MEETING FOR
MONDAY NIGHT
Poultry Improvement Club
Getting Busy As Time
Draws Near.
MRS. GRAVES STARTS FEB. Is
To Organize The Poultry
Clubs Throughout The
County.
MRS. GRAVES STARTS FEB. Is

The regular monthly meeting of the
Christian County Poultry Improve
Association will be held on Monday
night February 9TH, atthe H. B. NJ. A.
Several matters of information will
come up for discussion. Among
which will be the working out of
plans for the Boys and Girls Clubs
and the matter of securing eggs, not
only for the club work but for all
who contemplate breeding White
Wyandottes in the county.
At this time there seems to be
scarcity Of eggs and stock in the
country, nearly all breeders reporting
few eggs to sell. The breed is be-
coming so popular that eggs and
stock are being booked for shipment
by breeders up to their capacity.
The opinion of the poultry breeders
over the country is that in a very few
years White Wyandottes will head
the list in popularity for they do well
in the Northern states and in the
Southern states.
DR.. Raymond Pearl, biologist of the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton at Orono, Maine, who has had
wide experience with the White Wy
andotte says: ''The White Wyandotte
| look upon as one of the substantial,
permanent sorts of poultry, the value
of which for all-round utility purposes
is unsurpassed. 1t has a very wide
adapability as to climatic conditions,
giving a good account of itself wher-
ever placed. In a cold climate such
as we have here in Maine the White
Wyandotte make splendid winter egg
producers, when properly bred and
cared for. Useful comparative
studies which have made of the egg
production of different parts of the
world have shown that the White
Wyandottes stand in a leading place
in this respect in comparison with
other American breeds"
D. j, Taylor, Field Agent in Poul-
try Husbandry Georgia State College,
at Athens, Georgia, is also a White
Wyandotte enthusiast.
Mr.. Taylor says: "The White
Wyandotte is one of the breeds OF
chickens we have recommended to
the farmers of this state. We recon-
mended this breed of chickens be-
cause we felt it would come as close
to filling the needs of the farmer as
any other breed. What the farmer
wants is chicken that is first of all a
good layer, layer not only in the
spring but in the fall and winter.
Secondly, the farmer wants a chicken
that is good mother and a good
setter, this requirement the White
Wyandotte fills to the satisfaction of
all. The farmers of this state want a
chicken that is good fryer at an
early age and the White Wyandotte
again is here with the goods. Few
farmers, however, are raising White
Wyandottes because they cannot get
the eggs to make start.

CUNNING OF THE BAB00N.
He Is a Treacherous Creature and
Makes a Clever Thief.

However hard up I might be for
food, a traveller writes to Youths
Companion, I should never shoot
monkey or a baboon. | never yet
met a man in Africa-hunter, trad
er or prospector-who would inten-
tionallv kill one.
Occasionally you come across
tourist who will take shot at one
for sport, just as you will come
across a cockney who would take a
shot at barnyard duck, but the
man in Africa who makes a prac-
tice of killing monkeys is unknown.
If YOU have ever heard a wounded
baboon crying or heard a female
baboon wailing over sick or dying
baby YOU will understand why.
A baboon is fairly easy to train,
but you cannot trust him. l do not
think real affection between hu-
man being and a baboon has ever
existed. You may have one for
years, yet you can never touch him
without fear of a bite or scratch.
Baboons know too much. 1 think
they know something we do not
know they know and look on us as
rather soft"
In the Transvaal war, when I was
with Kitchener's fighting scouts, we
had an old baboon called Malan,
which kept with us during the
whole campaign. He belonged to
no one, had no regular keeper and
ran loose just as he pleased.
Talk about a thief! I think
Malan knew every trick Of any pick
pocket or sneak thief in existence.
No one ever noticed him stealing.
He would watch a tent for hours,
and the moment it was empty some
thing would disappear.
Poor Malan was a hero, too-if
just getting in the way of bullet
constitutes bravery. Anyway, bull
let smashed his forearm, and he ap-
peared in the casualty lists just like
an ordinary soldier: 'EMalan-Frac-
tured forearm; condition faVora-
bie."
But if you could have seen the
look on his face while that arm was
in splints! No human being who
ever lived was so sorry for himself
as poor Malan. He simply craved
pity-simply begged it with his eyes
and every other part Of him: He
looked so abjectly sorrowful that it
was impossible to keep from laugh
ing at him.

His Sea Girt Tomb.

Francois Rene, Vicomte de Cha
teanbriand, some twenty years be-
fore his death, writing to the mayor
of St. Malo, his native town, made
the request that the town would
grant him on the west point of the
rock of Grand bay space sufficient
for his burial. To this island rock,
accessible only at low tide, the body
of the great French litterateur was
brought at his death. A granite
cross marks the spot. At high tide
the rock becomes an island, and the
waves of the Atlantic beat against
this lonely grave.

Zoroaster.

All classical antiquity, without a
dissenting voice, speaks Of Zorro
aster as historical person. But
there is great diversity of opinion
with regard to his time, the date OF
his birth being placed all the way
from 5000 B. c. to 800 B. c. He
probably lived about 400 B. c.
From all accounts the father of the
old Persian faith possessed a most
beautiful character and gave the
world many of its finest teachings.
There is no doubt that in the Per
sian Scriptures, known as the Zend
Avesta, we have the substance of
Zoroaster's teachings, though, OF
course, they have been greatly add
ed to. In the present day Parsees
of Bombay We have the historical
descendants of Zoroaster and his
followers.-New York American.
