~ BY and Side-line of DIR. Fred r.
Steere, physician and druggist of Clare
mont, Virginia.
His collection of phcasants includes
Goldens, Silvers, Ringnecks, Lady Am
hersts and Reeves.
OF these, the most striking is the cock
of the Goldens. With brilliant plumage
of yellow, orange and bright red, with
relief touches of blue black, he is, indeed
naughty autocrat, golden crowned.
The handsome Silver cock is nearly
all white, with breast and throat of iri
descent blue.
Pioneer Pheasant Breeder
Reeves and Ringnecks are of subdued
colors, but, none-thc-lcss aristocrats. Tail
quilts of some of these measure from 20
to over 80 inches. In the heavy sleet of
last winter, some were fast bound to the
ground by ice and were pulled out i'll the
frantic effort of the birds to free them
selves.
DIR. Steere was the first to introduce
in Virginia, the breeding of fancy strains
of pheasants. He bought few pairs for
pets. As his interest grew, he added to
his collection. In addition TO pheasants,
he now raises hundreds of bob-white
quail and has few wood ducks.
Silkic hens and Golden Seabright ban
tams are used for Matching the frail eggs
and as foster mothers. Modern and arti-
fetal methods of incubation and breeding
are also used.
Sells Eggs and Birds
DIR. Steere is native of Petersburg
Virginia. He was graduated from the
Medical College of Virginia, at Rich
mond, and practiced his profession in that
city several years. About 20 years ago,
he located III Clarcmont.
notwithstanding frequent calls as
physician, DIR. Steere spends much time
working with his birds and in packing
and shipping eggs and birds to distant,
and nearby markets.
Subdued in color, the Reeves pleas

yet be of much value Copper sulphate
treatment increased the yields among
sweet corn, squash, and tomatoes.
The copper sulphate used in the ex-
periments was in snow form, mixed with
fertilizer at the rate of five pounds per
each 200 pound bag of fertilizer. No
special fertilizer was chosen, but the
mixture normally used for the land OH
which the test was to be conducted was
used in the experiment.
According to Mr.. Churchman, while
the experimental work with copper sui
phate has, to date, shown favorable re-
suits, much work needs to be done before
recommendations can be made which will
cover all types of crops raised in the
Middle Atlantic States.

OXYGEN FOR ANGINA
PECTORIS

In a talk about emergency reme-
dies for angina (accent on the an,
not on the GID the other day I men
toned that present view Of the i'm
mediate cause Of the attack-an-
oxernia, asphyxia, insufficient oxy-
gen to the heart muscle-but sug-
gested only two emergency reme-
dies, namely, absolute quiet, stand
ing, sitting or lying down; and nj
troglycerin.
A number of sufferers from
angina pectoris have hastened-a
thing no angina patient should ever
do-to tell me that If I ever have
the malady I'll find that the first
remedy Is superfiuous; one instinc-
lively remains immobile while the
seizure is on.
I had q vague notion that victims
of angina pectoris are usually
pretty quiet, but sought to impress
on the readers mind the desirable
fly Of avoiding even the effort OF
walking about or sitting up or
standing up or talking. for every
bit Of effort increases the demand OF
the heart muscle for oxygen in spite
Of the grave deficit.
Another emergency remedy which
Is extraordinarily efficacious not
only IN the attack of angina pee
toris but also In the still graver
eogonary thrombosis or occlusion, is
axygen. Not oxygen inhaled from
an oxygen tank, although that may
be valuable supplementary treat
meut, but oxygen injected into the
simultaneous tissues Of the belly
wall or flank. Limitations OF oxygen
from O tank are helpful provided
the patient can breathe well: but In
coronary thrombosis and many
other grave illynesses the breathing
Is likely TO be very shallow and lit
tie oxygen reaches the blood capu-
1aries in the air-cells Of the lungs.
With simple apparatus which any
up-to-date physician may carry in
his emergency bag, it is now posi-
BILE to administer to any patient
anywhere at any time pint Of oxy-
zen simultaneously. The blood
avidly picks up oxygen so admins
tered, and often the patient shows
and feels the beneficient effects even
before the injection is finished. DR..
q. d. simons said, In Clinical Medi-
cine and Surgery; "One pint OF In
jected oxygen gives the same benefi-
cial effect as hundreds OF gallons
BY inhalation, in pneumonias, heart
disease, asthma, severe infections"
There rs no danger OF embolism In
injecting oxygen gas. Even II little

would be well to bring the milk to
a boil for minute, to make it safe
for the baby. Or pasteurize 1t your

pain, itching, and other disturbances
which may occur in the nose.
The mucous membrane of the nose

of the most sensitive tissues in the
body. When it Is bruised or hurt
In any way, 1t responds promptly

also Is sensitive to various protein
substances, which will cause 1t to
swell and pour out a considerable
amount Of fluid.
OCCASIONALLY a small ulcer or in
lection in the nose will erode a
blood vessel; then a crust will form
and there will be an oozing OF
blood.
Inside the nose are hair follicies
and hairs which filter out dust or
infectious materials brought into the
nose with the air.
The pus-forming germs, such as
the staphylococcus and the strep-
toccoccus, are widespread and usu-
ally will enter the human body
whenever they come In contact
with tissues that have been damag-
ed In any manner. Then comes an
infection which may eventually
spread throughout the rest OF the
body.
A nose Is best let alone. The

leash to match. Collar and leashes
are mostly of traditional leather,
but style has crept into these and
they appear in some pretty tricky
color combinations, with two-color
braided effects, municipalities and
brass studs. Some cat owners do
not like to put collars on their pets
as they tend to spoil he ruff. This
difficulty has been overcome in
soft crocheted collar that weighs
practically nothing.
Brand new, and quite the gaud-
lest ever are collars, with leashes
to match, of fine woven mesh.
Some are Of nickel that look like
silver, while the gilded ones look
as If they would be perfectly at
home on the throat of an opera
box dowager. Anyone who has
ever tried to walk .sedately with
an energetic young airedale or
wire-haired terrier knows that
the dogs impatient surges against
the restraint Of the leash will
practically choke it half dozen
times In hundred feet. You can
eliminate this nuisance with an
new anti-choke spring that takes
up the shock.
Dogs Need Beautifiers
Being the highly emotional ami
mails they are, cats do a pretty
good job Of keeping
themselves clean and A
prettified. But dogs, -
like little boys, will 60 5

and washing gadgets make good
gifts for dogs. There's a swell
new brush with back Of saddle
stitched leather and bristles OF
real whalebone that are flexible,
but rugged enough to put sheen
on the coat of any animal short
of a porcupine. If your dog gets
fun out of a bath, as many do,
you might give him one of those
new dog washers that have a
spray head on a rubber tube. The
head has a brush and contains
soap, and is so arranged that a
flick of a lever will change soapy
water to clear and back again.

One of kitty's cute bits Of charac-

off the floor. Tabby also has q
habit Of nibbling q bit and then
leaving the food till later. Food
dishes in metal containers with
covers keep 1t clean for her while
she's busy on otherl affairs.

also practical boon to the cats
owner, is a scratching post. This
is merely short, strong post COW

which Tabby can scratch away to
her hearts delight and the safety
of rugs and upholstery.
You can get an assortment Of
toys and other presents all pack
ed neatly in Christmas packages
in the shape of Santa Claus
boot, a stocking, a chimney top,
or a fire hydrant. It's lots of fun
to watch the animals trying to
open these. Some direct-action-
lists will simply tear them apart,
while others seem to actually try
to figure out how to undo the
wrappings.
Wearing Apparel Is Useful

Food Dishes Aid Neatness
A food dish is always useful.
These come in wide variety, and
some are quite special
ized. For instance,
there's the spaniel bowl, -
shaped Ike a truncated
cone. Mr.. Cocker can
get his muzlze In at the
food, but his long, floppy ears
will stay outside, where tney be-
long. These come In decorated
china, metal and turned maple.
For toy-sized dogs or very
young pups there's a cute feeding
bowl of small size, guarded by q
large pop-eyed puppy q. In bright
ly colored china.
Some dogs are pigs gulping
their food to the point Of indiges-
ton. To force more sane eating
on these fellows. there. has been
designed an tnti-gulp bowl. 1t Ia
wide and shallow, and the inside
Is studded with blunt spikes that
effectually prevent the dog from
selling large hunks. Many Of the
dishes designed for dogs will
serve equally well for cats, but
you can get your cat a bowl that

letters.
