Poultry Facts

4H club members in New York
state are expected to raise 26,OO0
pheasants this year.
Chicks hatched from hens laying
small eggs will not produce eggs
that top the market.
II the house is a small one and
can be raised off the ground, the
hens may be allowed to run an
der it.
Pullets will not develop into
healthy, vigorous birds if their vi
tality is sapped by overheating and
crowding during the night.
Crossing different breeds of poul-
try will not produce a standard
product and is not advisable when
one is attempting to obtain a high
egg yield.

thing fresh, different, and rest
full to the eyes after a season
of SO much dullneSS.
A Bit More Formal
This seasons satins are either
white or pastel, and they are
designed so that they may be
worn for spectator sports, or
for not-too-formal afternoon
affairs. They necessarily take
accessories that are either semi
formal, or definitely afternoon
in their tone. Simple kid or
calf shoes, matching bag, and
a turban or straw hat that is
not sports-like go well with
them, and jewelry a bit more
dressed-up than you'd wear with
a dull crepe. Some of them
have jackets, some haven't,
but all have some form Of
sleeve, either in a jacket or
in the dress.

A Spine TinsIins Epic Of a
Game Hunter and His Prev

The fact that this killing had
taken place almost within a
stones throw Of my traps
sho' : me how foolish it had
been to waste any time trying
to trap this crafty animal. I
was sorry had ever let Cattle
persuade me to take any part
in the attempt to trap him.
The result had been merely to
give Cattle a false feeling that
something was being done, and
another life had been lost.
l determined that 1 would
see Cattle as soon as he came
to town again, and renew my
argument on behalf of the only
way l could see of ending the
Killers career-baiting him
with a human body. Law or
no law, things were getting
desperate.
Cattle didn't come to town
that week, but there was more
news from the Killer. One OF
the shooters from an estate
just south of Gattle's had been
standing near the edge Of the
jungle waiting for a coolie to
bring his supper. Dusk was
setting in when he heard the
coolie greeting him with q
characteristic "Yoo-hoo!" from
a point about $50 yards off.
1t is customary in jungle coun-
try for people to make it
known that they are approach
ing as soon as they are within
earshot.
The shooter responded with q
welcoming shout of his own.
The coolie replied. The shooter
greeted him again. Again the
coolie "yoo-hood" and this time
he was so close that the
shooter could hear him coming
through the heavy brush that
bordered the narrow path along
which he was walking.
Then suddenly there was
silence. The footsteps ceased.
The shooter loosed another
"yoo-hoo" but there was no
reply. Again he yelled. Silence
once more:
Ill at Ease
The shooter became worried.
He started beating around in
the bush in search of the
Supper-bearer. but failed to
find him. He began to real
iZe something was wrong, and
decided to make a dash for
the coolie lines and get help.

later with q crowd of natives,

The poor dog has a bone
stuck in its throat. 1t has been
having trouble eating and
drinking for several days. Now
it sits there with its jaw
hung open and the slobber
drooling out of it's mouth, and
every once in a while it gags
in an effort to diSlodge the
bone.
1t would be so easy to help
it out. From all appearances
the bone is just in the back
of the throat. You could put
your hand in and get hold OF
the bone and pull it out and
the poor dog would be better.
Don't do it!
Why not?
Because the dog hasn't got a
bone stuck in its throat. The
dog has rabies.
The dog with a supposed
bone stuck in its throat is
nearly always q mad dog. In
that stage of rabies or hydro
phobia the symptoms look as
if there were something stuck
in the throat, but the paralyzed
open jaw, the excessive SalaVa,
the retching and gagging are
really the symptoms of rabies.
Many people have been in
fected by putting the fingers
or hand in such a dogs mouth
in the misguided effort to dis
lodge q bone.
1t is sail in some quarters
that the fear of a mad dog
is greatly exaggerated, that man
cannot be infected with rabies.
Men who spend q great deal
of their time with animals tell
me that they have handled
many mad dogs, been Smeared
with the saliva. ETC., and With
out taking any precautions
have experienced no Ill results.
1t would be unfortunate if
such an idea should gain
ground. What are the facts?
True, man is not particularly
susceptible to drop hobia.
Even with dogs, who are very
susceptible, only about 40 per
cent of animals exposed become
infected. Only 16 per cent of
human beings exposed are in
fected.
The yearly average death rate
from hydrophobia in the United
States is 81. In 1928 1t was SO.
1t is hard to get away from
those figures. The opponents

It's just a little surprising,
in q season of dull surfaces, to
see an occasional satin gleam-
ing in the shadows. It's still
more of novelty to see a smart
woman wearing pastel satin
on the street. We had them
last year, unusual and smart
for sports, but except for a few
left.overs, we've seen very few
this summer. But just for that
reason. a few women who want
to be different prefer them, and
they find that they can get a
nice variety in their wardrobes
by this very decided change in
fabric.
Coming f0r Fall
Then there's another reason,
beside their very different look,
for some women liking them,
and that is that they smack
slightly of fall, making you
look like you'd thought ahead,
were just a little advanced in
your planning. Nearly all the
Paris couturiers showed satin in
their midseason collections, par
ticularly in the things for fall
wear. Satin was quite a favo-
rite for evening, and was seen

building OF tiger traps before,
and it was unnecessary to give
him much advice in the mat.

geSted a few Improvements on
the type of trap ne had in
mind. We had started back
when Cattle came up to join
us and expressed his SatlSfac-

much on those traps. This

that evening, pretty much dis

about what l felt was the only
possible way Of dealing with
this particular demon. l was

Two Chinese woodchopperS
had been working within 10
yards of each other in the
jungle a short distance from
the spot which 1 had selected
for Johorars traps. Without
warning the Killer appeared out
of the tall grass and with a
mighty lunge reached one OF
the choppers. A single slap

eater, its jaws gripping its vic
TINS head, was making off
through the jungle while the
other woodchopper, paralyzed
with fear, stood rooted in his
tracks. Ironically enough, the
victims screams could be heard
from inside the tigers jaws
while his friend could make no
sound from his throat. Not
that it would have done any
good had he been able to yell,
for there was no help near at
hand.
On the Trail
Johoral and a number Of
armed natives had taken up the
trail a short time after the
woodchopper was carried off.
All they managed to do was to
determine that this was an
other job by the Killer of Kuali,
since the tell-tale three-toed
footprint was there. They did
not succeed in locating the body
of its victim, and the indica-
tiocs were that it had been
dragged three or four miles into
the jungle and there devoured.

rs hand tuStlfieS an opening
semi-demand bid of 2-Spades,
under official procedure. Many
players utilize such holdings
for an opening bid of three, to
show q probably established
suit, in hand worth at least
seven probable tricks. z made
an opening bid of 4-Spades,
thereby shutting out adverse
contracting, but leaving him
with too great a contract to
fulfill, except for AS folly.
Wanting to view dummy be-
fore deciding what would be
the best defensive policy, A
led his Ace Of Clubs. Seeing
the long line of that suit in
dummy and the lone heart, to
cut off possible ruffs by Y,
A led his lowest spade. BIS j
fell, and the declarer won
the trick. Hoping that he
might obtain one ruff OF
hearts, z led a low heart, put ,
up dummys K, and AS Ace
won the trick, but the latter
had no trump to prevent
dummy from ruffing a heart.
B led his K of diamonds. The
declarer won the trick, led
back a low heart, and dummy
trumped the trick with his only
remaining spade.
OF course there was pos
sibi1ity that. A might ruff a
Club lead, but the declarer did
not believe that he could DO
so, or B would have led a Club,
instead of a Diamond, when he
won his Heart trick. In any
event the Club appeared to be
the most rational lead from
dummy. BIS Ten went up, and
rs King won the trick. The
declaring side had thus far won
four of the six tricks played.
A steady stream Of winning
trumps began to flow from the
declaring hand, causing B no
end of perplexity concerning
what he should save. z won
the eighth to the eleventh
tricks by leading Spades. A
followed suit twice, and upon
the tenth and eleventh tricks
he discarded his Six and Nine
of Hearts. Dummy retained his
Jack of Clubs, the latter oblig-
ing B to keep his Queen of
Clubs, as B did not know who
held the Five of that suit.
Dummy also discarded down
to the Ten and Eight of Dia-
monds. with the Jack held by
A, but without B knowing
where it was held.
At the tenth trick. B had to
decide which discard to make
from the following cards: J-l0
of Hearts. with the o. missing;
the @ of Clubs alone, with the
S missing and the j staing at
him in Dummy; the lone @ Of
Diamonds, with the J-9 missing.
B decided to trust his partner
Tor the missing j OF Diamonds.
SO he let go his @. When the
eleventh trick was won with rs
last trump, A discarded his last
Heart and B let go his 10 of
Hearts. 2 led his Q of Hearts,
and A, instead of diScarding his
perfectly useless S of Clubs, let
go his good j of Diamonds, as
the crowning act Of his miSer-
able defensive tactics, leaving
the 9 good in the declaring
hand, as Dummy'S 10 had been
discarded previously. Thus z
won IL tricks on a hand worth
only nine tricks against perfect
defense.

of the belief of hydrophobia in
man say that the Pasteur
treatment has no power to pre-
vent the disease. In 1908 and
1909 the PaSteur Institute IN
Paris treated 991 cases with
two deaths.
Let us analyze these statistics.
If is per cent of people ex-
posed to hydrophobia become
infected, we would expect out
of 991 persons exposed, at least
$50 deaths. Because if hydro
phobia once develops, death in
evitably follows. The actual
death rate instead of $50, was
two.
It would seem. then. that the
treatment is definitely valuable.
Admittedly The treatment IS
somewhat depilitating, but no
permanent harm comes from it.
