FEEDING SCRAPS
TOTHE CHICKENS

BY feeding kitchen scraps to poul-
try the last bit of wfSte of human food
may be converted into good fresh eggs
or meat, as may. be desired, says the
L. S. Department of Agriculture.
Fowls will eat all the leavings that
are in edible form. By special prep
aration some things not adapted to
human consumption become valuable
feed for poultry Fresh bones, crush
ed or ground, are a delicacy for them.
They will eat considerable amounts of
the parings of all kinds of vegetables
if these are given in such form that
the birds can swallow them readily.
Many poultry keepers save parings,
cook them with small potatoes and
other waste vegetables, and fed mixed
with meals.
Not all kitchen waste, however,
makes poultry fed. The skins of
bananas, oranges and lemons are not
edible and should not be mixed with
scraps that are to be fed TO poultry,
for the birds leave such stuff, and as

where the they are fed look slovenly.
Coffee grounds, and tea leaves in small
quantities are not Objectionable, but
in large quantities should be disposed
of separately. Fat meat in large places
should not be put with scraps for poul-
try because hen can swallow much
larger piece of fat than is good for
her. BY cutting waste fat in pieces

PROLIFIC CAUSE OF CANCER
in Taking Too Hot Foods Into
the Stomach.

DR.. William J. Mayo of Rochester,
Mimi, now major in the United States
army, says that 80 per cent of all can
GERS of civilized man are in the stom-
ach, and this condition is uncommon
among primitive men and animals. He
believes that many such cancers are
caused by chronic liberation of the
stomach.
Doctor Mayo told the national ses-
sion of the Clinical Congress of Sur
geons of North America that men had
cancer of the stomach more frequent
ly than women because man is in the
habit of taking his food hotter than
the average woman takes hers. Wom-
an sits at the foot of the table and
pourS the tea and coffee, serving the
men of the household first and drink
ing hers after it has cooled somewhat.
Among the Chinese the same rule
holds good of eating rice, for the wom-
en- eat at the second table.
Doctor Mayo said food and drink
should not be taken into the stomach
hotter than can be borne comfortably
In the mouth, for the mouth has sensi-
tive nerves expressly to protect the
doorway to the body, while the stom-
ach has not.

Ace of Fishes.

The most striking characteristic by
which fishes of different ages can be
distinguished is their size. But the
size affords US only the means to esti-
mate tbs age Of younger eshes; as to
the oldey. 1t cannot serve ns as an in
dication of their age since their
growth may vary according to the diff
ferent conditions of nutrition, so that
often the younger fish will excel in
size the much older fish. There is,
however, at least as regards the fishes
of the Northern seas, sure indica-
ton that betrays their age. 1t is the
otolites, or ear stones. These ear
stones grow as long as the fish itself
continues to grow, and form annual
rings in the manner Of trees. The
more annual rings shown by tish's
ear stones the greater its age. In
this way the age of o fish can be ex.
setly determined,

cavite Flashes Time Over Pacific.

Since October 1 the radio station at
Cavite, cooperating with the Philip
pine bureau of posts and the Manila
observatory, has been sending out
time signals of the 12Oth meridian
east of Greenwich at IL a. m. and 10
p m. every day, says Science.
For the purpose of sending time sig
nails, the transmitting clock of the
Manila observatory is connected with
the Cavite wireless station through
the bureau of posts. Manila Observa-
tory time signals begin at 10:55 a. m.
and 9:55 p. m., standard time of the
120th meridian east of Greenwich, and
continue for five minutes. During this
interval every tick of the clock is
transmitted, except the 2Sth, 29th,
54th, 55th, seth, 57th, 5Sth and 59th
of each minute.
The situation of Manila in the Pa
cific makes this service of the great
