typewriters at Fort Mcpherson, Ga.
This training Of the men will be
part Of the routine work of the salvage

Queer plant Grows in Africa

The welswitschia, which grows In
southwest Africa, Is one Of the queer.
est plants In the world. The body of
the plant resembles an enormous rad
ish, and Is sometimes IL to Is feet In
circumference. From this grows two
long leaves, which trail on the ground
and are usually split into numerous
ribbons. These are the only leaves
produced, and they last through the
lifetime Of the plant, which is said to
reach more than one hundred years.
The colonial authorities maintain
small park for the preservation OF
this rare and remarkable plant.

Early History Of the Hat.

The use of beaver in making hats
commenced about 1900, for Chaucer
first. Hatters guilds began to appear
in England, and apprentices were
taught the art Of making felt hats
and decorating them. Nine cents a
day was then hatter's wages. In
the Sixteenth century the first hat
stores began to do business, and hats,
therefore as widely decorated as po-
etic fancy, began to be standardized.
In other words-style began to rule.
BY 1900 styles were very much In evil
dence. but were very changeable.
Shakespeare's plays speak of various
types Of hats then worn.

INFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST
Get Rid of All BOOSTERS as Soon as Pos.
sible After Matching Season, or
Separate Them.

The poultry flock can get along per-
fectIy well without the rooster just a.
soon as you are through saving hatch
ing eggs. The sooner the male birds
are taken from the flock and marketed
or killed, or placed in separate runs,
the better. Infertile eggs are always
best for market; for the summer mar
ket this holds doubly true. Tie infer
tile eggs keep better than the fertile
ones. One more thing: The male
birds will not increase egg production
one whit; they are that many extra
mouths to feed while the hens are
hustling to pay their own keep.
