Austrian Fowls Lack
Proper Neck Covering
A peculiar breed of fowls called
Naked Neck has come to this country
from Austria, where it is said to
have originated. The name comes
from the fact that the fowls are desti-
tute of feathers from within an inch
or two back of the head down the en-
tire length of the neck and on to the
shoulders. This peculiarity of plum-
age is very marked, and the neck and
shoulders have an unnatural appear-
ance. They are not attractive; In
fact, they are very unattractive, and
the peculiar sensation to the hand
when grasping the naked portion of
the neck is very unpleasant. The skin
of the neck is smooth,-. and, when ex-
posed to the sun during the summer
months, turns red and has a raw ap-
pearance, as if the blood were gath-
ered beneath and close to the skin.
They are very hardy; are but seldom
seen, and have been bred in Austria
» only as novelties.

Indian Fishing Methods
The methods used by the Indians In
Ashing, before the advent of the white
man, were quite modern. Starting
from the simple device of attaching
the bait to the end of a line, the pro-
gressive order of fishhooks used by
the Indians seems to be as follows:
(a) The gorge hook, a !?pike of bone
or wood, sharpened at both ends and
fastened at its middie to a line, a de-
vice used also for catching birds; (b)
a spike set obliquely in the end of a
plain shaft; (c) the plain hook; (d)
the barbed hook; (e) the barbed hook
combined with sinker and lure. This
series does not exactly represent
stages in invention; the evolution
may have been effected by the habits
of the different species of flsh and
their increasing wariness. The mate-
rials used for hooks by the Indians
were wood, bone, shell, stone and cop-
per. The Mohave employed the re-
curved spines of certain snecies c'
