Small Animals Used In Testing
and Standardizing Serums
and Antitoxins.
VALUABLE HELP TO SCIENCr
Immature Animals Weighing About
Nine Ounces Are Required for
Medical Research Work-some
Hints on Raising Them.

Guinea pigs are 1T for any table and
are receiving attention now In connec
ton with the utilization of every means
OF increasing food supplies. There Is
another wartime use, however, that
perhaps appeals more to the lmagina-
ton. This Is In medical research, es-
pccially In testing and s%tandardlzlng
a%ntltoxlns aud serums. Such medical
research work has been much enlarged,
and hns greatly Increased In impOr-
tnnce since Americas entry into the
world war.
The guinea pig, In being made to
help In the testing OF serums and anti
toxins, confers II direct benefit upon
the American soldier. Therefore, the
guinea pig Is doing his bit and persons
who enter the Industry Of raising
guinea pigs likewise help TO meet n
wartime need.
In medical research immature ami
mails weighing 80 grains (nearly nine
ounces) are required. This weight Is
attained In about six weeks. In past
yenrs the average price OF n guinea pig
has been about 70 cents. but reports
have been received recently OF lnborn-
tories paying from 81 to $1.5O because
Of the scarcity of suitable stock. Per
ions fayornbly situated near cities or
institutions requiring large numbers OF
guinea pigs may establish n profitable
business In supplying them. They
should remember, however, that ami
RMS previously used for serum or an
titoxin tests, or the offspring Of guinea
pigs thai have survived such tests, may
be unfit for laboratory experiments.
Guinea Pigs as Food.
Guinea pigs are seldom eaten In the
United States, but their near relation
sh,r to rabbits and the fnct that they
are wholly vegetarian In habits may
reassure anyone entertaining doubts
an to their fitness for the table. The
small size Of the domestic species Ii
the chief cause for lis neglect as n food
animal, yet other highly esteemed
riurt animals furnish less meat than
a guinea pig.
The Peruvian method ~ dressing the
guinea pig for cooking Is the one gem
orally adopted. The animal Is killed
by dislocnting its neck, after which II
goes through about the same process
as n sucking pig In preparation for
cooking. Its throat Is cut, II Is hung
~ for n few minutes to bleed and is
then scnlded In water that Mt first Ia
not too hot. The hair Is removed, the
skin scrnped with Il knife. the entralls
taken out and the carcass washed In
i'nld wnter. II Is then ready for tho
cook. The pcruyians usually roast the
o. mails, hut the number OF possible
Why's Of cooking them Is unlimited. 4

BREEDING GUINEA PIGS

Guinea pigs breed at a very
early age, but their capacity fer
reproduction has been greatly
exaggerated and n mistaken no
tion has become fixed In the
minds OF many people.
Ordinarily five filters may be
expected IN II year. averaging
about three young each. The
first litter produced by n female
usually consists OF but one or
two. Subsequent ones are com
monty larger, but they rarely
number more than Ave or six. A
female In her breeding prime
may be expected to raise about
II to 10 young each year.

tending it's work already established
in thirty-four camps, by sending
books to the men lover there" With
several hundred thousand books In
it's free circulating camp libraries
and branches, it needs many thou

books which will not come to 1t
through gifts. and for purchasing
great quantities of books in England
for our troops in France, to save
transportation across the ocean
During the week OF March 10, a
great outpouring Of books from pri-
vate collections will supply the books
needed to extend the humaniEins
work of the library war service, TO
the constantly increasing number OF
men under arms; to furnish books
and magazines to the sailors on naval
vessels at home and In foreign
waters: and to place books on trans
ports for the men going abroad.
Generous owners of private collec-
ttons of books are asked to take such
Of their volumes as they would like
to give for the use OF soldiers and
sailors to tho public library, marked

taken care of by trained library work
