In reply to the query, "How do the
white, silver-laced and golden Wyan-
dottes compare as general all-around
birds, also for laying and breeding,”
the following reply is made:
There is very little difference in the
three varieties of the Wyandotte fam-
ily named provided that they are all
equally well handled. Much depends
upon strain, for there are good and
poor egg-laying strains, in all breeds
of fowls and their different varieties.

When the raising of chickens was
haphazard, the percentage of losses
from a setting was light. Now it is
down to a science and everything in
the way of sanitation counts, just as it
does in the preserving of human life.
An Illinois man has devised an auto-
matic feeder and fountain which keeps
the water, grain, grit, etc., that is fed
to the little fowls clean and whole-
some. It also regulates the supply, so
that they do not gobble it all up at
once. The feature of the fountain is
a glass reservoir, for which purpose a
fruit can can be used as well as any-
thing else. This jar is filled with wa-
ter or feed, and the pan that forms
the bottom of the fountain placed on
top. The jar is then inverted, bring-
ing the pan right side up. The jar
rests on, raised portions of the pan,
and the contents of the reservoir flow
from it gradually as the chickens de.
plenish the supply in the pan.

It would be futile to deny the grav-
ity of the landslides along the Cul-
ebra cut. Utterly stupid, on the oth-
er hand, it would be to overrate their
importance. The descent of five hun-
dred and fifty thousand cubic yards
of loose earth recently was an im-
pressive disaster, but the current is-
sue of the Canal Record states that
this slide, added to those which have
occurred since last July, does not ex-
ceed the total of 6,104,000 cubic yards
allowed for slides in the central di-
vision in the revised estimates made
at that time, nor will the added ex-
cavation increase the estimate of cost
of excavation in the central division
made in October, 1908.

Kill Afflicted Birds.
If the discharges are green when
fowls are afflicted with roup they are
generally past all aid, and the sooner
put out of their misery the better it
will be for them and for the rest oi
the flock. Kill and burn the diseased
birds in some place not frequented
by the rest of the flock.

Mechanics. The music will not sound
natural, but weird and distant.
The trick is done by placing the end
pf a small stick on a music box in the
basement of the house and allowing
the other end to pass up through the
door and table top so it will project
about one-sixteenth of an inch. The
stick may be placed by the side of, be-
hind or through the center of a table
leg. Be careful not to have any ob-
struction in the way of the stick. The
Instrument is placed sideways on the
protruding end of the stick. The
“fake” work of invoking the “spirits”
Is performed and ended by stamping
the foot, which signals the operator in
the basement to start the machine,
and the violin seemingly produces mu-
sic without anyone touching it.
So impressive are the results, that
many people really think the spirits
of the departed are playing the violin
with unseen hands. The music is
transmitted thrdiigh the stick from the
music box to the violin.

Science is making the dictionary big-
ger every day. A hundred years ago
nearly every common word now con-
nected with electricity was wholly un-
known; steam and all the names now
applied to railroads, engines, gas, the
telegraph, the telephone and a hundred
and one other important subjects never
had been heard of—and they would
make a small dictionary in themselves.
And now the single invention for throw-
ing moving pictures on screens, vari-
pusly known as the vitascope or kineto-
scope, has added dozens of new words
to the language within the last year or
two. Here is a list of the various
names for “movement photography:”

Feeding for Profit.
The poultryman who can give
the right amount of the right food at
all times is fortunate, indeed, for with
individual hens, as with people, they
require different quantities at differ-
ent times. A hen that is laying an egg
a day, or even every other day, will
consume considerable more food than
one that

Ducks do not make good sitters—

It takes a pretty good hen to stay
on the job three whole weeks and
bring off a nice litter of chicks.
The composition of eggs is about 65
per cent, water. Hence the necessity
for supplying it plentifully and pure.
Early in the season, when few hens
are broody, the incubator will be
found necessary to produce early
chicks^
If the hen nests are supplied with
fresh clean material there will be no
need of washing the eggs before send-
ing them to market.
In their wild state, guinea fowls
mate in pairs, and many, particularly
earlier, writers on the subject recom-
mend mating them thus in captivity.
Even with the large addition to the
plants that have been made the past
ten years, the demand for squabs now
is just as far in excess of the supply
as it was then.
Dust young turkeys and their moth-
er, once every two weeks, with insect

is a good habit to acquire.

Hustling the Pupils.
Most all nations condemn the Amer-
ican system of education. In Germany,
France and England, boys and girls
are allowed at least two years longer
than here to learn the same things,
and thus what they learn is not so
easily forgotten.
The hard study required of Ameri-
can school children gives them
eyes, keeps them indoors too
and affects the general health,
sole aim of the teachers seems
to hustle them through the grades and
get rid of them. We are being so bad-
ly criticized for this that it seems as
if some change should be made.
W. E. Vaplon of the Colorado Agri-
cultural college, has suggested a good
way to improve the poultry stock.
Twenty hens in a colony house about
7x9 out in the orchard, with a yard
about 50 feet square, will furnish a
setting of eggs per day during the sea-
son, which is about all the average
farmer will care to use. Keep two
males for this pen, changing every few
Jays. The right kind of a cock bird
Is too unselfish for his own good and
will call the hens to eat all the good
things while he goes hungry; shut-
ting him up a few days and feeding
him will keep him in better condi-
tion.
This plan also prevents fighting and
will mean more fertile eggs. Weight,
(rigor, appearance of the flock, laying
qualities, all will be greatly improved
and the infertile eggs produced by the
balance of the flock will keep better
fluring warm weather, and will be
much better for putting away for next
winter.
the most precious jewels. Here the
little ones gather nosegays for mam-
ma and teacher, as well as for their
own well-kept, desks in the school-
room.
And how delightfully cordial is the
genial sun in the early spring morn-
ing! He seems to say to each little
boy and girl: “Hello,
and maid!” And then
cheeks as the breezes
pulling at their curls.
Who would be in bed and asleep in
a bright spring morning when all the
earth is awake and smiling? Just
jump out from between your covers as
soon as the sun peeps one eye over
the horizon and let him see that his
good example of early rising has been
joyfully followed. By doing this you
will have two full hours before school
to enjoy your outdoor sports and
games.
And try to have half of this recrea-
tion time before breakfast, for this
will give added relish for your meal
as well as clear your brain for the
day’s lessons at school.

The brand of “S” figures in an ex-
traordinary act passed by our parlia-
ment in 1547. Any able-bodied man
or woman found loitering and not
seeking work for the space of three
flays could be seized and brought be-
fore two justices of the peace, who,
upon confession or on the proof of
two witnesses, “shall immediately
cause the said laborer to be marked
with a hot iron in the breast the
mark of W’ and adjudge the said per-
son living so idly to the presenter,
to be his slave for two years. The said
slave shall be made to work by beat-
ing, chaining or otherwise,” says the
London Chronicle. If convicted
of running away during this period,
the justices could cause him to be
branded on the forehead or the cheek
with the letter “S” and then adjudged
to his master as a slave forever. For
running away a second time the pen-
ilty was death.

The department of agriculture has
recently called attention to the back-
wardness of this country as a produc-
er of the particular kind of crops that
go to the making of perfumes, says
the Washington Post Swift in the
development of other industries, we
have been extremely neglectful of our
opportunities in this particular, since,
it is claimed, we can raise in one
part of the United States or another
all of the plants needful for an innum-
erable variety of sweet odors, from
ylang-ylang to attar or roses. This
Information doubtless is intended to
sefve as a timely spur to our indus-
trial and commercial lethargy. And
yet-ihe news fails to carry with it &a*y
great sense of shame. It is difficult
to assign the reason why the possi-
bilities thus pointed out produce little
or no enthusiasm, yet such is the
case. It must be because the making
of perfumes is not pre-eminently an
indication of national vigor or great-
ness. Certain it is that their univer-
sal use by a people is not a sign of
virility. Weak and effeminate nations
have been given proverbially to the
use of unguents and ointments,
■whereas soap and civilization have
been inseparably conjoined. So long
as we lead in soap, it matters little
who manufactures the aromatics. A
good bath is better than much volatile
oils, while civet and musk may cov-
er a multitude of sins, especially those
of omission.

Not for Willie.
A country woman and her little boy
were visiting the city, and while see-
ing the sights of the place the mother’s
eye was attracted by the showy dis-
play of stuffed animals in a taxider-
mist’s shop window.
“Let’s go in here and see what we
can get for you, Willie,” said the
mother.
“Sure, ma, and—” His eye fell upon
a sign over the shop door, which read:
“Let us tan your hides.”
‘Oh, no. no, ma, let’s don’t go in
there; I get ’huff of that at home,” he
cried excitedly, and they passed up the
taxidermist’s shop.—Mack’s National
