Some pOultrymen claim to break up
the egg-eating habit in fowls by blow
ing an egg, then filling the shell with
mustard and cayenne pepper made into
thick paste with water. 1t is said
that this cures the taste for eggs.
When hens are crowded too closely

often give the germs to u dozen 9th

they will at once develop these germs
into disease.

is deposited there. In such cases it

French comrades-in.arms flocked to
the room for bit Of entertainment.
The barking Of the 75's used by the
Americans as the shells started for the
German lines could be heard plainly
within the hut. Nearby were dugouts
for shelter when the German shells
come too close for comfort.
Not many kilometers from this ad-

Great Wortham Shows stand pre-
eminent, bearing the same relation
TO the carnival world as Ringing
Bros. do to the circus world. Many
novelties never before seen are in
cluded In the roster OF the shows.
Among them may be mentioned the
Miracle show or the show beautiful.
In this show are featured the Misses
Georgette Parker and Billy Will
liams. A varied entertainment is pre-
sented In the opening with the dane
Ing and singing dolls, then the beau
tiful electric dance. poses, and end
Ing with Pymalion and Galatea or
the statue turning to life. Then an
other feature show is Wortham's q
Wild animal circus. The Wild animal
cirrus alone. in its tent 100 by $50
feet. Is an excellent attraction. The
group OF performing lions have
reached such state OF perfection
in training that their trainer puts
them through stunts that would
seem impossible to teach such
beasts, and clearly demonstrates the
supremacy OF man over the animal
kingdom. In the animal show Will
be seen also a complete menagerie
consisting OF strange Wild and do
nestle animals and birds which will
be found very interesting to the stu
dent OF animal husbandry.
