Torres Strait Islanders
Have Their Own Idea of
Showing Respect to Dead

The natives of the Torres Strait
islands have their own ideas about
showing respect to the dead. One
way is to anOint the body with half
the contents of a bottle of cheap scent
sold by the enterprising Orientals. The
rest of the bottle Is corked up and left
on the grave. There is a tiny grave
on Moa at the foot of which is a baby's
Observation-Disclosures probable cause of
the unfortunate infants death. Though
some of the larger islands have Gene
teries, graves are scattered all Over
the place. Generally decorated with
empty and inverted rum bottles, they
are often found beside the corpse's
late residence. Where the relatives
have been more ambitious-or better
off-a proper marble" has been pro-
cured from Townsville or some other
coastal town. The s%etting-up of one
Of these stones is the excuse for q gen
eral gorge. Such an event recently
took place at Darnley, where a proper
stone" was erected over the grave of
the late Mamoose-head nan or king.
The ceremony was followed by a three
days gorge of pig. yams, turtle, etc,
which was shaken down-and room
made for more-by vigorous dancing
and singing by all hands.

Grizzly Bear Never Eats
Human Flesh; Not Ferocious
Flights When Necessary

The grizzly bear has been known to
century. Lewis and Clark wrote the
first official accounts Of him in 1908,
and he was first discussed publicly in
1914 by Gov. De Witt Clinton in New
York city. Guthrie's old geography
says that he was named Ursus hOr-
ribilus by Naturalist George Ord in
1915. Fossil records indicate that the
grizzly Is of Asiatic origin. He appears
to have come into America about a
million years ago over n of the pre-
HISTORIC land bridges that united
Alaska ana Asia. Bears and dogs are
descendants from the same parent
stock. The grizzly bear never eats hui
mar flesh. is not %ferociOus and fights
only In S~elf-defense. He leads an adj
venturous life, Is Il born explorer and
ever has good wilderness manners
never makes attacks. The numerous
cases In which the grizzly has been
made a pet and companion of man,
where he was thoughtfully, intelli-
gently raised, show him to be a SUI
perior animal, dignified, intelligent,
loyal and uniformly good-tempered.
Not a grizzly exists in any of the
four national parks of California, and
that animal, once so celebrated in that
state, is extinct there. He is also ex,
tinct owe the greater portion of the
vast territory which he formerly oc-
cupied, and is verging OH extermina-
ton.

Poultry on Range Requires Less Care.

setting as many hens as possible at
n time; this saves labor. as it takes
only a little while longer to care for
a number of setting hens than for one
hen. Confine the setting hens to their
nests and allow them all to come off
at one time daily. An incubator may
be used for Matching the eggs and the
chicks may be put under hens for
brooding, especially early in the sea-
son, when it is difficult to get hens to
set as early as Is desirable to produce
early chickens.
Raise the chickens under hens, put
ting from Is to 25 chickens with each
hen, and confine the hens to small
coops placed on a good green sod, or
a field Of some growing crop whereby
the young chickens will have free
range on fresh land. A considerable
number of hens with brOods of chick
n al be kept In a limited space
where the hens are confined to the
coops.
In sections where commercial hatch
cries exist the farmer can have his
eggs Matched there and thus save the
labor of Matching the chicks. These
chickens can be reared with hens,
or a stove brooder which will cover
from 200 to 400 chicks may be used to
good advantage, thereby saving labor
in feeding and caring for the chicks
and still allowing the young chickens
free range. BY the Use of these COM
mercial hatcheries all the chickens can
be Matched at one time and the chick
n can be brought out early in the
spring, at which time 1t Is most profit
able to hatch and raise chickens.

METHODS OF HANDLING HENS
Labor-Saving Appliances Are Of Value
on Poultry Farm-orchard Fur
nlshes Range.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Ag%riculture.)
In general the simplest methods of
handling poultry are best, especially
on general farms, where poultry Is a
side issue, though such farms furnish
the bulk Of the poultry production.
Labor-saving appliances are of value
on poultry farms, but are not always
practical on general farms. Women
and children can do most of the poul-
try work on a general farm and there
by release the labor of the men for
other farm work. On general farms.
place the poultry house convenient to
the dwelling house in order to save
steps.
One house holding from rs to $50
hens a be used to advantage, allow
ing the hens free range all the time.
An excellent arrangement Is to have
the house near an orchard, which fur.
nishes a good range for the hens. BY
allowing free range the hens will pick
up all the necessary green feed and
will also get a considerable amount
of their grain feed. Keep large hop
pers containing dry mash before the
hens constantly, so that 1t will be neces-
sary to feed the scratch grains only
once or twice daily. Very little more
labor is required in caring for a flock
containing from 100 to $50 hens than
is required for from 80 to 100 hens,
provided all the hens are kept in one
house and have a large free range.
A separate shed or a room in the
laying house al be utilized to advan-
tage for Matching chickens with hens,
