PLANT OF PECULIAR SHAPE
Strange Vegetable That Grows in Peru
Bears Close Resemblance to
Sheep.

A curious plant growing in Peru is
known to the natives as "Yareta'' or
vegetable sheep" 1t grows abundant
ly among rocks at high attitudes along
the Andes of Bolivia and Peru, where
1t constitutes n conspicuous feature in
the landscape because of its peculiar
manner of developing the so-called
"polster," or cushion formation.
The "yareta" forms hillocks or small
mounds often three feet high and
sometimes several feet in diameter.
Moreover entire mound is made up
OLA sir pl;Hs, cot Of colony of
individuals, and it attains this enor-
nous size and extreme compartness by
a process of repeated branching, so
that the ultimate branches are closely
crowded and the outer surface is con-
tinuous.
The flowers of the 'yareta" are very
thin, only about One-eighth of an inch
long, and are borne in small clusters
near the tips of the branches. The
fruit resembles a miniature caraway
seed. The natives use the plant as
fuel.-Popular Science Monthly.

Safety First.

A portly, middle-aged woman was
watching some circus artists who were
performing daringly upon a rapidly
swinging trapeze. A large net de-
signed to prevent injury if the act
should miscarry was suspended over
the stage beneath them, and this
seemed to share her interest with the
acrobats. After they had been at
work for several minutes, she called
an usher, says the Lustige Batter,
and asked:
us it true that no harm would be
done if they should fall from the
trapezeW
Eyes, madam; that's why the net is
spread under them"
'Where can buy such a metz"
Surely, my dear madam, you don't
want to perform on trapeze," said
the usher, astonished at this question.
ut isn't for me. I have a nephew
in the aviation service and I would
like to send him such a net to hang
under his machine. 1t would save him
IL any accident should happen"

Poultry Pointers
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

An old brush is q good thing with
which to apply liquid mite killer to
roosts and nearby woodwork.
Be careful that the growing chicks
do not crowd in their coops as they
become larger and need more room.
It is wise to scald all feed and drink
dishes every few days with boiling
water to kill the germs that collect
there before they (the germs) have
chance to attack the fowls.
Don't let the drinking water for the
| fowls and chicks stand around and
become hot and filthy, but give new
supply frequently during the day,
cleaning out the water dish each time
Feed three times day and no
more, but add rolled oats to the chick
feed twice a day or stale bread
crumbs or cornbread will do If there
are no rolled oats on hand.
It is not economy to feed young or
old stock on one grain, for variety
will produce better results from a
smaller amount of feed.
Feed sour milk or beer scraps &c
help build muscle, feathers and bone
one per cent of bonemeal should also
| be included in the ration.
If there is no natural shade for the
chicks, block up the coops so that the
chicks can get under them, or build
shelter tents, or in some way provide
artificial shade.
Careful breeding, proper feeding,
| and the right kind of care, will pro-
duce heavy laying in any breed OF
fowls.
The first chick feed should be dry
mixture of cracked grains. Cracked
corn, wheat, kafir, and pin-head oats
are all good.
