Their Best Nest Egp

Hens prefer plaster of paris OF
wooden nest egg was the conclusion
reached in tests made at the Iowa
Experiment Station. Less than;
half as many eggs were laid in a
nest without any nest egg. The
glass nest egg was the least attrac-
tive to the hens. The hens also
laid more eggs in the secluded than
the exposed nest. 1t was also found
that one nest is needed for eacl,
four or five laying hens. 1t is
important that the nest be mad:
attractive to the hen or she viii
likely hunt a place of her own il
the barnyard or field to lay. The
nests should be whitewashed ont
or twice a year inside and out anc
the straw changed frequently.

Danger Feeding Flax Straw

Several cases of cattle being po-
isoned by eating green flax have
been reported to the North Dakota
Experiment Station. Mr.. j. w.
Ince made an investigation of flax
poisoning in 1913 and sums up his
findings as follows: GA careful
study of the data shows at once
the percentage of prussic acid in
that there is decided difference in
green and brown flax material. In
fact the basis of color can be used
as the simplest test for the possible
presence of this constituent. While
all flax substances undoubtedly
contain some of this poison, the
quantities present in ripened or
mature or bleached straw, chaff,
ETC., moderate quantities. On the
other hand the presence of prussic
acid in young and other green fax
samples is quite large and will un-
doubtedly cause death of cattle. +"
1t is good plan to feed small
quantities of flax straw at first to
determine if it is harmful.

How Deaf Mute, Feel Music,

According to teachers of deaf mutes
musical instruction is more important
as an educational factor for the deaf
child than 1t is for the hearing, says
the Popular Science Monthly.
The parts most sensitive to vibra.
tions are the chest, head, lungs and
feet. "An exciting feeling comes up
through the foor," is the way one deaf
boy describes it. "Without music ]
would be lonesome wrote little
Italian deaf mute. 1T gives me a
strong shock through the feet to the
head" stated another. Others, when
asked to explain their sensations, said;
II feel it in my temple and in my legs
Il feel it through my whole body" and
II feel 1t in my chest and lungs"
