Science Finds That Oyster Shells
 Nuke Hens Lay More Eggs

How many people who keep few hens to supply their table with eggs. ever stop to think. while sitting be- fore plate of oysters on the half shell, that the shells consist of one of Natures best foods for poultry? The oyster shell is composed of from 90 to 95 per cent. pure carbonate of lime or calcium carbonate. and when properly dried and crushed into flakes about half the sizes of the fngernail and fed to the laying hen. makes pos sible the greater production of eggs. Poultry, like human beings, require some form of calcium in their diet.
 An interesting bulletin, just issued by the Oyster Shell Products Bureau at Washington, makes public the re- suits of recent scientific experiments conducted at various state institutions of agriculture. These studies have de- Inonstrated that properly prepared and fed crushed oyster shells form the best calcium Cine) ingredient of a laying hens diet; that a prominent cause of low egg production, particu- larly during the late winter months, may be due to lack of sufficient call cium in the poultry ration; that the average cost of feeding shell amounts to but from 3 to cents per hen a year, and that oyster shell, when placed in the feeding pen for the poul- try to pick at when they want it, will

actually increase the egg yield.
 Some poultry raisers have the idea that if a hen does not get enough lime (oyster shell in her ration, she will lay soft shell eggs. but this popu- lar theory has been upset somewhat by experimental evidence. What does happen, however, is that the hen will continue to lay a hard egg, but cuts down on her production of eggs until she accumu1ates a supply of calcium (shell) material. Poultry science Is now of the opinion that the laying of soft ee~s is due to some pathological condition rather than to the lack of calcium in the feed. So. then, the farmer or the poultry raiser, with this thought, is lucky if the hen acci- dently lays a soft eggs and thus ar rives at the belief that its time to begin feeding the shell.
 The proper preparation of shell feed is shown to be important. This is done by manufacturers who put the shells through process of drying, cleaning, crushing and sizing, result ing in a loss in weight between the crude oyster shell and the finished poultry product of 34 per cent. Prac- ticai study of the feeding habits of poultry has greatly improved the quality of shell foods and the favor able effect from their use in egg pro- l duCtfOD.

THE EPuIEPTTC SEIZURE.

The epileptic attack is usually pre- ceded by peculiar sensation, a prem onition, called an aura. The spasm generally begins in the free Ald of all the muscles of the body. Then comes the pihful cry or groan. and the patient falls to the ground uncon- scio1s. Soon there comes a general first pa11or of the face, which quickly changes to congestion and syanosis

Threatening To
 Tear Down Flag

Paris. Oct. 19.-(BY THE A. P.) Threats to tear down the American flag over the American embassy here are contained in many letters which have been received at the embassy in the past few days protesting against the continuation in the United States of Nicolo Sacco and Bartholomew Vansetti, two Italians. for the murder of Frederick A. Parnmenter, paymas- ter of a manufacturing establishment at Braintree, Mass. In all between 300 and 400 letters of protest have been received.
 There have been numerous demon strations by radical elements in Italy over this case, and the communist up the campaign, urging their follow CTS to protesx to the embassy and an- nouncing a mass meeting for Friday. It is reported an attempt to demon strate in front of the embassy io be- ing planned to follow this meeting.
 The Paris police and the French ministry of foreign affairs have been ceipt of the letters of protest, includ- ing those which carried the threats and the state department in Wash ington also has been informed.
 As @ consequence, the police and the French government departments have initiated precautionary meas ureS.

Lead Arsenate Kills
Flee-Beetle Worms

Prompt and proper application of
arsenical poisons offers the best
means Of ridding tobacco plants of
the flea-beetle, which is a widely
distributed insect and often causes
considerable damage TO plans both
in the beds and fields, according to
H. H. Jewett, from the College of
Agriculture at Lexington.
In order to destroy this pest the
plants should be sprayed with ar
senate of lead paste at the rate Of
one pound Of paste to ten gallons of
water, or with arsenate of lead pow
der at the rate Of one pound to 20
gallons of water. The insect may
also be controlled by busting the
plants with mixture of one pound
of powdered arsenate of lead and
four pounds of sifted wood ashes,
care being taken to see that this
mixture is properly prepared.
An additional measure of protec-
ton to plants in the field may be
obtained by dipping them at trans
planting time in a solution of arsen-
ate of lead, using one pound Of paste
or one-half pound of powder to five
gallons of water. The solution
should be stirred frequently with
paddle during the dipping. This
method of control gives best results
when the plants are arranged in
small punches and only the leaves
dipped in the solution and then given
a slight shake to remove the excess
moisture.

.ANE of the strongest illustrations
of the economy of advertising
is reducing the cost of distri-
button and sales by stimulating in
creased consumption and is found in
the cooperative campaign of the
California Fruit Growers. Their ad-
vertising manager describes as fol-
lows the results of their advertising,
for which more than $1,000,000 was
spent last year.
In the twelve years since the first
campaiagn was launched in Iowa the
consumption of California oranges
has doubled. The American consumer
has been taught by cooperative ad-
vertising to eat nearly twice as many
oranges as before.
The expenditure of 21-2' cents
box, or about one fifth of cent per
dozen, to advertise oranges, did not
increase the price.
Had the orange industry remained
on the old basis there would have
been no profit in growing oranges.
New acreage .yould not have been
planted.
Old orchards would most surely
have been uprooted and other crops
planted.
Cooperative advertising widened
the growers market.
The cost of selling oranges and
lemons through the California Fruit
Growers Exchange is lower today
than it was ten years ago.
