Production of Eggs Is
Where Most Profit Made

Probably the greatest hindrance to
the profitable keeping of poultry on
the ordinary farm is the retention of
lot of fowl that are poor layers,
due either to their being too old or
of type TO produce meat rather than
eggs. The production of eggs is the
end of the poultry business in which
the most profit can be made, so that
heavy egg producing type is best
suited to ordinary farm conditions.
Generally speaking, the pullet year
Is the most profitable period Of a
hens life. 1t is advisable, therefore,
either to mark the chicks when
Matched, using a different mark for
each year, or to band the pullets when
they are put into winter quarters, 50
that at culling time the age of the
different birds can be seen at
glance and only those that are required
for breeding purposes retained after
the first years production.
The trap-nest is the most reliable
means to use in culling the flock, but
the ordinary farmer does not use trap
nests, so that reliance must be PLACED
on physical characteristics. The high
producer win be of an active DISPOSE
ton, early off the roost in the morning
and late to go on at night and always
busy. Her head will be clear cut, face
smooth and free from wrinkles, with
bright, prominent eyes; skin soft, pill
able and of fine texture; and a general
appearance of health and vigor.

Fought to Establish
Jewish independence

The Maccabees was the name of a
family in Syria, which during the Sec
ond century before Christ, resisted the
prosecutions inflicted upon the Jewish
nation by the Seleucidae.
After the death of Mattathias, the
leader of the revolt, in 166 B. c., his
son Judas Maccabaeus, defeated the
Syrians In three battles, reconquered
Jerusalem, purified the temple, and re-
stored the worship Of Jehovah, says
the Kansas City Star. He was slain
in ambush in 161 B. c., and was sue
ceeded by his brother, Jonathan, who
WAS raised to the dignity of high
priest. bur was afterward treacherous-
~ slain at PtolemaLs in LA B. c., by
I Tryphon, the guardian of the young
prince Antiochus Theos
His brother, Simon, then succeeded
to the leadership of the common
wealth, and completely established the
independence of the Jews. After seven
vars of benefcent rule, he was muir
>dered. together with his two sons, by
his son-in-law, Ptolemy, who vainly
hoped to be chosen his successor. John
ilyrcanus, son of Simon, was the next
ruler He renewed the alliance with
Rome, conquered Idumaea, and took
the title Of king, 107 B. G. Syria be-
came Roman province in 60 B. G.

Palladium in Legend

The Palladium was a famous wood
en- image of Pallas (Minerva), said to
have been hurled from heaven by
Zeus, and to have fallen near the tent
of Illus, while he was engaged in build
ing nlium (Troy). The oracle of
Apollo having declared that the city
should never be taken so long as Pal
ladium was retained within its walls,
the statue was placed in sanctuary
and carefully guarded. 1t was, how
ever, finally stolen by Ulysses and
Diomedes about 1854 B. c., and thus
victory was secured TO the Greeks. Ac-
cording to some accounts, Troy con-
tanned two Palladia, one of which was
stolen and conveyed to one of the
Greek cities, while the other was taken
to Italy by Aereas and secretly guard
ed by the Romans in the Temple of
yesta. The word palladium" is some
times used at the present day to sig
Nifty a pledge of security and protec-
tion.-Kansas City Star.

Unframed By Long Falls

Among the classic English falls
may be mentioned that of a steeple-
jack. who fell from the top of the
church of st. George in Bolton-le-
Meors TO the ground, the whole dis
lance traversed being some 120 feet.
The mans skull struck some sheet
lead upon the earth and left its i'm
pact upon it. but though this fall was
quite unbroken the man was only
slightly injured and resumed work in
a few days. Not long ago man
with his shoes on fell from the top
of cliff at Dover, the height Of which
was afterward found to be 400 feet
He was picked up floating insensible
in some FIVE feet of water, but his
shoes were off, which proves that he
must have retained sufficient con-
seriousness on reaching the water to
enable him to draw his shoes from
his feet.

Opal Diggers Work Hard
for Small Remuneration

Of all the rough "outback" Jobs In
Australia, digging for opal is about
the worst. Coober Pedy lies in the
heart of the Stewart range, ITO miles
from the nearest station on the East
West railway, and its whole popula-
ton Of between 20 and so diggers
lives underground In burrows scratched
out Of the hillside. A tin shanty, IN
which the diggers keep their tools, is
the only sign Of life showing above
ground.
Every morning the dlggers come out
Of their holes and set out for the opal
fields, to cut patiently through the
rock in the hope of finding the beau
tiful black diamonds lying beneath.
Between them they have dug many
thousands of dollars worth of opal In
the last four years, though they have
worked only small area Of field
said to be 40 miles long. In normal
times opal is worth about $50 an
ounce, but now that there is practical
~ no demand for the gems the diggers
have opal, but no money.

got this fact from the bishop Of the
diocese. If you will let your glass
stand half an hour you can separate
the land from the water as easy as
Genesis, and then you will find them
both good-the one to eat, the other
to drink. The land is very nourishing,
the water is thoroughly wholesome.
The one appeases hunger, the other,
thirst. But the natives do not take
them separately, but together, as ma
ture mixed them. When they find an

are some cases of timber trespass, but
usually these trespasses happen.

frequently due to imperfect title rec

The government maintains corps of
rangers and forest guards on the ma
tional forests, who in the course of
their daily work are constantly travel
ing through the forest areas under
their Jurisdiction. This patrol pre-
vents deliberate theft and discovers
and corrects unintentional trespass.
The penalty for deliberate trespass is
severe and is applied vigorously.

Feed in Severe Weather

Many successful poultrymen follow
the practice of supplying little more
feed than usual when the weather is
unfavorable and some of them change
the ration slightly, supplying little
more of the heat and fat producing
elements. This is done on the theory
that the fowls are warmer and more
comfortable when so fed and there is
no doubt but that this is the case. In
any event special attention when the
weather is bad is the best way to
avoid the beginning of disease and dis
orders which may throw the entire
flock out of condition for an entire
season.

Doubt Anecdote of Drake

One of the features of the great his
torical pageant of Devon, produced AZ

of the identical set of bowls witt.
which Drake was playing when the
Armada came In sight. These bowls
are among the treasures of Torquay

doubt their authenticity or rather the
truth Of the famous anecdote OF Drake
and his celebrated game on Plymouth
Hoe. There is no contemporary sc-
count of the incident. which was le-
scribed for the first time in Britain
in an Eighteenth century book. 1t il
mentioned, however, in Spanish po-
iitical pamphlet published in 1924.

FARM :
POULTRY
DUCKS USUALLY ARE
HARDEST OF FOWLS

Ducks as rule are hardy. They
DO not have gapes. The weakest part
OF a duck is its legs. Indigestion is
apt to show itself in the young, II
coarse sand Is omitted in the food It
Is always best to put a handful Of
sand in a pail of mash food, mixing
1t thoroughly. This will aid digestion.
The oily nature of the feathers makes
the ducklings vermin proof. Exposure
to hot suns Is fatal. There should al
ways be a partial shade to the runs
The market term "green duck" Is
of late innovation. The cognomen Is
applied for the reason that the bird
has not yet matured 1t should weigh
not less than four pounds, and be not
over ten weeks old-eight weeks would
be better-and should never be allowed
bathing water. AS an article of diet,
If provided by a competent chef, the
green duck resembles the famous and
fast disappearing canvasback duck.
The Runner duck is not inclined to
fatten so readily as other varieties.
Its name originated from the fact
that this duck has a running rather
than waddling motion. In color it
Is light brown or fawn shade end
gray. At the joining of the head and
bill there is a narrow band of white.
The legs are orange. In carriage 1t is
erect. with long. narrow body, well
elevated in front, and closely feath-
cred. The neck is long and slender,
and the head rather fat The bin is
long and broad.
Duck eggs are in demand by confec-
TONERS, as they impart a glaze to their
icing, which cannot be had with hen
eggs. For making plum buildings,
duck eggs are more economical than
those of fowls, being both larger in
size and richer. In the household
duck eggs are used in making all kinds
Of cakes, omelette, cooking generally,
and they are also relished fried.

Poultry Notes
+ /.


Show your best fowls at the fairs.
Feed the hens to force them through
their mott.
Gull all undeveloped pullets and old
hens from the flock.
Grain will put on flesh and that Is
the ideal that one should strive to at
tain.
Have you some chickens to sell?
Tell your customers that poultry is as
cheap as other high-grade meat.
Killing a crippled chick Is an act Of
greatest kindness and ought to be done
as soon as the deformity is discovered.
OF course egg shells are more brittle
at the end of the hatch than at the be-
ginning. If they weren't, how could
the chicks break their way out?
1t is better to discard hens with
defects the moment they are detected
than to hold them at loss until late
summer, or until the end of the year,
when there is general culling.

Dogs Need Frequent
Release From Chain

The following humane appeal made
by correspondent in the Dog World
shows pointedly how dogs are the VIC
Tins Of cruel practice; how their
dispositions may be spoiled. and their
lives rendered unnatural and I'M
happy:
May i plead through your columns
for the better treatment of dogs who
are continually chained, sometimes
for weeks and months, without being
liberated from their Imprisonment?
The other day a man stated in a
police court that his dog had not been
off the chain for twelve months; from
its puppyhood. it had been fastened
up without an hour of liberty.
"As a lover of dogs / hold that ev-
cry dog is entitled to regular exercise,
and that 1t is unjustifable cruelty to
imprison a dog for life. Such treat
ment makes a dog hopeless and mis-
cradle; he becomes detected and Oft
en- savage, and his health suffers Sc
rfously.
"a young dog can be trained to be
a guard without claiming, and the best
watchdogs are those which are not
chained. Chains are a heritage of by
gone days and should be abolished"
The best way to keep q dog that
needs restraint is to put him in yard
with high fence. If this is not prac-
ticable, fasten a wire across any yard /,
on this put an iron ring which, when
attached by cord to the dogs collar,
will allow him to run backward and
forward the full length of the wire.
The yard should have shade as We'll
as sunshine, to protect the dog from
too great heat of the sun.
Make your dog your companion and
friend. Treat him kindly and he will
respond.
1t is cruel to tie dog under wag
on or allow him to follow an automo-
bile or bicycle. Let him ride with you.
