Little Danger Now to
Hunters of "Big Game"

Wild beasts are not one-hundredth
so dangerous as they are reputed,
writes John w. VandercOok in the
Forum. All capable judges not OBJ
sessed by their own Importance and
by a desire for indiscriminate killing
agree to that. The two greatest of
all wild animal photographers-Maj.
Arthur Dugmore and Martin John
son-ridicule the notion of the spOn-
taneOus ferOcity of big game animals.
'In the course of an ordinary Afri-
can journey, and | care not where
ones route lies or how remotely one
penetrates. profoundly believe there
is no more danger from animals than
there is from being hit by stray
meteor" says one noted wild animal
hunter.
Every big game hunter, and there
are invariably several in a party, is
equipped with a multiple shot, mod
ern rifle, which aims true at up
ward of half mile and delivers
such terrific impact that the bull
let will upset most animals no mat
ter where it hits. And always near
at hand is TO be found an efficient
native gun bearer equipped with and
capable of using duplicate weap-
on. Much shooting in fact, is now
done from the idiotic security of an
automobiles back seat. Some eXpen-
Siye Englishmen have even an
nOunced that there is sport" to be
had from an aiTplane.

Lamb Dysentery Acute
and Fatal Disease

Lamb dystentery, an acute and gen
orally fatal disease. occurring in lambs
from one day to three weeks old, is
very infectious. The pasture and cor
rails become infected; and even ewes
and sheepmen that handle sick lambs
may transmit the infection.
Medical treatment is Impractical, as
the disease works so quickly. But
strictly sanitary precautions may blot
out the Notwithstanding and bury
ing deep all dead animals. Lambing
sheds and corrals should he cleaned
and disinfected with sheep dip in 3
to per cent solution.
The adjoining ground ought to be
plowed and left vacant for several
months. During the next lainbing sea-
son the ewes should be moved to clean
lambing grounds and kept there until
the lambs are three weeks old.

Teach Chicks to Perch
While Thew Are Young

Not all authorities agree that chicks
should he allowed to perch early in
life. Neither do oil agree they should
be permitted to squat on the ground.
But they must do the one thing or the
other AS soon as the wing feathers
have sufficiently grown so they may be
used, Nature seems to prompt the
chicks TO perch.
Ierching at tender age is likely TO
bend the breast bone, which is little
more than gristle. But after the breast
has become more firm ii will require
considerable pressure TO bend it.

EARhM,N'uQpTEESS

The shallow furrOw method OF po-
tato planting followed by cultivation
with a weeder cuts costs and increases
yields.
One can make as much money put
ting phosphorus on the soil, where it
is needed. as in any other kind Uf
farming activity.
Four hundred pounds of live chick
ems need as much air as d. 1900 pound
horse, so ventilation in the hen house
is as necessary as in the barn.
Leaving machinery standing out
doors increases farm expenses and
cuts down profits.
More than four hundred million hens
live on American farms. Some of them
lay, some lie. some sit and hatch
brood of chicks, and some just set.

Corn silage. especially when soy
beans are grown with the corn, is
one of the most important constitu-

Orchardists who have not had ex-
perience in busting should try the

weird and extraordinary courtship
