Washington You would hardly
think Of the United States department
of agriculture as an agency for hunt
ing down deSperadoes, but it is. That
the desperadoes happen TO be not men
but wild animals does not detract
either from the adventure or the value
of the work. Now and then a wild
animal becomes notorious for it's ex-
plOits in killing live stock. The in
SpectOrs of the bureau of biological
survey make special efforts to hunt
down and Kill such animals. A noun
tain lion that was known TO have de-
strOyed 81 600 worth of live stock in
one month was killed near Dubois,
WyO., few months ago That the
animal had eluded many private hunt
ers was shown by the number of scars
on the body. Another mountain lion
taken in April had killed seven colts
during the spring. In the same state
pair of wolves that had destroyed
81, 800 worth of live stock was killed,
the female by a government hunter
and the male by private hunter.

Minister Was Inventor of
First Percussion Lock for
Fire Arms; First Used 1925

The first percussion lock for fire.
arms was invented and patented In
1907 by the Rev. Alexander j. For
syth, Scottish clergyman. who was
born Dec. 2S, 176S. Firearms were first
made in Italy In the fourteenth CEN
tury, and were employed in war by the
Burgundians at Arras in 1414. These
first small arms were really small can
non. and were borne by two men. In
1471 Edward Nv. had 800, Flemings
armed with hand-guns In his army, and
a little later the Swiss armed 10000
men with arquebuses. The musket was
employed in the army of Emperor
Charles V. early In the sixteenth CEN
tury. These rude firearms were at first
discharged by the application of a
flaming torch. About 1917 the wheel
lock method came into use, and after
ward the flint was used. from 1892 un-
til the Scottish clergyman invented the
percussion principle Of igniting gun
powder in muskets. by means Of det-
onating powder. The flint-lock guns
were used by all the European armies
during the early period of the Napo-
leonic wars, and only few guns en-
bodying FOrsythes invention were In
use century ago.
Percussion caps were first generally
used about 1925.

DECIDING ON The
BREED OF FOWL

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
A small flock of hens can be kept
with profit by many city dwellers who
have back yard. Even as few as
eight or ten hens should produce eggs
enough, when used economically, for
family Of four or fve persons
throughout the year, except the mOlt-
ing period of the fall and early winter
HousehOlders usually desire not
only eggs for the table and for cook
ing. but also an occasional chicken to
eat For this reason one Of the gen.
eral-purpose breeds. such as Plymouth
Rock. Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red,
or Orpington, Is preferable to the
smaller egg breeds, such as the Leg
horns. Not only do the mature fowls
Of these breeds, because Of their large
size. make better table fowls than the
Leghorns, but the young chickens for
the same reason make better fryers
and roasters, whereas chickens Of the
egg breeds are suitable only for the
smaller broilers.
The general-purpose breeds are also
"broody" breeds, the hens making
good sitters and mothers. which is
decided advantage when II Is desired
to hatch and raise chickens. since the
hens OF the egg breeds seldom go
broody and are In any event rather
unreliable sitters and mothers. If,
however. the production of eggs out
weighs the desire for an occasional
table fowl. the lighter egg breeds un-
doubtedly will be found better. be-
cause they lay as many eggs and do
so on less feed, with the result that
they produce the eggs more cheaply.
II Is by all means advisable to keep
some pure breed or variety. Where
this Is done. sales at a profitable fig-
ure can often be made of breeding
stock intended for market, or of eggs
for Matching.

Elder Ducks Pluck the Down;
Later Gathered for Export

Elder ducks breed in thousands on
some of the smaller islands off the
coast of Iceland. The birds are so
tame that they will allow anyone to
stroke their feathers or lift them from
their nests. This is because they are
protected for the down. which is a
large item of export from Iceland. The
birds pluck the down from their
breasts TO line their nests. When these
are well lined the owner of the land
takes the down from the nests. The
ducks take more. down from their
breasts, and again il is removed from
the nests. For the third time the
ducks pluck down from their breasts,
and this time they are not disturbed
till the eggs are hatched, then the re-
naming down is taken.-The Girls
World.

SCOTS WOULD BAN MACBETH
Shakespeare's Play Libel to King, Ia
Claim Of League Of Veterans Of
World War.

New York-A resolution demanding
the elimination of Shakespeare's Mac
beth" from school curriculums on the
ground that ii was a libel on the
Scotch in its "misinterpretation In pre-
senting King Macbeth as a traitor and
murderer" was adopted here by the
League of Scottish veterans Of the
world war.
The resolution was addressed to the
Newark IN. J.) board of education,
which recently barred '"The Merchant
Of Venice" from the schools because
of the alleged SANDER to the Jewish
race.
"If they have banned Shylock, see
no reason why they should not ban
Macbeth" said Capt. Ian McTavish.
"If the Jewish gaberdine Is to be
cleaned they should also remove the
stain from the Scottish kilt"

WORDS OF WISE MEN

There are no points of the
compass on the chart of true
patriotism.
All good ends can be worked
out by good means. Those that
can not are bad, and may be
counted so at once and left
alone.
While we walk through the
valley Of youth. its beauty. its
variety, its pleasant greensward
and dancing lights and shadows
make us forget that 1t lies low.
AS we climb into middle age
the road is steep. but we know
that each step takes us nearer
the sun.

VIM. J. Pearson
Makes Report
Reviews Years Work of State
Forest Fire Department.

Lansing, Jan. 22.-William j. Pear
son, chief forest fire warden, says in
his annual report now awaiting the
printers: while unprecedented con-
ditions made 1919 an abnormal year for
forest fire tendencies and consequent
loss, il is conservative to say that our
positive and indirect loss as result of
fires, not considering tourist revenue,
is, when minimized, hardly less than
$4,000, 900 annually"
Mr.. Pearson's view strikes a new
feature in analyzing the annual fire
loss. He is determined to bring home
to Michigan the great and unnecessary
losses occurring annually by reason of
careless fires. That fire prevention is
better than fire fighting is his belief,
and that if Michigan is kept green the
} summer through it must be done by
close adherence to safety first princi-
Piles with fire brands, he says.
"Cloverland," which in reality is the
upper peninsula, was hardest hit last
year. Its loss is rated at 1902, 1886. rs for
fires and fire fighting expenditures of
$37, ,396.2l. The lower peninsula suf-
fered to the extent of $103, ,919 with fire
fighting expenditures of $23, 1863 Is.
Those figures represent only the loss
suffered by stand timber, forest prod
ucts, camp and railway equipment,
farm buildings. No estimate is placed
on loss of humus, the great fur traffic,
to game cover, and to tourist traffic.
Scarcity of labor, coupled with the
small per diem wage paid fire fighters
imposed serious handicaps on the dis
trict wardens charged with their vari-
Gus territories. Township supervisors,
! fire wardens by virtue of their office,
in many cases required importuning to
care for lesser fires. This laxity is now
under investigation by the department,
the report says.
! Patrols established by lumbermen,
cooperation of the federal forest SER
vice, private timber interests, railway
CAcCullNCS, thC otdtC
other agencies helped suppress fires.
Henceforth the ten district fire war
dens will be answerable for their dis
tricts. Each district man will select his
own men and will be expected to pro-
duce results. Thereby no cry that in
competents have been forced on him
will be raised. Attention is called to
the great annual loss of valuable sap
ling growth in the Christmas tree
waste. Recommendation also are
made that the fire law be amended so
all claims for impressed labor in forest
fire fighting be paid by special state
script or voucher as seon as certified to
by the signatures of the district fire
warden, township clerk or supervisor.
The pay is recommended to be increas-
ed to 50 daily and provision made for
plow, team, auto and other necessary
items.
