MADE BOAT FROM SIDE CAR
Enthusiastic Duck Hunter Found Val
liable Use for His Motorcycle
Attachment.

|
On the opening day of the duck sea,
son at Baldwin Lake, CAL, last fall,
strange craft was sighted in the ell
grass of the shooting grounds. Its
occupant was known to have ridden
motorcycle in more than $50 miles
of mountain and desert road, and then
to have been SO unfortunate as to lind
all the boats gone. When he came In
that night with his limit of birds, II
was seen that he had made a queer
but efficient duck boat out of his
motorcycle side car.
Wood plugs closed the bolt holes
where it was removed from the frame
and can of pitch, judiciously applied,
sealed all possible leaks. Rock ballast
of some sixty pounds steadied the
somewhat cranky craft, and its In
conspicuousness aided the ingenious
sportsman in securing an unusual bag
Of birds. So well pleased was he with
the adventure that now he contem'

DIDN'T QUITE GET TIE IDEA
Japanese Geisha Girl Meant Well, But
American Travelling Man
Remained Hungry.

Baron Rempei Kondo. president OF
the Japan Mail Steamship company,
said at a dinner that he gave recently
in New York:
1.-THE japanese are a very clean
people. / know an American traveller
who will testify TO this.
aThe traveller, half famished, made
his way cne,day into teahouse in a
remote Japanese village. The geisha
girl ushered him into a spotless, airy
room; and brought him cup of I'm
sweetened tea. AS he could speak no
Japanese. he tried to explain by signs
that he wanted n full meal, but the
girl. though she smiled politely, failed
to understand.
$50 the traveller thought he would
resort to another means. He took out
his notebook and pencil, drew a fish
and an egg, and handed the drawing
to the geisha. This time she laughed
delightedly, clapping her hands and
ran from the room.
1.-THE traveller was pleased. He
waited contentedly for his meal.
Five or ten minutes passed. Then
the door opened. and two attendants
staggered in with a portable bath
brimfu Of hot water, and cake of

TO RAISE HEALTHY CHICKENS
Lack of Vigor in Newly Hatched
Chicks Is Often Traceable to
Weakness of Parents.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
To be successful in raising chickens
1t is necessary to have healthy and
vigorous breeding stock, for the lack
of vigor in the newly Matched chicks
is often traceable to weak parents.
Only the most vigorous and the best
grown birds should be put in the
breeding yards. Each bird should be
full of life and energy and free from
any serious deformity. Yearling hens
are usually better than pullets for
breeders, for the reason that the hens
are more mature and do not lay so
many eggs during the early winter,
and consequently do not reduce their
vitality so much before the breeding
season. Vigorous hens 2 to 4 years
old can often be advantageously
retained in the breeding yard. The
male bird chosen should be young and
active. An early Matched. well-devel-

DIPPING CHICKENS FOR LICE
Likely to Become More General Than
Dipping Cattle Because Pest
Is More Numerous.

prepared by the United States Depart"
ment of Agricultureo
"Dip that chick!" 1t isn't done just
for the sake of making rhyme for
"dip that tick" either. Dipping chick.
ems is likely to become more general
than dipping cattle, because the
chicken louise is more widely distrib'
uted insect than the cattle tick. The
"dip" consists of 1 ounce of sodium
,fuoride to the gallon Of water, which
should be at temperature of 70 to g
degrees. The dipping should be done
on clear, warm day-never on a
cold day. The old way of getting rid
of chicken lice was by busting with
dry sodium fluoride. 1t was effective
but in the case of large floclls it was
slow and wasteful, great deal of the
busting material being inevitably lost
Recent dipping experiments proved
successful, and the results promise a
sure and speedy means of getting rid
Of one of the worst pests of poultry.

HER LIFE FOR HER PUPPIES
Airedale Never Flesitated When Called
Upon to Make the Supreme
Sacrifice to Duty.

Again mother has given her life

whistles scream, hoists squeal and
rattle, engines chug and there is a me-

are dogs-a wiry-haired Airedale
mother and her four puppies.
A scow was home to the canine fam
lily. One day a swell overturned the
basket in which the pups lay, and ov-
erboard they went There was no
hum pm aid near. But the mother
leaped to the rescue, of her drowning
offspring. One by one she brought the
littla pups to safety. But before she
could reach the last one it drowned.
Men found her on decks still holding
the body of the dead puppy, and with
the three others scrambling and whin-
Ing around her. The mother was too
exhausted TO move. They sent for a
physician. but when he arrived the
rescued pups were orphans.

CONVEYED THE WRONG IDEA.
Two Anecdotes That Show Necessity
for Careful Wording When Us
Ing the Wire,

The Stokes house at LenoX, finally
converted into a hotel, was one of the
''show places" of the region when An
son Phelps Stokes, Jr., now secretary
of Yale university, was an Undergrad
uate.
The young man perturbed his moth
err, just before q Christmas holiday Pc
Rod, by proposing to invite a number
of his classmates to Lenox. His class
was that of 1896, and in the telegram,
not caring to mention the exact num-
Der, but intending merely to show that
they were classmates, he said: "Am
inviting '96 men to Lenox for the va
cation"
She promptly telegraphed back: "Do
not ask more than 40. Have 80 house
guests here now"
Which puts one in mind of tele-
gram Capt. "Archie" Butt once sent,
while he was Mr.. Taft's aid. Mr.. Taft
had been eating many big dinners in
public, at the height of the open sea-
son, and he longed for moderate re-
past. So Captain Butt telegraphed TO
lie next gathering at Chicago: Make
it simple. Butt" The telegram was

Fish is not used as a food to the
extent it should be in this country
nor to the extent that 1t is used IN
other countries. 1t is cheaper than
meat because it requires less labor to
produce and market it, ana because
fish consume in their growth very lit-
tlc material which is available or use
full in human food. Like meat, II is
il protein food, and if well cooked II
makes a nutritious and palataHe
dish.
Even though purchased dressed, fish
should be carefully cleaned in the
home. After cleaning anu washing
wipe dry with a soft cloth and salt
well before cooking. The addition OF
vinegar or lemon Juice during the
{ olling is usually advisable when IT is
baked or boiled.
Because they contain less of the So
called extractives which give flavor to
pork, beef, and mutton, fish are likely
to be somewhat insipid. For this rea-
son extra care should be used in the
selection Of the other food to be
served with it. Have 1t either very
highly favored or so mild in flavor
