FREQUENCY OF FEED
FOR CHICKEN FLOCK
Fowls in Confinement Must Be
Given Good Attention.
Idle Birds Often Contract PernIcious
Habits, Such as Feather Pulling
and Egg Eatlne-oet Out
OF Condition.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Some poultrymen feed their focks
twice day, while others feed them
three times day. The best plan is to
feed fowls In confinement three times
a day and those having free range in
summer twice a day. When there is
very long interval between feeds it
is difficult to keep fowls busy which
are kept in confinement. Idle fowls
often contract bad habits, such as
feather pulling and egg eating, besides
going out Of condition from lack of
exercise.
In case 1t is not convenient to feed
three times day, the moistened mash
may be fed in the morning. and at
the same time the noon feed Of grain
may be scattered in the litter, which
will keep the fowls busy great part
Of the day.
For those who cannot conveniently
feed their fowls early In the morning

Doubtless the swiftest passage over
q long distance ever made by man was

972 minutes. That was at the rate Of

For Q much less distance slightly
higher speed was made by an army
airplane between Boston and New
York. me distance Of 175 miles was
made in g minutes. That was a mile
In 28.45 seconds. or moro than 1856
feet a second.
That Is rapid travelling. Il lie not,
however tho swiftiest aerial flight
known. A swallow could literally fly
round and round one Of those air
planes when the latter was at top
speed. Carefully conducted tests by a
French scientist have demonstrated
that the speed Of swallow In full
flight sometimes goes as high as 200
feet second, or at the rate Of mile
In ID seconds. while the ordinary flight
Of swallow. Is 210 feet second or
considerably faster than the airplane.

YOUNG ANIMALS NEED CARE
They Should Be Given Such Attention

Potato growers can prevent much of
the losses Of the new crop in transit
and in the markets by avoiding cutting
and bruising the tubers in the field
and by not allowing the potatoes to
remain exposed to the sun after dig
g1ng.
Careful grading will increase the
growers profits and will make a sure
and more constant market 1t is i'm
portant to keep the skin-the protect
ing cover of the potato-intact In
handling new potatoes this requires
great care. Cars should be loaded ac-
cording to definite plan, which pro-
vides for ventilation and prevents
shifting about and breakage of the
containers.
Keep skin Whole.
The majority of fungous diseases that
cause decay Of potatoes and other
vegetables can not develop when the
skin is free from cuts and bruises.
Careful handling is fundamental there
fore, for the prevention of deteriora.
ton and waste. In this respect prob.
ably no single factor is equal In Inn

field and none is more generally ig.
nored by the average grower or la
borer.

PROPER PRUNING OF GRAPES
Best to Cut Away Old Fruiting Canes
at or Near Where New Cane
Has Started.

In pruning grapes one should keep
In mind that the old wood that has
borne fruit once never bears again, that
the wood that is formed one season
produces the next season, and that If
all the new wood Is left on the
vines 1t will bear more clusters of
fruit than can properly develop. With
out regard to the system of training
followed, 1t has been found best to
cut away the old fruiting canes at or
near. the point where the new cane
started and cut away the laterals on
tho new cane.

MAY BE PHoEMclAN COINS
Recent Discovery Made In California
Has Given Archeologists Sons
Food for Thought

Examination by Prof. Oliver NJ
Washburn Of six coins discovered in
a canyon Of the foothills back Of
Berkeley, Cal, and described by him
as being of undoubted antiquity. has
stimulated the belief of archeolo-
gists that the ruins Of an ancient city
exist in that locality. Antiquarians Of
the University Of California, where
Professor Washburn is assistant in the
department of classical archaeology,
favor making excavations in an effort
to determine the existence OF impor-
Of this continent.
The coins were discovered by Ches-
ter X. Frost, an Oakland shipbuilder.
While on a trip he was digging In the
canyon when he uncovered mis-
shapen copper coin. He prosecuted
his work and was rewarded with five
pieces Of copper, unquestionably mint
ed by hand. according TO Professor
Washburn, and containing inscriptions
In Greek and Latin Two Of the coins
are blackened beyond recognition by
the action Of the elements. but through
their irregular shape and general mint
ing are described as antedating the
Oldest known Roman coins.
The coins are family embossed with
the facial contours of divinities or leg
endaries In tempered copper. Coin ex-
perts advance the opinion that the ma
terial used fixes remote period Of
manufacture, because. tempered copper
In coin manufacture is more or less a
forgotten art
One Of the coins Is about the size Of
a dime and bears certain resemblances
to early Phoenician money, which bore
the Characteristic esnbossing Of wom-
ans head.
One version advanced Is that the
Berkeley coins were brought to the
California coast by Phoenician colo
nists who preceded the early padres
