DUBBING TO KEEP
1 COMBS FROM FROST
Simple Operation Prevents
i Damage to the Birds.
By G. T. Klein, Extension Poultry Husband-
man, Massachusetts State College.—
WNU Service.
Dubbing of the comb and wattles
©f chickens is a very easy way of
preventing injury from freezing.
Dubbing is not a bloody and dan-
gerous operation. The comb and
wattles are removed with a pair of
tin snips with rounding points when
the birds are about 8 or 10 weeks
old.
There is usually so little bleeding
that no precautions to stop it are
necessary: •.'Rercnloride of iron is a
common remedy for stopping flow
of ,blood, on birds that give trouble.
Dubbed birds should be yarded by
themselves, but other extra care is
seldom necessary.
The dubbed birds are not par-
ticularly attractive, but this is no
disadvantage for the production
breeder iriterested in eggs and high
hatches of salable chicks. The
dubbed males stand up better in the
breeding pen and are not affected by
cold weathep.
With leghorns there is an advan-
tage in- dubbing both males and fe-
males. With heavy breeds this is
not so necessary with the hens.
In sections where dubbing is ex-
tensively followed there is a feeling
that dubbed birds are more valua-
ble as breeders, not only the first
year but the second and third years.
This seems entirely reasonable
since the comb is a secondary sex
organ and is generously supplied
with blood. When this supply of
blood is not needed by the comb it
probably goes to the reproductive
organs.
Claim Amber Saves Doctor Bills
Much of the amber which may be
' seen occasionally in Scottish homes
was once regarded with supersti-
tious awe, according to an authority
who says that a piece of it was be-
lieved capable of protecting its own-
er from infectious diseases. Witches
and fairies, an ancient belief held,
had no power over the owner of
amber, and strings of amber beads
were often given daughters on the
eve of marriage. Many declared
that such a necklace made the bride
the most beautiful of women to her
husband and rendered her charms
irresistible.
Tusks Shipped to London
Elephant tusks from the African
and Indian jungles are shipped to
London, says Pearson’s London
Weekly. Here an age-old trade, the
cutting and selling of ivory to buy-
ers from all over the world, goes on
unchanged, much as it has for
years. It takes 1,200 elephants to
provide the market with ivory for
one year. Few elephants are killed
for their tusks. Most of the ivory is
collected by natives from dead ele-
phants found in the jungles.

Colonists Had a Dog Mart
The colonists needed good dogs.
Usually the ones they raised weren’t
as good as they wanted, so they be-
gan trading with the Indians for
their' dogs. So once a year the col-
onists and the Indians met and
swapped dogs. The dog mart was
discontinued during the Revolution,
and revived only a few years ago.
Origin of Word ‘Chipper’
Although it is conceivable that the
word “chipper” may come from
“chipmunk,” an Algonquin word,
with the derived meaning, “as live-
ly as a chipmunk,” it is generally
listed in dictionaries as derived
from English dialect forms akin to
“chirrup” and “pert,” with the ad-
dition of some onomatopoeia.
Took Utrecht by Accident
One hundred and fifty years ago,
with civil war raging in Holland,
the king of Prussia, professedly to
obtain adequate satisfaction for the
injury done his sister, marched his
army in and by accident took
Utrecht and possessed himself of
Amsterdam.

The Scouts are celebrating a birthday again—the 29th
this time—with a message that “Scouting Carries on Amer-
ican Ideals”; ideals of service and cooperation, tolerance
and religious obligation, and homjage to the responsibilities
and privileges of participating citizenship. It (is a welcome
message for the future of American democracy that more
than a million and a quarter njen and boys are now active
members of a movement which, although founded to cap-
italize on the love all boy.s have for adventure in the out-
of-doors, does not fail to provide practical ways for helping
them to fulfill the obligations felt by every genuine Ameri-
can. America has every right to be proud of its Boy Scouts
for the part played by Scouting in developing character and
citizenship among boys and the millions of men who are
former Scouts and continue to live by these ideals. .
Adult Scouters in Carson county are
headed by Ray W. Veale, White Deer, dis-
trict chairan, R. E. Vaughan, Panhandle,
district vice-chairman; G. M. Brunnier,
Groom, district commissioner.
Scoutmasters: Troop 1, Panhandle, F.
