Vegetables of some kind should be

Poultry droppings are possibly not

When the mornings are cold, take
the chill off the drinking water, but do
not make it warm.
Where feather eating is practiced,
try giving the fowls some sulphur, one

The incubator lamp should be filled

Green bones dropped into the range

During the year swork was resumed

for provision for the crossing of Hol-

states that it has been demonstrated

For the development of satisfac-

Superstition and Bees.

Bees are connected with various
superstitions. 1t is considered unlucky
when an unclaimed swarm of bees set
ties on ones premises. Bees are sup
posed not to thrive if they are the
subject of quarrel. Perhaps the
most interesting superstition about
bees is the custom of telling the bees
of death in the family. In early
England, when a member of the fam
lily died, the bees were told of it and
invited TO the funeral; sometimes a
piece of Grape was put on the hive.
This custom has not died out entirely

Marvellous Strength Shown
BY insects in Proportion
To Their Size Explained

An insect measuring pa inches can
nearly IA pounds. Increasing the
weight by One-half, the insect can con
tinue TO drag its load few more
PAGES. In other words, it can drag 40
times it's own weight.
One leg of this same insect when at
tached to a dynamometer, was able to
move a weight of half a pound. If
man weighing 125 pounds were to per-
form the equivalent of this feat he
would have to lift 1850 pounds with
one hand.
Another insect of the Hercules" va
riety, weighing three ounces was able
to support on it's back brick weighing
over a pound. A human being, if sub
jected to prOportiOnate weight, would
be crushed.
The ordinary househy can lift a
match between two of Its feet and
carry it. A human being, to perform
similar feat, would have to lift
beam SA yards in length and 16 inches
thick
What is the secret of this marvellous
strength of creatures so tiny and de-
fenseless that one can kill them with
one finger?
Prof A. Schmidt points out that
gravity and atmospheric pressure have
everything to do with it. Also, in or
der to compare the weights drawn by
different animals, it is necessary to re-
duce the weight carried to the same
thickness as the animals muscles. But

ten times the size of an insect should
be able to carry 100 times as heavy
load, owing TO the relative size Of the
muscles. But instead of carrying
heavier load they carry a much smaller

This is because the animal ten times
