The poultryman who has a well Managed flock is the poultryman who will receive the biggest returns "from the fall increase in egg proaction., v Pullets should be ready for the 5 v laying house in early fall. The house inould be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before the, birds are placed inside. Broken window panes should be replaced, and if drop curtains are used on open-front houses, .these should be checked ior needed ftpairs.. X^CuH all pullets ^carefully.

Do not change pullets from growfBg mash to laying mash until they have reached 25 per cent produc- ^ tion. Then change the mash gradually over a period of two weeks. Don't buy cheap mash--it is the most expensive in terms of results produced for money spent. Keep a good grade of mash before layers - at all times. See that they have ^plenty of fresh water. . ' Practice rigid sanitation to keep Hie dpath rate down. Keep accurate records on the flock. Without records the poultry business is a hit- Or-miss affair--mostly miss. Good breeding males are essential but scarce. If these have not been secured, get them at once. .. Early fall is a good time* to plant gazing crops. A mixture of Italian "itfe grass and crimson clover will provide excellent winter and spring grazing. Sqy Meal Chick Feed Is Recommended in Rations Since soybean oil meal has become such an important factor in poultry rations, due to its economy as protein carrier, it is worth noting the results of experiments at the University of Wisconsin, says the Country Home Magazine. An allmash ration containing 12 parts soybean. meal, two parts meat scrap, and two parts dried milk plus minerals (in 100 parts) was better than one containing 16 parts soybean meal plus minerals, as measured in weight of chicks at 8 and 20 weeks, and in feed consumed for gains made. ; Another ration consisting of 12 Srts soy meal, two parts meat scrap d two parts dried milk plus minerals (in 100 parts) was not so effective as one containing eight parts meat scraps and eight parts dried milk, when measured at eight Weeks, but was 'about as good at 20 weeks. The 12-2-2 ration (above) was about equal to one with eight parts soy meal, four parts meat scraps and four parts dried milk plus minerals and one with eight parts meat scraps and eight parts milk at 20 weeks of age. With laying pullets at 11 months various combinations of soy meal with meat •craps and dried milk plus minerals gave good egg production and were etter than when the sole.source of tin was soybegtn me% Etching Inventors Used • Sea Shells in 1000 A. D. The Hohokam, or "ancient ones," who reached their highest development in southern Arizona about 1000 A. D., were the inventors of etching-- at least 500 yefts before the secret was discovered in Europe. They used sea shells, according to a writer in the Washington Star. On such a Shell a design was drawn with a stick dipped in wax or pitch. It was then immersed in an acid, probably the unfermented juice of the giant cactus fruit, which slowly ate away the unprotected parts of the shell and left the design standing out. The. process of etching on metal by an acid process was not discovered in Europe until about 1500. Another ; accomplishment of the "ancient ones*- was probably the independent discovery of rubber. Seme time after 500 A. D. they began playing a peculiar form of ball game in a court with high earthen sides. One of these courts measured about 200 feet in length and 90 feet in width. At the center a stone was buried beloW the floor, and goal stones were set into the floor near each end of. the court. It was similar to the stone-walled ball courts of the Maya Indians in Yucatan and Guatemala, 1,500 miles to the south. . .' ^ In this game, as the Mayas played it, stone rings were set vertically into the walls, well above the floor and central in relation to the length of the court. The ball, made of rubber and about the size of a baseball, was bounced off the hips of the players, grouped in two teams, in an effort to £end it ^through the fetone ring, 'j. FIND GOLD AND OIL AMID HEAD HUNTERS Consult Your Although the vaccination of cattle afeainst Bang's disease (contagious abortion) looks promising, it is still experimental and Should . not be done except by a skilled veterinarian, warns Dr. J. R. Mohler, chief of the bureau of animal industry in Washington. The vaccine being used contains living Bang's disease germs, and should not be used on mature or pregnant cattle as it may infect them. As applied to calves to prevent, not to cifre, the disease it seems tp give encouraging reliults, but the results of tests in 250 . herds in a number of states are .needed before the vaccine can, be 'officially endorsed. „ Turnips for Horses Turnips may be fed to horses either boiled or raw, though this feed is not a common one for this Class of stock, advises a writer in the Montreal Herald. Roots should not be depended on for the energy needed by working horses. Roots «Te about 90 per cent water, so that it would take 100 pounds of them to equal 10 pounds of hay in dry feed. It is doubtful whether turnips would have any sffect on heaves." Pottery and Stoves in Ancient Chinese Graves The ancient Chinese, like the Egyptians, were much concerned about extending the necessities, comforts and conveniences of life to their deceased relatives and friends. Consequently they buried with the dead various implements and even human servitors. Among the things buried with the dead were pottery models of stoves, so that the cooking of food might be continued in the other world. A number of these, dating to about the beginning of the Christian era, are in the hall of Chinese archeology of Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago. Also exhibited is a cast-iron stove of a type practical for actual use in cooking. This, although likewise found buried in a grave, is of the type of stove upon which the people of the period did their cooking, according to a curator of sinology. Made during the later Han dynasty (A. D. 25-220), it is one of the oldest extant castiron objects in the world. The process of casting iron was unknown to the ancient Greeks and Romans, but was the basis of an important industry in ancient China. Iron founders amassed large fortunes, and in 119 B. C., during the reign of Emperor Wu, the industry t^e- - came'-a- state monopoly. ' Visible Stars • There are not many more than 0,000 stars that are visible to1 ordinary eyes under the best of visibility conditions. Half of these stars are always below the horizon. That would leave about 3,000 visible at one time were it not for the fact that the fainter stars disappear when close to the horizon, because their light cannot penetrate the thick layers of mist-laden atmosphere there. The number of stars visible to the naked eye in the clearest and darkest skies is between 2,000 and 2,500. Haze, moonlight or the glare of the street lamps may reduce this number by half or more. A field glass brings out more than 50,000, while a telescope of two inches aperture raises the number to hundreds of thousands. As the power of the telescope increases the stqr count leaps forward. • Mount Ararat Mount Ararat is a twin-peaked mountainous area situated where Armenia and Persia meet, south of the Caucasus range. It is noteworthy for its extensiveness rather than its height, the highest peak being something under 17,000 feet. The mountain is of volcanic origin. Its lower regions are inhabited and the summits have been repeatedly ascended and thoroughly explored. The statement that Noah's ark rested on Mount Ararat has no foundation in the Hebrew text, which reads that "the ark . . . rested on the mountains of Ararat," says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. In ancient times Ararat was the name of a district in eastern Armenia, and sometimes also for all Armenia and the mountainous ridge in the southern part of that country. Confining Poult# Trim the tips of chicken's wings, perhaps one wing more than the other, to keep them from flying over «ie> fence, is the advice of the Indiana Farmer's Guide. Uneven trimming will unbalance the bird when an attempt to fly is made. Very little of the wing needs to be taken off to stop this practice and little attractiveness of the bird will be'lost. This suggestion is the most economical and practical for thn_s poultryman. / Scutage, Shield Money . , Scutage or shield money was a tax first levied by Henry II in 1159. The owner of every knight's shield or scutum was obliged to pay a sum ftt money known as scutage or ekin lieu of personal service. - Strongest, Bravest of the Gods Thor was, in Scandivanian mythol- * ogy, the eldest son of Odin and Frigga, strongest and bravest of the gods. He launched the thunder, presided over the air and the seasons, and protected man from lightning and evil spirits. His wife was Sif ("love"); his chariot was drawn by ' two he-goats, his mace or hammer was called Mjolner; his belt was Megingjard and whenever he put it on his strength was double. His palace was Thrudvangr and contained 540 halls. Thursday is Thor's day. The v/ord means refuge from terror.

New Guinea and Pa^ua Explored by Air Parties. .' Sydney, Australia.--Reports from exploring parties in New Guinea and adjoining Australian territory of Papua indicate the existence of large gold and oil fields. But there is one serious drawback to their exploitation-- head-hunting tribes. Jack Hides, one of the most intrepid of the explorers, in his report, detailed the fact that Vhile he was the guest of the chief of one of the local tribes with whom he was negotiating for mining concession^, a raiding party came in with thirtyeight newly severed heads. Despite this and other drawbacks, companies are being formed here for the development of these natural resource^ of the two territories. Preliminary reports received to date, however, indicate that development of these geld and oil fields will entail difficulties never before encountered in any part of the world. Aside from the perils of head hunters, the two territories present almost insurmountable difficulties. It is realized that the. transportation, of all necessary machinery will have to be by planes. This is further complicated by the fact that everywhere the forests and jungles are so dense that it will be a long time before landing fields ©an* be erected. In the meantime sea planes of the prospectors are forced to land on the various rivers where facilities arfe\complicated because the rivers are infested with crocodiles which 'seem to have a penchant for nosing around planes. Nevertheless, the reports received demonstrate that numerous prospecting parties have been able to esestablish camps albng the various streams, and that the pilots have developed an uncanny instinct for being able to locate them and keep up means of communication.

Researchers of the Scripps Institution of,,Oceanography of the University of California announced that all ordinary bacteria or "germ-carrying" microbes are killed instantly when exposed to the lake's concentrated salt waters. No land or freshwater bacteria has yet been found which can live in the saline concentrated waters of the lake, they disclose. It was found that the lake water was not only highly bactericidal, or "killing," but was also bacteriostatic, or "retarding,," to the already present salt-water-type bacteria. Some types of microbes are living in the lake, said the scientists, but they differ Trom those of other habitants in that they develop slowly and are in smaller colonies. They are believed to be species which became used to the slowly increasing saltwater concentration during the time the waters of the old Lake Bonneville evaporated, leaving the saline residue of Salt lake. The series of experiments was made by Dr. Claude E. Zobell and D. Quentin Anderson, of the Scripps institution, and W. Whitney, of the department of bacteriology University of Utah. f ; - Mr.'And Mrs. John Kilday; Mrs. McAuliffe of Chicago spent the weekend in the h6nv£ of her daughter, Mrs. Walter Brooks.

P. J. Hoffmaster, conservation director, said the archers will be required to purchase a special license to try their luck with "big game." The 1937 Michigan legislature passed an act, which was signed by Governor Frank Murphy, providing for a bow-and-arrow season on deer and bear from November 1 to 14, inclusive, which will be followed, November 15, by the opening of the regular deer season. Archers may shoot d^er or bear in Iosco and Newago counties without competition from rifle hunters. Each bow-and-arrow hunter will be limited to one antlered deer whose antlers are not less than three inches above the skull, and one bear- Possession of firearms by, archers will be prohibited. Front-Seat Auto Rideii Told Not to Lincoln, Neb.--Don't cross your legs if you are riding in the front seat of an automobile with a reckless driver. That is the advice of Dr. Robert Funsten, professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of Virginia. He read a paper on "Dashboard Dislocations of the Hip" at the fiftieth annual convention of the American Orthopedic association here. This type of injury is.a frequent result of automobile collisions and presents a serious surgical problem, he said. The passenger in the front seat can avoid it by planting both feet on the floor boards and leaning well back in the seat. If he crosses his legs, he is likely to dislocate his hip as well as injure his knee. That means confinement in a hospital for eight or ten veeks, Dr. Funsten said. ?<• 5 Modern PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN S Polarized Light Old The polarized light idea was tried out more than eighty years ago.
