A Wise Orange utang.

Prof. William T. Hornaday, the
noted animal preceptor, cites this in
stance of ape sagaclty:
Il once became quite chummy with
an unframed, Gagged, menagerie orang-
outang by the name of Dohong. He
was son of the jungle and intensely
concerned in matters that came into
his narrow life. All that he learned
outside of his inherited instincts he
learned himself. His cage contained
a number of horizontal bars attached
to brackets on which he took consid-
cradle solemn exercise. One day he
concluded that the bars ought to come
down. Bracing his feet against the
solid wall Of the cage, he pulled every
bar from its fastening and flung 1t on
the floor. Larger bars were substi-
tuted, which the ape vainly tried to
remove. After straining his back In
this futile effort, he walked up and
down in his cage and was apparently
intently studying the situation. Event
ually he procured the crossbar of his
trapeze and using it for lever, he
not only pried every horizontal bar
from its brackets, but he likewise
pried the iron bars of his cage apart
so that he could stick his head
through the opening and satisfy his
curiosity regarding his nelghbor in the
adjoining cage"

daily bringing before us the impor-
lance of food supply. Meat is a popu-
lar food because Of its flavor, due to
certain substances, called extractives.
These extractiyes are in no sense nutrI-
tious, but have stimulating effect
upon the, appetite and digestive or
gans, so that they are valuable aids in
the digestion of foods. Too much meat
eating, however, dulls the taste for
miider, less highly favored foods, as
candy spoils the appetite of the child
for plain bread and butter.
One reason for the popularity of
meats, such as steaks and chops, Is
that they may be cooked and served In
O few minutes. Meat being the main
dish, other things having secondary
Importance, helps to solve the every
day problem of what to have for din
ner.
If the purse Is ample there is no
reason why we should exclude meat
from our tables; but once a day for
dinner is often enough TO serve. In
many experiments carried on by stu
dents 1t has been shown that q de-
crease of meat to one-sixth Of the
usual amount has made an actual in
crease in their capacity for physical
endurance.
Our faith in the strengthening prop
erty Of meat has no doubt come down
to us from our ancestors who from
necessity lived largely on meat.
We know by observation and statis-
tics that the amount Of meat con-
sumed In our country is gradually be-
ing reduced and everybody concerned
is better in health for such restric-
lions.
The foods which may take the place
of meat supplying the body with all
that 1t needs to repair waste and give
heat and energy, are milk, eggs, cheese,
nuts and peas and beans. By using
these foods and cutting down the meat
allowance the health will be better
and the purse heavier.

FISHER BILL LOOKS BEATEN IN

aldermen on this. For their protec-

made to give the traction companies
a chance to raise their bids. There

delay because it would give them a
chance to reform their lines. l don't
think anything crooked will be
done"
Aid. No. 8: "The delay will give
the traction companies 20 hours in
which to work. A man can change
his mind They saw they were hope

they can get enough aldermen to
change their minds over night they
may be able to send the Fisher bills

KILL The UNHEALTHY CHICKS
Poultry Floeks Need Close Attention
When First Hatehes Come.

"one reason why there are un
profitable flocks OF chickens and a
cause OF much Of the poultry dis.
ease, is the fact that many weak
chicks are allowed to live" says
Harry Embleton, poultry specialist
for the Extension Division OF Okla
homa A. & NJ. College. These chicks
eat Just as much costly food and are
just as much Of an expense to take
care OF as strong chicks and yet they
never give any profit.
while II seems rather cruel treat
ment to do away with little chicks at
this age 1t Is really an act OF mercy
II the weak chick is allowed to live
1t will never be thrifty and will be
always moping around and a burden
TO itself. Profitable poultry manage
ment requires that these chicks be
culled out directly after they are
hatched.
Feeding Little Chicks.
DO not feed them until they are
sixty hours old.
Let their first feed be some very
fine sand or grit.
Keep sour milk before them all
the time from the time they are
hatched. This is very important in
keeping down white diarrhoea.
For the first few days feed some
hard-boiled eggs (boiled an hour
mixed with some rolled oats, corn
meal, cornbread or stale bread Feed
this four or hve times a day.
After the first few days, small
grains or a good commercial chick
feed should be fed in chan or litter,
morning, noon and night, so as TO
give the little fellows exercise. A
dry mash OF rolled oats and millrln
with fine meat scraps should be kept
in hopper before them all the time
Grit, cracked oyster she'll and sour
milk should be before them all the
time. Some form Of green food. a.
