Cat and Baby

An ancient superstition, and one
that causes many mothers a great
deal of worry and trouble, is that if it
gets a chance a cat will suck the
breath out of sleeping babies. The cat
has number of sins to answer for,
hut this is not one of them.
cat likes a warm, clean place on
which to lie. and finds this is a child
cot and if the cot is small, instead of
nesting alongside the child, may curl
upon it. This is a serious enough
matter, when the relative weight OF
full-grown cats and young children
are considered. The cat may weigh
anywhere up to II pounds or even
more, while while an average baby
one month old weighs but eight
pounds, and at four months will weigh
II IL pounds Even when year old
the baby will average but % pounds
Consider what our feelings would
be if an animal of weight equal to
or greater than our own should curl
up on our chest and we be unable to
dislodge it. Undoubtedly some few
infants have been smothered in this
manner, but the cat did not intend
harm, and as for sucking the child's
breath, that is a physical impossible
ity, as the shape of the cats head
would render it impossible for it to
stop the child's respiration at both
the mouth and nose.
Cats are great carriers of disease
germs, and scratches from their claws
are sources of real danger, as those
claws are generally coated with Il
mass of germs which may cause in
lection, and for these reasons alone
should not be allowed to associate 100
intimately with young children whe-
Their the latter are asleep or awake.

Airplane Flare Was
a Gigantic Rocket

The most remarkable military fire.
during the war was a giant flare"
dropped from airplanes TO illuminate
the scenery.
1t was attached to the under side
of the plane, so as to be easily re-
leased by a push on lever, and
weighed nearly fifty pounds. The
container, a cylinder of timed steel,
was three and one-half feet long.
Inside the container was a case Of
heavy paper (of several thicknesses),
packed with an illuminating compost.
ton of barium nitrate with aluminium
and sulphur. The paper case was
meant to burn with its contents when
ignited. The paper case weighed
thirty pounds, was attached by steel
wire to a parachute of very light Japa'
nese silk likewise held in the con-
tainer) which was rolled aompactly as
possible. This was done with great
care, so that when thrown out of the
container it might not become entang
led and fail to open properly.
The steel cylinder was provided at
its upper end with four steel fins, to
steady it and make it drop perpen-
dicularly. AS it started to fall, a
tiny propeller-like wheel at its lower
end was set in motion by the upward
rush of air against it's blades, revolv-
ing at high speed The stem of the
wheel, revolving with it, ran up
screw-thread until it struck a cap
which ignited the firing charge, there
by expelling the contents of the cyl
inder and simultaneously setting fire
to the composition in the paper case.
The firework was dropped usually
at a height of 1000 feet, the liberated
parachute opening and floating at $500
feet with the burning paper case
dangling beneath it by the steel wire.
For about seven minutes the charge
of composition would continue to burn
giving out a white light of 100000
candle-power. So intense was the il
Elimination that a large area was
lighted sufficiently to permit photo
graphing and bombing.

Big Trade in Papers

A curious item of commercial news
is that the east coast district of the
island of Sumatra in 1913 imported
866,S35 pounds of secondhand news
papers" from the United States I'M
ports of the same kind of merchandise
from January list to September LIST,
of last year, We're 572,5S5 pounds.
Now, one might well ask what on
earth the natives of Sumatra want
with old newspapers from America
They cannot read them, and it would
surely not be worth White to trans
port them all that distance for any
commercial purpose.
Inquiry at the Department of Com
merce develops the fact that the
papers are wanted to cover young
sprouts of rubber trees and sugar
cane. The climate of the island is
mighty hot-as might be surmised
from the circumstances that the
equator runs through the middle of it
and, to prevent the aforementioned
sprouts burning up on the fierce sun
shine, sheets of paper are spread over
them. Old newspapers serve the pur-
pose very well, each sheet being held
down with stones at the corners.
The Samaritan retail trade in sec
ond hand newspapers is wholly in
the hands of chinese, who sell them
to the planters.
In Hawaii the same method of pro-
lection is adopted, but in that archi-
pelago sheets of rice paper, imported
from Japan, are used. This kind OF
paper is made from rice straw and is
so melted after short time by rains
that it dissolves and Indispensable
sprouts having meanwhile had time to
grow big and hardy enough to resist
the suns heat.
1t is a notable advantage, inasmuch
as there is no bother with picking Ut
the paper and disposing Of them after

Longevity of Birds

Some birds live to a great age. The
age of 80 is known to have been
reached by gray parrot, and there
are many statements of birds of the
parrot family having lived for more
than a century. The raven also is
credited with having reached 100
years. The domestic goose is another
long-lived bird. Many instances are
Known of geese attaining 40 years.
The ordinary domestic fowl is seldom
allowed to die of old age but in some
country places old hens that have been
made pets of are to be seen.

Glamor of Khaki Gone, War Brides Find
Life One of DiSconcerting Disappointment
When "Civves" Came in at the Door Love Strightway
Flew Out of the window

There are many disillusioned brides,
now that the, khaki has been dis
carded. In several cases we made in
quiries which stopped marriages
which would have caused much I'M
happiness"
Miss Gordon cited an instance of a
foreign war-bride who came to Eng
land with her husband. She had
clothes fit to grace any London draw
ing room, but when her husband was
demobilized she learned that he be-
longed to a working class, and, al
though he was willing to make a good
home for her, she refused to live with
him.
This, Miss Gordon said, was but one
of many cases she had known where
the glamor of khaki and the thrill of
war had been dispelled in the cold
gray dawn of these reconstruction
days.

inexperienced persons may reason

the nests once a week or every few
days will answer he same purpose,
but such is not the case. A hen re

the tenacity and stubbornness of a

There are many ways of discour-
aging broodiness; but, remembering
that the real reason for so doing is to
induce further egg production, any
practice or method that subjects the
hen to cruelty or privation will only
defeat the idea and should not be
tolerated.

some form of punishment on the I'M

wrong Aside from human reasons,
to half-stave or ill-treat fowls by
keeping them from feed or water only
invites further loss in eggs, since

the very condition that should be
avoided-the reversion of the egg or

POINTERS FOR POULTRYMEN

On farms devoted to egg production
it is the hens exclusive business to
produce this product in the greatest
numbers, and as continuously as pos.
sible. 1t is her managers duty to see
that she is equipped with every facil-
ity toward this end, and that her ac-
tivities are not allowed to lag.
Where poultry is raised on any sort
of scale the hen is not held respon-
sible for rearing next seasons flock
of pullets. 1t is far more economical
to perform this work by artificial
means, with the aid of incubators and
breeders. In consequence the hen is
denied any participation in the fur
therance of her species, save the lay
ing of the egg, and any inclination to-
ward such maternal ambitions must
be promptly discouraged. In other
words, broodiness-that desire to
latch setting of eggs must be
stopped.
1t is most natural for hen to be-
come broody. Even the so-called non
sitting varieties, such as the Leghorns,
bacome broody, though not so fire.
quently nor so persistently as the
heavier breeds. If left to her own de-
vices the hen would steal her nest, lay
Is to IS eggs in it, then proceed TO
hatch them.
Eggs Are Laid in Series
The hens egg production is not a
regular sequence of so much egg-mak-
ing material, though that is the aim
of the breeder of high-producing poul-
try. The egg cells, of which there are
many hundred in a well-matured nor.
NAL hen, are formed in series of clus-
tiers, each series being developed OF
retarded in accordance with the hens
general health and her ability to con
sumo sufficient quantities of correctly
balanced rations.
When the hen has laid a series OF
eggs, a rest period follows The dura
ton of this rest period varies widely
with individuals, just as the number
of eggs in a series varies. There may
be dozen egg cells in a series OF
five dozen. The rest period may con
sumo five days or five weeks. Both
factors are Influenced by the manage
ment of the hens.
In the spring and summer months
the rest periods are usually accom-
panied by broodiness. Leastwaya
there is an inclination toward BROOD
ness. Whether or not it becomes q
fixed state is up to the poultryman
If he interrupts the hen, il he discour
ages that broody inclination at the
very beginning, the hen will soon
abandon the desire to set, following
which another series of eggs will be
developed
Failure to discourage broodiness is
probably the most potent cause for
the low rate of egg production in
the majority of blocks The broody
hen eats and drinks very little and
takes practically no exercise. In con
sequence she soon becomes thin and
emaciated, and we are apt to marvel
how she sustains life at al
