and to step lightly is the bird to select
for sitting.
Older fowls usually make better sit
tiers thea Iul,eis for the same reason
that the heav er breeds are more de-
pendable than the Mediterranean varie-
ties. The younger fowls are naturally
more high strung temperamentally and
more unsophisticated.
Some hens are quiet and docile and

them they will remain OIL the nest with
the greatest fortitude and determine

will take flight at the approach of the

are not to be intrusted with eggs. They
will make poor work of Matching, and
later they will be found incompetent to
manage a brood of chicks.

The Monster 10 a Victim of His Own
Greedy Appetite.

The Monster 10 a Victim of His Own
Greedy Appetite.
The python's weak point is its stom-
ach; it is a glutton. Not satisfied with
a full supper, 1t will start at once on
next weeks breakfast If by chance
that future meal happens to be within
easy reach.
A python generally lives in hole in
the ground or a hollow In a tree, but
IL 1t can find an old ruin in the jungle
and there are many old ruins in In
dat likes to take up its sleeping
quarters there, because even in the
heaviest rains the water runs OF the
ruins quickly, whereas hole in the
ground is likely to be flooded. The
python needs to eat only once week,
and to get that meal it lies fiat along
the bough of tree near stream ana
waits for its prey to come to drink.
When the natives see the long trail
that the python's body makes near the
bank and find heap of ruins near by
they make a hole in the ruined wall
just exactly big enough for the python
to get through. Then they tie pig to
a stake near the hole on one side OF
the wall, and on the other side of the
wall opposite the hole they tie another
pig to a stake. They also tie wire
to the leg or the tail of the near side
pig, and as evening draws on they
twist it from a distance. and the pig
squeals. AS the python comes home
to bed it hears the squeals.
So the python comes along merriiy
and seizes its supper at single bite.
Down goes the pig into the big snakes
throat, sucked in slowly by sheer mus
cular action. In about half an hour
the pig has passed completely down
the long neck, and in another half
hour it is down couple of yards far
Their into the python's stomach.
Most animals would go TO sleep right
away after gorge like that. But
meanwhile the second pig on the other
side of the wall has realized its unhap-
py brothers woeful fate and has set
up a most distressing noise. The py-
thon puts its head through the hole
and sees IT.
"Ahr' it says to itself. Heres my
next weeks breakfast"
And instead Of waiting for next
week to come that greedy python swal-
lows the second pig too. The willy ma
tives wait until the second pig is well
on its way down the python's body;
then they have the snake caught. Pig
No. / prevents 1t from advancing. and
pig No 2 prevents it from retreating.
The natives lasso the python around
the neck. break down the wall and
pass a coil Of rope between the two
Jumps of pig before they can amalga-
mate. Then they bear away the py-
thon to captivity.-"Wonders of the
Jungle"

carbolic acid or tincture Of iodine In

Healthy Chicks Arc Lively.

Both hover and run must be kept
clean, and frequent disinfecting will
control disease. Short, dry litter in the
hover for keeping the chicks feet dry
and warm and for absorbing excreta,
and in the run for scratching purposes,
should be supplied fresh every day.
The chicks as they grow older will
scratch the short litter vigorously and
throw it in piles and in every direction,
but that Is a part of their business for
developing strong bodies for efficient
maturity. When chicks are inclined
not to run or fly or scratch something
is the matter. Much activity is sign
OF healthy conditions.

Handling Chick. at Niaht.

Chicks should be allowed to harden
for forty-eight hours or little longer
before being transferred from incuba-
tor to brooder and should be trans
ferred at night. They will then not
wander away from the heat and be-
come chilled. as they are liable to do In
daylight. By morning they will have
become accustomed to the location of
the source of heat so that they will re-
turn to it involuntarily when cold.

CURING TIRED FEET.
u Way to Strengthen the Muscles ar
pravan< Ealilno Archaa

u Way to Strengthen the Muscles and
Prevent Falling Arches.
This Is the age Of tired feet. It Ia
also the age Of pavements. And tired
feet are largely the result Of walking
On hard pavements. Yet, curiously
enough. pavements were invented pri-
marily to enable man to move about
on his feet more comfortably.
The outer side of the foot is Of strong
O. construction than the inner and
win remain 80 even with prolonged
usage on hard pavements II the foot Is
kept In a proper position while walk
ing. But the out toeing position takes
the strain OF the outer portions Of the
foot, and thus the muscles are weaken
ed eventually through lack Of natural
exercise. The best way to correct this
and ut the same time correct the ten
dency to falling arches is by cuitivat-
ting thu habit Of walking and standing
with the feet held parallel. This is
particularly helpful to persons who are
obliged to stand for prolonged periods
at their work.
In addition there are two simple ex-
ercises which will strengthen the foot
muscles and ward off the tendency to
fatigue If practiced for few moments
each day. One of these consists in toe
ing in as much as possible-walking
club footed-and walking about the
room for one minute several times each
day. This position puts the strain on
the muscles Of the outside Of the foot,
thus toning them up and strengthening
them. The strain viii be apparent to
any one the first time he tries this ex-
aggerated form Of pigeon toed locomo-
tfon. But the ultimate result will be q
pronounced Strengthening and straight
eAing Of the feet, with tendency to
assume unconsciously a natural posi-
tion In walking and standing.
The second exercise consists In
throwing the weight Of the body on to
the outside Of the feet by standing
With the legs crossed and the feet held
parallel This position should be as
sumed for several minutes each day
and fs often found very restful to per
sons obliged to stand In cramped quar-
tiers. By bending the knees and walk
ing about the room with the feet still
In this position, alternating with first
enc foot and then the other In the lead,
tho outside foot muscles may be
strengthened very rapidly.
II either one or both of these exer-
cises are practiced for one minute Pc
RODS three or four times each day the
foot muscles win be toned up to resist
fatigue and the tendency to falling
arches that follows almost invariably.

ton.

tiers, and when be reaches eighteen he
comes to the United States TO study for
three or four years I'm an American uni
versity or In some branch OF business
or industry which will At him to take
