplied in the
winter when hens cannot range. The
green food can be given in form of al.
falfa leaves, turnips, cabbage, beets
and sprouted oats. The commercial
grit and oyster shells may be pur.
chased at nominal price from the
poultry dealer. In order to have o
meat diet one can purchase the meat
scraps or beef meal and blood meal
from the poultry man In the city or
town. A mixture of two-thirds corn
and One-third wheat is a good grain
feed for winter time. This furnishes
a variety of grains and is appreciated
by the flock.
1t is best to keep the hens in the
house until the frosts are off the
ground. About ten o'clock is good
time to open the door and let them
out when the sun is shining bright.
If snow is on the ground keep the hens
inside the house. A hen will not lay
that must stand around in the cold
snow.g
My experience has proved that it is
wise to keep dry mash before the
hens at all times. In self-feeder put
a mixture of two-thirds bran, one
sixth corn chops and one-sixth dry
beef scraps. Here the hens can get
their fill and have plenty of food for
egg making. Give cold water that is
just drawn from the well and be sure
to keep water vessels perfectly clean.

Pneumatic Crutch.

crutch that shall not press pain
fully upon the armpit has been de-
vised by II. G. Pierce, a London engi-
neer, and is in effective use in at least
one of the British Red Cross hospitals.
AS the Lancet describes it, it is a
pair of ordinary clutches from which
the tops have been removed and a new
top made.
This consists of cross-piece of bass
wood with two upright ends, between
which is a piece of rubber tube with
its ends closed by wooden disks. Part
of an inner tire is used for this and it
is covered with canvas fire hose to pre-
vent it from stretching To this is at

Diarrhea, Indigestion and Liver Trou-
bles Caused by Overlooking or
Poorly-Balanced Ration.

Overlooking or a poorly-balanced ra-
ton causes diarrhea, indigestion and
liver troubles in the chicken flock. A
diet that is practically all of one thing
may often be responsible. There may
be an overlooking of corn which causes
the bird to become too fat and In that
condition they are unable to throw off
the germs.
Diarrhea is caused by too much an
imal food. Lack of this, entirely, is
also just as dangerous. The happy
medium should be struck in all-feed-
ing. The ration that contains no green
feed is almost as detrimental to the
hen as all grain and no hay would be
for the dairy COW.
Green material of some sort is need
ed for health and egg production. Liv,
er trouble results, usually, from too
much food of fattening nature.

" VEN to think of the quiet rivers
- and lakes of Kashmir revives
such a memoried atmosphere
of serenity that for time the
roar and crash of London fades into
silence. Who can forget the dramatic
moment when the dust and clatter of
the high-road leading into Kashmir is
changed for the leisurely calm of the
Jhelum river and the safe asylum of
houseboat? To know that the near

The human life on the river claims
the interest of the traveller equally
with the scenery. The whole popula-
ton seem to live on or by the Jhelum,
and though they spend many hours
bathing, the result, as far as cleanliness
goes, is exceedingly disappointing. The
kashmiri women, however, are ve.y
beautiful, in spite of the dirt which
wraps them round. They work along
side their menkind, padding, polling or
towing the boats, and often, in addi-
ton to doing mans work, they hold
the last born baby in their arms. They
do not look bashful or timid like the
women of southern India, for their men
seem to grant them a rough equality.
The river, being the sole channel for
commercial transport, is crowded with
boats laden with the produce of the
country, more especially maize. All

For winter layers the eight-month-old
pullets and the yearling hens are the
best of the flock. The pullet that has
been stunted Is defective, or unhealthy,
should be removed from the flock. Also
the hens that lack in vigor should be
culled out. All hens more than year
old should be sent to market. The 9TH
ers will be compelled to board them
IT left In the laying pen. They will not
pay for their keep in most instances.
The long-legged, narrow-breasted
and flat-bodied pullets will not be
good layers. A pullet that more than
pays her way must be built close to
the ground with good craw capacity
and have thick body, giving plenty
of room to the vital organs.
The early-hatched pullet should be-
gin to lay in October and by the first
of the year she should be doing her
best. The pullet that does not begin
to lay before cold weather generally
delays the matter until spring opens.
However, the pullets that are prop
erly housed and put on an egg-laying
diet will begin before the month of
October has passed.
The aim of poultrymen should be to
produce as near as possible summer
conditions for his winter layers. This
demands a comfortable house, one

SPROUTED OATS FOR LAYERS
Should Be Fed When Shoots Are Not
over One-Half Inch in Length
Other Good Feeds.

Sprouted oats are good for laying
hens and should be fed when the
shoots are not over one-half inch In
length.
Tender, juicy green stuff should be
fed, such as beets, cabbage, green clo-
yer or other succulent food, but it is
unwise to feed green food in a frozen
condition to laying hens; skim milk,
buttermilk, dried milk and dry ground
bone are also good for the protein in
them, although they do not have much
fat.
Feather eating is caused by a short
age of animal food such as meat, bugs
and insects.
