SURE THAT ANIMALS DREAM
Eminent Authorities Have Gone on
Record, Though 1t Has Been
Subject OF Dispute.

Aristotle's history of animals de-
clares that horses, oxen, sheep, goats,
dogs and all viviparous quadrupeds
dream. Pliny, In his natural history
specifies the same animals. Bunon
describes the dreams of animals. Mac
nish calls attention to the fact that
horses neigh and rear in their sleep,
and affirms that cows and sheep, es-
pecfally at the period of rearing their
young, dream.
Darwin, in the descent of Man."
says that 'dogs, cats, horses and
probably all the higher animals, even
birds, as Is stated on good authority,
have vivid dreams, and this is shown
by their movements and voice.
George John Romanes, in his Men.
tai Evolution in Animals says that
the fact that dogs dream Is proven
bial, and quotes Seneca and Lucretius'
and furnishes proof from DR.. Lauder
Lindsay, an eminent authority, that
horses dream. Bechstein holds that
the bullfinch dreams and gives case
where the dream took on the cnar.
acter Of nightmare, and the bird fell
from its perch, and four great author
tiles say that dreaming becomes SO
vivid as to lead to somnambullsm.

of pantomimic actions, including
barking. Dryden says: "Ihe Illus

Binding On q Soil for Crops

The more you raise to an acre the
cheaper you are producing. On land
that is not producing more than forty
bushels to the acre, the cost of pro-
duction is more per bushel than on
land that yields rs bushels per acre.
Why not put in less acreage and pro-
duce more to the acre? For best pro-
duction the soil, like the milk cow
needs a good constitution. To bring
about this needful condition a plent-
iful supply of organic matter must. be
added and an environment conductive
to its decay be developed by correc-
ton of the excess acidity. And to i'm
prove its physical makeup lime is
needed both for growth of legumes
to provide the organic matter and
nitrogen, as well as to regulate the
change OF the raw substances into
disable form. AS measure of capacity
of lime to enrich the soil, longtime
tests show q constant increase and
when applied on phosphate treated
land-the two elements the soil In
this county is short on-crops have
been increased over 2 bushels per
acre.

Some Poultry Hints

Now that the next generation OF
chicks are making their initial APP
pearance it would be well to consider
some points regarding their future, as
we'll as present, management. They
will not always be little chicks. They
will, if given proper care, grow larger.
And growing larger will require larger
quarters. The small coop doesn't grow
at all and is soon overcrowded. The
best we can say for overcrowded con-
ditions is that it is good way to
let chickens die. 1t behooves US, then,
to ep pace with the growth of the
chicks by preparing roomier quarters
for them as they grow.
The newly Matched chicks will later
become hens and ROSTERS. The hens
will, in time, be old hens and old
hens are not as profitable as young
hens They don't lay as many eggs,
they are more susceptible to disease
and they eat lot of food. But how
are we going to accurately tell how
old they are are since 1t is proven
fact that such methods Of determining
their age as counting their feathers,
counting the wrinkles In their faces,
noting the length Of spurs, the scabs
on their legs, or the appearance OF
their teeth, are not accurate means
of telling age? The best and only
way to know the age Of chickens is
to have them marked and right now
during the Matching season there are
several simple and permanent ways
OF doing this: Using bands, leg bands
(altho leg bands have to be changed
on growing chicks) toe marks, punch
ing holes in the web of the feet, or
cutting off the back toe far enough
so that the nail will not grow out
again. One old fellow used to bite
them off. Scissors are just as good,
however.

How to Let Chicks Die

By feeding them before they are
two days old.
BY feeding them too much at q
time for the first two weeks.
BY keeping them too hot or too cold.
BY keeping them overcrowded.
BY keeping them in unsanitary
quarters.
BY letting them run on foul, disease
contaminated ground.
By not cleaning and disinfecting
quarters and runs thoroughly and
often.
BY keeping them in damp places.
BY insufficient use of sunlight.
By not letting in plenty Of resh air.

What Does Early Matching Mean

What Does Early Matching Mean?
Early Matching means chicks that
are past the danger point before hot
weather comes. Early Matching means
less trouble with lice and mites, more
chickens raised, longer growing sea-
son, higher prices for surplus cock
erels and early maturity. Early hatch
ing means well matured pullets that
begin to lay early-early layers are
high producers. Early Matching means
more pullets when hens are moulting,
more eggs in fall and winter when
eggs are high in price. Early Matching
means more early maturing pullets
and cockerels for breeding purposes.
Early Matching means greater profit.
Hatch as early in the spring as con-
ditions will permit.

Eat More Eggs

Present research work discloses that
eggs are one Of the few foods con-
tanning any appreciable quantity of
vitamens, a food element most es-
sential to the development OF the
body and mind. The protein of eggs
is one of the most, if not the most
complete protein we have and is most
readily assimilated by the body. For
growing children there is no better
food than eggs. Give them all they
can eat. The Japs, Italians and Chinese
do not eat many eggs They are small
in stature and shortlived.

Two Dates To Keep In Mind

The County Farm Tour, June oath
and the County Farm Bureau picnic,
July 10Th. These dates have been def
initely set and plans are being made
to make them interesting and worth
while. The Farm Tour this year will
cover the south half of the county
largely, taking in soil and crop ex-
detrimental work, different herds of
livestock OF men that have been sue
cessful in their methods, visiting farms
that have helpful farm conveniences
and equipment, and other things Of
interest. Five very good speakers have
been booked for that day to give short
talks at farms and at the noon stop.
Rex Beresford on livestock, M. A.
Hauser on soil, DR.. Stouder on disease
and sanitation, H. e. Nichols on or
chards and Miss Suffer on poultry.
The County picnic will be at the
Fair Ground in Manchester, being the
most centrally located with lots of
room, shade and water for a crowd.
July 18th was chosen so as not to
conflict with the township dates the
first of August and to come before
threshing starts. c.. w. Hunt, Presi-
dent Of the Iowa Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, will be the main speaker of the
picnic. Other entertainment will be
worked out also.

Delaware Co. Farm Bureau
HAVE YOUR CATTLE TESTED

Now is the time to get your cattle
tested free OF charge and to be paid
for all reactions. The State has ap-
propriated $250,OOO and the federal
government gives the same amount
to be used in paying for the cattle
that have tuberculosis when tested.
State Veterinarians will be in the
county to do this work the first OF
May, for all men who have signed
one of the blanks for the test. Every
one ought to take advantage OF this
and clean up his herd. 1t is surprising
to know how tuberculosis is growing
in the livestock. and for this reason
the government is taking action. It
is a fact that tuberculosis is spread in
the human family by the use OF milk
from infected cows and the hogs and
chickens contract it by following herds
OF infected cattle. II we keep clean
herd of cattle we will do away with
it in hogs and chickens. Why put 1t
off? Stop in the Farm Bureau office
or write for application blank and In
formation about the test. Get lit done
while the state veterinarians are in
the county this time.
