various forms the plant is most readily
recognized by Its leaves, which are
always divided into three leaflets, and
by Its whltlsh waxy fruits, which look
somewhat like mlstfetoe berries. All
varieties do not bear fruits, but when
discovered the whitish or cream-col-

SMALL FLOCK IN BACK YARD
Two Hens for Each Member Of Fam
lily Are Recommended as Best by
Poultry Specialists.

The average novice can reasonably
expect to get an average of at least
10 dozen eggs per hen per year from
his small flock in the back yard. On
the basis Of two hens TO each mem.
Der of the family this will give 20
dozen eggs year TO each person,
which amount is about halfway be-
tween the average OF farm and city
consumption. No backyard poultry
keeper should be satisfied with less
than this, say poultry specialists OF
the United States Department OF
Agriculture. Every backyard poultry
keeper should try to get as much
more as possible. To provide an egg
a day for each person, two hens would
have to lay 1888 eggs each a year.

stems O to 10 feet or more I'm height !;
also frequently as a tree up to 20 or
30 feet high, with trunk 8 to 10
inches In diameter.
The leaves of poison sumac are d.
vided into to 10 leaflets, arranged In
pairs with a single leaflet at the end.
The avoidance of shrubs growing In
low land with leaves of this general
character is safe rule for persons
not well acquainted with poison sumac.
Poison sumac is often confused with
elder, certain kinds Of ash, and various
other shrubs and trees bearing some
what similar foliage; also with dog
wood, TO which 1t bears no resem-
blance. Its loose, dropping clusters Of
flowers, followed by smooth, ivory
white fruits, are readily distinguished
from the densely covered upright ter
minal spikes of the harmless sumacs.
Other differences are readily notice
able, such as the wing-like growth
along the margins Of the leaf stalks
of the dwarf sumac and the hairy COW
erings Of the leafstalks and twigs Of
the staghorn sumac.
After exposure to poison ivy, meas
ures to Insure the removal of the pol
son are Of primary importance. At
first the poison is on the s"rface OF
the skin and may he removed ny wash
ing with ordinary kitchen or laundry
soap and hot water. Care should be
taken, however, not TO spread the pol
son by careless washing.
Mild cases of Ivy poisoning general
ly subside within few days and do
not cause alarm. Fatal cases, how
ever, have occurred, and where the In
flammation Is extensive or severe, a
physician should be consulted. In the
early stages Of Ivy poisoning, remedies
having fatty or oily base, such as
ointments, should not be used, as the
grease or oil tends to dissolve and
spread the poison, say specialists Of
the Department of Agriculture. In
stead they advise simple remedies,
such rs local application of solutions
of cooking soda or Of EPSON salt. one
or two teaspoonfuls to cupful Of
water. Fluid extract of grindelia. d.
iuted with four to eight parts Of water,
Is often used with success.
Solutions Of this kind may be ap-
piled with light bandages or clean
cloths. which should be kept moist and
should be changed and discarded fire.
quently to avoid Infection. During the
night. or when moist applications can
not be used. the poisoned surfaces
should be carefully cleaned and dried
and left exposed to the air rather
than tightly bandaged. In the later
stage after the toxic material has ex-
hausted itself, zinc-oxid ointment and
similar mild antlseptics and astringent
applications hasten healing.

POISON IVY AND SUMAC.

Poison ivy may appear in
various forms, but the three
teIltaTe leaves identify It.
Not all varieties of poison ivy
bear fruit. Those that do have
whitish or eream-colored berries
resembling mistletoe.
Poison sumac, under various
aliases, grows only in swamps
or in wet ground.
Poison sumac has 7 to ID
leaflets arranged in pairs along
each stalk, with a single leaAet
at the tip.
Poison sumac 10 often con-
fused with elder, certain kinds
of ash, and various other shrubs
and trees bearing somewhat
similar foliage.
Its loose, dropping clusters of
flowers, followed by smooth
ivory-white fruits, are readily
distinguished from the densely
covered upright terminal spikes
of the harmless sumac.

a lot of trouble. The three are the
poison Ivy (Rhus radicans) and poi

the wonderful visions of broad mead
ows deep with grass, and the life of
luxury and ease which Miss Pickford
as Amanda Afflick, the little laundry
slavey, promises Lavender, the de-
crepit old delivery horse that she
v from the glue factory, actually
happened to Lavender in real life.
During the filming of "Suds," Law
ender adapted himself so readily to
the screen work and acted so we'll,
permitting so many indignities to his
person, that when the picture was
finished Miss Pickford SEM him to a
large ranch near her Beverly Hills
home, and there Lavender will spend
his few declining years with nothing
to do but take life easy and brag of
his film experiences to his thorough
bred companions.
